COLIN the Caterpillar is the latest victim of the Marks & Spencer cyber attack, leaving one couple with no wedding cake.

Supplies of the 40-portion giant version of the choc-coated treat have been halted after the firm was hacked, shutting down website orders.

Bride-to-be Carly Gentry, 35, and groom Edward Church, 39, had snapped up two cakes — a personalised Colin and his pal Connie — for £50 each for their big day on May 10, but are now left in limbo.

With M&S website orders, which make £3.8million a day, offline for a week, the couple have no news on whether their cake will arrive.

Carly, of Kent, said: “It is stressful you don’t know ten days before you get married if you will be able to get a cake.

“It has messed our big day up and is causing stress.

“It is a cake I have always loved.

“I can’t understand why they cannot get us one.

“Their bakers are there. The ovens haven’t stopped.”

M&S is still battling to get systems online, with problems hitting food deliveries to stores and online orders.

The attack has been linked to hacking group Scattered Spider, which has hit large US firms.

M&S was asked to comment.
