Shoppers go mad for £20 furniture from B&M that doubles up as organisation for your plants
SHOPPERS are going wild for a £20 item at B&M which doubles as a set of shelves and a stand for your plants. The budget-friendly retailer says that the stocks are low, as customers race to their local stores. 3 B&M is known for its incredible savings and bargains, with its products regularly going viral online. One eagle-eyed shopper spotted the Spaceways 6 Tier Plastic Storage stack in their local store and immediately took to social media to share their find. The huge set of shelves can be ranged in a variety of ways, from three separate stands to one tall stack. It is perfect for storing pictures, plants or books and has dimensions of 38.5 x 33 x 151cm. The shelf comes in black and, according to B&M, it is 'easy' to assemble. The set costs just £20, but, according to B&M, stocks are low. The customer who spotted the item posted their find in Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook and shoppers from across the country have gone wild. One excited Facebook user posted: 'ooop need this for plant pots!!!!' Another said that they loved the original poster's way of setting their shelves up, saying: 'Ooooo I like how you've put it together. Fab idea. I want one now.' Others had creative ideas of their own, with one clever shopper saying: 'This could be good to use as shelving in a shed.' Shoppers are racing to B&M for Molly-Mae's latest collection & there are some incredible scents for less than a fiver The news comes after another wave of B&M's products went viral on social media. The Boucel Barstool in Beige is currently retailing for just £1, instead of the usual price of £20. According to one customer though, only the beige barstool is on sale - meaning fans are racing to shops before it sells out. B&M regularly slashes the price of its products, as it clears out its stock to make room for exciting new products. The Peyton Leather Effect Bench is now half price at £45, down from £90. The Chicago table is currently selling for just £40, after being reduced from £110 - a 63 per cent saving. The set also includes two benches, making it a great choice for fine dining. Asda has launched its luxury table and chair set, with the rattan garden-set. The sell-out product costs £149 and comes in a light, summery design which makes it perfect for enjoying the warmer weather. Meanwhile, Tesco's own rattan-set is retailing for just £16 as it clears its shelves. Originally costing £25, the supermarket has slashed £9 off the cost of the popular garden product. When comparing products, it is important to check the specifications so you buy the item that is best suited for your purposes. COMPARE PRICES FOR THE BEST DEAL JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn't mean it's always a good deal. There are plenty of comparison websites out there that'll check prices for you - so don't be left paying more than you have to. Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers. Here are some that we recommend: Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results. Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock. Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one. CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of. 3

Eve Jobs and Harry Charles' wedding preparations in full swing ahead of huge event
Team GB Olympic champ Harry Charles and American model Eve Jobs are set to swap vows in front of family, friends and even a failed American President candidate in one of the most lavish weddings of 2025 This weekend, the UK will play host to one of the most lavish weddings in the 2025 society calendar as Harry Charles and Eve Jobs become husband and wife. A List stars have already jetted to the Cotswolds where the lavish event is due to take place. With the groom reportedly worth as much as $2.5 million (£1.8 million) and the bride worth a reported $2 million (£1.5 million) the pair can afford to host a lavish party. However, the fact that Eve's mum is reportedly worth over $14 billion (£10.4 billion), it may be less of a surprise that the nuptials are set to cost several million. The couple have been an item for almost three years and have been engaged for less than a year. However, their romance has been clear for all to see as they have shared cute snaps of themselves on social media where they have openly declared their love - and they will become husband and wife on Saturday 26 July 2025. As the pair prepare to swap vows and begin their happy future together, photos have emerged of their wedding venue and church in the UK. Ariel shots of the St Michael & All Angels Church in Great Tew, Oxfordshire, show huge flower displays at the entrance of the almost 1,000 year old place of worship. The church was originally built in 1170 - and restored in 1827 by Thomas Rickman and stands proudly among the trees and green grass of the English countryside. Further snaps have shown huge tents and structures placed - with a red carpet stretching through the countryside. Eve is the youngest child of the late Apple business founder Steve Jobs and his businesswoman wife Laurene Powell. She has an older brother named Reed, 33, sister Erin, 29, and a 47-year-old half-sister named Lisa Brennan-Jobs. Eve's father died in October 2011 at the age of 56 after a battle against cancer. He had an estimated wealth of $7 billion (£5.2 billion) at the time of his death. Eve is a fashion model by profession and a keen equestrian. Her love for horses led to her meeting British Olympic show jumping competitor