After being given a brief reprieve Lanarkshire's only Bodycare store shut up shop before the death knell sounded on the beauty chain today. ‌

The East Kilbride branch was included in a list of nine remaining Scottish stores to be kept open after the popular discount retailer plunged into administration. ‌

But joint administrators G.R. & M.M. Blackledge plc, trading as Bodycare, confirmed today it was "with regret" that a sale of the stores is now unlikely as a closure programme for the remaining 56 UK stores begins. ‌
