Default Adding a spur to a spur?

Due to awkward circumstances, I can't get under the floorboards to run a
spur from the ring main to behind a fridge/freezer (currently on 4-gang).
The nearest socket I've found is a spur itself unfortunately.

The current double socket is un-switched and only ever gets a hoover or
battery charger plugged in. The new sockets I'm putting in will only ever
have the fridge/freezer plugged in. Load wise, it's the same as it is now,
but using proper wiring instead of a 4-gang.

How safe or not is it to run a spur from this spur? My thinking is that it
might bridge the connection and not even work, not to mention be dangerous.
Comments? Options?
