The Italian owner of the Ferrero Rocher and Kinder brands has been expanding in recent years, buying Nestle's confectionery business and several other food firms.

The UK confectionery market continues to grow steadily, and is worth about £14.8bn, despite it having a high proportion of UPF products.

Just how big, though, is the colossal confectionery?

A little boy, who has earned the nickname "Sweet Tub Teddy" after saving thousands of confectionery tubs from landfill, has been gifted a bench made from his recycled plastic tubs.

Teddy has collected more than 2,500 plastic confectionery tubs because he does not want them to end up in landfill.
