Skoda’s halo slips as firm starts probe

SKODA was the car of choice for the Pope during his recent visit, yielding priceless global PR for the firm.

But they found themselves at the centre of a brouhaha this week after brand ambassador Ellen Kavanagh was accused of using her mobile behind the wheel of her free car after a social media post (right).

She quickly deleted the post and Skoda told the Diary they are investigating.
