Libbie May Fitzpatrick took to her TikTok page to share a video of her latest bargain find and is encouraging others to grab it before it sells out.

She says: “If you love Jo Malone Pomegranate, you need to get down to Morrisons.

“This massive diffuser is only £3, and it smells absolutely amazing.”

The diffuser Libbie is referring to is the Grenade Pomegranate Diffuser de Parfum by Georges Rech Paris, which comes in a 180ml bottle.

By comparison, the Jo Malone diffuser, which she claims smells similar, is priced at £74 for a 165ml bottle.

That’s not the only thing shoppers are going mad for when it comes to shopping at Morrisons. 

We previously revealed that thanks to a new ‘middle aisle’ in stores, you’ll find everything from affordable kitchen items to luxurious hair tools.

One savvy shopper was delighted to discover the extensive range of affordable finds and took to social media to share the news.

Posting on BARGAIN LOVERS Poundland, Home Bargains, B&M, Primark, The Range & More, a public Facebook group boasting 719,900 members, Felicity Greenwood shared a post originally uploaded by Money Saving Mama UK, leaving many shoppers stunned.

Sharing snaps of the wallet-friendly finds – which range from air fryers and vacuum cleaners to hair straighteners, cosy slippers, and snug blankets – the savvy shopper exclaimed: “Morrisons ‘middle aisle’ – and there are some absolute bargains!”

You can bag the Kenwood Twin Air Fryer for just £60, down from £100, saving you £40.

There’s also the Jonas two-in-one vacuum cleaner priced at an affordable £40.

ZARA McDermott has shown her ex Sam Thompson what he’s missing after jetting to Thailand for a month-long break.

The former Love Island star, 28, has filmed herself in a tiny, skintight crop top while sitting on her hotel bed.

Newly-single Zara recorded a video of herself trying Thai snacks[/caption]

Zara had popped to the local convenience store to pick up some Thai snacks and shot a TikTok as she tried them.

But although the food makes for interesting viewing, fans – and Zara’s ex Sam – are likely to be distracted by her busty display.

With her long blonde hair flowing around her shoulders, Zara sat crossed-legged in her pyjama bottoms and revealed her current location as she started her video.

She said: “To be honest, I have not slept in two days because I was travelling here to Thailand. And I feel like I’m in a dream right now, that’s how tired I am.

“But I managed to get the energy to go over to 7-Eleven and I picked myself up some stuff. So, let’s do a haul.”

Zara rummaged through her shopping bag and tried everything from salted egg crips, to freeze-dried kiwi and mango sticky rice.

The newly-single star told her followers that Pandan Chiffon Cake was her favourite, saying: “For me, this wins. If you know me, you know I love cake. Like, cake is my thing.

“I’m obsessed with cake. Anything cake, cream… and this is a delightfully, spongey level of amazingness.”

Zara went on to reveal she is in Thailand for a month before asking for more food and snack recommendations.

The Sun revealed at the beginning of January that Zara and her TV star boyfriend Sam had called it quits after five years.

It emerged that the couple had spent Christmas apart before Zara moved out of the home they shared in London.

Made In Chelsea star Sam was later accused of “throwing Zara under the bus” after he’d made a sly dig on Christmas Day before deleting it.

He had written: “Bit of a different Christmas this year… What could have been another standard Christmas has turned out to be one that I’ll never forget!”

At the time, Zara had replied with a love heart and kisses, writing: “So proud of you, it’s so lovely that you chose to give up your Christmas Day to help others.”

Speaking later on his Staying Relevant podcast with Pete Wicks, Sam went on to say: “It was tough. It’s been a tough month. A real tough month.

“I did charity on Christmas Day. Well, I was alone so I thought..”

Pete added: “My favourite message from you was when I asked, ‘How was your Christmas’ and you replied, ‘It was like being in a Christmas tomb’.”

Sources close to the couple claim Sam’s change of tone about the day while addressing the split on his podcast was a dig at Zara.

