If this advert did appear, I wonder if it was shown early in error. This would give us an indication that it will come to Freeview at some point (unless it's already on Freeview, I can't check as my aerial is out of action).
It sounds like it was the Freeview ad rather than Gold advertising its presence on Freeeview. But why would the Freeview ad addressing Freeview customers appear on Gold? Possibly just an error.

Indeed, it fits in quite nicely.
