convinced

BBC Radio 2 listeners have been left convinced a radio host accidentally dropped the C-bomb live on air.

An unfortunate slip of the tongue appeared to hit the radio airwaves this morning – but did you hear it?

Gary Davies was live on air sitting in for Vernon Kay on his mid-morning show when the moment occurred.

The host appeared to trip over his words which left many to question if he accidentally dropped the C-word on air.

In the moment, Gary could be heard talking about the lyrics of one of the songs from band, The Divine Comedy.

The radio host said: “Check this one out, which has one of the best lines from a song ever.”

As he attempted to introduce the band, Gary appeared to say: “The Divine c***, oh!”

He then giggled as he quickly attempted to correct himself before he tripped over his words once again.

He mis-pronounced “comedy” once more before finally getting it right amid a flurry of giggles in the awkward moment.

Laughing at Gary’s mistake, one radio fan commented: “Don’t worry, nobody noticed.”

As another added: “Ooh Gary Davies on your radio. Casually dropping the C word.”

Gary is a BBC Radio 2 regular.

The star often sits in for Vernon when the Bolton-born presenter is missing from the programme.

Vernon’s show airs weekday mornings from 9:30am until 12pm.

Gary is also often heard hosting his specialist music show, Sounds of the 80s.

MANCHESTER United fans and neutrals alike have revisited a video of Jose Mourinho from last year as evidence that he could be on his way back to Old Trafford.

The tongue-in-cheek comments about a return on social media come off the back of the Red Devils’ embarrassing Carabao Cup exit to League Two outfit Grimsby on Wednesday.

The iconic manager made comments last October hinting that he would be open to a return to a bottom-half Premier League side, after his Fenerbahce side secured a draw in the Europa League AGAINST Man Utd.

He told the press: “The best thing I have to do is – when I leave Fenerbahce – I go to a club that doesn’t play Uefa competitions.

“So if any club in England, from the bottom of the table, needs coach in two years – I am ready to go.

Fans across the English game this window have jumped on the bandwagon, with Leeds, West Ham, Wolves and Utd fans all linking themselves to the manager through the video on social media.

One United fan succinctly commented on the post: “So Mourinho is going back to Man Utd, innit?”

Fans are split on the Portuguese, who already spent two years at the helm at Old Trafford between 2016-18, but at least some of the Red Devils faithful would be open to the move.

Speaking on the players, one X user commented: “None of them can manage the pressure and the culture of winning. We just need Jose Mourinho back.”

Fans of other clubs have also been circling around the old clip as it circulates on X.

One Leeds fan commented:” “I don’t care if he got us relegated, this needs to happen.”

A Hammers fan added: “Feel like Mourinho and West Ham would be pure entertainment. Let it happen, fate.”

Man Utd ratings v Grimsby

MANCHESTER UNITED are at rock bottom after the biggest cup upset saw the club crash out of the Carabao Cup second-round to League Two Grimsby Town on penalties.

Ruben Amorim’s United lost to a four-tier side for the first time ever.

The home fans sang “you’re getting sacked in the morning” to Amorim throughout and you can’t help but wonder if they’re right.

Here’s how SunSport’s Katherine Walsh rated United’s flops at Blundell Park.

The beloved maverick was even linked with the Nottingham Forest job last week after news emerged of Nuno Espirito Santo‘s falling out with the club.

The 62-year-old’s CV includes spells at Chelsea, Real Madrid and Inter Milan, becoming one of the sport’s most successful managers.

He is currently causing his signature chaos as manager of Turkish giants Fenerbahce.

Mirror reader Alycia Royle-Evatt believes that Ryanair duped her into paying for a bag that was, in fact, the correct dimensions ahead of a flight from Leeds Bradford to Palma Majorca

A debate is raging over the real dimensions of Ryanair bag sizers, with some passengers claiming things are not quite as they seem.

There are few ways worse to begin a holiday than by getting stung by an extra baggage charge. Budget airline Ryanair has seemingly mastered the art of catching out passengers with oversized hand luggage, slapping customers with fees of up to £75—sometimes for being just a little bit over the maximum allowed size.

This can be particularly infuriating as, on other occasions, boarding agents wave through clearly oversized bags without a second glance. This comes after Ryanair admitted just how much it makes from fining customers for breaking its rules.

Mirror reader Alycia Royle-Evatt believes that Ryanair duped her into paying for a bag that was, in fact, the correct dimensions. During a trip from Leeds Bradford Airport to Palma Majorca, Alycia and her daughter were charged £75 for each of two bags that “bowed out slightly in the middle by millimetres.”

“I measured my luggage before travelling to make sure it fit the dimensions advertised on their website and they were an exact match,” Alycia said.

This led the mum to start questioning whether the “cages are slightly smaller dimensions, especially the depth”. During her break, the spurned holidaymakers bought a measuring tape for her return trip. At the airport, Alycia measured the depth of the bag sizer. “It was 18cm, not the 20 as advertised,” she claimed.

