Connolly records satnav voice

Billy Connolly has become the latest celebrity to lend his voice to satnav.

The comic has recorded instructions for the TomTom system, which users can download for £8.99.

He says on the system: ‘This really is Billy Connolly. It's not the creepy guy you get on cheap birthday cards. It's my real voice. No swearing, no dirty bits, I'll keep you safe.’

And the driving instructions also include jokes such as: ‘Turn around when possible. It is advisable to turn your entire car around. Do not just turn around inside the car.’

Other celebrities who have previously recorded similar driving instructions include Snoop Dogg and John Cleese.
