A warning for all ice cream lovers!

Ice cream lovers could be facing a summer of despair.

As Cadbury announce there is a shortage of Flakes to go into the iconic 99.

It may not be the most pressing issue at the moment but it's another one to add to the list.

According to the BBC, suppliers are limiting the number of Flakes that ice cream sellers can get their hands on.

Which means fewer 99s with Flakes for us to enjoy.

This is the second summer in a row that there will be a shortage of Flakes.

Last year it was reportedly due to a huge surge in demand.

According to Cadburys parent company Mondelez, this year the problem is with 'global supply chain disruptions'.

The shortage couldn't have come at a worse time as the weather starts to pick up.

One shop in the UK has been limited to 10 boxes containing 144 Flakes each.

But on a scorcher of a day a shop could easily go through eight or nine boxes.

So if you're offered a Flake in your 99, you're one of the lucky ones.