“It was extremely distressing and I have since found out that the staff work on a commission for every bag they manage to fine.”

Rumours that Ryanair bag sizers are not the dimensions advertised have long swirled online, with forums packed full of people claiming to have been stung for bags that they believe to be compliant.

However, there is no good evidence that this is the case. In fact, multiple videos posted on TikTok and YouTube show sceptical passengers scrutinising the Ryanair baggage cages and discovering that they are exactly quite a bit bigger than the maximum bag dimensions.

Sarah Giblin tried just that and found that the sizer was between 1cm and 2cm bigger than the different dimensions of the maximum bag allowance. “That means that Ryanair is a little bit nicer than they have been letting on,” Sarah said in a TikTok video. “But it does also mean if your bag doesn’t fit, then it really doesn’t fit.”

In July, Ryanair announced that it is planning to increase its “personal bag” size by 20% as the EU brings in a new standard. That means that passengers will be allowed to take an item such as a handbag or laptop bag measuring up to 40cm x 30cm x 20cm in the cabin without paying an extra fee.

The bag should weigh less than 10kg and fit “under the seat in front of you.” The new size represents a 20% increase in volume from the current maximum dimensions and means that Ryanair accepts free bags one-third bigger than the new EU minimum size limit.

The new bag size limits were due to come into effect “in the coming weeks” following the announcement, which came at the beginning of July. If you’re travelling with Ryanair this month, make sure to check with the airline to find out if the new measurements are in force on your flight.

Ryanair has been contacted for comment.

Beverage giant declines to either confirm or deny change to ingredients in its signature soft drink.

United States President Donald Trump has announced that Coca-Cola will start using cane sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup in its US-made soft drink at his urging.

“I have been speaking to Coca-Cola about using REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social on Wednesday.

“I’d like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola.”

Trump said the switch would be a “very good move”, adding: “You’ll see. It’s just better!”

Coca-Cola neither confirmed nor denied Trump’s announcement, but said it appreciated the president’s “enthusiasm for our iconic Coca-Cola brand.”

“More details on new innovative offerings within our Coca-Cola product range will be shared soon,” the Atlanta, Georgia-based company said in a brief statement.

“I have been speaking to @CocaCola about using REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so. I’d like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola. This will be a very good move by them — You’ll see. It’s just better!” –President Donald J. Trump pic.twitter.com/9L27oxlYUj

Trump, who is known for his love of Diet Coke, did not explain his push to change the soft drink’s ingredients, but his health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has harshly criticised the prevalence of high-fructose corn syrup in the American diet.

Kennedy, who has pledged to wage war on ultra-processed foods containing ingredients rarely found in kitchen cabinets, has called the sweetener “just a formula for making you obese and diabetic.”

High-fructose corn syrup, which is derived from corn starch, is favoured by many US manufacturers because it is cheaper than sugar, in part due to government subsidies for corn and tariffs on sugar imports.

Coca-Cola began using high-fructose corn syrup in its US production in the 1980s, but still uses cane sugar in many versions of its signature beverage made overseas, including Mexico, whose version of the drink has developed a cult-like following for its supposedly superior taste.

While Americans’ high sugar intake is a major contributor to nearly three-quarters of the population being overweight or obese, there is currently no scientific consensus to suggest high-fructose corn syrup is less healthy than cane sugar or other sweeteners.

In a 2018 fact sheet, the US Food and Drug Administration said it was “not aware of any evidence” of a “difference in safety” between foods containing high-fructose corn syrup and those with other sweeteners such as sugar and honey.

Love Island viewers are starting to suspect one Islander doesn’t like one of their co-stars after some ‘unnecessarily rude’ comments made behind their back on the ITV2 series

Some Love Island fans picked up on some odd behaviour by one star aimed at another contestant in the villa this week.

It left many fans questioning if a secret feud was unfolding, with some convinced one Islander “hated” another. Just days on from the pair in question being coupled up, fans suggested the pair might not be seeing eye to eye.

Then some comments Ben made behind Toni’s back int he latest episode left fans calling him out, while also suggesting there could be some drama between them. Bombshell Toni had debuted earlier in the week, before she stole Ben from Shakira.

Just days later Ben was heard whining about Toni to the other Islanders, claiming she gave him “the ick” and that he was “stuck” with someone he didn’t want to be with. He made some other jibes about her behind her back, and said her saw nothing there with her, not wanting to pursue a romance.

Toni was then praised for “humbling” Ben when she confronted him and put an end to their pairing. Since then there’s been other moments where Ben hasn’t seemed keen on Toni amid his reunion with Shakira, and on Friday night we saw him comment about her once more.

