Aldi launches a UK supermarket-first - the new Dubai Chocolate Style Mochi
Budget supermarket Aldi is set to launch a dessert that fuses two of the biggest viral food sensations in one - and it's going to be the perfect heatwave snack Aldi is set to release a supermarket first - as they continue the Dubai Chocolate hype. With temperatures set to soar once again these brand new Dubai Chocolate style Mochi are the perfect snack. The dessert infuses two of the hottest and most viral food trends on social media - the Dubai Chocolate craze and the continuing Mochi obsession. Mochi ice cream is a small, round confection consisting of a soft, pounded sticky rice dumpling (mochi) formed around an ice cream filling. This new flavour jons the already loved mochi line-up in Aldi, as each decadent piece features soft pistachio ice cream, crunchy Kataifi pastry and a sweet cocoa rice dough - perfect for an after-dinner treat or summer indulgence. With ice cream sales already soaring 25% year-on-year, this viral sensation is set to be a guaranteed summer hit. Dubai Chocolate Style Mochi (£3.99, 6 x 35g), available in stores from 14th July - and be quick, as they're expected to sell out. It comes after Aldi launched a brand new Kombucha style drink. Priced at £1.69, shoppers can snap up a 330ml bottle of The Juice Company Kombucha in stores. The nutritional drink is available in three flavours - including passionfruit, ginger and lemon and wild berry. Aldi shoppers can keep their cholesterol and blood sugar levels down thanks to a health-enhancing beverage that's hitting shelves. The budget supermarket is now selling a kombucha drink, which is also known for its immune system and gut health-boosting properties. Known for its health benefits, Kombucha contains live cultures that promote a healthy gut. According to Aldi, the drink combines "a tropical tang with bubbly refreshment." The retailer says The Juice Company Passionfruit Kombucha is "bursting with a sweet yet tart flavour", and the ginger and lemon flavour provides "a warming immune system boost along with a zesty kick of citrus to offer a refreshing pick-me-up." For shoppers looking for something sweet yet natural, The Juice Company Wild Berry Kombucha "brings a symphony of delicious berries," according to Aldi. The new kombucha drink follows Aldi's £2.29 Kefir Frozen Yoghurt, which comes in chocolate, mango and passionfruit, and strawberry, which is packed with calcium and protein to "boost gut health and wellbeing." Kombucha made from green tea may offer many of the same health benefits as green tea itself, such as weight loss and blood sugar management. According to Healthline, kombucha is also rich in tea polyphenols and acetic acid, which have both been shown to suppress the growth of undesirable bacteria and yeasts.

Country music icon rushed to hospital after frighteningly slurring his words mid-concert
Don't miss out on the headlines from Music. Followed categories will be added to My News. Country music star Ronnie McDowell was rushed to the hospital after slurring his words mid-concert. The Older Women singer was performing at the Summer Solstice Music Festival in Oley, Pennsylvania, on Saturday when his speech started to sound off, according to Nashville, Tennessee, radio station WKRN. His tour manager told the station that the 75-year-old musician was 'not making sense' after getting through 'three or four songs' on the setlist, reports Page Six. His manager reportedly pulled McDowell offstage to ask him if he was feeling all right — to which the artist replied 'No.' McDowell thought he might be having a stroke, and his manager immediately took him to seek medical attention. McDowell (pictured here with Dolly Parton) was taken to hospital after appearing to slur during his set. Picture: Instagram McDowell was reportedly still undergoing testing at a nearby hospital as of Sunday. The King is Gone crooner's son Tyler Dean McDowell updated fans in a statement on his Facebook on Sunday. 'Just wanted to let everyone know — I made it to Pennsylvania. Ronnie Dean & I are in the room with Dad,' Tyler said. 'He's talking to us, and we're waiting to do the MRI. As soon as I know more, so will y'all. Love Forever.' The singer's son shared an update for fans on social media. Picture: Instagram Hours later, Tyler gave fans a second update, sharing that he and his family are making his father as comfortable as possible amid the health scare. 'Brought dad some Popcorners and a Kombucha (snacks he likes),' he shared. 'Ronnie Dean brought his comfy shows, favourite brush, and Vietnam hat. Dad was very excited about all this — like a kid in a candy store. Figured y'all could use a lil' levity.' His son described it as an 'incredibly stressful' time. Picture: Instagram Tyler asked for privacy in a separate post, though he understands fans are 'concerned' about his father. 'I know you're all concerned. I promise — no one is more worried than I am,' he said in a June 21 Facebook post. 'Please understand, this is an incredibly stressful time, and right now, my focus is on my Dad. If there's anything that needs to be shared, I promise — we will.' He then added, 'If you can, pray.' Ronnie's rep did not immediately respond to Page Six's request for comment.

'I nearly won Love Island- it's changed a lot in 7 years and not for the better'
Former Love Island star Wes Nelson has revealed the major changes on the show he has noticed since his stint in 2018 and offered future islanders his biggest bit of advice Love Island is well under way and the drama is already unfolding in season 12 of the hit ITV2 dating show. However, one former contestant admits the show just isn't what it used to be. Wes Nelson, 27, rose to fame after entering the Mallorcan villa looking for love in 2018. The Stoke native made it to the final with Megan Barton-Hanson, having initially coupling up with Laura Anderson. But he's confessed a lot has changed since his time on the show, and it's not all been for the better. Speaking exclusively to the Mirror, Wes admitted he doesn't watch the show these days, but does keep up to date with the drama on social media. Speaking of the show's changes since his days, he claimed: "I think when we went on it, it wasn't like a business move. Sometimes you got business from it, and you potentially open doors to a lot of things... "But then sometimes I feel like people are going on it now with every intention of doing business, which is natural and understandable, considering how many people have come off and done well. So, I think that the main difference is now, is it's like people care a bit more. I don't think we cared that much when we were in there. It was very silly, very silly." He also joked that the way people are devastated at leaving in recent series has proven to be a big difference over the years. "People are leaving now," he said, "like we were upset when people would leave and this, that and the other, but people wouldn't go absolutely bonkers. It was a giggle. It was a case of 'that was good fun. Let's go home.'" Offering his own advice to the current islanders, he insisted the best tactic is to be authentic. "One thing that I will credit myself for is that I've never strayed from who I was or my morals," Wes continued. "And with that, I feel like it's not been exhausting to keep up a character, because it's just been myself, whereas a lot of people can find it difficult to keep up a character and a persona. It's been like nearly eight years now, so it's, it's a long time, but I feel quite happy with it." The Abracadabra singer revealed he has kept in contact with a number of his fellow islanders, saying they are now "closer than ever". He described how he regularly has golf days with Josh Denzel before joking he has "corrupted" Jack into starting up the sport too. Following Love Island, Wes has forged a hugely successful music career, which he He has collaborated with a number of big hitters in the industry, including Clean Bandit and Craig David. And his latest collaboration came with Lipton for their Kombucha launch. Speaking to us from his studio, explained the quirky linkup and catchy tune he created for the product, before revealing his dream musical matchup. " Justin Bieber," he confessed. "He hasn't released a lot of songs in recent years," Wes went on before joking: "I know he's working on other bits, but if he hears this, it's little Wes Nelson a bloke from Stoke - give me a shot!" As well as his recent special performance with Lipton at Battersea Power Station on Friday, Wes has a busy summer ahead. He has a number of European performances lined up, and is also planning a tour at the end of the year.
