IT’S the tan that’s taken the internet by storm – but is the viral Lidl tanning mousse really worth the hype?
According to one beauty buff, the answer is yes.
The discount supermarket sent shoppers into a frenzy after launching their very own fake tan just in time for summer – and compared to cult favourites, Lidl’s Marbella Glow is significantly cheaper.
While other viral brands retail around the £10 mark, the German store’s version costs just £4.49.
Thrifty beauty buffs can choose the vegan-friendly tan in three shades – Medium, Extra Dark and Ultra Dark.
Bargain-mad TikToker, only known as @kittsandpieces on the platform, went for the latter option, sharing her honest thoughts online.
The PhD student, who dubbed herself a ”pale girlie”, started the process by showering and ensuring her skin was moisturised before applying the bronzing mousse.
To ensure the tan doesn’t stick to particularly dry areas, such as elbows and knees, the blonde stunner used Ultra-Repairing Soothing Balm by La Roche-Posay.
The balm, which she claimed was ”a game-changer”, is currently on offer on Amazon for around £8, and for best results, the TikToker left it on for 20 to 30 minutes before applying the tan.
After covering herself in the dark mousse, the Lidl shopper was pleasantly surprised at how quickly the tan dried.
Raving about the wallet-friendly buy, she said in the video: ”No sticky feeling going to bed and no bad tan smell either.”
The following morning, the TikToker hopped into the shower, rinsed off the tan and was amazed by the results.
Sporting a gorgeous glow which made her look like as if she’s just returned from a sunny holiday, the student said: ”10/10 for me.”
The best part? According to the shopper, the sun-kissed glow lasts almost a week too.
”I find I get a solid 4/5 days out of it with showers and all, it’s even survived my swimming.”
FINDING the perfect fake tan isn’t easy. That's why Fabulous tested a number of fake tans which cost less than £10..

Another chimed in: ”it does smell, lovely red undertone, doesn’t last long.”
Someone else said: ”I did it today and planing to wash it in the morning.

COMMUTERS on the M6 motorway this morning faced major delays following a crash on the busy route.
And those planning to travel on the Bus Eireann have been warned to stay alert as several services have been cancelled.
Transport Infrastructure Ireland reported that a single vehicle collision occurred on the M6 westbound between Athlone Service Area and J8 Athlone East, affecting Lane 2.
Local emergency services have been alerted and rushed to the scene.
Motorists are urged to drive with “caution and reduce speed” when approaching the hazard area and they are encouraged to “obey instructions” from emergency services.
They warned motorists that “delays to your journey will occur” and asked them to consider a different journey route or start time.
Transport Infrastructure Ireland also reported that there was a collision on the M7 Westbound between J12 Newbridge and J13 Kildare.
The road was closed, and diversions were put in place at J12.
However, the incident was cleared an hour later and the road has since reopened to all motorists.
Lastly, they reported that there’s only traffic congestion being experienced on the M50 Northbound between J9 and J6.
No delays currently on routes approaching Dublin.
Outside the capital, the traffic is relatively light with no reported congestion or traffic flow disruption.
Cork motorists were warned that the southbound Jack Lynch Tunnel is experiencing delays due to a breakdown of a heavy goods vehicle.
The right lane is affected and remains closed at the moment.
Drivers are urged to “drive with caution and reduce your speed”.
Meanwhile, Bus Eireann has cancelled three busy services and suffered travel delays this morning, apologising for the “inconvenience” caused to passengers.
The affected service are:
The 8am Cork to Dublin service on Route 245X has been delayed by approximately 30 minutes, while the 7:20am Castletownbere to Cork service on Route 236 has been delayed by 45 minutes due to an accident.
A spokesperson said: “Bus Eireann apologises any inconvenience caused.”
TORVILL and Dean performed together for the final time last night as they wrapped up their farewell tour in their hometown of Nottingham.
Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean last year announced plans to retire 40 years after their gold-winning 1984 Bolero routine at the 1984 Winter Games.
And following their last time skating together, Christopher, 66, said: “The performance went well and the audience were amazing and so, for us, to be able to bow out on a high like that was wonderful.”
Opening up about performing in his hometown, he continued: “These last four performances here in Nottingham, the early ones were quite emotional and I think I sort of got that out of me, and tonight, it was a high.”
Jayne, 67, added: “I think we’ll miss it.
“When you’ve done all these shows like this, and you’re suddenly home, not doing anything, you miss that adrenaline rush and you miss the excitement of being on the ice, whether it’s a practice session or a performance.”
