The winner will be announced at the BRC's glamorous Retail Annual Dinner on 21 September, in front of 1,300 guests including Government ministers, MPs and the country's top retailers.

BRC Director General, Kevin Hawkins, says: "This year's short list is an exciting mix of those who demonstrate a special passion for retail through fashion, those that show a passion through spending money and the likes of Jamie Oliver who has a massive impact on the food we buy.

"It will be very interesting to see who the public crown Celebrity Shopper of the Year for 2005 as there are some very popular and influential names on the list. Trinny and Susannah who clinched the 2004 award have secured a place for second year running for their influence and enthusiasm on what we should wear, or shouldn't wear. The Beckham's also stand a good chance along with Colleen McLoughlin, nicknamed 'the Queen of Chav style'."
