Wilko has collapsed into administration after talks to secure a rescue deal failed.
Around 12,500 jobs at the budget homeware, garden and household goods retailer are now at risk, with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) handling the administration for the high street chain, of which there are 400 stores.
Joint administrator Zelf Hussain said stores will 'continue to trade as normal for the time being and staff will continue to be paid'. Customers are still able to shop via the website with click & collect, but home delivery is not available.
