Wendy's set to make a major change to iconic menu item

Metro15-05-2025
It might be known for its square hamburgers, fries and chili but there's another part of the Wendy's menu that has kept fans flocking through the door for decades. The American fast food chain, which has been in existence since 1969, has also found fame for the Frosty - a frozen dairy dessert which was launched as part of the original menu. But while it remains as popular as ever, it's undergone a radical change (Picture: Getty Images) Currently, the Frosty is available in chocolate or vanilla flavour, with the dessert being known for being thick enough to eat with a spoon but smooth enough to drink through a straw. However those seeking something a little different to the usual Frosty flavours have had their patience rewarded with the arrival of two new variations - Frosty Swirls and Frosty Fusions (Picture:for Wendy's) Frosty Swirls feature new sauces allowing you to customise your Frosty - with strawberry, caramel and brownie batter to choose from. These launched in the US last month but are now being joined by Frosty Fucions, special 'mix-ins' which allow you to customise your sweet treat even more (Picture: The Wendy's Company) Options include Pop-Tarts Strawberry Frosty Fusion - featuring Pop-tart pieces - Oreo Brownie Frosty Fusion with chunks of Oreo cookie, and Caramel Crunch, allowing you to blend your Frosty with toffee pieces. The new desserts will not only be served in a special new cup with a domed lid, but will also come complete with a blue spoon which allows customers to get every last bit out (Picture: The Wendy's Company)
Lindsay Radkoski, U.S. Chief Marketing Officer for The Wendy's Company, said: 'Frosty has been on Wendy's menu for 55 years and is one of the most iconic frozen treats in American culture. We're expanding on our beloved Frosty so when a sweet tooth strikes, the choice is easy for consumers: It's Gotta Be Wendy's' (Picture: Getty Images) 'We know consumers are always on the lookout for new flavors and ways to customize their order with sauces and mix-ins. We can't wait for everyone to experience even more ways to enjoy our iconic Frosty!' (Picture: Getty Images) Wendy's isn't the only chain to switch up its menu recently, mind. McDonald's in the UK has also added some new sweet treats as we head towards summer with the return of the Biscoff McFlurry, as well as the Biscoff frappe, both featuring a generous serving of the popular biscuit (Picture:) The fast food chain has also added a cherry lemonade to its drink offerings - a blend of frozen lemonade with a cherry swirl which is described as 'the perfect refreshing drink to take on a sunny stroll' (Picture: McDonald's)

Pascal's latest role sees him take on the character of comic book hero Reed Richards. ‌ It is a part that is being tipped to take over Robert Downey Jr's Tony Stark as the leader of the Avengers. What that really entails, fans will have to wait until July 25 when the film is released on the big screen around the UK. ‌ But who is Pedro Pascal? What was his early career like that got him where he is today and what has been reported about dating rumours regarding the actor? Here's all you need to know. Who is Pedro Pascal? Full name, José Pedro Balmaceda Pascal is a Chilean and American actor born on April 2, 1975. He has an older sister who is a film and TV producer, a younger brother and a younger sister who is an actress and transgender activist. ‌ Pascal has also been vocal in support for his sister and transgender community. He courted some controversy for comments in calling out Harry Potter author J.K Rowling. Posting on Instagram, he referred to her as a 'heinous loser' for her views on the topic. Earlier in his life, hIs parents were listed as enemies of the state by the Pinochet regime in Chile when they took power and the family eventually fled Chile when he was nine months old. The family initially received asylum in Denmark before relocating to the US and Pedro would grow up in Texas and then California. He studied acting at the Orange County School of the Arts and New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, graduating in 1997. ‌ What was Pedro Pascal's early career like? Pedro Pascal refers to the time early in his career as his 'give up' years. Believing if he hadn't made it past the age of 29 then the industry was not for him, he came close to quitting a number of times. He waited tables to make money and said the dog he owned at the time saved his life. However, whenever he told friends and family he was close to quitting they would . His older sister says they knew he wanted to act from when Pedro was four years old and was too good to give up. The difficulty of this time was expounded by the death of his mother Veronica. He ended up chasing his stage name to Pascal, in honour of her and as he thought it was easier to pronounce for Americans than his paternal name of Balmaceda. ‌ While he earned a number of small roles in TV and film from 1999, it wasn't until 2014 when cast as Oberyn Martell where he made a huge impression on audiences around the world. Appearing in seven episodes for the show's fourth season, his arrival, presence and shocking death scene made a massive impact and proved to be a crucial career breakthrough.

