Lidl is even offering to provide its pickle cola truck for the singer's upcoming wedding - supplying friends and family. Last year saw the supermarket launch its big red Freeway Truck which drove across the country in the run up to Christmas, giving away 2,000 present boxes.

Boxing icon Butterbean sends fight offer to Jake Paul after shedding over 200lbs
Butterbean has sent a direct message to Jake Paul, telling the YouTube star that he is "coming for him" following his unanimous decision victory over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr Butterbean has threatened to come out of retirement as he issued a bold challenge to Jake Paul, following his body transformation. The ex-boxer, whose real name is Eric Esch, hasn't fought since his 2013 defeat to Kirk Lawton. However, the 58-year-old insists he is ready to return, but for one fight only. In an Instagram video promoting Lucky Energy, the former heavyweight champion claims that Paul "runs his damn mouth too much" and mocks him for only being able to fight "retired bald men" - which is a likely dig at his controversial win over Mike Tyson. The video showcases Butterbean's collaboration with the energy drink company and his 'Knockout Punch' flavour. In the skit, a Paul lookalike responds to the challenge before getting hit by a wheelchair, thrown by Butterbean's fake promoter, Mr Lucky. This new callout comes after Problem Child's recent improvement to a 12-1 record, following a unanimous decision victory over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr on Saturday night. Although Paul made several callouts post-fight, he did not respond to a match with Butterbean. Despite the likely comedic intent behind Butterbean's challenge as part of an advert, it isn't the first time the ex-boxer has tried to square off with Paul in the ring. Before the highly anticipated bout between Tyson and Paul in November 2024, Butterbean revealed he was prepared to step into the ring with the 28-year-old if necessary. In a TikTok video posted just before the fight, the former heavyweight champ said: "Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, I am going to be at the fight to challenge the winner of the fight, Yeah. Mike, if you fall out again, I'll be there to take your place." Butterbean first expressed his desire to take on the Problem Child back in March 2022 when Paul had an undefeated record of 5-0, having beaten the likes of Tyron Woodley, Ben Askren, and Nate Robinson. Discussing his impressive weight loss and return to training after retirement, Butterbean said: "I'm working with DDP (Diamond Dallas Page) to get up walking and running around again and I'm feeling the best shape I ever have. "I'm at fight weight. You'll have to listen to my podcast coming up to find exactly how much weight I have lost, but I haven't weighed this in over 20 years so that'll give you an idea. "The big announcement is I'm gonna fight one last fight. It's gonna be one year from now. Jake Paul, if you're ready, I'm here for you my friend. Let's get it on, me and you Jake Paul. I bet it would be an awesome fight. After you said what you said about me in the magazine, I'm ready to fight you. Are you ready? I don't think so." There have been many more callouts since then, but the duo have not yet met to discuss the terms of what could be a sensational showdown in the sport. However, Butterbean's recent jibe at the young fighter might just be the catalyst needed to bring them together in the ring for possibly the most unusual fight to date.

Protesters behind viral Jeff Bezos dummy unveil real meaning behind their stunt
The creators behind the viral Jeff Bezos dummy has revealed the reason why they pulled the eye-catching stunt ahead of the billionaire's wedding to Lauren Sanchez Billionaire Jeff Bezos ' Venetian wedding to Lauren Sanchez has been an event defined by celebs, a multi-million-pound budget and – most of all – hijinks. Now the creators behind the viral protest has revealed the meaning behind it. The protest group Konn Artiss were responsible for the creation of the Jeff Bezos dummy, which went viral after they pushed it into one of the Venetian canals online. In an iconic video which quickly spread online, a hapless-looking dummy of the billionaire can be seen clinging onto an Amazon package, with wads of cash clutched in his hands. This came with other similarly eye-catching stunts by the group, such as rowing down the canal with dummies of both Jeff and Lauren in their wedding outfits. Notably, the dummy of Jeff on the boat held a piece of cardboard with 'Amazon' stamped on it. The video gained over 344K views on TikTok and was played to the tune of comedic singer Bo Burnham's hit, 'Bezos I.' Commenters called for Amazon boycotts and praised the use of humour in the video. One said: "Boycott Amazon!!! I haven't missed it at all," while another added, "Bravo to the Italians." Although, not all reactions were supportive. Under a clip of the dummy being pushed into the water on X, reactions were mixed. While some praised the group for their stunt, with some commenters accusing the protesters of being 'jealous' and 'rude'. Others expressed that they didn't understand the motive behind the protest. 'I appreciate the Bezos hate, but I don't understand the protest,' one wrote. However, in a recent TikTok, the anonymous protest group said that their intention wasn't to ruin or disrupt Bezos' wedding – but rather to raise awareness for a greater issue. They wrote: 'This was never about Bezos… It was about balance. "I didn't do it to ruin a wedding… And I don't believe Bezos lost any sleep over it. I did it because the world only looks when… Something breaks the pattern.' By pattern, it appears they were attempting to do something eye-catching and out-of-the-ordinary to bring attention to issues around wealth inequality. Help us improve our content by completing the survey below. We'd love to hear from you! Konn Artiss are a collection of 'merry misfits' that have likened themselves to a Robin Hood-like figures. On their web page, they claim: 'Konn challenges societal norms through provocative stunts and striking installations, consistently highlighting inequality and advocating for positive social change.' Ahead of the wedding on Friday, Konn Artiss told Metro: 'We are not protesting love, we are protesting luxury without accountability. It is a spectacle of excess when we live in a time when the gap between the richest and poorest is getting bigger.' They also pointed out that Venice is a working class city, where the working class 'cannot pay their bills'. Yet they say Jeff Bezos is allowed to behave as though he is 'a Roman Emperor.' Their protests came off the back of other demonstrations, such as that by Greenpeace and UK political campaign group "Everyone hates Elon". Ahead of the wedding, they unfolded a giant banner in central St Mark's Square, Venice, with a picture of Bezos laughing and a sign reading: "If you can rent Venice for your wedding you can pay more tax." Local police later rolled up the banner, as reported by Reuters.

