Nothing beats sipping a delicious cocktail while on holiday, but these places may give your normal destinations a run for their money.

Subsix in the Maldives
Subsix is the world’s first ever underwater club. Not only is it located 19 feet below the surface of the Indian Ocean, it also boasts a 300-label wine list.

Icebar in Sweden
You can enjoy a cold beer 124 miles north of the Arctic Circle. You won’t want to forget your gloves at this bar as everything is made from ice.

Boabab Tree Bar in South Africa
This bar is located in the largest baobab tree in the world. The tree has a hollow centre and the van Heerden family thought this was the perfect setting for a narrow pub. It even has a sound system installed.

Vernadsky Station Lounge in Antarctica
This is the world’s most southern bar and is the only place to get a drink in Antarctica. It’s not even that pricey – you can order homemade vodka shots for just $3.

It’s no secret that the X Factor’s ratings have declined significantly in recent years.

The show’s bosses are pulling out all the stops to return the star-making programme to its former glory, bringing our favourite sassy mum, Sharon Osbourne back into the fold.

Considering the popularity of that move, it’s no surprise that they’ve delved back into the pool of judges from the show’s golden years.

But who’s making a dramatic return?

We still have our fingers crossed that Cheryl will be on our screens once again, but reports now reveal that Simon Cowell is currently finalising a deal with the show’s chiefs.

The dad-to-be will rejoin the judging panel in August after a three-year hiatus.

It’s not yet known if he’ll continue on the X Factor’s US edition, but either way, we’ll be happy to have Simon back where he belongs.

We might even get another One Direction out of the deal!

Una is one lucky, lucky girl.

Husband of the Irish gal from The Saturday’s, Ben, has signed with NEXT Model Management.

Speaking about the signing, the Northampton Saints player said: “I’m really looking forward to joining NEXT’s prestigious men’s board and having the opportunity to work with the team”.

Could the rugby player be securing his future outside of the sports world? It looks like he’ll make a great job of it anyway!

Sugar is bad for us and experts even consider it to be as dangerous as alcohol and tobacco. Gulp!

Unfortunately, it’s everywhere – in our processed food, our tea and our juice – and there seems to be no hiding from it.

However we’ve dug up a few ways you make your diet a little less sugary.

Replace it with coconut oil
Just like sugar, it’s a source of instant energy; however, it doesn’t cause you to experience the sugar rush slump. Yay!

Avoid buying processed foods
If they’re not in your cupboard, you won’t be tempted. If you do succumb to buying something, hide it!

Put down the coffee
Unless you can drink it without a spoonful of the bad stuff, avoid it at all costs.

Change your routine
If you’re used to banishing the 3pm slump with a chocolate bar, try going for a walk around the office instead. Sometimes you just need a change of scenery.

You can do it, just believe in yourself!

The release date for Grace Kelly’s biopic, Grace of Monaco, has been indefinitely delayed.

The movie, starring Nicole Kidman as Princess Grace, was due for release in March following an original delay to the release date back in November.

It would seem the delays are coming from reported disagreements between the movie’s director Oliver Dahan and co-founder of the movie’s production company, Harvey Weinstein of The Weinstein Company.

Following the delay last year Dahan spoke with a French newspaper about the difficulties: “There are two versions of the film for now: … mine and his, which I find catastrophic”.

We were really looking forward to this, so hopefully it’s resolved!
