Many were shocked and saddened when Cadbury's changed the chocolate in its creme egg.

Yep, the sweet company ditched the original chocolate for cheaper stuff, and fans were not happy. Cadbury's even suffered a €6 million sales slump because of it.

So, if you don't want to lose the deliciousness of what once was, here's a fab recipe you can make with Dairy Milk chocolate, and guess what? It tastes exactly like the chocolate your mammy used to buy you. 

Remember to get some egg-shaped moulds to make the sweets! 

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 3 cups powered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • Yellow food colouring
  • 450g Dairy Milk chocolate, melted

Method

1. Prepare the eggshells by pouring the melted chocolate into the moulds. Tilt the mould to reach the whole surface and remember to keep space for the filing. Chill for 5 to 10 minutes, or until set.

2. In a mixer, cream together the corn syrup, butter, powered sugar and vanilla. Add milk and continue to mix. Take a third of the mixture and add the yellow food colouring for the yolk filling.

3. Transfer the white filling and yellow filling into two separate plastic bags, and cut a small hole in one corner of each bag.

4. Pipe the white filling first, then a small amount of the yellow filling into the chocolate egg. Chill for ten minutes to harden.

5. Use a thin layer of melted chocolate to stick the moulds together, and chill for another 5 minutes.

6. AND NOW EAT!

EOS lip balm was made very popular as Kim Kardashian, Britney and Miley Cyrus all became brand ambassadors over the past year.

But it seems the lip company has a lot to answer now as customers have been experiencing very bad reactions. 

One woman, named Rachel Cronin has filed a lawsuit against the company after the product had "produced a panoply of bad reactions, including severe rashes, blistering, cracking and loss of pigmentation," reports TMZ.

Rachel said that within hours of applying the balm, her lips felt like sandpaper, and as she applied more they started to crack, flake and bleed, creating blisters and rashers that lasted nearly ten days.

TMZ tried to get a statement from the brand, but EOS decided not to reply. It might be time to put the egg-shaped pod away, so!

It seems that Millie is enjoying some welcome time off as she flaunts her ridiculously toned body while vacationing in the Maldives with a close friend. 

From morning yoga sessions to bicycle rides to snorkelling, it certainly seems that the former Made in Chelsea likes to keep active even on her holiers. 

The 26-year-old jet-setted out to paradise last week and has been giving us some serious holiday envy ever since. 

The pretty brunette has also been showing off her fabulous array of bathing suits on Instagram as she describes her vacation with pal, Hannah Smith, as a little slice of "heaven."

In fact, her snaps are literally driving us to the brink of planning a holiday right now…

While there is no sign of hubby Professor Green, the reality star revealed her marriage is still going strong. 

The couple have been plagued with split rumours pretty much since the big day but Millie revealed that they have both learned to leave all that at the front door. 

"When we’re at home I’m Camilla Manderson and he’s Stephen Manderson," she told Cosmopolitan this month. 

"We leave our work personas outside the house. When we’re here, we are just us." 

"We are from different backgrounds and I can never pretend that I understand what he’s been through in his life, but it’s ridiculous to think that people from different backgrounds can’t be together."

We reckon Prof Green must be feeling a tad jealous of his other half right now. Those beaches!

Vogue Willams has settled a breach of contract claim against a popular Dublin dental clinic.

The model brought a breach of contract claim to the Circuit Civil Court in Dublin against Seapoint Clinic last year. 

Her claim against the Blackrock business was brought to court today, as Vogue claimed €38,000 in damages previously.

Vogue alleged that in January 2012, she made an agreement with the clinic for dental treatment – which included the fitting of braces and veneers, replacement of a temporary crown and cosmetic treatment – for an agreed sum of €7,000. 

She also claims that she agreed to do an interview with an Irish magazine and a video testimonial promoting the clinic for a discount on the price of her treatment. 

The 29-year-old then alleged that after having provided the clinic with the agreed publicity, it sought full payment for her treatment. 

But Seapoint Clinic did not back down and made a counter-claim against Vogue. They alleged that Vogue failed to attend a number of scheduled appointments and that it had been put to expense and cost as a result. 

The clinic delivered a full defence and counter claim to Vogue's today, yet none of which was made public.

