LOOKING almost unrecognisable, a Casa Amor star looks worlds away from the villa in a new snap.

Welcoming Love Island bombshell Danielle Sellers back to the UK after her South African All Stars stint, this Casa Amor babe looked so different.

The 27-year-old star shot to fame in series five of the hit show, which aired on ITV2 in 2019.

She only spent four days in the villa, and didn’t have much luck finding love.

This Casa bombshell entered the villa on Day 26 and was dumped from the island on Day 30.

Have you guessed yet?

Yep, it’s Maria Carmel Wild.

Maria has long been pals with Danielle Sellers[/caption]

Waiting for her pal Danielle at the airport, Maria could be seen standing in an all-black outfit teamed with a beige trench coat.

Beaming with a huge grin on her face, Maria smiled widely as she greeted Danielle.

Maria held onto a white sign which read: “Welcome home Danielle. We missed you!”

Danielle shared the snap of Maria on her Instagram stories, with Maria then reposting the photo onto her own page.

Although both Danielle and Maria are famous for being on Love Island – this is not where they met.

The two women were pals long before Maria’s villa stint.

Glamour model Danielle was only briefly on the show back in series three, with her making a comeback to the show for All Stars this year.

In 2017, Danielle entered the villa via Casa Amor when she coupled up with Jonny Mitchell.

Despite being a total bombshell, she was soon dumped from the island.

But this time around on All Stars Danielle entered the villa on day 16 alongside TOWIE star Sammy Root.

Upon entering the villa, she chose to go on a date with Curtis Pritchard, despite him being in a couple with Ekin-Su.

But things with Danielle and Curtis didn’t take off, with her ending up with Ron Hall by default.

Chuggs Wallis then arrived in the villa and it looked as though there could be a spark.

But alas, there was not.

Chuggs then coupled up with Tina Stinnes which left Danielle single and dumped.

A DEPARTING Emmerdale star whose character was killed off into the limo crash has broken their silence.

The tragic incident saw a limo crash into an icy lake – with TEN residents left fighting for their lives.

Several residents’ lives were put at risk in the tragedy[/caption]

Unfortunately, Suzy Merton (Martelle Edinborough) died on site after violently hitting her head.

Martelle has now spoken out after her on-screen exit, having played the role for three years.

She wrote on X: “And just like that….Suzy is no more and a new chapter begins! ! What an ep!

“It’s been such a blessing to have been a part of such an iconic show that I grew up on and loved by so many! ! #Journeys.”

One fan wrote on X: “Can’t believe Suzy died in the crash didn’t see this coming.”

Another added: “I never guessed it would be Suzy, not in a million years.”

While a third penned: “Goodbye Suzy you will be missed.”

In scenes already aired, viewers watched as Suzy succumbed to her injuries.

It saw Vanessa (Michelle Hardwick) reveal that her partner wasn’t breathing.

Although Dr. Liam (Jonny McPherson) attempted to revive her, Suzy was pronounced dead – with the group left heartbroken.

Meanwhile, viewers have predicted another heartbreaking death as a result of the crash.

Having performed CPR, two paramedics looked at each other before a call was made to confirm one patient was “dead upon arrival” at the hospital.

Fans have since theorised who this could be – with some deeming Leyla Harding (Roxy Shahidi) too obvious due to her already announced exit.

One wrote on X: “I bet its Liam not Leyla!”

Another suggested: I think it’s Liam that doesn’t make it.

“Tonight’s episode shows some of them getting taken to hospital, the spoilers online show the person dead has a head support brace on.

“The only one that has that as they enter the ambulance is Liam.”

As a third chimed in: “It’s way to obvious to be Leyla, I think Liam dies.”

The body count began on Monday when a decomposing corpse was spotted after the crash.

Viewers believe this was Nate Robinson’s (Jurell Carter) body trapped underneath the lake – thanks to a giveaway sign.

They spotted a bracelet on the corpse which looked similar to the one Nate’s daughter Frankie had given him.

