The figures come after the retailer outlined plans to continue opening new stores despite the pandemic accelerating the transition to online.

However, it added that the shift "presents challenges to the ongoing viability of certain store locations".

CEO Sanjay Vadera said: "Stores will always play a big role, offering expertise and a sensory experience that’s complementary to our online offer.

"But there’s no doubt our performance is powered by the investments we’ve made in digital as our customers choose how and when they shop with us on their terms.