Barrister David Boughton, for Ms Williams, told Mr Justice Raymond Groarke in the Circuit Court that his client's claim has been settled and can be struck out with no further order.

Barrister Shane English, for Seapoint Clinic said that the defendant was consenting to the order.

Baywatch is back, people and we all know what that means. 

We're talking red swimsuits, drowning tourists, lot's of sunscreen and of course those infamous slow motion running scenes. 

The iconic television series is to be remade into a feature film for 2017 and if the new cast doesn't get you excited then we don't know what will. 

So just who is set to don the red suit? 

1) Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson 

Whoever took on the role as head lifeguard at Malibu Beach was always going to have some big shoes to fill.

David Hasselhoff was iconic in the role but we reckon the Rock is more than capable of donning those red shorts. 

2) Zac Efron 

What would Baywatch be without a young stud muffin running around to distract all the ladies? 

We reckon Zac Efron is perfect casting if only because… abs. 

3) Kelly Rohbach 

You may recognise model Kelly as the former girlfriend of Leonardo DiCaprio. 

Despite breaking up in the last few weeks, Kelly has loads going for her after landing her first acting gig in Baywatch. Though it seems that Dwayne is already putting the gorgeous model through her paces… 

 

For our #BAYWATCH and the iconic role of "CJ Parker" I had to make sure @kellyrohrbach was… tough.

4) Alexandria Daddario 

You may recognise Alexandria from the first series of True Detective where she certainly showed off her assets. 

The 29-year-old is set to play a character called Summer in the 2017 film. 

5) Priyanka Chopra 

Priyanka is reportedly on board to play the villain of the film. 

You may recognise the pretty star from her lead role in ABC's top drama series, Quantico.

First he wants to go in, then he wants to leave, then he DID leave, and now he wants to go back in again. We just can't keep tabs on what Jonathan Cheban is thinking.

After his hasty exit from the Big Brother house this week, the reality star has revealed to Heat that he wants to go back in again – but it's some of the people inside that's keeping him out. 

Speaking from his swank London hotel, Kim K's best friend revealed, "I would love to go back in."

"But once you come out – you'd now have to literally push me in there. I liked so many of the people in the house. Daniella was so sweet, Christopher was hilarious and Scotty is awesome.

But he also had some strong words about the people he didn't get on with.

"Angie is like a bat out of hell – I don't do well with crazy people and she was like, something is wrong with her.

"John was trying to be too controlling – I couldn't care less about him. I don't know who he is," he added.

Mr Cheban also revealed that he's going to be filming with the Kimmy soon, and will be flying to LA in the next month.

"I’m back in LA filming with the Kardashians next month so I’ll be there for a long time and I’ll see [Kim] then!”

You are one confusing man, Jonathan.

If you've recently got into a relationship, you'll know how much pressure there is for when your new beau's birthday comes around. 

Do you get them a present? A big one or a small one? And should you give them a shoutout on social media? So many questions.

But Gigi Hadid seemed to have it all figured out as she shared a photo on Instagram to celebrate Zayn Malik's birthday. The only thing is, we're kinda confused about what the picture actually is. 

Blurred and fuzzy, we're guessing it's a gold chain with a diamond Z on the end, and we're also guessing that it's hanging from her neck. 

The grainy shot has a time stamp from today, but besides that, it's very cryptic. 

She did manage to add in a cute caption though: the word "ZDAY", followed by a heart emoji. Aww.

He spent 14 years touring with one of Ireland's most successful boybands, but it's only now that Nicky Byrne is beginning to feel like an artist in his own right.

"When you’re in a band like Westlife, you are given a producer’s song so you put your vocals on it and then you try to deliver that when it goes live," he told SHEmazing today, as news of his Eurovision 2016 bid went public.

"But when you are writing a song, that’s from you and your heart."

Sunlight, Nicky's uptempo and oh-so catchy Eurovision entry, has in fact been a work in progress over the last two years.

Indeed, after getting its international debut in Stockholm in May, it'll feature on Nicky's upcoming album – his first since finishing with Westlife.

"I knew there would be a solo album. All the lads had released theirs so I knew mine would come in 2016."

