The retailer, which recently entered administration, said it will only reopen 120 stores after a series of closures, having entered the lockdown with 142 stores.

It said it will open three stores in Northern Ireland on June 8, with its two other sites in the region opening shortly after.

It will then reopen 50 stores in England on June 15, including its outlet in Blackpool's Houndshill centre, with the remaining stores following later in the week.
