The star-studded line-up for Ariana Grande's Manchester benefit concert was announced yesterday and now ITV have confirmed they will move the Britain's Got Talent final.

A clash of schedules meant that the benefit concert, which will raise funds for the victims of last week's devastating attack, would air on Sunday night on BBC at the same time the ITV were due to broadcast the BGT finale.

Finalists will now battle it out live on Saturday, June 3 at 7:30pm.

The British Soap Awards have also been rescheduled and will now air on Tuesday, June 6 at 8:00pm.

An ITV spokesperson said: “Ariana Grande’s One Love Manchester benefit concert is bringing artists and the public together, and will raise funds for the Red Cross’s Manchester Emergency Fund.

“ITV and Britain’s Got Talent have no desire to distract from this important cause, so we have taken the decision to move the Britain’s Got Talent final from Sunday night."

The massive concert will be held at Manchester's Old Trafford cricket ground almost two weeks after the attack at the Manchester Arena took place.

Coldplay, Take That, Niall Horan, Usher, Kety Perry, Miley Cyrus and Pharell William will all join Ariana on stage in an effort to to raise much needed proceeds and pay tribute to victims and their families.

It was originally thought that Justin Bieber would appear on stage, but according to The Sun Online, the Despacito singer will not be performing on the night.

However, the line-up is still an ongoing process so we could be in for a few surprises on the night.

Tickets go on sale on Thursday June 1 at 10am, with proceeds from the event going towards the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund.

For those of us not lucky enough to be there, the three-hour long show will air on BBC on Sunday night from 7:15pm, and donations can be mage through the We Love Manchester JustGiving page.

Three top tips for enjoying a beach holiday

When we think of a beach holiday, the first things that come to mind are soft, sandy beaches and warm turquoise waters, a place where you can relax and get away from it all for a while. However, sometimes a beach holiday can be stressful, rather than relaxing, especially if you have not planned your trip well. Here is a guide to enjoying a beach holiday, so you come home feeling rested and ready for action.

Skin Care

There is no excuse for not putting on the high factor sun cream, yet every year there are many tourists that become sunburned and even ill as a result of not being careful in the sun. A bad case of sunburn is sure to spoil the rest of your trip, so slather it on in the morning and reapply frequently throughout the day. Seek out shade or cover your skin with loose fabric if you feel as if you are beginning to burn.

After you have been in the sun, apply a good moisturiser to keep your skin hydrated and supple.

The Destination

Do your research before you book your holiday abroad to make sure you know exactly what the beaches are like before you arrive. For example, if you have been looking forward to a fine sandy beach, you are likely to be disappointed if you end up of a stony, rocky coast. Choose a destination that is known for fabulous beaches, look up holidays in Menorca.

Are you happy with a beach full of people, or would you prefer a quieter beach destination/ Do you want to relax in gentle waves, or do you like some choppier waters where you can enjoy wind and surf sports? Research makes sure you get the most out of your beach holiday.

Hydrate

When you are relaxing on a beach, it is important to keep drinking plenty of water. This will make sure that you stay feeling well in hot weather, and keep your skin looking good too. A holiday is often a time when we indulge in a glass or three of the local tipple, so hydrating well throughout the day is key to not getting a hangover the next morning. 

Laying on the beach and watching the world go by might be enough for some, but after a while you might become a little bored. That is why it is a good idea to bring some entertainment with you. Pick up some books that you have never read before, make sure your phone is well stocked with music, or bring some sports equipment like a tennis set, or beach ball to have some fun with. If you have children with you, then buckets and spades are a must.

Going on a beach holiday should be fun and relaxing, and is something that can help us recharge. Follow these tips to make sure you have an enjoyable time and return feeling rejuvenated.

The area will also have some of the finest Absolut cocktails on offer, and the drinks lineup is almost as good as the musical offerings.

'Midsommar in Sweden is the ultimate celebration of summer, on the longest day of the year when the sun never seems to set,' said award winning Stockholm mixologist, Jakob Sundin.

'At Midsommar celebrations Swede’s wear flowers crowns in their hair a symbol of rebirth and fertility. Gathering flowers to weave into crowns was considered a way to harness nature’s magic and ensure good health throughout the year.'

'I wanted to capture a taste of that magic that makes Midsommar so special as part of Absolut’s bar line-up at Body and Soul.'