Nate left the Dales in September 2024 and mysteriously vanished without being seen.

He had accepted a new job in Scotland, seemingly making a low-key exit following his wife’s affair with his uncle.

Emmerdale continues on ITV1 and ITVX.

The winner will have the chance to fight Oleksandr Usyk[/caption]

It will be the first time the British boxer is defending his title after he knocked out Anthony Joshua at Wembley last year.

Parker, 33, is in the best form of his career and is aiming to become a two-time heavyweight world champion.

Warren has insisted that the winner of the fight will have the chance to clash with current unified WBA, WBC, and WBO heavyweight world champion Oleksandr Usyk.

He told Sky Sports: “Daniel is 27, Joe is 33, which isn’t old for a heavyweight, by the way.

“One is the young buck and flying at the moment, and for somebody it’s his last chance.

“Usyk is the No.1 heavyweight in the world with three belts, Tyson [Fury] is retired, so No.1 and No.2 are fighting each other.

“It’s the next two best heavyweights in the world in the ring together, fighting for a chance to unify the belts against Usyk.

“The winner, he’s got everything.

“The loser is going to be very very disappointed. It’s going to be an amazing fight.”

Dubois was beaten by the Ukrainian by knockout after a tough bout back in August 2023.

He has now won his previous three fights as he forced stoppages against Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic.

These came before his stunning knockout of AJ in September.

Parker, however, has won five in a row as he hit back after he was knocked out by Joe Joyce in September 2022.

His remarkable run of form has also included big wins over Zhilei Zhang and Deontay Wilder.

The chance to clash with Usyk would be one of the last of his career.

The Ukrainian has revealed that he will only fight two more times before he hangs up his gloves.

UNBEATEN Josh Padley is set to be parachuted in to fight Shakur Stevenson this weekend.

The Sky Sports report comes after Floyd Canfield pulled out of this weekend’s world title fight after being deemed “too ill” to challenge Stevenson for the WBC lightweight title.

Padley, 29, has a record of 15 wins including a stunning upset over Mark Chamberlain in his last fight on the undercard of Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois in September.

The move came after a rumour spread on social media that Schofield had been “poisoned” before he failed to show up among the arrivals on Tuesday night.

Leaked messages, reportedly from Schofield’s dad, Floyd Schofield Sr, accused unnamed people of poisoning his son.

A text sent to Schofield Sr was leaked online, reading: “This isn’t something to take lightly Sr. I’m not trying to play no games.

“I got love for y’all and looking out, but they spiked your son”.

The 22-year-old had initially showed up to Saudi Arabia and did all the Monday media, but then vanished on Tuesday and no-showed for the grand arrivals

The pair were set to throw hands in a battle for the WBC World Lightweight Championship.

But will no longer be able to take to the ring as a result of the bizarre circumstances.

Stevenson is appearing on the undercard of the Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol undisputed light-heavyweight card in Saudi Arabia on Saturday.

The fight card is stacked with big names.

Joshua Buatsi faces fellow Brit Callum Smith, while Zhilei Zhang collides with Agit Kabayel in a heavyweight showdown.

LOVE Island All Stars bombshell Tina Stinnes broke down in tears as she returned to the UK to reunite with her dog.

The Made In Chelsea alum, who was unlucky in love in the ITV2 spin off, looked elated as her adorable pet leaped into her arms at Heathrow Airport.

Kaz Crossley was also seen touching down from the same flight[/caption]

Tina, 29, who was make-up free and swept her blonde hair back in a headband, was visibly emotional as the pooch scooted towards her with its tongue out ready to give her an affectionate lick.

She touched down at the London transport hub after the long-haul flight from Cape Town following the dramatic Love Island All Stars final which saw Gabby Allen and Casey O’Gorman crowned surprise winners.

Tina – who had a rocky time in the villa after finding a spark with Scott Thomas only for him to quit the show – was surrounded by her loved ones on her arrival.

She was on board the aircraft with fellow bombshell Samie Elishi and All Stars OG Kaz Crossley.