Those roles however have included the lead in Netflix series Narcos as well as Star Wars series The Mandalorian and HBO's The Last of US. He has also featured in films such as Wonder Woman 1984, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent and Gladiator II. ‌ This year, alongside Fantastic Four he will also feature in modern western Eddington as well as romantic comedy Materialists opposite Dakota Johnson. With his recent success, Parade magazine estimates his net worth at around $10 million. Does Pedro Pascal struggle with anxiety? Pedro Pascal has been vocal about his struggles with anxiety. It is something he has said he has dealt with since he was a child. In an interview with co-star Bella Ramsey while the pair were promoting The Last of Us, he told them how developed the habit of keeping a hand on his stomach, usually while walking the red carpet and having his pictures taken as a coping mechanism. ‌ His fellow castmates have also been seen helping him with this, as fellow Fantastic Four star Vanessa Kirby was spotted several times holding his hand during public appearances to help him. Who is Pedro Pascal rumoured to be dating? Pedro Pascal also his dating life seemingly under wraps. This of course has not stopped the star from being subject of many rumours. These include links between him and Game of Thrones co-star Lena Headey. Neither commented on the links and Headey has since gotten married. On a Reddit AMA, Pascal said of her: "'She is so funny and so smart, such a good person, a good friend and a good mother, I think everyone on that set and anyone who comes in contact with her develops an instant crush. Talk about male or female, you're going to get a crush on her easy.' Earlier this year, Pascal was spotted out in Los Angeles with Friends star Jennifer Aniston with some wondering if the pair were an item. However, Pascal revealed during The Last of Us season two premiere that they were just going to dinner with mutual friends.

Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz make 'very important' family announcement without David and Victoria

The Peltz-Beckhams have announced their new joint family project with no mention of David and Victoria's involvement Nicola Peltz has made a 'very important announcement' with Brooklyn Beckham on her Instagram account amid their ongoing feud with the rest of the Beckham clan. The American actress shared her new joint venture with David and Victoria's oldest son on her stories to her 3.1M followers and made no mention of any of the drama between her and her in-laws. ‌ Sharing a link to their new joint account, titled 'peltzbeckhambabies', Nicola shared four adorable snaps of each of their beloved dogs on the page. The pair are the proud owners of four white fur babies named Birdalina, Angelina, Lambilina and Labellina. They shared an individual snap of each pooch on the main grid of the account. ‌ All four of the dogs' unique names seem to follow a noticeable theme with all of them ending in 'lina'. The image on the account, which currently has 215 followers, is a plain black background with the words 'The linas' written across it in white text font. Meanwhile the bio reads as an abbreviated version of the pup's names, in lowercase: "lamb,label,birdie,angel". ‌ The Peltz-Beckham's joint account only currently follows Nicola and Brooklyn's official Instagrams. Their announcement comes amid their ongoing rift with David and Victoria, which is believed to have been going on since Brooklyn and Nicola tied the knot at the Peltz family's lavish oceanfront estate in Palm Beach, Florida back in 2022. ‌ While there were rumours of disagreements in the past, there have now been several public snubs which have now seemingly confirmed there has been a serious falling out between the two families. Their feud was first brought to the public's attention when Brooklyn failed to show up to any of his father's 50th birthday celebrations in May. The pair also failed to publicly acknowledge either David or Victoria's birthdays on social media but shared a special tribute for Nicola's father, Nelson Peltz, who turned 83 in June. Nelson's birthday came just weeks after David's own big milestone birthday, which Brooklyn snubbed both online and in real life. ‌ He also failed to congratulate the football star when he finally received a knighthood in the King's 2025 Birthday Honours List last month. Nicola and Brooklyn live in a lavish property in the exclusive Trousdale Estates neighbourhood of Beverly Hills in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, the Beckham primary residence is in London, although the family do have sprawling homes across the world including their Miami penthouse. ‌ The Peltz-Beckham family announcement comes after they previously lost their rescue dog, Nala, who passed away suddenly last June. Nicola claims her beloved chihuahua died just hours after a grooming appointment at a mobile grooming van outside her home. Peltz has since filed a lawsuit against dog groomer Jony Ceballos, claiming that Nala had went into the van as a 'healthy, happy dog' and had returned in 'severe physical distress'. ‌ The grooming business at the center of the controversy is HoundSpa LLC with owner Deborah Gittleman and groomer Jony Ceballos denying all allegations. Nicola has also reportedly hired a high-powered celebrity attorney known as 'Mad Dog' in her legal battle, who has worked for the likes of Kim Kardashian and Michael Jackson, the Daily Mail reports. ‌ Veterinary records state that eight-year-old Nala suffered from fluid in her lungs, neurological issues and a dangerously rapid heart rate before she suddenly died. However, the Bates Motel star, 30, has claimed that Ceballos is also responsible for the death of her French Bulldog, Frankie, in 2021, which she only came to believe after Nala's death. It's stated: "In the summer of 2021, Nicola had used HoundSpa to groom her French bulldog, named Frankie. Ceballos was the groomer whom HoundSpa sent for Frankie's grooming. ‌ "Upon returning from his grooming with Ceballos, Frankie was in visible physical distress, repeatedly stumbling as if he had been sedated."

