As she chatted to Conservative supporters at Scotch Bakery in Fleetwood, Mrs May said: "My Saturday job at school was in a bakery."

"I've learnt something today," she added. "I'd never heard of Chorley cake before."

One supporter told the Prime Minister one of his "biggest worries" was about the impact of Brexit on exports and the food industry.

Mrs May said: "We make fantastic products here and the opportunity is now to really go out there and sell those and be a bit bold and brash about how good we are.
