After the first collaboration went on to be a smash-hit, Greggs and Primark are back with another fashion collection.
The budget fashion retailer and bakery chain are two of the best-loved brands in the UK, so it came as no surprise that news of them joining forces for a branded fashion collection full of trainers, t-shirts, socks, hoodies, boxers, and more would have gone down so well with fans when it hit shop shelves back in February.
But it turned out to be much more popular than most people expected.
Some of the products from the limited-edition "freshly-baked collab" not only sold out pretty much straight away, but shoppers even found items from the range to be listed on eBay for up to three times the original price.
Given the popularity of the first collection, it makes sense that the two brands would team up once again, and it's now been announced today that a new 21-piece collection is set to drop in all Primark stores nationwide from Friday 5 August.
This time round, the highly-anticipated collection will include bodysuits, bumbags, bucket hats, and even Croc dupe sling-back clogs.
If next Friday is just too long to wait though, keen fashion fans will able to get their hands on some of the items from the collection ahead of the official launch date, as a Greggs x Primark ‘Snackfest’ bus travels the UK this week and next.
Unfortunately, the bus not be making a visit to see us in Leeds though.
If you fancy hitting the road, the closest the bus will be stopping-off at is Manchester, with it parking up in Cathedral Gardens in the city centre this Friday 29 July from 11am-5pm.

Not only is the Snackfest bus bringing items from the collection, but it will also have live music, competitions, and even some special guest appearances too, so make sure to keep your eyes peeled, as the brands seem to be keeping their cards close to their chest.
Speaking ahead of the launch of the collection, Hannah Squirrell - Customer Director at Greggs - said: "The reaction to our first official Greggs clothing collection was incredible and sold out even faster than we anticipated.
"We’re excited to team up with Primark once again to deliver more fun and unique pieces that Greggs fans will wear with pride across the summer and beyond."
"I believe the best partnerships in fashion are those that are blindingly obvious but never boring or predictable," added Jermaine Lapwood - Head of Innovation and Future Trends at Primark.
"In a world of collaborations, it is important that we stand out and be different.
"As part of this drop, for the first time in Primark history we are taking the collection on the road and fans will be able to get early access to our own 'Snackfest' tour bus, which will pop up across the UK."

The 68-year-old was then placed into a medically induced coma but after a period of 'unresponsiveness', the difficult decision was made to stop life support.

Classic FM will be playing calming music for anxious pets this Bonfire Night

Classic FM will be back playing calming music for anxious pets during this year’s fireworks season.
Bonfire Night may be loved by us humans for the spectacular firework displays and all the festive-themed activities that come along with it… but sadly, the November holiday isn’t quite so fun for our four-legged friends.
Loud bangs, flashing lights, and unpleasant strong smell of spent explosives are just some of the reasons why fireworks are frightening to pets.
Not only that, but with multiple bangs occurring from numerous displays across this time of year, pets are rarely able to pinpoint when and where the booming explosions are coming from, therefore creating even more anxiety around this time of year.

Which is why, for the ninth year running now, Classic FM is once again teaming up with the RSPCA for two Pet Classics programmes packed with ‘the most soothing and comforting classical music’.
The music has been handpicked to help calm and settle any anxious pets.
A survey by the RSPCA revealed that almost two-thirds (63%) of animal owners reported their pet was distressed during fireworks season, and that playing relaxing music was the most common way (36%) to help calm or prepare their animal.
Presenters Dan Walker, Aled Jones, and Dawn O’Porter will each host a night of the specially created programme to help keep the nation’s pets calm through the whizzes and bangs.
Dan will present the first programme on Bonfire Night itself (Thursday 5 November), and then as celebrations continue throughout the weekend, Aled will be on hand to bring some peace to Friday 6 November, and Dawn picks up the baton on Saturday 7 November.
All three Pet Classics programmes will be broadcast from 5pm to 10pm, and you can listen on Classic FM or Global Player available across the UK.
