"Wish they would just leave Colin the caterpillar the way he was, tryna form a gang."

Colin the Caterpillar, the staple office birthday cake, has had a spooky makeover just in time for Halloween — and fans of the cult British favourite are taking their opinions to Twitter.

Marks & Spencer gave the cake a "ghoulish" new look, complete with red fangs and a milk chocolate dracula collar, drizzled in blood-like icing, and covered in sweets.

"Count Colin," the perfect accompaniment to your Halloween party this year, will set you back £7, while the mini chocolate roll versions are £2.

Here's what Colin looked like before.