Nicola had taken her dog to multiple neurologists and found that Frankie had fluid in his brain which had left professionals questioning if he had been in an accident. His poor health led to his eye having to be removed and his brain 'concaving on itself'. The Frenchie died a few months later. Peltz was recently ordered to appear for her deposition by October 30 of this year.

Ellie Goulding's new toy boy lover 10 years younger - her chaotic love life in full

Singer Ellie Goulding has seemingly gone public with her new man after teasing her romance on social media last week following a trip to Italy Ellie Goulding has gone public with her younger boyfriend as she gets back in the dating saddle. The singer, 38, is said to be dating actor Beau Minniear with the duo spotted at the weekend's epic boxing bout between Daniel Dubois and Oleksandr Usyk. ‌ Beau, who is 10 years younger than the Love Me Like You Do singer, appeared to make their romance official at the Wembley Stadium event. And the public showing came just days after she had seemingly hinted their was romance in the air on social media. ‌ She uploaded an image of her stroking a man's arm while on holiday and had captioned it: "Just a little something to take the edge off.' It's now thought Ellie and Beau were together on an Italian getaway before returning to London for Saturday's fight. ‌ A source told The Sun: "Ellie is into Beau and they have a lot of shared interests like exercise and art. They've been having fun together and they certainly make for an attractive couple." It's thought the pair first met earlier this year. It comes after her chaotic love life to date - including her short-lived marriage to art dealer Caspar Jopling. ‌ The duo tied the knot in 2019 at York Minster. They were joined by many famous faces for the ceremony, including Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice. Despite having a child together - son Arthur - in 2021, there wasn't to be a happy ever after for the pair. She was then thought to have been enjoying a fling with a surf instructor while holidaying in Costa Rica. But before that, she had enjoyed a number of high profile relationships. ‌ In 2010, the star dating BBC Radio One DJ Greg James for 18 months from 2010. They pair had met at one of her live shows and after growing close they kept their relationship on the down low. However, in true showbiz fashion, conflicting career schedules were cited for their break up. Now, Greg is married to author Bella Mackie. In 2012, she dated American musician, Skrillex. The artist, whose real name is Sonny John Moore, enjoyed a seven-month long distance relationship with Ellie back following a collaboration on the song Bittersweet for the Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part Two soundtrack. ‌ Other links over the years include to War Horse star Jeremy Irvine. Their dalliance lasted little under a year in 2013, but Ellie later told how her jealousy had ruined relationships in her 20s, describing her younger self as a: "jealous, chaotic, frenzied person". Ed Sheeran was also linked to the star after they were spotted holding hands. However, Ellie was quick to try to play down the pair. After the moment at the 20213 MTV VMA Awards, she took to Twitter /X to say: "I love that holding hands with my friends means we're an item." ‌ She later deleted the post. But later that year the Shape Of You singer, 33, told a US radio station: "Normal people don't hold hands if they're just friends". Niall Horan of One Direction and McFly's Dougie Poynter were also linked with the star. Ellie went as far as to invite her ex of two years Dougie to her wedding to Caspar Jopling. However, he declined her invitation. Before her wedding she was linked publicly with Prince Harry. Again, there was no confirmation of any link-up after they had allegedly been "all over each other" at a polo event. It's then believed the pair had a kiss under a blanket, but neither party has revealed the actual goings-on.
