The company has also said in the previous week that its new-in offer was helping to drive traffic and turnover.

On Tuesday it said it sold £72.55m worth of goods in total in the latest week, a 3.7% rise. But the fashion directory rose a higher 5.5%. Within that, womenswear was up by a strong 11.4% with menswear advancing 3.8%.

Home was up too but the 1.9% rise was slower than in Fashion, although textiles and carpets managed a 3.9% increase and furniture increased by 2.3%.

In Technology, communications tech had a good week at the retailer, with Apple and Microsoft products helping the category to post a 4.3% increase.
