The court was told the white powder in the Kinder egg was found to be a class B drug amphetamine, which Littlewood said was for his own personal use.

Littlewood admitted two charges of possessing Class A drugs with intent to supply.

The court Littlewood has 11 previous convictions for 17 offences, including possessing Class A drugs in 2016.

Anthony Sugare, mitigating, said: "It does seem to me he was an enthusiastic amateur rather than a professional."

Jailing Littlewood for two years and four months, Judge Tom Bayliss QC told him: "You are a street dealer. You were clearly motivated by financial advantage."