Samie oozed a sunkissed glow courtesy of her time in the stunning South Africa compound.

She stayed cosy for her flight in a matching monochrome co-ord tracksuit, with a brown bobble wrapped around her wrist.

Londoner Samie wheeled a suitcase around the Arrivals lounge with a smile on her face.

She was at the heart of scandal during her short stint on the show, making a dramatic entrance which saw her kiss Luca Bish.

Samie then revealed the pair’s secret DMs sent before the show, leaving Luca’s partner Grace Jackson stunned.

Yet after the former fish seller decided to stay with Grace, her time on the series came to an end.

Also a passenger on the plane was Kaz Crossley – who was an OG in the 2025 All Stars line-up.

She pulled on a baby pink White Fox hoodie paired with black leggings and trainers and a designer bag.

She left her hood up to cover her platinum blonde hair and tucked a bottle of water under her arm.

Kaz’s mobile was firmly in her hand – perhaps to take calls flooding in following her second time in the matchmaking series.

Her appearance came after she waded in to the scandal surrounding Liv Hawkins’ claim Grace Jackson allegedly sent messages stating she would “do anything” to win the show.

The bad blood was first sparked on Sunday’s episode when Liv returned briefly with a major revelation about the Manchester lass during the dumping ceremony.

She claimed she’d seen text messages from Grace to someone where she’d declared she would “do anything to win the show this time”.

It came as bombshell Grace made it to the Love Island final alongside Luca Bish – and Liv reinforced her stance when grilled by Maya about the receipts.

During Sunday’s show Liv was backed by Samie Elishi who agreed “the “everyone” from Love Island All Stars had seen the screenshots.

The camera also zoomed in on Kaz who was laughing and hiding her face – leading fans to think she’d also witnessed the texts.

But now Kaz has taken to her TikTok to insist that she hasn’t actually viewed the screenshots.

In a six-minute video she told fans: “I just want to say I haven’t seen these messages, and I had no involvement in this situation.”

ATALANTA captain Rafael Toloi saw red as the Serie A side crashed out of the Champions League.

The Italians went into last night’s second leg trailing Belgians Club Brugge 2-1 from the first match.

Things swiftly went from bad to worse for Gian Piero Gasperini’s men, as a disastrous first half saw them fall 3-0 down on the night.

Ademola Lookman pulled one back for the Serie A side moments into the second half.

But after the former Everton and Fulham man missed a penalty on the hour mark, Atalanta’s hope began to ebb away.

In the 86th minute, Toloi’s frustration boiled over.

As the 34-year-old went to take a throw in, he was needlessly bumped by Maxim De Cuyper.

The red mist then descended upon Toloi, who tried to throw the ball at his opponent.

It slipped out of his hand, however, and he fell over.

Feeling embarrassed, Toloi got up and begun to charge at De Cuyper, who had turned and was walking away.

The referee attempted to get in the Brazilian’s away but his efforts were futile, Toloi bundling over his opponent.

He went on to be sent off for his head loss, while De Cuyper was yellow carded.

After the game, veteran boss Gasperini was disappointed at his skipper.

He said: “That was an ugly incident and we must never lose our heads.

“Atalanta must leave the Champions League with dignity, having played great games against the likes of Real Madrid, Arsenal and Barcelona.”

On the winger’s botched penalty, the 67-year-old added: “Lookman was not supposed to take that penalty, he is one of the worst penalty takers I’ve ever seen.

“He has a frankly terrible record even in training, he converts very few of them.

“Retegui and De Ketelaere were there, but Lookman in a moment of enthusiasm after scoring decided to take the ball and that was a gesture I did not appreciate at all.”

POLICE in Brazil are searching for a missing British journalist last seen nearly two weeks ago in São Paulo.

Charlotte Peet, 32, was reported missing on February 8 after she messaged a friend in Rio de Janeiro saying she was in São Paulo and planning to head to Rio but needed a place to stay.

