A UK bakery is embroiled in a bitter battle over the use of illegal sprinkles.

Get Baked was ordered to temporarilly close after a surprise visit from the Trading Standards, which found the sprinkles are illegal in the UK, due to their food colouring.

It's suspected a customer dobbed them in, and the owner of Get Baked, Rich Myers, is making world headlines for his fury.

It's been called "Sprinklegate" by world media, but Myers calls it a "truly horrendous ordeal".

Myers spoke to Kim Hill.
