Coronation Street star concerns fans as they pull out of event after emergency

A Coronation Street star was due to appear at London Film and Comic-Con this weekend, but pulled out due to a family emergency Coronation Street star Craig Charles concerned fans after he pulled out of his scheduled appearance at London Film and Comic-Con this weekend. The 60-year-old actor is best known for playing Lloyd Mullaney for a decade on the long-running soap, but was due to appear at the event for his Red Dwarf character, Dave Lister. The star was due to appear alongside Red Dwarf co-stars Danny John-Jules, Robert Llewellyn and Hattie Hayridge. Taking to their Facebook page, London Film and Comic-Con wrote: "We contacted Craig at 9am to be told that due to a family emergency, he would not be in until 11am. At 11.30am we spent 20 minutes knocking on his hotel room door where there was no answer. ‌ ‌ "His Red Dwarf colleagues were able to contact him at 12.30, where he confirmed he was ill and unable to attend. These are the facts. "The Group shot will go ahead with Danny, Robert and Hattie, and ticket holders will receive an automatic £60 refund to allow for the change of lineup. If anybody does not want the group shot, any unused tickets will automatically be refunded after the show." Not long after the post was shared, Craig took to his X/ Twitter to apologise to fans, writing: "I'd just like to say sorry to showmasters and the fans at comicon. I made it to the hotel but woke up at 3 this morning with stomach pains. "I then proceeded to be violently ill for hours. Not a pretty sight. I tried to see if it would wear off but at 10 am I called it off and came back to Manchester. "I'm feeling slightly better now, and I'm drinking lots of water and electrolytes. Again sorry for the cancellation and I look forward to next time." ‌ Fans rushed to the comment section to share their support, with one fan posting: "Hope you feel better. "You don't have anything to apologise for trust me someone that just got food poisoning two days ago I know exactly what you mean by coming down with something very quickly." Another concerned fans posted: "Take care of yourself. I've been watching you as Dave Lister since I was a child, Red Dwarf was and is still my favorite show. ‌ "Lister inspired my love for curry and good tunes. It may be sad, but you were the closest thing I had to a father figure. Love from America, my guy." One commented: "As long as you're on the mend that's the main thing." Red Dwarf is a sci-fi comedy that aired between 1988 and 1999, which follows technician Dave Lister, who awakens after being suspended animation for three million years to find that he is the last living human and that he's alone on the mining spacecraft.

Shoppers spot new Butterkist flavour on shelves after launching never-before-seen cinema snack

Shoppers rush to supermarkets after spotting surprising twist on classic movie snack POPPING OFF Shoppers spot new Butterkist flavour on shelves after launching never-before-seen cinema snack Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SHOPPERS have been going wild after spotting a never-before-seen flavour of Butterkist popcorn on shelves. Fans have taken to Facebook to share snaps of the new Crunchy Cookies & Cream flavour, confirming that it's now available in Morrisons. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 CHEAP TREAT TUCK into these moreish Butterkist cookies and cream flavour popcorn, £2, from Morrisons. Credit: Morrisons The exciting new snack is made with toffee popcorn coated in crunchy cookies and cream pieces – and it's already got people talking. One eagle-eyed shopper posted a photo of the bag online, sending fans into a frenzy. One user commented: 'I need to taste it,' while another said: 'Looks delicious.' Others were quick to tag their mates, urging them to keep a lookout in their local store. The new popcorn flavour follows Butterkist's announcement last month that it would be launching a fresh product to coincide with summer movie nights. The brand confirmed that the Crunchy Cookies & Cream variety would be rolling out to stores from early July. Butterkist's Senior Brand Manager, Rachel Rayner, said at the time: 'At Butterkist, we are always looking for ways to delight our customers with new and exciting flavours. So, we are thrilled to announce our latest addition of Crunchy Cookies & Cream Popcorn! The perfect sweet treat, we can't wait for our customers to taste this delicious new flavour and make it a part of every special occasion, whether that's a family movie night or an afternoon pick-me-up.' I tried crazy food mash-ups like tuna/Marmite & popcorn & chilli sauce… a mad combo tasted vile – so would you try them? True to their word, shoppers have now found the snack stocked at Morrisons, both in store and online. A 155g bag is listed on the Morrisons website, retailing for £2. The product is expected to appear in other major supermarkets including Sainsbury's, Asda, and Co-op over the coming weeks, so fans across the UK should keep their eyes peeled. The sweet treat has arrived just in time for summer, as many look for fun, new snacks to enjoy during picnics, holidays, and cosy nights in. Judging by the reaction online, this new flavour could be a big hit. It's not the only seasonal trend grabbing shoppers' attention either. TK Maxx has already started rolling out Halloween items, with tea towels, blankets, and cushions spotted in stores as early as July. One shopper in Doncaster said: 'It's starting,' while others said they'd seen spooky stock popping up in Preston and Oldham. How to save money on chocolate We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar. Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs... Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars. Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere. Websites like let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal. Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced. They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged. Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar. So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger

Shoppers spot new Marmite flavour back on shelves months after it was axed as discontinued spread returns

The popular staple has made a stunning return LOVE IT Shoppers spot new Marmite flavour back on shelves months after it was axed as discontinued spread returns Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SHOPPERS have spotted a new Marmite flavour back on the shelves just months after it was axed. Unilever, which makes Marmite, discontinued the popular cupboard staple last year leaving shoppers very unhappy. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Marmite caused upset to shoppers last year by discontinuing a popular product Credit: Getty - Contributor 2 But Marmite Peanut Butter has made a stunning return to shop shelves Credit: Alamy But now Marmite Peanut Butter has made a stunning return to the shelves and it's here to stay. The nutty and yeasty breakfast spread first appeared on shelves in 2019 causing a stir, but was discontinued nine months ago. However, The Sun reported last month that Unilever has reintroduced it to shelves with shoppers able to pick it up from Tesco, Sainsbury's and Ocado. We've also spotted the 225g tub on sale at Co-op too. Alongside Tesco, they're selling it for £3 while Ocado is stocking it for £3.50 and Sainsbury's for £3.35. And fans have already starting clocking the returning favourite on supermarket shelves. One eagle-eyed shopper shared their find on Facebook group Food Finds UK. They shared an image of the product alongside the caption "spotted in Sainsbury's!" Excited customers flocked to the comments to express their excitement at the beloved spread's return. One said: "Oh yes, it's back! "I was gutted when they stopped making it and tried several ways to make my own but it never tasted the same." "Wow it's back, I heard it wasn't getting made anymore," exclaimed another. "Fantastic it's back as I love it!" A third customer added: "My favourite snack, it's perfect for a quick snack or adding some crunch to your meals. We've outdone ourselves with this one' say Cadbury Ireland as they reveal new limited edition bar 'coming soon "The price seems really reasonable too." Unilever confirmed it had axed Marmite Peanut Butter last September with a spokesperson adding: "We're always reviewing our ranges to make sure our products reflect shopper preferences, whilst also focusing on new innovations." "Whilst we will no longer be making Marmite peanut butter, we are working on some new and exciting launches within our licensing range to bring our iconic Marmite flavour to shoppers in new ways and formats." Retailers and manufacturers regularly discontinue products and items based on customer sales and trends. Marmite Peanut Butter is not the only comeback we've seen recently either. From an iconic retro sweet to a nostalgic noughties chocolate bar, a whole host of discontinued snacks and drinks are returning to UK shelves this month.
