I went to Primark for winter essentials – scarves are up by £2 from last year and I was stunned by expensive coats

"I've got five of these [shopping] bags and they're all full to the brim", she said.

"All the autumn/winter stuff is now in, finally. All the jumpers, the coats, the jackets the scarfs.

"This is my time of year, my favourite type of clothes. So I went a bit crazy and pretty much bought everything."

Ellie - the childhood sweetheart of Celtic's Liam Shaw, currently on loan at Wigan Athletic - picked up a cardigan, black jeans, two jumpers, teddy bag, socks, suit trousers and a waistcoat.

But when it came to the jackets she couldn't help but notice that prices have gone up.

She said: “[This khaki trench] is £35 so a little bit expensive for Primark, but it is really nice quality.

"You're looking at up to £100 in H&M for a nice one and I would be happy with this quality."

Turning to a faux leather black puffer jacket, she added: “This was £32 pounds so again a little bit pricey for Primark."

"[This leather look trench] was £40, so again expensive but if this was in Zara I'd probably be about £80 -90 because it is so heavy."

And grabbing a neutral teddy fleece, she admitted: "£28, again pricey but I'm guessing they have just upped the prices.

"But I feel like they've upped the quality as well."
