'I feel like I've had my pants pulled down,' raged Kate on Instagram

TV and radio personality Kate Lawler has expressed her outrage over the cost of a loaf of bread in London, having shelled out nearly £9 for 12 slices. The 44 year old former Big Brother contestant took to Instagram to vent about the price of her sourdough, suggesting that the baker should have been wearing a black and white striped jumper and an eye mask.

She raged: "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."

Fuming, she continued: "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. 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?"

While she didn't disclose the name of the bakery where she made the purchase, her fans were quick to support her. One follower commented: "It's the 'leave a tip' part for me, a tip for what? " Another chimed in with: "£8.82 is such a random number, like it just plucked out the air." A further fan advised: "Get yourself to Aldi. None of this artisan nonsense that'll cost you £8.82."