As the boys were secretly being listened in to, the girls heard Ben say how Toni “didn’t even ruffle any feathers”. Toni’s entrance had caused some drama, and soon she was moving onto other men after the Ben ‘split’ and it left some of the girls nervous.

But according to Ben there was nothing to be stressed about, and Toni didn’t cause that much chaos. The girls in the villa called this out with Toni looking far from impressed at being spoken about.

Viewers had her back though, taking to X to slam him as others predicted Ben had some sort of issue with Toni. Many wondered if he disliked her, after noticing he was being off with her more than once.

One fan said: “Ben is unnecessarily rude especially towards Toni.” Another agreed: “Ben hates Toni,” as a third said: “‘Toni hasn’t ruffled any feathers’ NAH Ben hatesssss her.”

Another fan commented: “That comment about Toni wasn’t nice I’m so sick of Ben.” A further post read: “Ben speaks so rudely about Toni, as one fan said: “Why does Ben hate Toni??”

A final message commented: “I’m convinced Ben HATES Toni.” It comes as the start of Friday’s episode saw a brutal dumping twist, following a shocking announcement in the previous episode. After a reocupling, Blu and Shea were left single and at risk of leaving the villa.

But everyone was left reeling when it was announced that Blu and Shea would have to decide between themselves which of them stayed, and who was sent packing. Immediately both Islanders got awkward, refusing to be the one to leave.

This drama continued into Friday’s episode, with Blu giving reasons why he should stay, even suggesting he had a spark with Toni which left her utterly baffled. Then Shea did the same back, making a dig at his co-star as he revealed why it should be him that stayed.

Shea commented on Blu having been there for days longer than him, believing there was no connection to be explored. Soon enough the other Islanders were tasked with making the decision for them as neither of them would go.

As it came down to a vote, it was Blu who was sent packing and Shea who was saved. The brutal moment left fans screaming, with it looking at one point as though neither guy was going to walk out of the villa.

PUNTERS are convinced they know who Ryan Moore will ride in the Epsom Oaks – after an intriguing price crash came seemingly out of nowhere.

Aidan O’Brien has three in the Friday Classic ahead of Thursday’s declarations.

But just who Moore would choose out of Giselle, Whirl and Minnie Hauk looked anyone’s guess.

Bookies thought they had some inkling as they made Minnie Hauk, who was 8-1 just 48 hours ago, the outsider of the Ballydoyle trio.

But the Cheshire Oaks winner’s price has been smashed into as short as 7-2 following a tidal wave of support.

Punters think her odds crashing – and Giselle and Whirl’s going the opposite way – are a sign Moore has chosen who he will partner, with one proclaiming: “That’s Ryan Moore’s ride.”

Paddy Power’s Paul Binfield said: “The front two in the Oaks market have both been strong today, but particularly Cheshire Oaks heroine Minnie Hauk.

“That support would indicate that punters are pretty sure that of Aidan O’Brien’s three possible protagonists, Ryan Moore has chosen to partner this very talented Frankel filly.”

Whoever Moore rides will have to go some to beat Charlie Appleby’s red-hot Oaks favourite Desert Flower, though.

The 1000 Guineas winner has been obliterated into just 6-5 with some firms.

Legendary jockey Kieran Fallon, who rides out at trainer Charlie Appleby’s Moulton Paddocks yard, said she was a cut above.

And punters think so too, with Desert Flower looking like she could be the shortest-price winner since O’Brien’s 11-10 Love in 2020.

CHOCOLATE lovers are convinced that an iconic treat, last discounted 11 years ago, could be making a comeback on the shelves.

TikToker Minstrel Munches has sparked a buzz on social media, claiming a much-loved snack launched in 2003 might be returning to stores.

White chocolate Maltesers were originally launched as a seasonal product, but became so popular that they began being sold all year round.

However, due to low sales, they were discontinued, leaving many chocolate fans devastated.

Yet in a recent TikTok, the social media foodie claimed the beloved sweet treat is set to make a comeback this summer.

She said: “They are coming back. They are expected to be released in the middle of June or the start of July.”

Minstrel Munches wasn’t the only social media account to share the news.

The popular Food Finds UK Official Facebook group also claimed that white chocolate Maltesers are set to make a comeback.

The post received hundreds of likes and comments from chocolate fans expressing excitement about the potential return.

One user wrote: “OMG this better be true.”

“Yum can’t wait”, another commented.

While a third said: “Oh my god, our prayers have been answered.”

Why and when were White Maltesers discontinued?

White Maltesers were discontinued in 2014.

They were pulled from shelves 11 years after they first launched in 2003.

White Maltesers were originally launched as a seasonal product but became so popular that they began being sold all year round.

It has been reported that they were discontinued due low sales but many chocolate lovers were devastated to see the end of their run.

In 2017 a petition was started to bring the sweet treat back.

The petition’s creator had hoped to garner 2,500 signatures of support but as of March 2024 only 1,637 had signed the campaign.
