Shoppers thank M&S for releasing 'delicious' new item at a time when everyone needs 'cheering up'

M&S shoppers are praising the brand for releasing a "delicious" new food product at a time when many people need "cheering up".

This week, the Government released a new covid alert level system and warned other lockdown measures across the country could be in place for up to six months.

Marks & Spencer has kept its customers updated with all of its latest items through its Facebook and Instagram feeds and recently shared an image of its 'magical pumpkin-shaped bloomer' bread.

Released ahead of Halloween, its post has now received more than 1,800 comments, around 4,000 likes and more than 500 shares.

M&S suggested customers could either eat it how it is or hallow out the middle and pour soup into it.

Among the almost 2,000 comments, one user said: "This looks delicious and reminds me of the soup club in the beginning! This would be the ultimate soup bread, edible bowl."

Another said: "Looks yummy, will have to try this"

A third added: "They look delicious"
