To save you all a click. It doesn't directly say just:

But Ms Wadin, 74, said her dad “was disgusted with how small it is now and how much they charge for it,” adding: "He'd roll over in his grave if he could see it now; he'd be disgusted. It was a penny chocolate.

"Since Dad died, I haven't bought a Freddo," she told Sky News.
