BARGAIN hunters are rushing to Sainsbury’s to buy Brits’ beloved biscuits that now come with an “Easter twist”.

Fans have gone wild over the latest edition of the iconic British biscuits.

Sainsbury’s is selling the all-new Hot Cross Bun flavoured Custard Cream biscuits for just 65p.

Bargain hunters and snack-time lovers flooded the comment section after news of the arrival was shared on social media.

Posting about it on Facebook, one customer wrote: “New Hot Cross Bun Custard Creams spotted at Sainsbury’s.”

Another intrigued shopper said: “Interesting one. Would love to try these.”

Meanwhile, a third person wrote: “Adding these to my Saino’s shopping list.”

“Oooh, I need to dunk them in my cuppa,” agreed a fourth.

It comes after a flavour of an iconic biscuit branded “Aussie gold” has landed exclusively in a major supermarket.

The Australian treat, Tim Tam, has come out with a new extra chocolatey flavour.

Fans have obsessed over the choc, which launched in the UK last year.

Now, UK shoppers can get their hands on the latest edition, which has an extra layer of smooth milk chocolate added.

Talyah Falabella, Tim Tam’s International Marketing Manager, said: “For over 60 years, Tim Tam has been Australia’s favourite chocolaty biscuit.

“We’re excited to bring another irresistible addition to the UK, offering the ultimate indulgence for chocolate lovers.”

Chocolate lovers rejoiced when the biscuits became available in the UK for the first time last year.

And were available at Waitrose and Ocado, before then being stocked at Tesco.

It comes as iant bags of Quality Street chocolates are scanning for just £2.50 at Sainsbury’s tills.

Originally the Quality Street refill packs were selling for £8 but a few weeks after Christmas supermarkets have slashed prices in hopes of getting rid of their extra stock.

A MAJOR breast cancer screening drive will see celebs writing “personal” letters to women, urging them to attend life-saving screenings.

It’s hoped that the campaign – backed by Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas and presenters Victoria Derbyshire and Julia Bradbury – will help spot thousands more breast cancer cases earlier.

Women get their first breast screening invite between the ages of 50 and 53[/caption]

NHS England has launched it’s first-ever breast cancer screening campaign, as figures showed that over four in ten invited for their first breast check don’t take up the invitation.

In 2023 there were 18,942 tumours detected out of 1.93million women screened for breast cancer, but a further 1.05m women who were invited did not attend.

The one per cent detection rate means there were potentially 10,000 missed cases.

Women registered with a GP are automatically invited for NHS breast screening between the ages of 50 and 53, then every three years until the age of 71.

The campaign – supported by Breast Cancer UK and Cancer Research UK – encourages women to make the most of regular mammograms and shows that screenings can detect cancers as early as possible.

If 80 per cent of those eligible for a breast check had one in the next year, nearly a million more women could be screened compared to 2022/23, NHSE estimated.

Meanwhile, over 7,500 breast cancers could be detected at an earlier stage, when they are more treatable.

Adverts will be splashed across TV, radio and online, but celebs will also add a “personal” touch to the drive.

Strictly judge Shirley Ballas, Newsnight anchor Victoria Derbyshire and presenter Julia Bradbury will all write “unofficial” invitation letters to women, sharing their own personal screening experiences to reassure them and encourage them to attend. 

Victoria penned an open letter to women invited for breast checks, saying: “I’ve had breast screening multiple times. For me it was painless and I was happy to be screened; my motivation was to make sure any irregularities were picked up – because the earlier breast cancer is detected, the greater the chance of survival.”

The anchor was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015.

She said: “When I was diagnosed, I thought I wouldn’t get to see my two little boys grow up (then aged 8 and 11).

“I thought I wouldn’t get to grow old with my partner Mark. I’m still here thanks to the skill of the NHS – 2025 will be 10 years since I was diagnosed.

“Breast screening might just help save your life. Please go.”

Cancer survivors, NHS staff and TV doctors will also join the celebrities in sharing letters.

Around 56,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer every year.

The disease can also affect men, with 400 cases spotted each year.