Harry Charles, 26 - who competed in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games where he won gold in team jumping. He achieved the impressive feat with his arm strapped up having broken it four weeks before the games. The pair reportedly began dating in September 2022 - and Harry popped the question soon after winning gold at the 2024 Olympics. The happy couple have reportedly spared no expense for the event - splashing a reported $6.7 million (£5 million) on their big day. The pair have reportedly taken over the charming town of Witney and will host their wedding at Estelle Manor. Pre wedding celebrations reportedly took place in the nearby Soho Famhouse - with VIPs among those attending the celebrations. Celebs and high powered politicians are among those said to be jetting to the British countryside to watch the model and show jumping hunk say "I do". Failed American Presidential candidate Kamala Harris and music legend Bruce Springsteen are just two of the big names tipped to attend the ceremony. Estelle Manor is described as "Oxfordshire's most exclusive hotel" - helping the couple build a luxurious feel to their celebrations. The hotel has impressive amenities including a 25m pool, two paddle courts, and over 60 acres of land. The Grade II listed building boasts 108 bedrooms, 4 restaurants, and a spa - and it's real name is Eynsham Hall. Built in 1908, the country home initially hosted hunting parties - but was used as a maternity hospital rest and relaxation centre during World War II before becoming a police training centre and then, ultimately, being converted into a hotel. Ahead of their wedding, Eve enjoyed a sun-soaked hen do - heading to a luxury hotel on a sun soaked beach with close family and friends. She shared highlights from her fun-feulled trip last month, showing her cavorting around in a little white dress with a wedding veil and splashing in the sea with a lilo with the word "Bride" written on it. While it is unclear if Eve's proud mum, Laurene, is footing the wedding bill, she has previously suggested her children won't inherit much of her $14 billion fortune. She previously told the New York Times: "I inherited my wealth from my husband, who didn't care about the accumulation of wealth. "I'm not interested in legacy wealth building, and my children know that... Steve wasn't interested in that. If I live long enough, it ends with me." Steve and Laurene were married in 1991 and stayed together until his death in 2011. He died following a long fight against pancreatic cancer - which resulted in respiratory arrest. Steve was previously in a relationship with American memoirist and painter Chrisann Brennan, 70, with whom the Apple founder shared his first daughter, Lisa.

The 1% Club fans baffled as they're left feeling like 'absolute geniuses'
The 1% Club, hosted by Lee Mack, has left viewers seriously divided after a question from the 10% round was shared on social media. The 1% Club enthusiasts have confessed they're "worrying for society" following a particularly contentious question. The popular ITV quiz show, hosted by the witty Lee Mack, often splits viewers with some left scratching their heads and others quickly identifying the correct answer - and this latest conundrum was no exception. The programme's unique format involves 100 participants tackling a series of questions that have been previously answered by the public, with each round increasing in difficulty, culminating in a final question known only to an elite 1%. As host Lee Mack presents the 15 questions, contestants are gradually eliminated. Each contestant starts with a £1,000 stake and must secure their answers within a tight 30-second window, either advancing to the next stage or using a pass after the 50% mark. Reaching the final round not only brings prestige but also the chance to bag up to £100,000 or a share of the prize money. Typically, the 10% question proves to be one of the toughest, with an average of just 10 contestants getting it right on the show, reports Bristol Live. However, one particular question has sparked debate among fans on social media, leading to a split opinion over whether it should be more straightforward to solve, while leaving others utterly perplexed. Circulating on Facebook, a fan posted the puzzling query: "Two has 3, three has 5, and four has 4. Logically, how many does five have?" Upon realising the answer was based on the number of letters in the word (with five having 4), one person commented: "If that's 10% then I worry for society." Echoing the sentiment, a fan responded: "That was my thought too," while another quickly boasted: "4 quickest I ever got one." Yet, someone offered a different take: "If 3 has 5, then 5 would have 3." To which another retorted: "You would deffo be out," and someone else chuckled: "Better use your pass mate." Confusion reigned for some, with a comment reading: "Is this an American question," and another admitting defeat: "I can't work it out." Many felt the question was far too simple for its supposed difficulty level, with remarks such as "too easy" for a 10% question and one stating: "I got it instantly when reading. That was easy as, how is that a 10% question?" Others suggested a higher difficulty rating, with one adding: "Definitely like a 50% question at most though." The low difficulty rating baffled many, prompting one to jest: "How is this only 10%? Like seriously are they asking chickens, toddlers and dogs?" And amidst the mixed reactions, one individual humorously declared: "I must be an absolute genius."
