Heartwarming footage shows two cheeky badgers playing together on a trampoline - in scenes reminiscent of the famous John Lewis Christmas advert.<br /><br />The adorable video shows the curious creatures frolicking and rolling around in a back garden in Birstall, Leics., at around 1am last Friday (25/8).<br /><br />The comical scene bears a resemblance to John Lewis' festive advert from 2016, where animated foxes, badgers and dogs bounce on a child's trampoline.<br /><br />The much-loved commercial, called 'Buster the Boxer', was viewed tens of millions of times and was voted the most popular John Lewis Christmas advert ever.<br /><br />Homeowner Lisa Kolade, 41, captured the badgers' antics on her home's CCTV security camera after noticing footprints in her garden earlier that week.<br /><br />She originally thought cats had been getting into the garden so was left stunned when she watched the footage back to see the playful pair on her trampoline.<br /><br />The mum-of-three, who lives with husband Zuse, 43, said the critters played together for around ten minutes and were welcome back in her garden anytime.<br /> <br />Lisa, a business administrator, added: "We had noticed during the week a hole under our fence and thought maybe cats had been getting in.<br /><br />"But then our plants started getting dug up and my daughter noticed some footprints on the trampoline which looked too big to be from a cat so I decided to watch the CCTV back. <br /><br />"I couldn't believe it when these two badgers came into shot. There's just one at first and then suddenly they are rolling about on the trampoline having a fun old time.<br /><br />"They played for about 10 minutes, at one point they catch a mouse and one of them also falls through the springs and under the trampoline. <br /><br />"I was delighted to have them visit. For a lot of people they can be a pest but they are welcome back anytime. I'm an animal lover and love badgers.<br /><br />"Up until recently I'd never even seen a badger - now I've got them playing on a trampoline in my back garden. It really made my day."