Cops have launched a manhunt after the 32-year-old was reported missing on February 8[/caption]

The British Embassy in Brazil stated that it is supporting Charlotte’s family and working with local authorities.

Her friend, an American woman who met Charlotte two years ago, told police she was unable to help because her house was full, reports local outlet Folha de São Paulo.

Days later, Charlotte’s family reached out to the same friend, saying they had lost contact with her.

Concerned relatives provided police with details of her flight to Brazil and a photo of her passport to assist in the search, according Folha de São Paulo.

Although the missing persons report was initially lodged in Rio, it has since been transferred to São Paulo, where local officers are leading the investigation.

Regional officials confirmed: “The case is being investigated by the 5th Missing Persons Division of the State Department of Homicides And Personal Protection (DHPP).”

The British Embassy in Brazil said it was assisting Charlotte’s family and coordinating with local authorities.

“We are assisting the family of the British citizen and in contact with local authorities,” the embassy said in a statement.

Freelance reporter Charlotte, who describes herself online as “fluent in Portuguese,” has nine years of journalism experience, reports Brazilian outlet G1.

She has worked for major outlets such as Al Jazeera, The Times, and The Evening Standard.

The Brit has also appeared on the BBC World Service and contributed to Lonely Planet.

She previously spent time living in Brazil before returning briefly to London.

She moved back to the country in November 2024 and was last known to be in São Paulo before going silent.

Authorities have not revealed where Charlotte was staying before she disappeared.

Police say investigations are ongoing as they work to track her movements and determine what happened.

Late yesterday, the Brazilian Foreign Press Association (ACIE) urged authorities to step up their search efforts, admitting it was “worried” about Charlotte’s disappearance.

ACIE president Edmar Figueiredo, an experienced Brazilian TV journalist, said: “The Brazilian Foreign Press Association would like to publicly express its concern about the disappearance of 32-year-old British journalist Charlotte Alice Peet and show solidarity with her family and friends.

“The ACIE and its leadership call on the relevant authorities to intensify their work to try to find the missing British journalist as soon as possible.”

“As a freelance journalist, Charlotte knew some of the foreign correspondents who are members of the Brazilian Foreign Press Association,” he added.

“She reported from Brazil for foreign media, including Al Jazeera and British and even Portuguese media outlets.”

Charlotte studied philosophy at the University of Bristol before doing a masters degree in international journalism at City St George’s, University of London.

Her LinkedIn page says she worked as a reporter for the Rio Times for seven months in 2020 before becoming a foreign desk intern at The Times.

She went to work as a freelance journalist for more than five years in Brazil and London before starting to work in March last year as an editorial team lead for data generation platform Mindrift.

YOU could be one of the millions unknowingly paying hefty overdraft fees.

One in five current account customers go overdrawn by an average of £697 each day, according to research by TotallyMoney.

Alamy

Thousands of people can claim back “unaffordable” charges from their bank[/caption]

An overdraft allows you to spend money or withdraw cash even when your account balance drops below £0.

However, this convenience often comes at a cost, as banks typically charge interest on the overdrawn amount.

The interest rate applied varies depending on your account type and an “affordability check,” which assesses your credit history.

Rates can range from 14.99% to a steep 49.9%, with the most favourable terms reserved for those with excellent credit scores.

As a result, millions of account holders find themselves owing thousands of pounds and stuck in persistent debt, as there is currently no cap on the amount banks can charge.

If you’ve been in the red for a long time, or can’t afford the overdraft, you may be able to claim a refund of charges.

Sara Williams, founder of advice website Debt Camel, says: “Anyone who is in their overdraft for most or all days of the month may be able to win an overdraft affordability complaint against their bank if this has been going on for more than a year.

“If you win the complaint you could get a refund of the interest and charges you have paid.”

You may also have grounds to claim if you informed your bank that you were struggling with repayments and they failed to offer support, or if they increased your overdraft to an unaffordable level.

Unfortunately, some customers spiral into deeper debt when banks fail to identify warning signs of financial difficulty.