The duo were coaches on Dancing On Ice from 2006 until it ended the first time around in 2014.
When the ITV show returned in 2018, they became head judges on the panel alongside Ashley Banjo and Oti Mabuse.
It was confirmed in March that Dancing On Ice had been shelved with no plans for a new series.
An ITV Spokesperson said: “Following another successful series earlier this year, Dancing On Ice will be rested in 2026 with no current plans for another series.
“We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the cast and crew who have worked on the show since 2006, and over the previous 17 series, for all of their hard work both on and off the ice.”
Former Dancing On Ice pro Alex Murphy suggested Torvill and Dean’s plans to retire might have had something to do with the show being axed.
She told The Sun: “Torvill and Dean are national treasures. They are fantastic people, and the most iconic skaters in the skating world as a whole, not just England, and I think Britain sometimes doesn’t recognise that, or even notice that they are iconic to the world.
“So it’s their show. I just love that. It’s their show. So whenever they’re ready, I think, then that’s when it will go.”
ELMO’S X account was hacked as a string of antisemitic posts were pumped out on the platform.
The vile slurs surfaced on Sunday before being swiftly deleted.
Elmo’s X account has existed since November 2012 and the iconic puppet has more than 640,000 followers on the platform.
There was a flurry of antisemitic rants and one post criticized Donald Trump, tagging the president’s X account.
A Sesame Workshop spokesperson confirmed that the account had fallen victim to a hack attack.
It slammed the type of content that was shared, branding it “disgusting.”
“We are working to restore full control of the account,” the spokesperson told The Daily Beast.
The posts have been deleted, but some X users took screenshots of the tirades and shared images underneath the most-recent post uploaded to Elmo’s account.
A picture of Elmo and his furry pal Tango was shared on July 12.
“Elmo is so lucky to have a furry friend like you!” it said.
X users have wasted no time in quizzing the account about the tirades that were shared.
“Are we just gonna act like nothing happened Elmo?” one posted.
Scores of social media users are talking about how Elmo’s account was hacked.
Elmo’s account fell victim to the hack – just months after an open to work post appeared on a LinkedIn account purporting to be the character.
The social media post surfaced after Trump signed an executive order targeting outlets such as PBS.
Sesame Street has been aired on PBS since 1969.
“Elmo worked at Sesame Street for 45 years,” the post said.
“Elmo is sad. Elmo loved his time at Sesame Street.”
In the post, the puppet paid tribute to his pals Cookie Monster and Big Bird.
It then said the character was open to his next career move.
“Elmo is good at so many things,” it said.
“Like hugs. Elmo loves giving hugs.”
A screenshot of the LinkedIn post went viral, but a Sesame Workshop spokesperson told Variety it was fake.
Elmo first appeared on Sesame Street in 1980 where he appeared as a background character.
He has been a permanent fixture on the children’s show since 1985.
PSG boss Luis Enrique has explained why he slapped Joao Pedro after Chelsea’s Club World Cup triumph.
A mass brawl broke out following the 3-0 win, which also included clashes between goalscorers Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro, and PSG’s Fabian Ruiz.
Tempers flared and reached boiling point at the final whistle, with players pushing and shoving.
Both managers got involved after Achraf Hakimi, Andrey Santos and Christopher Nkunku were caught up in the melee.
Pedro confronted boss Enrique who reacted furiously, appearing to slap the Brazilian.
PSG keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma followed up with a push and Pedro fell to the ground.
Enrique has since claimed he was trying to defuse the situation, with his opposite number Enzo Maresca actually ushering his players away.
The PSG boss explained his actions, saying: “At the end of the game there is a situation that I believe is totally avoidable by everyone.
“My goal and intention, as always, is to try to separate the players so that there are no more problems. Avoidable situation.
“There is a lot of tension, a lot, a lot of pressure and from there, there is a series of pushes by many people that I think we should all avoid and that should not happen again.

“But I repeat, my intention as always, to avoid any situation that goes further.”
The incident came after PSG midfielder Joao Neves lost his cool and pulled Marc Cucurella’s hair, resulting in a red card in the 85th minute.
LOVE Island fans have threatened to call Ofcom after Meg erupted at Andrada last night.
Viewers have branded Meg the “ultimate mean girl” after she laid into Andrada when she eavesdropped on her and Dejon’s conversation.
Meg found out that Andrada told the girls to be quiet so that she could listen, promoting Meg to confront her on the staircase.
