Supermarket Aldi sold 55 million mince pies over a boozy Christmas which saw British shoppers spend record amounts at the German chain.

UK sales in the four weeks to December 24 topped £1 billion for the first time in the company's history, and marked a 7.9% rise on the same period in 2018, Aldi revealed.

As well as mince pies, Britons also bought 22 million pigs in blankets, and more than two million Christmas puddings.