"What if Snow White was no longer beautiful?" reads the new advertisement for Red Snows and the 7 Dwarfs.

If the above statement wasn't bad enough, what is irking most people is that the picture beside the words is of a much curvier version of the Disney character.

The spin-off movie is being called out for fat shaming, and positivity advocate Tess Holiday has shared her views about the ad on social media.

In the billboard, Snow White is seen on two sides; on the left she is strikingly thin and tall, where as on the right she is shorter and curvier.

Tess wrote in a tweet last night, "How did this get approved by an entire marketing team? Why is it okay to tell young kids being fat = ugly?"

The entrepreneur also tagged the film's star, Chloe Moretz, who will voice the character of Snow White.

Chloe has yet to comment.

However, looking at the trailer for the flick, it doesn't seem much better.

We're trying to think of a reason as to why a story would be based around weight, and all we can think of is maybe Snow White ends up happier when she stops trying to ive up to unrealistic standards?

We're just so confused by the entire premise.

Cork city was left traumatised this week when a bird attacked more than 20 people.

After numerous disturbances in Cork IT, where two people needed medical treatment, the Cork Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals decided to call out to investigate the matter.

And it turns out that the culprit wasn't even a crow; it was a jackdaw.

Image may contain: bird and outdoor

The CSPCA said: "Jack the jackdaw. Apologies for the name but what else would you call the bandit of CIT.

"This little guy and its parents have been causing quite a stir over the past day or so with reports of people being buzzed overhead on the campus of CIT.

"So to prevent panic and a mass evacuation of the city, we headed over to see what all the fuss was about.

"Jack had fallen from its nest by either being too adventurous or got pushed by fellow siblings, when on the ground its parents were continuing to feed but also defend and protect it from anything that gets too close including humans, they were doing exactly what any other parent, human or animal would do in the same circumstances.

"As the nest could not be located, jack will now be fostered and will do quite well for itself and we are glad to report that calm has now been restored to our fair city."

Peace has been restored!

We're well used to the current Trump administration using 'alternative facts,' but now the POTUS is using alternative words in his statements. 

Taking to Twitter last night, President Trump posted a cryptic tweet that left his 31 million followers scratching their heads.

Twitter has been speculating what the POTUS means in his vague statement. 

Many think that he meant to say 'press coverage' but spelt it wrong, but there has been no confirmation from the White House about the tweet.

'Today will be largely dry with good sunny spells for much of the country,' said Met Éireann. 

'Cloudier conditions will persist for a time in the east and south with patches of mist, drizzle and fog affecting coastal areas.'

'Highest temperatures will range between 17 and 21 degrees, the warmer weather in the midlands and west.'

'Winds will be light variable at first but will increase moderate to fresh southerly during the day.'

Olivia Newton-John has revealed to her fans that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer.

The 68-year-old recently had to cancel her Canadian tour due to back pain, but in a statement released last night, her manager said that "turned out to be breast cancer that has metastasized to the sacrum."

The statement read: "Olivia Newton-John is reluctantly postponing her June U.S. and Canadian concert tour dates.

"The back pain that initially caused her to postpone the first half of her concert tour, has turned out to be breast cancer that has metastasized to the sacrum.

"In addition to natural wellness therapies, Olivia will complete a short course of photon radiation therapy and is confident she will be back later in the year, better than ever, to celebrate her shows.

Olivia added: "I decided on my direction of therapies after consultation with my doctors and natural therapists and the medical team at my Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness and Research Centre in Melbourne, Australia."

The Grease superstar was previously diagnosed with the disease in 1992. 

We wish her a speedy recovery.

Scented temporary tattoos are the latest trend clogging up Pinterest right now – but we're not complaining.

According to the site's latest trend report, space buns, mismatched nails and shoulder-length hair are all big players in the worlds of style and beauty this summer, but it's these tiny, scented tattoos that are being pinned more than any other trend.

Searches are up a massive 450 per cent from this time last year, meaning that if you haven't come across them yet, it's only a matter of time.

Tattly are market leaders in this must-have accessory, featuring designs by the French watercolour artist, Vincent Jeannerot.

The temporary tattoos are made using vegetable-based ink and last for up to four days.  

The scents of the tattoos vary depending on the collection but include everything from true florals to herbs and spices.

 

Spring is really growing on us, can't you tell? We love this look courtesy of the In Bloom Set by @helendealtry.