For instance, lenders may overlook red flags such as falling income, rising expenses, rejected direct debits, or high credit card payments.

The financial regulator requires banks to assist customers struggling with debt.

With the wealth of financial data banks hold on their customers, they should be proactive in offering support to those in need.

So, if you believe you’ve been unfairly overcharged, you may be able to claim back the money.

The Debt Camel website has a whole page dedicated to explaining how to reclaim these unfair charges and we’ve summarised the key points below.

How do I know if I’ve been unfairly charged?

There are three different reasons that overdraft fees could be deemed “unfair”. These are:

1. The bank charges have caused you financial hardship

Lenders have a responsibility to treat you fairly if you’re struggling financially to stop you from being pushed further into debt.

So if you’re in financial hardship, it should be doing all it can to help you get back on your feet rather than making the situation worse.

Sara said that an example of financial hardship includes those that are in their overdraft for all or most of the month for a prolonged period.

The Lending Code defines hardcore borrowing as “the position where a customer’s current account overdraft remains persistently overdrawn for more than a month without returning to credit during that period.”

And according to the FCA, you’re also considered to be in financial hardship if:

• You’re failing to pay the minimum repayments on borrowed cash
• You have damaging marks on your credit file.
• Most of your income is going towards paying off the debt and you may have had to take out a loan to help pay for them.
• You’ve taken out a Debt Management Plan (DMP) or other debt solution.
• You’ve been talking to a firm, such as a charity, about taking out a debt management plan or how to get help.

You’ll also need to be able to back up each point with proof, such as letters and copies of your credit history or file.

2. You asked for help from your bank but they didn’t offer you anything

If you were struggling to keep up with repayments and asked your bank for help and it didn’t offer you anything, then any subsequent charges may be unfair.

Reasons for not keeping up with the repayments include mental health problems, losing your job or taking maternity leave.

The bank should have realised that you’re in a vulnerable position and offered help.

You will need to provide proof that you spoke to your bank, what you told them and that they didn’t help you.

3. Your bank increased your limit to an unaffordable level

You may also be able to argue that you were unfairly lent to if your bank upped your overdraft without you asking and you ended up with charges that you can’t keep up with.

It doesn’t matter if you asked for your limit to be increased or if the bank just offered you an increase.

In either case, the bank should have reviewed your situation before increasing the limit, according to Sara Williams.

How do I reclaim the charges?

First, complain to your bank and say you were in financial hardship.

You do not need to know the exact dates that your limit was increased before complaining.

Banks will normally only look at complaints going back six years.

Gather proof of your situation, such as a copy of your credit file — it may show red flags proving you were in difficulty — missing payments — or that your overdraft was not affordable.

You can find a template letter, and a full guide for making a claim, at debcamel.co.uk/get-refund-overdraft.

Your lender has eight weeks to respond.

They may offer you a refund you are very happy to accept, or only refund the last year, even though your overdraft has caused you a lot of problems for a long while.

If your lender rejects your complaint or you’re not happy with what it offers, you can complain to the Financial Ombudsman Service for free, within six months of getting the letter from your bank.

Sara Williams said “This is easy – the Ombudsman has a simple online form you can use.

“But you must do this within six months of getting the decision from the bank, so don’t delay.”

How can I borrow money cheaply?

Depending on individual circumstances, some borrowers may find it more cost-effective to use alternatives to an overdraft, such as a credit card with a 0% interest period.

These credit cards allow you to move more expensive debts you already owe on to a new card, and you won’t pay interest on this amount for a set period.

For example, Barclaycard is currently offering no interest for up to 32 months on its balance transfer cards.

Some people may also have savings they could turn to, rather than to help clear their debt.

Ideally, you will have built up an emergency fund which you can dip into — but sometimes that just isn’t possible.

Before you borrow cash, do your research and find out the cheapest option for you.

And remember to speak to your bank as lenders must help if you’re in financial difficulty.

If you are looking for a cheaper way to borrow, it’s also worth considering a loan from a credit union.

