Supermarket giant Aldi has been forced to change the name of one of its products after a sexual assault victim complained when she saw "rape yellow" paint on the shelves.

The angry woman, who is in her 50s, became "choked up" after she spotted the quick-drying gloss on a special offer stand at a store in Coventry, West Mids.

Aldi insist the paint - which is on sale on their website for £4.99 - was named after rapeseed, a crop that is yellow in colour.

But the woman, who was out shopping with her son when she saw the offensive name, said she was "furious and upset".

The sexual assault victim, who can't be named for legal reasons, said: "I looked at the paint and thought it can't possibly say that, you have got to be kidding me, there's no way they would sell that.

"I started choking. I got straight out of there. I was furious and upset.

"I thought maybe I was being sensitive because of my situation, but I sent pictures to my friends and they were all shocked by it. They couldn't believe what I was saying.
