Credit: PA

All of Wilko's shops will now close, with the loss of over 10,000 jobs after a last-minute deal to rescue the chain collapsed.

All 400 branches will now be closed by the end of October, with a significant portion of them stopping trading in September.

Almost all of Wilko's 12,500 staff will be made redundant.

It comes as HMV owner Doug Putman pulled out of a rescue deal for the high street chainThe billionaire was understood to be in discussions with PwC, the administrator appointed to oversee the high street chain's insolvency, to save around 200 Wilko shops.

But in a statement Mr Putman said the deal was now dead as a "stable foundation could not be secured to ensure long-term success for the business and its people in the way that we would have wanted".
