Struggling budget chain Poundland has 825 stores in the UK , with around 16,000 staff.

Many of those shops are former Woolworths or Wilko branches, which Poundland hoovered up after the two brands collapsed.

Up to 100 stores are at risk of closure.

"I'm kind of in love with Poundland ." Additional reporting by Charlotte Edwards and Tom Espiner .
