The episode, which is set to air during the show's new season, is believed to have been in support of her lifestyle brand As ever, which sells jams, flower sprinkles, honey, shortbread mixes, and wine.

There has also been speculation that the brand will be launched in Australia soon, the first market outside of the US.