They are a much cheaper alternative to payday loans, and some can even get cash to you on the same day.

The interest rate offered on these loans is substantially lower than that offered on a credit card or overdraft.

Interest ranges from 12.7% APR (1% a month) to a maximum capped rate of 42.6% APR (3.5% a month).

KEEPING condensation and mould at bay during winter in your home is a full on job. 

But there are some easy and cheap ways to stay on top of it during the cold winter months. 

Alamy

Keeping on top of mould can feel like a full-time job but our tips can help[/caption]

Aneesa Khan from VonHaus told The Sun: “We’ve all been there – waking up on a cold morning, pulling back the curtains and being greeted by water on your windows. This is one of those small annoyances of daily life.”

While you might be tempted to ignore this, you need to take action.

Aneesa said: “If left unchecked, condensation could lead to bigger problems, such as damaged paintwork – or the growth of mould.”

Not only is that black fuzz unsightly and difficult to shift without careful treatment, it can also cause health issues such as skin rashes and respiratory conditions. 

What’s more, as mould thrives in damp conditions, problems can get exacerbated during the winter. This can mean that toxic fuzz is a real scourge right now.

So what can you do to keep condensation at bay?

Bowl of rock salt

This old-school hack involves placing a bowl of salt on the windowsill to absorb moisture from the air.

Aneesa said: “Salt is ‘hygroscopic’, meaning it attracts water molecules.”

While you can use ordinary table salt – which you can buy at Asda for 65p – you may find that more ‘industrial’ rock salt works better.

This isn’t intended for consumption and is typically used as a de-icer. You can buy a 15kg bag for £8 on Amazon. 

Aneesa added: “Just bear in mind its effectiveness is limited by the amount of moisture it can absorb before becoming saturated.”

Cat litter in a sock

This pet product might seem an unconventional way of tackling a condensation problem, but can be surprisingly effective, according to Aneesa. 

She said: “Silica gel-based cat litter is particularly good because it’s designed to absorb liquids, making it capable of pulling moisture from the air.”

At Wilko, you can pick up a 3.8 litre bag for £3.49.

Aneesa said: “Simply put some into a container, such as an old sock or breathable bag, and place it in problem areas such as windowsills.

“While it’s not a permanent fix, it’s a clever and cost-effective way to reduce moisture build-up in the short term.”

Chalk and clove oil

Another technique you can try involves using an item you might already have at home in a kid’s arts-and-crafts box.

Aneesa said: “Chalk is another simple yet effective trick. Try placing it on windowsills or in other damp-prone areas to help soak up excess moisture in the air.”

If you need to buy some, you can purchase an eight-pack of giant chalk at B&M for £3.99.

Indoors living aficionado, Aneesa, added: “You can also pair this with clove oil to tackle any mould.”

This clever product has antifungal properties which can kill spores.

Aneesa said: “Not only does clove oil clean the affected area, but it is also considered a deterrent to prevent mould from coming back.”

At Boots, you can buy a 10ml bottle of the oil for £2.99. 

Shaving foam

One further hack to tackle condensation involves you rubbing a thin layer of this bathroom staple onto your window glass – and then buffing it off until clear.

The foam will create a protective film.

Aneesa said: “Shaving foam contains ‘surfactants’ which prevent water from clinging to surfaces, leaving your windows fog-free.”

For the best results, re-apply every few weeks. 

If you don’t have shaving foam to hand, then washing up liquid can be used in a similar way. 

Will they solve your mould and condensation issues?

While all of these hacks will work to some extent, you need to be aware that for homes with persistent condensation or mould problems, they are unlikely to offer a long-lasting fix. 

Aneesa said: “These low-cost tricks are worth a try, but if you want to address the root cause of the problem it’s worth thinking about investing in a more reliable solution.”

That’s where a dehumidifier might come into play.

Aneesa added: “These appliances are designed to suck moisture from your home and help maintain optimal indoor humidity levels of around 30-50%.”

While there is an upfront cost to consider, decent compact models – as we reported previously – can come in at under £35. 

