Earlier this year, Victoria’s Secret was ranked one of the largest international brands in the UK.

The retailer already has more than four stores across intu centres, and has now chosen to join prominent brands including Boss and Guess at the region's biggest shopping centre.

Kate Grant, regional managing director for intu, said: “We’re delighted that Victoria’s Secret has chosen to expand their UK presence at intu Metrocentre, taking advantage of our 21 million annual footfall.

"It's the latest brand to be attracted by the combination of affluent style-conscious shoppers with an eye for premium brands.”
