April is Testicular Cancer Awareness month, and as with breast cancer, the easiest way to detect abnormalities early is to regularly check yourself.

Comedian Jack Vale wanted to make men more aware of the importance of checking their 'nads, so he hit the streets to see just how familiar guys (and girls) are with that particular part of the body.

How? By blindfolding unsuspecting volunteers and asking them to identify some "everyday objects", one of which just so happens to be… well… a pair of balls. There's no delicate way to write that, is there?

Take a look and prepare to cringe heavily.

Ed Sheeran has teamed up with Elmo, Cookie Monster and co. for the ultimate gig.

Everyone from Zac Efron to One Direction have featured on the kids' show, and now Ed has stepped up to the Sesame Street challenge.

The song – about the difference between life at home and at school – is fairly corny, but the Thinking Out Loud singer makes a solid effort.

He has officially reached peak adorableness!

Smart and pretty Bianca Piper (Mae Whitman) is enjoying her senior year in high school with best friends Jess (Skyler Samuels) and Casey (Bianca A. Santos); that is until she realises she has been unknowingly dubbed The DUFF – Designated Ugly Fat Friend – of her group by the rest of the school.

How many times a day do we belittle our bodies? It's more than we would care to admit, more often than not. 

From 'too fat' to 'too skinny' and all 10,000 problems inbetween, it's incredible just how mean we can be about ourselves and how we look. 

Now, Dove have created a video that shows us just what it looks like when we say these things about ourselves – by getting an actress to say them to someone in public. 

This is a very powerful and important message and we hope we remember it the next time a negative thought enter our mind.

A female comic has decided to hit back at a stand-up comedian who publicly ridiculed her during a comedy show recorded for Comedy Central.

Damienne Merlina bore the brunt of Ari Shaffir's vicious jibes regarding her personality, appearance and disability during a recent stand-up performance, but the courageous Damienne refused to take his bullying sitting down.

In a segment of his piece Ali Shaffir claimed the comic and actress smelled as a  result of not washing and then pretended to wash "under the belly folds" using only one arm in a performance which Damienne felt had no place in comedy.

Calling out the stand-up on his cruel jibes and unnecessary venom, Damienne released a video of her reaction to Ali Shaffir's attack on her.

Becoming tearful and emotional at some points in the clip, Damienne eventually finishes with a very specific message for Ari Shaffir.

And we LOVE her for it.

If, like us, you're planning on using Daylight Saving Time as a reason to get your burn on after work from now on, then perhaps this video will be your inspiration.

As the evenings start getting brighter for longer, it'll be tough to continue using cold dark nights as an excuse to stay on the couch and ditch your gym class or evening jog, right?

But after losing out on an hours sleep and having a hard few days on some much-deserved vino this weekend, you're probably feeling less than motivated right now.

Well, check out this video put together by Benenden Health which celebrates women getting their burn on since the dawn of the 20th century.

If they can do it in floor-length skirts we can do it in our snazzy work-out gear, right?!

We reckon this basketball player may have left this press conference with a number or two.

The Wisconsin player, Nigel Hayes turned to his fellow team mates to gush about a reporter in the room, saying: “God, she’s beautiful.”

Unfortunately for Nigel, he didn’t realise everyone in the room would hear and when laughter erupts he shyly asks: “Did you all hear that?” before covering his face with hands.

Too cute – well played, Nigel!

There's nothing more satisfying that taking something delicious out of the oven, smug in the knowledge that you made it yourself and that it's going to be downright delicious.

It's not always that easy though – when it comes to finding all the correct ingredients and getting the measurements exactly right, sometimes it seems easier just to buy something off the shelf instead.

That's why we love the new Boutique Bake range, the brainchild of Irish best friends Suzanne and Catherine, who saw a gap in the market for bread and cake mixes that are easy to whip up but still taste as if they are made from scratch.

From gooey chocolate brownies and zingy lemon drizzle cake to rustic brown bread, there's something for everyone – and the results are mouth-wateringly good.

S! TV's Niamh Geaney headed to the kitchen with Catherine and Suzanne to find out more – check out the video above!