NHS national cancer director, Dame Cally Palmer, said: “Breast screening detects breast cancers earlier and saves lives – but we know for many women there can be lots of reasons why they might be reluctant to come forward, or why it’s not top of the priority list in their very busy lives.

“We hope that by hearing other women’s stories, it will reassure them and remind them why screening is so important.

“Cancer survival is at an all-time high in England thanks to a real focus on early detection – and we want hundreds of thousands more women to access screening so that any breast cancers can be spotted as early as possible to help save more lives.”  

Claire Rowney, chief executive at Breast Cancer Now, said the charity was thrilled about NHSE’s new campaign, adding: “For too long thousands of women have missed out on the vital screening that saves lives from breast cancer.”

She noted that breast cancer screening uptake tends to be lower in people ling “in more deprived areas and from certain minority ethnic communities”.

“As such, NHS England’s plans to focus especially on reaching women who are less likely to get screened and often face additional barriers to attending, is so crucial to the success of this campaign,” she stressed.

The campaign comes as a new NHS survey of 2,000 women showed that almost 40 per cent rarely or never talk about breast screening with their female friends and families, and almost a quarter of women said they wouldn’t attend if they didn’t already have symptoms like a lump.

More than a fifth also said that embarrassment at being topless in front of someone would prevent them from attending, and 18.5 per cent were concerned the screening might be painful.

NEARLY six pubs were shut every week last year as they were hit by rising business costs.

In total, 289 boozers closed in 2024, resulting in 4,500 job losses.

The number of English and Welsh pubs fell to 45,345, from 47,613 in 2019.

Industry leaders said closures were avoidable but had been forced by crippling energy bills.

They are calling on ministers to step in when the business rates discount for hospitality businesses is slashed in April.

And with the National Insurance rise and minimum wage boost, the British Beer and Pub Association warned of an additional £650million hit.

The Sun’s Save Our Sups campaign is calling on ministers to throw a lifeline to boozers.

The BBPA’s Emma McClarkin said: “The scale of these closures is completely avoidable because pubs are doing a brisk trade.

“Consumer demand is there, however, profits are being wiped out with sky high bills and pubs are facing yet more rates and costs come April.”

BUSINESSES are planning the most brutal round of job cuts in a decade to offset Labour’s tax rises, a survey reveals.

A third of employers are preparing to slash staff through redundancies or reduced hiring, while two in five say they will raise prices.

The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development said Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ £25billion hike to employers’ National Insurance from April is tanking confidence.

Its analysis of more than 2,000 firms found a “sharp increase in redundancy intentions” since her October Budget.

Chief executive Peter Cheese warned: “These are the most significant downward changes in employer sentiment we’ve seen in the last ten years, outside of the pandemic.

“Employer confidence has been impacted by planned changes to employment costs, and employment indicators are heading in the wrong direction.

“Businesses have had time to digest these impending changes, with many now planning to reduce headcount, raise prices and cut investment in workforce training.”

Labour’s growth mission is also at risk, with a quarter of firms warning they will scrap plans to expand.

But Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds told Times Radio: “Stick with us, this is the right platform for the UK.”

A Federation of Small Businesses survey found firms’ confidence hit its lowest recorded point outside the pandemic in last year’s fourth quarter.

It is hoped the personal touch will get more women patients to take up their first mammogram.

It came as figures showed more than four in ten turned down their first invitation, making it harder to spot cancers early on.

Some 7,500 additional breast cancers could be detected at an earlier stage, when they are more treatable.

BBC Newsnight anchor, Victoria Derbyshire, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, writes in her letter: “I’ve had breast screening multiple times.

“When I was diagnosed, I thought I wouldn’t get to see my two little boys grow up (then aged 8 and 11).

“I thought I wouldn’t get to grow old with my partner Mark.

“I’m still here thanks to the skill of the NHS – 2025 will be 10 years since I was diagnosed.

“Breast screening might just help save your life. Please go.”

Women are entitled to their first screening between the ages 50 and 53, then every three years afterwards until the age of 71.

In all, 56,000 breast cancer diagnoses are given every year.
