The beverage, priced at more than £65 for a minimum three-bottle order, had only appeared to be available for US customers to buy, with shipping addresses limited to America.

'Happy tears': Jessie J reveals breast cancer surgery was a success
Singer Jessie J has revealed her breast cancer surgery was a success and that the disease has not spread. In a post on Instagram, the 37-year-old said she was crying 'happy tears'. The Price Tag singer announced in June that she had been diagnosed with early breast cancer and was undergoing surgery. Sharing a video of her son saying 'mummy's going to be okay' before her surgery, she wrote: 'And… I AM OK'. She added that her results showed her cancer had not spread and thanked everyone for their well wishes. In good humour, she continued: 'Lots of healing to go and one more surgery to make these cousins looks more like sisters. 'But for now its gratitude time.' Signing the post off, she joked that she was changing her name to 'The LopJess Monster'. Jessie J has been open about her diagnosis and has regularly posted updated about her recovery on social media. Last week, she said it had been 'nice to slow down', but it is 'still uncomfortable' and a 'little painful'. The singer-songwriter, best known for her number one songs Domino, Price Tag, and Bang Bang, performed at Capital's Summertime Ball at Wembley Stadium on June 15 and made an emotional speech promising to 'beat breast cancer' in her final performance before her surgery. She said: 'I feel so proud to be feeling OK, to be this honest person where you say what you feel, and this being my last show before I go and have surgery.' The artist has faced ill health throughout her life, having been diagnosed with a heart condition aged eight, suffering a minor stroke aged 18 and having briefly gone deaf in 2020.

Jack recently opened up about his battle with his weight, confessing to going days without eating fighting back Heartbroken Jack Fincham reveals cruel 'loved one' branded him 'a fat 33 year old loser' as he makes boxing comeback Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) JACK Fincham has revealed a cruel 'loved one' once branded him a 'fat 33-year-old loser' as he makes his boxing career comeback. Love Island legend Jack, 34, has battled a number of crippling personal issues in recent years, having opened up about living with bulimia for two decades as well as his addictions to drugs, alcohol and gambling. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Jack has shared the cruel words he was subjected to by a 'loved one' Credit: Louis Wood 5 The Love Island legend recently confessed he's been living with bulimia for two decades Credit: Instagram 5 He's now working hard to relaunch his boxing career Credit: Instagram Despite the hurdles, he's been working hard to relaunch his boxing career and recently revealed he'd signed a new contract with a sports management company. Now Jack has shared the heartbreaking reason behind his determination to turn his life around. Writing on Instagram, he said: 'I got called a fat 33 year old loser, a s*** boxer and everybody knows I'm s***. 'Imagine that from a 'loved one'. Only makes me have more heart and determination. 'I'll never stop training as hard as I can and I will reach my goal of southern area champion in professional boxing.' Jack added: 'Hurt my feelings but [I'm] using that as fuel. The backing I have, I can't lose now. My trainers believe in me so I believe in myself. Sticks and stones.' Opening up about his long battle with bulimia recently, Jack told how he'd go days without eating and, at one point, weighed just over eight stone. Speaking exclusively to The Sun, he said: 'I have been a bulimic for 19 years, bingeing on food and then being sick. 'There have been days when I have ordered a McDonald's breakfast on Uber Eats, then gone to the Co-op and bought 12 bags of salt- and-vinegar McCoy's crisps, then had bags and bags of fizzy belt sweets. 'I have had two large Domino's pizzas with all the sides. It makes me feel ashamed. Jack Fincham reveals been secretly battling bulimia for 20 years "There have been so many times that I have gone to the garage and got the same thing — a Ginsters Cornish pasty, one of their peppered steak slices, a sausage roll, bags of sweets and more McCoy's. 'I'd eat it all, then go to the downstairs toilet at my mum's — because nobody could hear me, as it was in the hall, next to the front door. I know it's gross, but for years I didn't actually think I had a problem.' He added: "I'd go three days with hardly any food and was so starving, my mum asked my boxing club if I could eat. 'They told her I could have a jacket potato with beans. I weighed just 52kg." Jack won Love Island in 2018 with ex-girlfriend Dani Dyer. The couple split just nine months later. Since then Jack has been in an on/off relationship with former Towie star Chloe Brockett, with him confirming last month they'd split for the eighth time. 5 Jack won Love Island with ex-girlfriend Dani Dyer in 2018 Credit: Shutterstock
