The advert was filmed in 2011, during one of Nick’s most prolific times on EastEnders and featured the actor walking into a steam room and undressing himself.
As he closes his eyes to relax, he picks up a carrot, as the steam dissipates and cooking equipment starts to appear in the background.
It is then revealed that Nick is actually sitting naked in Gordon Ramsay’s kitchen.
Surrounding chefs watch in horror as Nick tries to cover his modesty as Gordon angrily slices up a sausage.
The brand's "should've gone to Specsavers" slogan then appears on screen, as Nick sits in awkward silence.
The creative director for Specsavers, Graham Daldry, spoke toThe Drumabout Nick's performance at the time.
He said: "A great performance from Nick Wilton, beautiful direction from Daniel Kleinman again and, of course, Gordon Ramsay to really make the joke count.
"It’s got to be worth three Michelin stars."
