See huge queue outside Newcastle's Primark as shoppers rush to buy Greggs clothing range

Eager shoppers lined up outside of Newcastle's Primark early on Tuesday morning to get their hands on the second batch of the Greggs clothing collection.

The Greggs x Primark collaboration proved to be so popular that it sold out within hours of it going on sale in Newcastle on Saturday morning.

Hoodies, joggers and T-shirts with Greggs branding were snapped up by shoppers, with a reversible bucket hat among the most popular items.

Newcastle Primark staff had promised that a second delivery of the Greggs range would be arriving on Tuesday, February 22 for disappointed customers who missed out the first time round, and they certainly didn't disappoint.

Dozens of shoppers waited outside of the Northumberland Street store from as early as 7.30am to be among the first to bag the Greggs collection when the shop opened at 8am.

As soon as the shutters were lifted a stream of keen customers rushed into the shop, with many eager to buy the highly-anticipated Greggs trainers which were not available during Saturday's launch.

Shopper Katie Carnegie, 18, was among them as she returned to Primark for a second time to see what else she could get.

"We are at Primark in Newcastle because they are getting a shipment of Greggs clothes," she said.

"I am here to get the bucket hat and trainers because they didn't have any when I came last time, because I came too late, so we are here early to get them.

"I am very excited about it, I am over the moon."

Jenny Bennett, 18, said she wanted to buy the whole collection because she was a huge Greggs fan.

"We have been waiting half an hour for the shop to open," she said.

"I am just going to get everything, I want all the clothes because I am obsessed with Greggs - it's actually a problem!

"I love a sausage, bean and cheese melt."