She raged: “Andrada don’t be in here saying shush to hear my conversation with D.”
Andrada replied: “Pipe down, who do you think you’re shouting at?
“What’s wrong with you?”
“What’s right with you?” Meg fired back as she got up in her face.
The pair continued to argue in the bedroom, with Andrada blaming Meg’s foul mood on her insecurities in her relationship with Dejon.
Meg furiously denied this and said she and Dejon were “good”.
But those watching at home have hit out at Meg for her behaviour – and have called on bosses to axe her.
One wrote: “Do you think if we make enough complaints to Ofcom about Meg getting in Andrada’s face they’ll kick her out for us?”
A second posted: “The producers of Love Island and ITV can mis-edit all they want. Meg and Dejon are not winning this show and Meg is the ultimate mean girl. The fact she’s got away with bullying all those girls is a disgrace and I hope Ofcom is bombarded.”
A third said: “Meg reminds me of the girls who would bully you in high school while her little sidekick bestie that she secretly hates and popular footballer boyfriend laugh along side. scary!”
“Meg is sour… and thinks now she can bully people,” a fourth wrote.
Someone else commented: ” I don’t feel sympathy for Meg at all, she’s a nasty bully but also being with Dejon for 5 weeks really would make you bat****.”
Another demanded: “Meg possesses all of the qualities of a secondary school bully need her out the villa expeditiously.”
Earlier that night, Meg and Dejon clashed as they discussed what was shown on Movie Night.
Dejon grew close to Andrada in Casa Amor, calling her “babygirl” and saying she was the “best bombshell” they’d had.
By the Firepit, Meg shared her disappointment with Dejon: “You’re playing a game D, and I’m not playing it with you.”
Dejon told Meg: “I’m done with this conversation,” and abruptly walked off.
He then brutally told her that he could “take it all back”, referring to their exclusivity after he “closed off” their relationship days ago.
TELLY’S most tantrum-filled talent show is back! Dance Moms: A New Era brings you more mama drama, big bust-ups – and a tough new coach training tomorrow’s stars.
The original Dance Moms quickly won an army of fans when it launched in 2011.
Child dancers fiercely competed to impress hard-to-please teacher Abby Lee Miller (top) and claim their spot at the top of her infamous points pyramid.
This first series made superstars of students like Jojo Siwa and Maddie Ziegler.
It also thrust the super-protective mums into the spotlight as they schemed against each other and rowed with Abby, who ruled her dance studio with an iron fist.
Expect more twists, turns, tempers and dazzling performances in Dance Moms: A New Era, with nine episodes now streaming on Channel 4.
Abby Lee’s replacement Glo Hampton battles to take her young charges and her dance school Studio Bleu in Virginia, USA, to the next level – entering them for national competitions each week.
Rivalries have sprung up right from the start. In the first episode, one of the students, 13-year-old dance prodigy Audrey, is meant to help fellow student Mina nail some tricky moves during a lunch break.
Instead she chooses TikTok over teamwork, scrolling on her phone instead of supporting Mina, eight – which has the mums complaining.
Audrey’s decision goes down especially badly with Mina’s mum, Min – cue the fireworks!
Min and the other mums waste no time tearing into Audrey’s mother, Tammi, questioning her daughter’s leadership ability.
But Audrey and Tammi fight back, telling the mums that a child shouldn’t be shouldering responsibility for the rest of the team.
So tension is already bubbling, and the drama is just getting started!
As fans celebrate the excitement of this new chapter, we look back at some of the unforgettable moments from the original Dance Moms that thrilled millions.
When the drama gets too much, sometimes you just need to escape.
And for coach Abby Lee Miller, that meant going straight to a police station.
After rival dance studio owner Tammy Croftcheck confronted her for being on her phone during a student’s competition performance, Abby decided she’d had enough.
In an inevitably dramatic exit, she declared: “I’m gonna go to Baskin Robbins!”
But ice cream wasn’t on the menu. Instead Abby went to the police, and afterwards claimed she’d filed a complaint against Tammy.
Fans adore JoJo Siwa for her high-energy pop songs and her loved-up romance with reality hunk Chris Hughes. But let’s not forget where it all started – Dance Moms!
She burst onto the scene with her killer dance moves, glittery outfits and sharp comebacks.
Aged just 11, she even faced off against the queen of drama herself, Abby Lee Miller.
Abby clashed with JoJo and her mum, Jessalyn, after JoJo was ranked low on the pyramid for scoring fifth place in that week’s competition.