Warning for women being lured to Dubai 'Porta-Potty' parties with £3k gifts
The events, allegedly orchestrated by wealthy men, target young models and social media influencers. Women visiting Dubai has been warned against being lured to "Porta-Potty" parties with surprise gifts of up to £3,000. The events, allegedly orchestrated by wealthy men, target young models and social media influencers with promises of large sums of money, designer gifts, and luxury hotel stays. However, the reality behind the opulence is far more sinister, involving reports of extreme sexual humiliation and physical abuse. Shockingly, the women involved in these parties could even find themselves prosecuted. Radha Stirling, CEO of Detained in Dubai, has warned that women involved in these parties - even against their will - could face charges of adultery or indecency, especially if married men are present. As reported in the Mirror, she said: "Sex outside marriage has been legalised in Dubai, but organisers have exploited this. Women think they're attending a private party - instead, they're thrown into horrific, dangerous situations with real legal risk." Awareness was raised about the matter after an influencer shared on TikTok that a stranger she met at the gym had showered her with expensive gifts - raising questions about the true cost of such apparent generosity. Jade, who goes by @outplayedbyjade online, is originally from France but travelled to Dubai as she documented her trip online. In the video, she explained how she had been leaving the gym when workers approached her with a gift from someone she had met on the treadmill. She said: "I didn't think much of it." A worker handed her a bouquet of flowers and chocolate from the man she had struck up a conversation with. Flattered, she texted the number he had left with the gift to thank him, after which she then received a call from a shop assistant at the luxury jewellery designer store Van Cleef & Arpels. She went on: "I'm a very curious girl, so I make my way over to the shop. This assistant pulls out a beautiful bracelet and a matching necklace." All together, the gifts were worth around £3,000. While Jade was over the moon with her gifts, fans were quick to warn the influencer that the man was a "professional" and to "be careful" amid reports of men recruiting women for " Porta-Parties" in Dubai. An alleged victim is Maria Kovalchuk, a 20-year-old Ukrainian adult model, who was reportedly left for dead after attending one of these events. The young woman vanished after telling her mother she'd been invited to stay overnight with two men claiming to be modelling agents. She never made her flight to Thailand. Ten days later, on March 19, she was found dumped at the roadside i n Dubai, suffering from a shattered spine, broken limbs, and severe internal injuries. Maria has undergone multiple surgeries, and her family, now at her bedside, are desperate for answers. It's thought she is still recovering from her injuries. Dubai Police confirmed that Maria is receiving medical care, but claimed she 'entered a restricted construction site alone and fell from a height'. A statement many find hard to accept, given the disturbing rumours swirling around her disappearance. Russian lawyer Katya Gordon, who has followed the case closely, bluntly alleged: "Model Maria Kovalchuk was found dying on the side of the road in the UAE after a party. The scandal with the Porta Potty parties has been raging for over a year." Gordon and others allege that Maria may have been forced to take part in a sex act involving human faeces - a central theme of these " Porta-Potty" events, where humiliation and abuse are part of the package. These parties reportedly involve women being paid vast sums of money to perform grotesque acts involving bodily fluids, degradation and pain. Viral videos have helped expose this shadowy world, but the abuse is largely hidden by Dubai's shiny reputation and strict censorship laws. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

With the rise of "Porta-Potty" stories, experts have warned of red flags to watch out for when travelling to Dubai: Avoid entering private hotel rooms, villas, or yachts with strangers, especially late at night. Understand the legal risks: Dubai has strict laws, and foreign women can still be charged with public indecency, adultery or prostitution, even if coerced. Never agree to travel alone to private parties or accept all-expenses-paid trips without vetting the in regularly with friends or family, and always share your location. Beware of unverified agents offering large sums of money for vague modelling work. Maria's mother told Ukrainian media: "She has no documents, no phone, nothing. She's had three operations. She can't speak. We were told she went to a party, but the promoter claims he never saw her. We're terrified of what really happened."