A passion for performing is something that hasn't left Nicky, even now that he's more often found behind a radio mic on his 2FM show than in front of a crowd.

"Standing on a stage, I love it. Georgina [Ahern, Nicky's wife of 12 years] goes to me ‘Jesus Christ’ because she couldn’t even stand on a stage and look out.

"But some people just live for those moments. 

"With Westlife you were lucky enough to pop up out of the ground or fly in from the roof but we cant do that because of the stage they create in Stolkholm.

"It’s all about that three minutes; to perform, show personality and deliver the song."

With RTÉ backing him for Eurovision and a profile already built up in Ireland thanks to Westlife, it'd be easy for the 37-year-old to get complacent – but he's determined to make his own mark at a solo artist.

"For Eurovision, the Westlife thing is going to help but I hope here that just because I’m on 2FM doesn’t take from people actually giving the song a spin on other station."

"This is not a 2FM thing or an RTE thing, it's me."

Listen to Nicky's full track here, and tune into The Ray D'Arcy Show on February 13 to hear it performed live:

Well, it seems Nicky Hilton has certainly been busy since returning from her honeymoon.

The socialite and heiress is expecting her first child with new husband, banking heir James Rothschild, it was confirmed today.

Hotel heiress Nicky married James in a lavish ceremony at London's Kensington Palace back in July, before heading to Botswana for a safari honeymoon.

According to People, the 32-year-old is "very excited" to become a mum and has been "feeling great" so far. 

Although she's kept quiet on social media about her pregnancy, we've no doubt there'll be a bump photo soon – the Hilton family were quick to share snaps of the expectant mum's recent wedding rather than wait for a magazine deal.

"They [Nicky and James] have just begun telling close friends and family," a source told People of the couple's pregnancy news, adding that the couple were "over the moon."

Nicky's older sister Paris, 34, was overjoyed to see her sibling walking down the aisle, saying she and James were "so loyal and in love."

Wonder if she'll get the nod for godmother?

Jamie Dornan might have gotten some stick for his "awkward" interviews during the Fifty Shades press circuit, but us Irish know he's good craic underneath it all.

In fact, he's even sound enough to take a break from filming to spend some time with his fans, as Belfast ladies Lois Brady and Paula Morrison learnt last week.

The Down native was at the Old High School in Belfast working on the new series of The Fall, and when he got wind that the two ladies were waiting outside to try to meet him, he soon obliged by heading out for a few photos in the rain.

"Security told us if we hung about he would come out and say hello," the ladies told SHEmazing. 

"It was lashing with rain but he came out and he chatted a bit. We got our pics and ran back to the car.

"It reminded me of my Take That stalking days when I was 15."

Just look at him there in black and white… is it just us or did it suddenly get very hot in here?!

A big thank you to Paula Morrison and Lois Brady for sending this in.  If you have a story, video or anything else you think we’d love, catch us on Facebook, Twitter or hello@shemazing.ie. The best submission EVERY month wins a €50 shopping voucher!

Angie Bowie's sad news led to a darkly hilarious mix-up on Monday, as her CBB housemates assumed another 'David' had died.

Channel 5 producers took David Bowie's ex-wife into the diary room to privately tell her that the legendary rocker, with whom she has one son, had died of cancer.

But when she left and turned to Tiffany Pollard for comfort, she simply said, "David is dead," leading to utter confusion for the contestants.

"I can't keep this a secret, she told me not to tell anybody… I'm not able to not tell anyone," Tiffany told the other housemates in the garden, clearly assuming David Gest had passed away in the CBB house.

"I hope she's just joking but she said she's not, she told me that David is dead."

Minutes later, Danielle accused Angie of being "sick" for pretending that someone had died when he was "asleep in the other room."

Watch the whole thing here:

Speaking about the ridiculous mix-up, Angie later called it "a comedy of errors," saying, "it's on tape, I said David not David Gest, but I didn't say Bowie."

Later that day Kim K's best Jonathan Cheban made the decision to quit the house in a shock move, explaining that his time had "expired" and adding, "I'm not really into fighting, Tiffany is insane! It's getting down and dirty and there's a bad vibe in the house."

Just another day in the CBB house…