Abby blamed the position on JoJo not getting into her possessed character enough as JoJo refused to watch a scary movie to avoid nightmares.
Jessalyn continued to defend JoJo but things escalated when Abby removed JoJo from the pyramid, declaring she “deserves nothing” and criticising her tears saying, “You can’t stand there and cry.”
JoJo, never one to back down, hit back with her iconic line: “If you yell at me, I’m gonna cry,” which resulted in her being kicked out of the dance studio.
However, after a quick chat with her mum, JoJo showed her maturity by returning to apologise, proving she was the bigger person in the end. Classic JoJo drama with a touch of heart!
The first Dance Moms was packed with explosive moments, but Season 4, Episode 7 – Big Trouble in the Big Apple – delivered one of the most jaw-dropping showdowns.
Dance mom Kelly Hyland felt Abby showed favouritism towards other dancers instead of her daughters Brooke and Paig.
So during a competition in New York, she decided to tackle the issue head on with Abby in the dressing room.
Things quickly spiralled out of control during the explosive clash. Kelly pointed her finger in Abby’s face, and the coach started making biting gestures.
Next Kelly pulled Abby’s hair, and the girl dancers were left in tears. Afterwards Kelly and her daughters quit the show for good.
The drama was next level, but Dance Moms also gave us plenty of dazzling performances that amazed fans.
Among them was Maddie Ziegler’s unforgettable contemporary solo, Cry, which helped catapult her to stardom and made her a household name.
A tearjerking moment came with JoJo Siwa’s stunning dance, Faith Is All I Need, a heartfelt tribute to her grandmother Kathy, who had cancer.
These standout dances prove it wasn’t just the drama keeping us hooked – the talent was right up there too!

CONOR McGregor’s fiancee Dee Devlin has spoken out after the former UFC champion was pictured kissing a mystery woman.
In yet another scandal for the Irishman, the pair were sighted packing on the PDA in full sight of other beachgoers.
Today, McGregor’s long-time fiancee shared a post on her Instagram story from a fan account which read: “Happy Birthday to the person who always keeps Dee entertained and makes her smile.”
Putting on a united front, she posted a series of photos of them beaming together.
McGregor has been engaged to Dee Devlin since 2020, and they share four children together.
His partner of 16 years loyally stood by his side, even when he was accused of “brutally raping and battering” a woman.
The pair boast a glam life on social media, posting smiling snaps of each other and their kids in matching outfits.
The family live in a £2.5million home in Kildare, a 40-minute drive from Dublin.
They take holidays in Marbella, where they have a £1.3million villa in the exclusive gated The Heights set on the La Resina country club estate.
Their first born was son Conor Jr, who regularly appears on his dad’s Instagram page.
They have a daughter, Croia, and a second son named Rian.
In 2023, they welcomed a third boy they called Mack.
Last year, when McGregor left the High Court in Dublin when he was found liable of assaulting a woman, he was flanked by his loyal fiancée.
Devlin left court with him after a civil trial heard how McGregor, 36, was accused of “brutally raping and battering” Nikki Hand in a penthouse at the Beacon Hotel in south Dublin in 2018.
The MMA fighter said he had consensual sex with Hand, but the jury decided in her favour – with the court awarding the accuser damages of just over £200,000.
In a statement on social media, he wrote: “People want to hear from me, I needed time. I know I made mistakes.
“I should never have stepped out on the woman I love the most in the world. That’s all on me.
“I have instructed my legal team to appeal the decision.
“I can’t go back and I will move forward. I am beyond grateful to my family, friends and supporters all over the world who have stayed by my side.
“That’s it. No more. Getting back to the gym – the fight game awaits!”
Devlin wrote on social media afterwards: “My man and I have created a beautiful life together. I love him I trust him and I BELIEVE HIM!
“Our four beautiful children whose smiling faces and happy hearts are testimony to the man he is and who we are!
“No one is entitled to comment on our relationship – we trust one another and love one another.
“Nothing or nobody will change that. Our family stands strong!”
She seems to be staying loyal to her partner, even after he packed on the PDA with another woman.
Yesterday, The Sun reported that the former two-division UFC champion – who hasn’t fought in nearly four years – cozied up with a dark-haired woman.
He then laid down a towel for the woman and wrapped an arm around her shoulders in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The Irishman seemed to lap up the attention of other female beachgoers around him.
A man has been found dead, hanging from a tree in dense mangroves near Bang Duk Pier in Mai Khao, Phuket, sparking a police probe into whether the tragedy was suicide or something more sinister.
