TV and radio star Kate Lawler has been left angered at the price of a loaf in London after paying almost £9 for 12 slices. The 44-year-old ex-Big Brother star blasted the cost of her sourdough in an Instagram rant saying the baker should have had a black and white striped jumper and an eye mask.

Fans urged her to go to Aldi instead as she fumed: “What in Paul Hollywood’s name Is going on in London? I’ve just paid £8.82 for a loaf of sourdough. Eight pounds and eighty-two pence for one loaf of bread.

“Let me show you. It smells lovely and I appreciate that sourdough takes a long time to bake. Yeah, it’s a big old loaf. But 12 slices of bread for £8.82.

“The guys are robbing b*stards. He should have had a black and white stripy jumper on. A black eye mask and a swag bag over his shoulder. I feel like I’ve had my pants pulled down. Shocking scenes in London.”

She added: “I’ve definitely had better sourdough. Do you want to know what really got me? I used Apple Pay and before I tapped it said ‘Do you want to leave a tip?’ “I tapped no tip.

“And then I had the audacity to feel stingy. What’s going on in the world?”

She didn’t name the bakery she bought it from. Fans were quick to back her .

One said: “It's the ‘leave a tip’ part for me, a tip for what?” Jo said: “£8.82 is such a random number, like it just plucked out the air.”

Another user said: “73p a slice. You was robbed. One user quipped: “Get yourself to Aldi. None of this artisan nonsense that'll cost you £8.82.”

Another added: “Is it laced with gold?”
