Leveraging the skills of renowned darts announcer Russ Bray and comedic celebrity impersonator Tim Oliver, fans have had the opportunity to record in-person sick notes with the stars to be sent straight to their boss, eliminating the need for them to make the call themselves.
Brits most likely to pull a sickie in December - often using a 'fake voice' to do it A survey of 2,000 adults revealed that six out of 10 people who phone in sick for work adopt a 'phony voice' to make their excuse more convincing.
Lorenzo Farronato, spokesperson for Fireball Whisky, which commissioned the study, commented: "Attitudes towards sick days vary as some regions are clearly more relaxed about taking time off.
The study also revealed that 38% of all adults spend their fake sick days sleeping, and a third use the time to be with friends and family.
The main reasons cited for taking a sick day in December include Christmas parties, late-night celebrations with loved ones and overall festive fatigue from excessive socialising.
