And sitting down with The Sun - Monkey admits she's anything but a diva on set.
The famous primate gushed: "She is the whole package, she is brains and beauty and has a sixth sense for when the kettle needs putting on... as do I.
"Filming the advert was an absolute pleasure.
"Mrs M and I, we have a lovely domestic life and it was a privilege to share it with the world. It is all the rage.
"Reala-tea TV. You are not going to get anywhere unless you give a few secrets and spill a little tea.

"I am very excited to be back. I've missed the spotlight. I can't lie."
Joking Mrs M was nervous to go public with their blossoming romance, Monkey continued: "I think she was probably intimidated when we first stepped out together, you know, someone with such a profile.
She had dabbled in influencing but reality TV is such a different kettle of tea. There is no where to hide."
During PG Tips' latest ad, Monkey and Mrs M playfully mock Posh and Becks - recreating Victoria's infamous Netflix moment when she tried to claim her family were working class.

But Monkey insists he has nothing but love for the famous duo.
Monkey said: "They are wonderful people Posh and Becks -they are aspirational figures.
"Happy Birthday to David. I don't know if I will have as many parties as he has when I hit the big fif-tea.
"I think we are up there with showbiz royalty."
He added of moving with the ever changing tastes of Britain: "I think as a monkey I have my finger on the pulse and as an ambassador for tea - the most controversial topic in Britain I have to be careful.

"But also I live life one cup of tea at a time. I try not to worry too much.
I respect all milks as long as they know thy are still settle fiddle to the bag. The main character in all of this."

"any ideas on when they might start? the suspense is killing me!" While some agreed, some believe the show will halt the announcement due to the cocaine probe involving two of the show's stars. "I think it will be next week. Strictly would have posted a 'reveals starting on Monday' post by now if reveals were on Monday," one responded. They added: "I think they want to calm the alleged cocaine use story before the reveals." "Either tomorrow or from the 11th (so next Monday) as everything is seemingly pushed back a week?" said another. "Probably from the 11th now would had heard something if the reveals were starting tomorrow," said another. Currently, rumoured additions include Doctor Who and ER's Alex Kingston, Down's Syndrome model Ellie Goldstein and England rugby ace Chris Robshaw. Dani Dyer is also believed to be heading onto the show, as is The Traitors winner Jake Brown. But ahead of this year's casting announcement, Strictly has already found themselves dealing with behind-the-scenes drama with two stars accused of taking cocaine while on the show.

"Bosses are aware of the two stars in question and have a duty of care to make sure they're OK. 'As per BBC policy, the option of specialised professional support is on the table and will be offered.' Execs are also considering adding random drugs tests on next year's Strictly tour — where after-parties are known for wild scenes.
