The UK's biggest supermarket is now joining the ranks of the online clothes sellers, in a four-week trial.

It will sell 100 clothing lines at the same prices as it sells the items in-store, plus postage and packing.

Analysts had been expecting Tesco to keep out of the online clothing market until after Christmas.

But a spokesman told The Independent:

"Around 10,000 people a week already visit our clothing website to check availability in stores and to view products, so we know the interest is there.

"We'll see how it goes before making decisions on taking it further."
