Featuring chocolate sauce, milk chocolate shavings and milk chocolate coated digestive biscuit pieces, those on the hunt for the Digestives ice cream will need to be on the lookout for a brown and cream coloured tub with a blue lid, reports the Mirror. Whereas for those looking for the Hobnobs ice cream, this tub features a bright orange design with a blue lid. This delicious treat includes oat biscuit flavoured ice cream, oat biscuit and shortbread pieces with a golden syrup sauce.

However, shoppers should be aware that these new flavours won't be available in every Iceland store, so they may need to go on the hunt if they want to give their personal opinion on the products. One person commented: "Literally looked at two different Icelands and still can't find these."

This is finished off with a swirl of tangy orange sauce and a smooth milk chocolate. Benazir Barlet-Batada, marketing director at McVitie's, said: "We're thrilled to see our iconic biscuits and cakes reimagined for the freezer aisle - especially with the ice cream tubs landing just in time for the August sunshine. "From the crunch of Hobnobs to the unmistakable spongey zing of a Jaffa Cake, this range captures the essence of McVitie's in every bite.
