A bakery owner has responded to backlash for selling non-binary gingerbread people, claiming that they were never intended to 'upset or be offensive to anyone'.
The Cottage Bakery in Blackpool became the centre of a social media storm earlier this week when someone shared a picture of their gingerbread people on Facebook.
The post, which has now been shared more than 1,000 times, prompted a slew of criticism, with people branding the name 'ridiculous' and 'outrageous'.