An insider told The Sun: “Sam said he didn’t want to say much because ‘it wasn’t fair on other parties’, but cleverly managed to throw Zara under the bus anyway.

“Everyone knew they were meant to be spending Christmas together, but when they realised the relationship was unsalvageable, Sam ended up alone.

“They hadn’t announced their split yet and both needed time to work through their emotions, but Zara made the effort to send him a sweet message publicly to acknowledge his charity work.

“However, now Sam has opened up about what really happened, he’s shown Zara out to be in a bad light.”

AWKWARD SCENES

Meanwhile, despite their split, Zara and Sam appeared on an episode of Michael McIntyre’s Big Show.

Recorded before they split, the then-couple took part in the comedian’s Midnight Game Show and it aired on BBC One two weeks ago.

Zara chose not to shy away from the awkward scenes and instead shared a clip of their time on the show on her Instagram stories.

She did not tag her ex in the post, but urged fans to tune in and said: “We literally thought we were being burgled!”

THREE judges who oversaw tragic Sara Sharif’s care proceedings before she was handed over to her killer dad can today be named for the first time after a press freedom win.

HHJ Alison Raeside presided over the majority of hearings, including a final one in 2019 when she decided the little girl should live with Urfan Sharif and step-mum Beinash Batool.

She said at the time “I am going to hope for the best”.

Retired judges Sally Williams and Peter Nathan also made an interim care order and emergency protection order respectively.

It comes after The Sun helped win a huge press freedom victory by successfully appealing a ruling which banned us from naming them.

None of the three judges originally asked to be anonymous, but Mr Justice Williams said in a shocking ruling last month that the press could not be trusted with their identities.

Last week, the Court of Appeal said he was wrong to make the ruling and let us name the three for the first time today.

Judge Raeside, who revealed in a podcast she never wanted to do family law originally, was involved in Sara’s care proceedings shortly after she was born.

In 2019, the decision was made that she would live with Sharif and Batool, which birth mum Olga agreed to.

HHJ Nathan made an emergency protection order in November 2014, putting Sara and a sibling in foster care after the sibling was seen with a bite mark in school.

Sara was later found with bite marks when she died.

HHJ Williams made an interim care order in July 2015 putting Sara and a sibling in foster care.

That decision was made after Urfan broke rules by seeing the children unsupervised.

She was later put in mum Olga’s care before moving back to Urfan in 2019.

Olga previously claimed he told a string of lies to social workers to get the little girl back.

Mum-of-four Raeside became a lawyer in 1982. She became a district judge in 2000, was appointed to the circuit bench in 2011, specialising in family law, and from 2019 to 2024 was the designated family judge for Surrey.

Other cases she has been involved in include letting a girl live with her dad in 2020 after she began attacking a “doll daddy”.

And in 2019, a separate dad was jailed for launching a nine-month online stalking campaign against her with a series of threatening messages after she banned him from seeing his child.

She made history as the first woman to take maternity leave as a sitting judge, and described the legal profession as “very male oriented” when she started.

Sara Sharif died in August 2023 aged ten after being tortured by her dad and step-mum.

She was found with at least 71 external injuries and 25 healing fractures.

Sharif and Batool were both convicted last month of her murder and sentenced to life.

Uncle Faisal Malik was convicted of causing or allowing the death of a child.

A MOTHER and daughter duo have left people scratching their heads because they look much more like sisters.

Lobada, 42, and her daughter, Masha, 19, frequently post videos of themselves dancing side by side on social media, but it turns out viewers thought the pair were much closer in age.

In a recent viral video, which Lobada shared on TikTok she can be seen dancing along to a Bruno Mars song with her mini-me.

Donning matching jeans and strapless tops, it’s easy to see why people get confused about their relationship.

“Your daughter looks like your sister,” one person commented on the video in shock.

And a second agreed: “I thought you were the same age!!”

“Could have fooled me,” a third chimed in.

But some thought it was all smoke and mirrors and were convinced the mum was filters to make herself appear younger.

