A Dinnington schoolboy is sinking his teeth into a new job after beating hundreds of hopeful applicants to be named Aldi’s chief Easter egg tasting officer.

To land the role, Travis Elvin, aged 11, who as well as being a chocolate lover is a keen golfer, footballer and guitar player, submitted a video entry in which he not only called out his favourite Aldi chocolates, including the Dairyfine Chocolate Buttons, but discussed ambitions to be a chocolatier in the future.

The competition saw hundreds of chocoholics across the nation share audition videos explaining why they were right for “the world’s sweetest job”.

Travis said: “When I grow up, I’d love to be a chocolatier. Last year I took part in a chocolate making activity in York, and also learnt about the history of it. Therefore, I’d love to see the other side of the chocolate world.”
