They are a mainstay of the UK’s High Street delicacies.
And it seems Greggs’ iconic sausage rolls have won the hearts of more than just Brits, as Rebel Wilson revealed she and fellow A-lister Kiefer Sutherland have a particular passion for the £1.25 puff pastry-wrapped porky treats.
The duo star together in new Christmas movie Tinsel Town, which was filmed in locations including Leeds and Harrogate, and follows the story of Keifer’s chacacter – a washed-up Hollywood action hero who is tricked into starring in UK pantomime.
While the stars could afford to eat Michelin Star cuisine, Rebel, 45, revealed she had instead fallen for the ‘exquisite taste of Greggs’ – a view shared by her co-star – while she also praised the impressive price point of a sausage roll.
Speaking to Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley on Thursday’s This Morning, she said: ‘The most exquisite taste of Greggs, their sausage rolls in particular. Kiefer is obsessed with them, so we got a Greggs van on set.

‘The catering was trying to do like a meatless Wednesday thing. Kiefer was like, ‘No, no, let’s get a Greggs van in. Crew loves it, and then they gave us both a £50 voucher which I still haven’t used up because the price is so good.’
Much to Rebel’s delight, she was gifted a gold selection of Greggs goodies in a hamper by Ben and Cat, to which she replied: ‘If people don’t know about the quality that is Greggs just get into it like me and Kiefer did.’
Rebel went on to discuss Tinsel Town, saying: ‘It’s a pretty sweet premise, and it is very, very British, because, you know, pantomime is such a thing here. And I mean, they don’t really have it in America.’
Despite professing her love for the pastries, earlier this year Rebel announced she was shaping up after overeating chocolate over Easter.
The star, who dropped more than 36kgs (around 80lbs) back in 2021, revealed that her latest attempt to change her eating habits has resulted in further weight loss.
‘My first few days were a bit rough giving up chocolate and ice cream – I wanted it so badly!’ she wrote on Instagram.

The health kick has resulted in a small weight loss for the performer.
‘I did happen to lose 1kg (2.2 pounds) last week – which is not the point of the challenge – but it goes to show you how many Easter Eggs I was eating before I started!’ she explained.
Rebel initially lost weight after a ‘year of health’ and some help from Ozempic, and has again cut out sweet treats in a new challenge to amend her eating habits.
In conversation with The Sunday Times last year, the movie star confessed about weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro: ‘Someone like me could have a bottomless appetite for sweets, so I think those drugs can be good.’