“This has got to be edited,” someone commented on a similar video posted by the duo.

But Lobada hit back and proved once and for all that she’s not faking it.

In another video video, the mum showed what she looks like with a filter on, before stepping to the other half of the screen to reveal her natural features.

With her long, bleach blonde locks, the 42-year-old wore a white mini skirt and black corset top, and even without the filter looked decades younger.

After seeing what she looks like without a filter some even raved that the mum looked better “in reality”.

“You look so much better without the filter,” one person commented on the clip.

“Reality is better, all day every day,” someone else said.

“I’d take reality every time, you’re very pretty,” another commented on the post.

This isn’t the first time the mum has left people confused over her youthful looks though.

Previously, the 19-year-old daughter asked fans to guess her mum’s age, but revealed that it ended in a two.

Fans were quick to theorise if she was aged 32 or 42, with many saying she looks like she could be in her early thirties due to her age-defying appearance.

While some even said she looks 22, one said: “32, she look good for her age.”

Another added: “Yes people it could be 32.”

However, one pointed out: “How can it be 32? she gave birth at 13 since you are 19? this is impossible!”

Many concluded that the mum must be aged 42 based on her appearance, but the TikToker didn’t give away the correct answer at the time.

Thankfully she did share a video later which shared “life at 42 without make-up” revealing she is in her 40s.

Many people were impressed, with one saying: “Natural beauty!”

Another added: “You are beautiful.”

And a third commented: “Is your mum a model omg such natural beauty.”

RICHARD Blackwood has seemingly let slip that he is The Masked Singer’s Bear after an awkward moment during a live TV interview.

EastEnders star Richard, 51, appeared on ITV News when he was directly asked if he was the celebrity behind the furry disguise.

But instead of denying it, Richard froze on-air, sparking speculation that he had been caught out.

The presenter quizzed: “Just quickly, before we finish – are you doing The Masked Singer? Because you’re getting loads of attention about it this week. Can you exclusively reveal it to us?”

Looking flustered, Richard hesitated before responding: “I could… because you made me feel so good and stuff.

“No, I can’t, I can’t. But the moves and the way I… I mean, that’s how I would do it.”

Adding fuel to the fire, Richard dropped a handful of teasing clues when he appeared Good Morning Britain last week.

On the show, host Richard Madeley asked: “Why do you think everybody thinks it’s you?”

To which Richard replied: “The Bear has swag.

“I’m looking and thinking thats how I would do it.

“You cant put on the bear outfit and not know the swag has to be on point.”

Fans of the hit show have been speculating about Bear’s identity for weeks, with many pointing to Richard’s distinctive voice and stage presence as clues.

His reaction on ITV News has only fuelled the rumours further.

Richard has yet to officially confirm or deny the claims – but his hesitation has left many convinced that the game is up.

Viewers have been left divided by Bear’s identity throughout the series, with furry forest dweller confusing viewers with his range of songs and singing styles.

One fan said last week: “Every time I think I know who Bear is, he sings with a different tone.. I’m so confused.”

Another was equally baffled but wanted Bear to win nonetheless: “Bear sounds like different people in every song he sings. I have no idea who Bear is. I want them to win.”

After a hilarious rendition of ‘You’ve got to pick a pocket or two’ from the musical Oliver in their first week, Bear has had people guessing.

One group thought that the voice behind the fuzzy face may be Shaun Wallace of ITV’s The Chase.

An eagle eared viewer said: “Just gonna throw out Shaun Wallace as a rando guess for Bear.”

Another used his Chaser name from the ITV gameshow to put his name in the mix: “Dark destroyer from the chase as the bear? #MaskedSingerUK

Once the name out there others seemed to jump on the idea.

On TikTok one viewer just said “Shaun Wallace The Chase” and got a flurry of replies like “I can hear this now!” and “Only heard the first few words and that was already my guess.”

Other fans came up with another front runner – singer songwriter Example.