Also bear in mind that if you end up needing to call in the professionals to deal with a mould problem, you might have to fork out around £300 per room, according to Checkatrade.

Find yourself with a particularly bad case and you could face a bill of around £1,200 to remove mould from your whole property.

When you factor this in, a dehumidifier feels like a sound investment.

In addition, there’s the health benefits, too, of reducing indoor humidity, particularly for those with asthma or allergies.

Other ways you can make use of your dehumidifier 

While you might assume a dehumidifier will end up sitting in a corner gathering dust when you’re not using it to deal with a damp problem, this need not be the case.

Aneesa said: “You can use your appliance to help laundry dry faster. Just set up a clothes rack, place the unit nearby, and close the door.

“The moisture gets whisked away, and your clothes dry faster without turning stiff as a board.”

Another clever use for one of these appliances is speeding up paint drying time.

The property pro said: “A dehumidifier can make the process quicker and easier. Pulling moisture from and helping the paint cure more evenly.”

You can even use your unit to help protect items in storage.

Aneesa said: “Excess moisture in storage spaces often leads to mould, mildew, and that dreaded musty smell. Run your dehumidifier in storage areas to keep the air dry and your belongings fresh.”

She added: “With a range of additional uses, this appliance can quietly earn its keep in your home.”

WE all love a dupe, especially when it lets you smell expensive on a budget.

From mimicking the scent to its lasting power, a perfume that rivals a designer one at half the price is definitely worth the investment.

Shoppers are racing to Tesco to get their hands on a smelly new range[/caption]

And shoppers are raving about Tesco’s new beauty range, which has just launched and is said to be well worth checking out.

In fact, customers are flocking to their local stores to snap up the new perfume collection, which many claim smells just like far more expensive brands.

One beauty enthusiast, who goes by the name ‘newdupes’ on TikTok, revealed that Tesco’s Skin Saints range is a must-try.

They shared a video with the caption: “Omg, run to Tesco. Look at these perfumes.”

The TikTok user first showcased the Skin Saints Eau De Parfum Rouge (100ml), currently available for £8 – or £7 with a Tesco Clubcard.

The perfume is a “unique, luxurious fragrance featuring warm saffron and rich amber wood notes.”

They claim it smells just like Baccarat Rouge, a perfume that retails for £245.

And this TikTok account isn’t the only one to think so.

Heading to Tesco’s website to comment on the perfume, one shopper wrote: “I have tried this scent now, and it lasts a good few hours. 

“Reminds me of Baccarat Rouge / inspired by that fragrance. 

“You get a good spray when you use it and it’s a large amount of fragrance.

“I think that it’s defo worth the £8…saving you so much money from the original. 

“Ideal to wear as an intense scent. Perfect for date nights or if you like a warm scent with a hint of amber and floral. 

“More of a luxurious fragrance. The quality of the bottle lid is slightly harder to open so that’s why I have given it 4/5 stars. Overall pleased with the product.”

The Newdupes TikTok account also shared other scents that smell like designer ones, including Dior Savage. 

The video shared on TikTok gained over 17.6k likes, with 220 people rushing to the comments section.

Whilst a second added: “Tesco’s trip after payday then.” 

And perfume isn’t the only beauty item that shoppers are racing for. 

If you’re a fan of the iconic Sol de Janeiro sprays but can’t quite justify spending £24 on a bottle of the viral favourite, don’t worry – you’re in the right place.  

Bargain hunters will be thrilled to hear that shoppers can now get their hands on brand-new Sol de Janeiro dupes – and they’re priced at just £4.75 each.  

Not only do they smell lovely, but at £19.25 less than the original, it’s no wonder these dupes have caused a stir online in recent years.  

The popular brand Sol de Janeiro has seen remarkable growth over the past couple of years, becoming a firm favourite among Gen Z.  

Inspired by Brazilian beach culture, the beauty brand is known for its sweet and floral scents that transport you straight to the sun-soaked summers of Brazil.
