According to documents filed with Companies House, buying, merchandising and brand director Leanne Holmes has also left.

The filings also show that long-time Mike Ashley associate Stephen Mucklow has become a director. His appointment comes after he was made a non-executive director of Studio Retail Group after Frasers Group acquired the Lancashire firm earlier this year.

In its most recently available set of accounts I Saw It First reported sales of almost £75m while its pre-tax losses totalled £7.7m.

The company became an official partner of hit ITV show Love Island in 2019 and, according to ITV, the deal helped it add a quarter of a million new customers. The brand says its customer base now stands at three million.

In May this year, Glasgow influencer Molly McFarlane was unveiled as the face behind a new bridal collection for the fashion label.