One sleuth broke things down on X: “Based on clues, I’m sticking with Example for Bear. “Craven” – he’s from Fulham. Kisses on the dressing room mirror: Changed The Way You Kissed Me?”

• The Masked Singer airs Saturdays on ITV1 and is available on ITVX.

MOLLY Smith sent fans into meltdown when she showed off her incredible figure in a pink bikini on holiday.

It comes just days after The Sun exclusively revealed how the All Stars winner has been rapped by the UK advertising watchdog over a “misleading” Instagram post.

But Molly, 30, wasn’t going to let that ruin her holiday as she soaked up the sun in Dubai.

The stunning reality star – who is on holiday with her All Stars boyfriend Tom Clare – showed off her incredible body in the tiny two-piece.

The gorgeous swimwear had a cute pink gingham print, which showed off her golden skin.

The fitness fanatic revealed her rock hard abs and tons pins as she topped up her deep tan.

Writing next to the slew of incredible snaps, Molly teased: “It’s the little things.”

The Love Island star’s fans were quick to compliment are on the photo, with one saying: “OMG Barbie!”

While this one added: “I’m obsessed!”

Another said: “Wow you are unreal Molly!”

Molly will be hoping to forget her problems on holiday after The Sun revealed how she had run into trouble with the UK’s advertising watchdog.

The All Stars 2024 winner was referred to the Advertising Standards Authority when selling a half-priced subscription to her fitness platform, Move With Molly.

A fan complained that when they tried to access this offer, they had to pay an additional monthly charge on top of it.

Molly posted a promotion on November 25, 2024 with a special offer stating: “@mwmplan Black Friday All of this is included in the VIP subscription which is where you can get 50% off!! Don’t miss out #mybrand”

Molly’s team put it down to a technical glitch, which they say has now been resolved – and has promised ASA it won’t happen again in the future.

A spokesperson for the ASA gave the full details, adding: “We received a complaint about a Black Friday promotion for mwmplan.com on Molly Smith‘s Instagram.

“The promotion offered participants 50% off the annual subscription price to have ‘Full access’ to the app ‘including the Home & Gym plans, Run Club & Challenges’.

“A complainant challenged whether the ad was misleading as they found that it wasn’t possible to have full access to the app content without paying an additional monthly charge.

“Upon approaching the advertiser, we found that the complainant’s inability to access the app content was due to a technical issue during the subscription process.

“The advertiser assured us that they’d been in touch with the complainant to rectify this issue and that they’d taken steps to ensure similar issues wouldn’t reoccur in the future. On that basis, we resolved the case informally.”

The Sun previously contacted Molly’s rep for comment.

The stunning influencer is the latest in a long line of reality stars – especially Love Island ones – who have fallen foul of ad rules.

It became such an issue that ASA had to bring in a campaign to “name and shame” repeat offenders.

In 2022, a host of big names were added to the influencer “naughty list”.

They were called out for “routinely” failing to tell millions of followers that their posts were adverts.

The list included Billie Faiers, Chet Johnson, Charlotte Crosby, Scotty T and Charlotte Dawson.

A CONTROVERSIAL series 11 bombshell has returned to Love Island and made a beeline for single Catherine Agbeje.

The lad’s first time in the villa was riddled with drama after he pursued Joey Essex’s girl.

The Sun can reveal Omar Nyame, 26, is All Stars’ latest bombshell and he’s already in the villa.

He’s keen to find love this time round after failing to steal Grace Jackson from Joey in 2024.

The battle for the blonde ended in Love Island’s own fight night as Joey and Omar squared up to each other.

This time, though, Omar headed straight for Catherine – not Grace.

A source said: “Omar did what bombshells are meant to do and tried to steal Grace from Joey, but it all ended badly for him.

“This time round he didn’t want to get into drama as genuinely wants to find love.

“Catherine is gorgeous and funny and it’s a bonus she’s also single.

“Omar is hoping to rewrite his Love Island story and Catherine could make for the perfect leading lady.”
