A unsuspecting grocery shopper went to do their weekly shop in Australia this week but what she found in her mixed salad bag may have left her with little appetite. 

Zoe Perry had shopped in well known Australian supermarket chain, Woolworths, when she noticed something in her salad was literally moving when she got home. 

We would want our Italian Style Salad Mix to be fresh too, but this is taking the biscuit. 

Zoe took to Facebook to vent her horror at what she found and the video is quite literally the stuff of total nightmares. 

"Hi Woolworths, shopping as per usual for Italian Style Salad Mix….get it home….Mum goes to open the packet and we are greeted by…," read the post. 

The supermarket chain were quick to release a statement which they emailed to Mashable. 

"Woolworths takes food safety very seriously. We require our suppliers to follow clear quality control guidelines during food processing," read a statement made by the supermarket chain. 

"Pre-packaged lettuce goes through an extensive process before being packaged. Our suppliers wash, blow dry, shake and visually inspect the lettuce.

"We immediately sent a food quality expert to the processing facility to see what additional measures can be put in place."

That's all well and good Woolworths, but how will you rectify our trauma whenever we open a fresh bag of lettuce?

A man has appeared in court on Tuesday after allegedly stalking Little Mix member, Jade Thirlwall. 

Nabeel Waseem has been accused of flooding the pop star's management company with emails and calls as well as turning up at the house of a family member of Jade's. 

According to Chronicle Live, the 22-year-old was reprimanded at a hotel near the star's home in South Tyneside in the UK last month. 

"His actions were always intended for the best," said the London natives lawyer. 

Hmm, still a tad creepy. 

Nabeel faced a charge of stalking between December 9 and January of this year and reportedly went to great lengths to try and get close to the star, including visiting Jade's grandmother's house. 

The court was adjourned until later this month and Nabeel has been released on conditional bail.

Last night, the whole crew of Zoolander 2 walked the red carpet in London, but the movie wasn't the only thing that premiered.

While all the celebs were walking the carpet, Ben Stiller came out with the longest selfie stick EVER.

It captured all the cast and crew (along with Myleene Klass for some reason) and some by-standers, too.

Although we can't really see everyone from that height, the novelty is too much for us and we want need that selfie stick now.

And speaking to the Daily Star, he has a pretty clear ideas about how he wants to spend the evening. 

"I have a room ready in the hotel after the show to spend some time with her."

Hmm, so it seems Jez has some high expectations about what is going to be happening tonight then. 

"I will be there tonight and I'm dying to see her. I love her," said the Irish model. 

"She deserves to win and is a beautiful, smart girl."

The pair will be hit with a media circus after the show ends this evening on Channel 5. 

Jeremy and Stephanie became very close during the course of their time in the CBB house together, despite the 22-year-old actress having a long-term boyfriend. 

Steph has since publicly broke up with Sam Reece while on the show, citing that things had not been good between them after the model had cheated on her.

With Pancake Tuesday just around the corner and the world currently celebrating the silky, smooth deliciousness that is Nutella today, it's about time you dealt with your Nutella-related emotions. 

Founded by an American blogger named Sara Russo, World Nutella Day has been a thing since 2007 and this years marks the tenth anniversary of the mouth-watering nutty spread. 

So if you haven't already tucked into your seventh slice of Nutella-laden toast, here's 9 ways you know you are unashamedly a total Nutella addict. 

1) You have convinced yourself that Nutella is perfectly healthy

It is made from nuts so it simply has to be good for you… right? 

 

2) You have to restrict your self from buying the jumbo size jars 

'What do you mean it comes in a JUMBO size???'

 

3) You love Nutella so much that you just eat it with a spoon 

No bread required 

 

4) You have tried Nutella on one too many things that it just shouldn't go on 

Nutella on pizza is totally a thing 

 

5) You will go out of your way to go to cafes that serve Nutella-based treats and you don't care who knows 

One Nutella milkshake with a Nutella cupcake and a side of Nutella ice-cream, thanks. 

 

6) Dropping a jar of Nutella is akin to losing a close, childhood friend 

Seriously, the worst days ever 

 

7) You use every utensil and body part to ensure each Nutella jar is scrubbed clean

Because not a drop should go to waste 

 

8) You have contemplated buying/ already own novelty Nutella items 

Because you rock your Nutella phone cover and matching purse like no one else

 

9) You are convinced your family and friends are plotting a Nutella-vention

But they will NEVER be able to separate you from your one true love

What would you do if you hopped off the DART on your grim morning commute and Sir Elton John was sitting playing piano as you arrived at your stop?

We would probably have to pinch ourselves.

But this exactly what happened to some lucky commuters at St. Pancreas' International Station yesterday. 

Sir Elton popped up very discreetly and allegedly played piano for about five minutes before he left. 

He didn't sing but he did leave the piano as a little present to London. 

"My gift is my song and this piano's for you," read a message the 68-year-old musician left on the piano referencing lyrics from his hit, Your Song

How sweet. 

Elton is currently out promoting his new album, Wonderful Crazy Night which is out today.

He may be known for breaking Binky Felsted's heart before becoming her fully-fledged boyfriend on Made In Chelsea, but it seems JP Patterson is using his new found fame for a good cause. 

We all know how important it is for public figures to openly discuss their mental health issues in order to reduce the stigmatisation of mental illness, so we are giving JP major props for this one. 

In an interview with Good Morning Britain, the Chelsea heartthrob revealed that he has suffered from depression and things have been so bad that he has considered suicide in the past. 

The illness took hold of the reality star in his early teens after the break up of his parents marriage. 

"My issues started at a very young age. My parents who are phenomenal, unfortunately had their differences, it was quite an unhappy marriage for them, which unfortunately affected my sister and I.

"I think it began at nine or 10 for me, being exposed to the arguments, they never intentionally did it, but unfortunately that was the case."

"So I started to be affected mentally by that.

"It was not until my parents divorced when I was 13 when things actually started to really progress and get far, far worse.

"The way I was behaving in school became quite erratic, I became very aggressive and again just not having an understanding of the way I was behaving and why I was doing it. It was a bad cycle."

JP was speaking out to raise awareness as part of Good Morning Britain's Changing Minds campaign.

Note to interviewers; if you are doing an interview with an MTV reality show star come adult entertainer, you may want to get your facts straight. 

Many of us recall the hot-tempered nature of Farrah Abraham from her stint on Celebrity Big Brother last year and it seems that this interviewer just felt her full wrath for the first time. 

At the recent Adult Entertainment Expo in the US, one interview with the Teen Mom star went from bad to worse very quickly.

When the interviewer asks: "what is your fave set experience that you have ever had?" Farrah is quick to remind him that she has never been on a porn set because she is known in the adult entertainment business for a 'celebrity sex tape'. 

Riiiiiight. A leaked celebrity sex tape that just happened to co-star one of the top male porn stars in America… 

Watch the cringe-inducing video below:
