Domino’s, Ireland’s best loved pizza company, has just dropped this summers must have, a limited-edition Garlic & Herb Dip inspired fashion collection, along with its very own ‘Big Dip’ Plunge Pool. Whatever the weather this August, you won’t want to miss out on this one.

Made in Chelsea and Love Island royalty, Sam Thompson and Zara McDermott, launched the new range, which includes a summer shirt, bikini and swim shorts. Sam donned the stylish bikini whilst sitting in the Big Dip Plunge Pool eating pizza from the first ever Domino’s floating pizza box. Alongside him, Zara modelled the new collection shorts and shirt.

Coming in at 42.4 times the volume of a standard dip pot, the Big Dip Plunge Pool will be available in limited numbers for pizza lovers to take a literal ‘dip’. The perfect accessory for a hot date night or summer pool party.

Of course, it’s not a real party until the food arrives. This year, pizza fans can get their hands on the latest edition of the Domino’s collection, the brand-new floating Domino’s pizza box. Gone are the days of needing to dry off and jump out of the pool to grab a slice, now the feast floats to you! Custom made to fit any large sized Domino’s pizza, fans can swim away with this summer accessory that can be used time and time again. 

Domino’s is really making a splash this summer with the drop of its first limited-edition Garlic & Herb Dip Collection. Complete with a unisex summer shirt with a design subtly garnished with the iconic Garlic & Herb Dip. But to really make a statement poolside, opt for the jaw-dropping Garlic & Herb Dip swim shorts or the matching bikini set – a look that is sure to turn heads this summer!

Sam Thompson, A True Domino’s Dipper said: “At our house, it’s criminal to order a Domino’s without getting extra Garlic & Herb Dip, so this for me is heaven! In fact, it might just be the best thing that has happened to me since I met Zara. I was excited about filling our new Pool with Garlic & Herb Dip so I could plunge myself in, but for now, water will do. It’s also safe to say, we can’t trust the weather but what I do know is I might just be the hottest thing going now, and I’m pretty sure Zara would think so too after seeing me in that bikini.”

Speaking on why Domino’s has dropped the ultimate summer collection, Sam Wilson, Domino’s Merch Master added: “We wanted to make a bit of a splash this summer, and with millions of Garlic & Herb Dips served a year, it’s fair to say we’re a nation that loves a dip. So, we thought, why not combine the best of both worlds and make our BIGGEST dip ever for pizza fans to enjoy whilst eating a piping hot pizza?!

“Along with the plunge pool, The Garlic & Herb Dip Collection is a sure thing to heat up your summer, and is perfect for those looking to make a statement. Including those looking to enjoy a slice whilst taking a dip!”

The limited-edition Garlic & Herb Collection merch includes:

  • Chequered pot summer shirt – available in sizes S to XL
  • Bikini set – available in sizes S to XL

Kady McDermott has revealed another Love Island argument that went unaired!

Following her second stint on the hit ITV dating show, Kady has been sharing all of the behind-the-scenes secrets, including unaired bickering between the Islanders.

In recent weeks, Kady and her fellow co-stars have detailed several arguments that never made it to the small screen, including fights between winning couple Sammy Root and Jess Harding.

Now, in a brand-new podcast interview, the 27-year-old bombshell has uncovered another scrap that viewers never got to see.

Speaking to Sam Thompson and Pete Wicks on their Staying Relevant podcast, the series two favourite spilled all the details.

Presenter Sam, who also hosts the official Love Island: The Morning After podcast, asked Kady: "I heard that Scott clicked [his fingers] at producers, I heard he had a bit of an attitude in there."

"Him and Mehdi, at lunchtime…the food wasn't the best, ok, it wasn't, but we got fed, it was good, we had lunch and dinner made for us every day and it was fine, it done the job,” Kady recalled.

"[Scott] basically kicked off one day and Mehdi lost his s*** at him,” she went on to explain.

Kady then noted exactly what went down between the pair.

"He pushed his plate and went, ‘This food is s***, there's no protein, where's the food?'. Mehdi lost his s*** and went, ‘You are so ungrateful'. It was a big, big argument,” the star shared.

Adding a further comment about her fellow contestant, Kady admitted: "I like Scott, but he just had some bad manners, that's fact."

Kady’s comments came after Scott-van-der-Sluis recently addressed claims by his co-star that he was ‘rude’ in the villa.

In an interview with On Demand Entertainment, the 22-year-old Welshman insisted: “I never said ‘please’, I’ll get that out there, but I always said ‘thank you’”.

“Basically, it would be like, ‘Aw, will you chuck us some white chocolate from the fridge?’. They did it, I’d say thank you,” he continued.

“Listen, I understand people saying that, and I always said my thank yous,” Scott concluded.

It has been revealed that Danny Jones’ son was recently admitted to hospital.

Danny, who is best known for being a member of the band McFly, arrived home earlier this week after a family holiday in Tenerife with his wife Georgia and the couple’s son, five-year-old Cooper.

However, the family have now shared the scary news that Cooper had to be taken to hospital towards the end of their holiday.

Taking to her Instagram stories earlier today, Georgia chose to update her 194K followers on what happened.

“This little guy just before we were due to fly home got a bit sick…” she began.

“And when I say a bit sick… he quickly went from this…” she penned alongside a snap of a pale Cooper asleep beside a sick bucket, to a photo of him in hospital.

“But my goodness he was so so brave,” the 36-year-old praised.

Georgia then went on to share a few details about what led to Cooper’s admission to hospital.

“I think had this of been England it wouldn’t of been quite as dramatic, but I guess they have to be so careful with dehydration in little ones in hot countries,” the model explained.

“He wasn’t keeping water down so was pretty dehydrated and lethargic,” Georgia continued.

“We obviously had to change flights, book our accommodation for longer & rearrange all our bits and bobs, but we had to make sure this little man was back to eating waffles & chocolate sauce before we were confident to fly,” the mum-of-one teased, writing alongside a heartwarming image of Cooper back to his normal self.

“A bit of a stressful end to the holiday… but we’re home now,” Georgia concluded.

All About You hitmaker Danny tied the knot with Georgia in August 2014, during a stunning ceremony in Yorkshire. The couple then went on to become parents for the first time in January 2018, when they welcomed son Cooper into the world.

Amy Dowden has marked her birthday with an emotional message amid her battle with cancer.

The Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer is turning 33 years old today, but the celebrations are bittersweet as the star is currently diagnosed with numerous cancer tumours.

Earlier today, Amy took to social media to share her birthday message to her twin sister, Becky.

“Happy birthday to my beautiful, kind, talented twin! @becky_dowden,” she gushed. “Hope your day is as lovely as you and for sure next year we are making up for it! Love you bex and thank you for everything you always do for me.”

The Welsh dancer then went to lament on what this year’s birthday means to her.

“I wasn’t looking forward to this birthday. At the moment any milestone or event is a bigger reminder and hurts. I'm far from what I should and normally doing, in the rehearsal room with my strictly family. But all your wishes this morning have certainly cheered me up,” she admitted.

“This year my birthday wish is for all to take the time to check themselves! @coppafeelpeople have so many useful resources! Doesn’t take long! That’s my birthday wish!” she hoped, as she shared an information sheet on how to spot signs of breast cancer.

“Thank you so much again for all the love and support it really does help and mean so much to me. Welsh love Amy x,” she penned in conclusion.

“Happy birthday to you both!!!” replied singer Fleur East, who was a finalist in last year’s Strictly series.

“Happy birthday you two beautiful,” added fellow pro dancer Nancy Xu.

In June, Amy underwent a mastectomy after being diagnosed with breast cancer. She is now currently receiving chemotherapy for more tumours, and will sadly be unable to take part in this year’s Strictly competition.

Dr. Emma Cunningham, whose impeccable reputation has established her as the go-to advanced aesthetic expert in Ireland, is delighted to launch the world-class advanced Sciton BBL (BroadBand Light) Laser machine into her clinics.

From phenomenal anti-aging skin rejuvenation to banishing hair and blemishes for good, this cutting edge, state-of-the-art technology delivers incredible results at four times the speed of IPL – ensuring that Dr. Emma's clients continue to benefit from the most innovative and transformative aesthetic solutions available on the market.

The Sciton BBL has an outstanding ability to restore, revitalise and very noticeably improve the skin’s overall appearance, with its precise, targeted laser light naturally stimulating the production of collagen to enhance its texture, tone, and elasticity.

Clients will notice a remarkable reduction in the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles as it unveils a naturally refreshed, plump and more youthful looking appearance. This amazing machine can also minimise and even banish pesky sunspots, spider veins, age spots, and unwanted freckles in the process, for a more radiant and even skin tone.

Treatment with this technology is also highly recommended for those that suffer with rosacea. The targeted blood vessels gently coagulate and are absorbed back into the body, in a pain-free process that reduces the inflammation causing redness.

And for those who would like to bid farewell to constant hair removal maintenance – BBL guarantees long-lasting results, eliminating the need for repetitive, time consuming and costly treatments.

The non-invasive nature of BBL allows clients to return to their daily activities immediately following their procedure, with minimal to no downtime required.

Treatment prices start from €350. For more information about Sciton BBL Laser treatments at the Dr Emma Clinics, visit dr-emma.co.uk

A huge recall is being carried out nationwide on popular travel plugs over fear of safety issues. 

Irelands’ Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) has revealed that Luceco PLC has issued a product recall on TAVUK Master plug Travel Plugs. 

The main concern with these travel plugs is due to the risk of electric shock when using the product. 

The brand that is being recalled is MaterPlug and the model of the plus is TAVUK.

The batch numbers of the affected plugs are formatted by the year and week they were manufactured in. For example, 19W09. Batches after 19W09 have been affected by the electric shock issue. 

According to the CCPC website, “The product presents a risk of electric shock. The Type I, Australian socket does not have shutters and as a result gives access to live parts to consumers”.

The products that have been affected by this safety concern were manufactured from 2019 to 2023.

It is believed that there are approximately 43,500 of these travel plugs in the Republic of Ireland. They have been purchased from a number of various retailers.

Consumers that have purchased the affected travel plugs are being advised to stop using the product in order to eliminate the risk of electric shock. 

They can then return the plug to the place they bought it in order to receive a full refund. 

For more information on the product recall, the public can contact MasterPlug by email on technical.support@masterplug.com.

Congratulations are in order for Diana Jenkins as she has welcomed a baby girl into the world. 

The wonderful news of her daughter’s arrival has meant Diana has been inundated with congratulatory messages from her former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills castmates. 

Diana confirmed the exciting news on social media and also revealed her baby girl’s unique name to the world. 

Sharing heartwarming photos of herself, her fiancé Asher Monroe and their new bundle of joy in the hospital to her 159K Instagram followers, Jenkins announced that their daughter is named Elodie Mae Book. 

The former RHOBH star captioned the cute post, “Welcome to the world our sweet little girl. Meet Elodie Mae Book. Born on 8.8.23”.

Floods of well-wishes filled the comment section from fans and former reality co-stars. 

Kyle Richards penned, “OMG I am so happy for all of you!!!”.

“Welcome to the world Beautiful Elodie Mae!!!! Can’t wait to meet you sweet Angel!!”, wrote Lisa Rinna. 

Dorit Kemsley added, “So happy for all of you!!! Welcome to the world beautiful Elodie! Can’t wait to meet you! Sending lots of love to everyone!”.

Diana and Asher are already proud parents to a two-year-old named Eliyanah. She also shares a 22-year-old son, Innis, and 19-year-old daughter, Eneya, with her ex-husband Roger Jenkins.

More than four in five Irish people are concerned about the level of food waste in their household, and 94% of homes are throwing food out, according to new research from SuperValu.

The research was commissioned as part of SuperValu’s Take Local Action, Make Global Impact campaign which aims to showcase the small actions we can all take in our homes, stores and towns to make a collective global impact. SuperValu believe how we live and work together in local communities is crucial to create a more sustainable future for everyone.

Food Waste

Ireland generated a massive 753,000 tonnes of food waste in 2021 according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), of which 29% is from households amounting to a whopping 44kg of food waste per person on an annual basis. Food waste costs the average Irish household about €700 per year. New research commissioned by SuperValu reveals 82% of people in Ireland are concerned about food waste in their household and 80% of those would like to reduce their food waste.

Spoilage, expiration and overbuying are the three most common reasons for food waste in Irish households according to this research. SuperValu is demonstrating as part of their new campaign, Take Local Action, Make Global Impact, how collectively small lifestyle changes can lead to bigger global impacts – that includes the way we shop, store and use food to help reduce food waste. While most people are making a conscious effort to reduce their food waste only 44% said they do a weekly meal plan, 36% said they portion correctly and only 32% regularly use leftovers.

Correct Waste Segregation and Recycling

Along with food waste, people living in Ireland produce more than 14 million tonnes of general waste every year in their homes, places of work and through leisure activities. SuperValu’s research shows that when people are unsure of how to recycle an item 74% dispose of it in the general waste disposal bin (i.e. black bin) and only one in five people always read the recycling labels on the packaging before binning their rubbish. The research also shows that a lack of awareness is causing an issue for recycling as the main barriers to recycling packaging correctly is confusion about how to treat mixed packaging materials, contamination of recyclables with other waste such as food and inconsistent recycling guidelines.

Speaking about the new initiative, Head of Sustainability at SuperValu, Owen Keogh said, “At SuperValu we have an ambition to reach Net Zero carbon by 2040. Our stores have achieved a reduction of 9% in carbon emissions over the past year. At SuperValu we are committed to bringing sustainability into every area of our business and making it easier for our shoppers to make more sustainable choices. Research shows that people want to make changes but sometimes don’t know where to start and that’s why we’ve launched our Take Local Action, Make Global Impact initiative. Across all our digital channels and in-store we will be encouraging and highlighting ways people can take small local actions that can contribute to a global impact; from recipes to help reduce food waste with recycling tips and highlighting in-store the extensive plant-based options and range of locally sourced Irish products.”

As part of the campaign SuperValu have identified some local actions that can make a global impact and are on a mission to help customers build some of these actions into their daily routines.

SuperValu Local Actions

  1. Cut food waste – meal planners and recipes, hack and tips
  2. Recycle as much as possible and recycle correctly
  3. Bring Your Reusable Cup
  4. Grow Your Own Veg – from the garden to the windowsill
  5. Shop local & Irish and in season
  6. One Meat Free Day per Week
  7. Give 1 hour each week to your local Tidy Towns Group
  8. Take action by being more inclusive in your local GAA clubs and community.

As Sustainable Development Goal Champions, first being awarded the title in the 2019-2020 Programme, SuperValu recognise the important role they play in the climate crisis, in their own business, but also with suppliers and customers.

Batiste are shaking up the haircare industry in 2023 with their game-changing Leave-In Dry Conditioner that will take your day two hair to the level. The new Batiste Leave-In Dry Conditioner which contains Aloe Vera and conditioning agents is designed to instantly soften and detangle the hair lengths in between washes, as well as leaving a smooth and glossy shine. So if you're tired of dry, dull, knotty hair between washes, Batiste Leave-In Dry Conditioner is the perfect solution. Specially designed to be applied to hair when dry, a burst of this leave-in conditioner detangles lengths and transforms the ends of your hair, leaving a soft smooth feel and shine on non-wash days.

We asked SHEmazing fans to test it out to see if it really did what it said it would.

Lauren said:

"I have heard of and also seen Batiste many times online or in shops but personally never got a chance to try their products. The packaging is very appealing and simple, it really catches your eye. I found the Batiste Leave-in Dry Conditioner gave my hair the most gorgeous shine ever even though it had been at least 3 to 4 days after washing my hair. (The photos don't do it justice, to be honest)

The product was extremely easy to use and the instructions on the can helped to guide me as I never saw anything about it online before. You shake the can and spray a small amount of the product out into your hands before rubbing your hands together and then running your hands throughout the lengths of your hair avoiding the roots. It worked instantly and left my hair glistening and shining unlike it was before. There are three scents, Original, Blush and Tropical which smell gorgeous.

Overall I would highly recommend this product as I think they're fantastic and can be such a lifesaver when you're busy or caught up in life. They also made my hair feel amazing and so smooth and glowy in a way that I can't keep a few days after washing! Would definitely recommend it."

Sarah said:

"Thanks so much for letting me take part in this trial – I love Batiste Dry Shampoo, but hadn’t had a chance to try the leave in conditioner.

