A high street beauty chain has said it will shut 32 shops and cut around 450 jobs after falling into administration.
Retailer Bodycare announced it had appointed administrators from Interpath Advisory on Friday afternoon.
It comes just weeks after bosses at the firm secured a £7 million debt facility as a short-term measure to avoid bankruptcy.
Bodycare, which sells toiletries, cosmetics, skincare products and fragrances, employs a total of 1,500 people and has 147 shops across the UK.
The business is currently owned by Baaj Capital, a family-run firm led by Jas Singh.
