A total of 19% of adults have left their Christmas shopping until last minute, according to Sainsbury's credit cards.

Last-minute shoppers are expected to spend around £57 million an hour this Christmas eve, using payment methods such as debit and credit cards.

According to research from Sainsbury's credit cards, this is the equivalent of £951,000 per minute.

Around 7% of Christmas spending will take place on Christmas Eve.

In fact, 1.53 million people plan to do between 91% and 100% of their Christmas shopping then.

Around 18% of last-minute shopping will be put on credit cards.

Women are slightly less likely to leave their shopping until the last minute.

According to research from Barclaycard, less money will be spent in general this year on Christmas shopping than last.

However, spending this year at supermarkets and department stores has increased.