I’m trying really hard to move from regularly washing my hair to leaving it to every third day, but I find it really difficult – in the morning, it’s like I’ve been pulled through a hedge, repeatedly. And it also gets dull and greasy. So it’s a battle every day. Seriously. That said, I know it’s better for my hair, not to mention how much better my colour lasts, so I know it will be worth it in the end if I can space out the washing.

I’ve been using the dry shampoo now for about three months, and I really like it, so I was really excited to try the leave in conditioner. I wasn’t really sure it would give me anything more than the shampoo does, but actually it works really well. When I’m using something like this it has to be easy, and this really was. I followed the instructions and it was simple to apply, it’s not greasy, it’s absorbed super quickly, and there’s no mess or residue left. Winner.

My hair definitely felt softer and looked shinier once I had used it. This result is making it much easier for me to stretch out the days between washing, which is fantastic. I also like that it’s vegan friendly – when I buy beauty products, this is one of the first things I look for. I loved all three scents … maybe if I had to choose I’d go with the tropical flavour. But they really were all lovely.

I will buy it again and I have already recommended to friends and family. This is a no-brainer. Thanks again, Sarah"

"I absolutely love this stuff – it’s made getting ready each morning so much easier. I normally wash my hair every two to three days, but by day three it’s looking a bit wrecked. With the Leave-In Dry Conditioner it just completely revives it (check out the pics – just perfect), and not just for the day, it’s actually good to go the following day too. Really impressed.

It’s simple to use, the instructions are straightforward, and a little goes a long way. I loved the smell, and how the product was completely absorbed. It didn’t leave any residue and left my hair significantly softer and with a lovely shine. I will buy it again. I would recommend it. 10/10 for Batiste!!"

Emily said:

"I know Batiste really well having often used their dry shampoo, hadn’t heard of the Leave in Dry Conditioner before seeing it on SHEmazing, so I was looking forward to giving it a go. 

When I got around to testing the Leave In Conditioner, my hair was definitely due a wash, so it really got a good test. I’m thrilled with the results. From scraggly hair that I wouldn’t go out without washing, it has been transformed into smooth, shiny and soft tresses. This means I can extend the life between washes another day – woo hoo! I tried the original scent and it smelled fab. I’ve smelled the other ones and they’re fab too. When I run out I will buy it to use again, and I will be telling my friends about it. I love it."

It’s fair to say the SHEmazing fans have given the seal of approval for the new Batiste Leave-In Dry Conditioner.

Nicola Roberts has opened up about life after the death of her bandmate.

Girls Aloud star Sarah Harding tragically passed away in September 2021 at the age of 39, after being diagnosed with breast cancer.

Following the loss of their friend and bandmate, the remaining members of Girls Aloud – Kimberley Walsh, Nadine Coyle, Nicola Roberts and Cheryl – came together for several events to raise money for breast cancer.

Now, almost two years on from Sarah’s death, Nicola has chosen to open up about how the star’s death has impacted the rest of the band.

Speaking on The Red Carpet Treatment podcast with host Jordan Stephens, the 37-year-old revealed how Sarah’s passing brought the group back together, following their split in 2013.

“I think that what we went through as a five was massive in itself. That bonds you in ways where, even with your own siblings, you don't really get that 24/7,” Nicola explained.

“To go through something where you lost part of you is on a completely different scale. Life is so fragile. It's fragile for anybody, it doesn't matter who you are or what you do,” she continued.

Nicola then went on to recall the band’s previous wins at the BRIT Awards. 

“Even going back to that BRITs moment, like, how vivacious and full of life and she was so, talking about authenticity, Sarah very much was authentic in who she was. Didn't try to be anyone else, never tried to turn herself down, and wasn't even aware of the fact that she should maybe do that in certain settings,” she teased.

“She was fully who she was all the time. And for that, I always admired her,” Nicola concluded lovingly.

Last year, it was confirmed that the Girls Aloud stars raised over £1 million for breast cancer research. The singers hosted a fundraising gala inspired by Sarah, titled The Primrose Ball, before going on to release a charity nightwear collection with Primark.

In July 2022, the bandmates also hosted a charity fun run, named Race For Life For Sarah in honour of the late star.
