Mr Fletcher said it had been ‘very upsetting’ – but added that there was no evidence personal data had been taken.

Daylesford was founded by Carole Bamford, the wife of JCB boss Lord Bamford, in 2002. 

It now has three shops in London, an online store and a farm shop in Gloucestershire.

It is one of a growing number of companies offering high-end ready meals.

In eight months last year the Johnsons ate £27,000 worth of Daylesford food.
