The message of goodwill to all for Christmas seems to have gone awry in an embarrassing gaffe on the Marks and Spencer website.

Shoppers have tonight spotted that if you are looking for bargain Christmas tree decorations on the high street giant's website, you might be a little shocked at the less than festive message.

Its three-for-two offers include Red Glitter letters at £1 a pop amongst many other Xmas decorations.

But by selecting Price Low to High, halfway down the screen the letters match up to read F, C, K, M and E, with the U hovering uncomfortably in the row above.

The gaffe has already started going viral on Twitter.

Not sure that the web designer at @marksandspencer was happy to do the Xmas page in July! #noordinaryswearymessage pic.twitter.com/uIUtAC7OJp — Nicola Young (@angel_nix) October 17, 2015
