A Wimbledon fan ditched cream for Garlic & Herb Dip on their strawberries
The bold tennis enthusiast turned heads in the Wimbledon queue - by dipping the much-loved strawberries into a tub of Domino's dip.
Clara Jennings, 29, from Guildford, confused fellow spectators as she tucked into the unusual combo while lining up to get into the global tennis tournament.
She said: 'Everyone does cream - I wanted something different. Sweet, savoury, and a little bit weird… but it works!
'I brought it as a bit of a laugh, but honestly, people loved it. I think I've started something.'

Reactions ranged from horrified to curious, with some even asking for a taste.
One fellow tennis fan said: "I had to double take when I saw it, but I think it's pretty gross.
'Strawberries and cream are a match made in heaven - this dip should be reserved for pizza, and only pizza.'
But Jennifer Holmes, from London disagreed, saying: "I'm all for the sweet and savoury mix - someone has to start the trend, take peanut butter and jelly for example, that started with confusion but then went on to take the world by storm."
Wimbledon is reported to get through more than 1.9 million strawberries every year, as fans flock from around the globe for the beloved snack.
This equates to a staggering 200,000 portions enjoyed each year during the Championships.
They're drizzled in more than 7,000 litres of cream, although that number may drop slightly, if the bizarre Garlic & Herb Dip trend catches on.
The price for a portion of strawberries and cream has remained the same since 2010 - at just £2.50 for a serving.
One thing that has changed in recent years, is a plant-based cream for vegans, made available at certain outlets around the facility.
A spokesperson for Domino's, said: 'When this popped up on our Instagram, it was the first time we've seen someone enjoying our dip with strawberries!
'How people enjoy our Garlic & Herb Dip is up to them - after all, lots of strange combinations were only strange until someone tried them.
'Perhaps next year we'll see raspberries dipped into BBQ Sauce, or bananas drizzled with Honey and Mustard.
'Brits are renowned for their sense of individualism, and there's nothing more British than Wimbledon, so keep your eyes peeled.'

Josh Taylor, former undisputed champion, announces retirement from boxing due to eye injury
Scotland's Josh Taylor has been forced to call time on his storied career. Taylor, 34, announced his retirement from professional boxing on Monday morning due to a recurring eye injury. "The Tartan Tornado" says he was advised by doctors to hang up his gloves or risk losing his eyesight. Taylor (19-3, 13 KOs) was the first four-belt undisputed champion from Britain. He won the World Boxing Super Series (WBSS) in 2019, which included wins over IBF super lightweight champion Ivan Baranchyk and WBA titleist Regis Prograis. After emerging out of the WBSS with two belts, Taylor chased the other two titles — held by Jose Ramirez — by signing with Ramirez's promoter, Bob Arum's Top Rank. Taylor ultimately defeated Ramirez in 2021 in Las Vegas to unify the four 140-pound belts. Since then, however, Taylor's career has been nothing short of a nightmare. The Scotsman announced his homecoming title defense against little-known mandatory challenger Jack Catterall. In the opinion of many, Catterall deserved to win on the scorecards on that February 2022 night in Glasgow, but was denied the verdict after a heavily disputed decision went in favor of the local fighter. Taylor gave up three of his championships attempting to make a rematch with Catterall, but that failed, and then he was ordered to defend his WBO belt against Teofimo Lopez. Lopez took Taylor's final title by unanimous decision in 2023. A deal was finally reached for a much-anticipated Taylor vs. Catterall rematch following that defeat — and this time the judges did get it right. Catterall was awarded the decision over Taylor in Leeds, England, in the rematch. Looking for a fresh start after essentially three defeats on the bounce, Taylor moved up to welterweight earlier this year and signed with Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions to undergo one final run in his career. Essuman, however, outworked and outfought Taylor to hand him another defeat. Although Taylor's retirement officially comes due to an eye injury, the trajectory of his career was heading in that direction anyway. Taylor's journey to capturing all of the belts at super lightweight was special, and he will hope that is his legacy in the sport.

Paul Gascoigne 'back home and doing well' after hospital visit, representative says
LONDON (AP) — Former England midfielder Paul Gascoigne is back home and 'doing well' after being hospitalized over the weekend, his representative said Monday. 'Paul voluntarily went into A&E on Friday after struggling with a throat condition he has had for a while,' Carly Saward at The MNT talent agency told The Associated Press in an email. 'He is already back home and doing well.' British newspaper The Sun reported that the 58-year-old Gascoigne had been found 'semi-conscious' at home by a friend on Friday in Poole in south England and initially been admitted to an intensive care unit. Gascoigne helped lead England to the semifinals at the 1990 World Cup and 1996 European Championship and was widely considered one of the most naturally talented players of his generation. But he has battled alcohol addiction for decades and has also had other health problems in recent years. ___ AP soccer:
