Greggs has been spotted selling ice creams and lollies in one of its County Durham branches, as the brand rolls out a trial ahead of the summer.

Magnum, Solero and Twister ice lollies are being stocked at select Greggs stores as part of the nationwide test, with plans to expand the scheme to 250 shops across the summer.

The frozen treats were recently spotted by customers at the Byron Place branch in Seaham.
