Announcing their decision to step back from styling, they said their 50 years in the business had been "fabulous, fantastic and flamboyant".

They said the secret to their success was "treating everyone the same... from billionaires to bingo players".

They are yet to decide on their next step but said: "One thing's for sure - it won't be dull and boring."
