IT feels like spring is well and truly on its way in the UK, and there’s no better way to celebrate it than by buying some new homeware.
And it seems Primark is the place to go this season as fans are in a frenzy over its new collection.

Fans have taken to social media in awe over the springhomeware buys.
One TikToker who goes by Bambi Does Beauty was left stunned and couldn’t help but fill her basket with goodies.
“Whoever is doing the buying for Primark needs a raise, because I have never seen it as good as this,” she said.
She first came across a selection of floral-themed diningware including stunning glass wine glasses with a green stem and pink scalloped-edge bowl to make it look like a tulip.
The glassware looks strikingly similar to the Morro Couple glasses Anthropologie released last year which cost £46 for a set of four.
The Primark ones are a fraction of the price, with each glass being just £4 each – saving you £30 if you bought four.
“Anthroplogie who?” she asked as she looked at the cottagecore-themed collection.
And that wasn’t the only dupe – also on offer was a selection of baby pink cabbage plates and bowls for just £4 compared to Anthropologie’s, which are £25 each.
Last but not least, she found an adorable set of pink and yellow napkins, £3.50 for two.
Currently, Anthropologie is selling a similar napkin design with scalloped edges, which costs £42 for a set of four.

“I’m a kitchen roll gal through and through but how beautiful are these?” she added.
The influencer captioned the post: “Run to Primark home for the Anthropologie dooops.”
The clip posted to her TikTok account @bambidoesbeauty went viral with over 778k views and 48k likes.
People were quick to take to the comments claiming she was at fault for making them go and buy the new range.
One person wrote: “I went the other day and bought 3 mugs, 1 glass, 1 candle and I couldn’t find another glass but I ordered it and a mini vase. Don’t have space anymore but I’m hooked.”
Another commented: “I can’t go to primark home section, my wallet can’t take it anymore.”
“We need a shopping trolley for Primark home,” penned a third.
Primark's history
PRIMARK first opened in 1969 as Pennies in Dublin, hoping to provide affordable fashion in Ireland.
A Primark store officially opened as Primark in 1974 in Derby.
The retailer now has 193 stores across the UK and 441 stores worldwide with a goal of running 530 stores by the end of 2026.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “Stop it I’m already skint.”
“It’s so underrated ugh I love Primark home,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “I need those wines glasses!”

5 days agoNew York StateComments Off on The biggest killer of men in every decade – the warning signs to look out for & the hidden dangers of back pain
IT can be a bit morbid thinking about death.
But knowing the signs and symptoms for some of the biggest killers – and how at risk you are – could actually save your life.
GettyWe reveal the most deadly conditions blokes should be aware of in every decade of their life[/caption]
GettySuicide is the biggest killer for men under the age of 35[/caption]
We asked GP Dr Rachel Ward, from Woodlands Medical Centre, Didcot, to break down the most deadly conditions every bloke should be aware of, in every decade of their life…
IN YOUR TEENS AND 20S
LOTS of people dream of being in their 20s again – no wrinkles and so few responsibilities!
But suicide is the biggest killer of men under the age of 35 and men under the age of 50, with more than three times as many men dying by suicide than women.
Dr Ward says “stigma, lack of awareness, lack of engagement in those age groups and lack of seeking help” all play a role in the devastating statistics.
She tells Sun Health: “We have to continue to raise awareness of mental illness and reduce stigma.
“There has definitely been a shift in recent years of support specifically aimed at young men (like Movember, Manup? and Tough Enough To Care), which is great.”
Suicide can kill at any age, but Dr Ward says problems getting housing and jobs are putting more pressure on young people.
“It is worrying that at present, we see so many mental health problems in teens and late school-aged children,” Dr Ward says.
“I feel we’ve very much got more of this coming as they’re entering their 20s.
“Mental health services being under such pressure is always a concern, but young people have societal pressures too.
“There needs to be more investment and support for them.”
If you are struggling with your mental health, speak to your GP.
If your life is in danger, call 999 or attend A&E.
Call the Samaritans for free on 116 123 any time, day or night.
IN YOUR 30S
YOUR 30s can be a pretty fun decade of work, family and friends.
Sadly, suicide is the biggest killer in this bracket, but you’ve also got to start thinking about your ticker.
“In men, ischemic heart disease is the biggest overall killer,” says Dr Ward.
“From a young age we need to be looking after our heart.
“The problem is, when we’re young, it’s not necessarily at the forefront of our mind, because we’re not thinking about ourselves in 20, 30 years’ time.”
This is the decade to start making lifestyle changes, if you haven’t already.
Dr Ward says: “Regular exercise (150 minutes of moderate, or 75 minutes of vigorous activity a week is recommended), not smoking and a good diet are all so core to our heart health.
“The earlier that is in place and maintained, the better – from even before 18 you can be developing plaques in your coronary arteries.”
IN YOUR 40S
GettyMen in their forties are at higher risk of health problems such as heart disease and diabetes[/caption]
NOW you’re 40-something you may be chasing after the kids or taking care of ageing parents.
It’s difficult to find the time to look after our health in this decade, with so many responsibilities – or, perhaps you have finally found the exercise you relish in.
Again, up until 49, suicide is the number one killer in this decade.
But now’s the time to start taking health checks seriously.
Dr Ward says: “If you’re entering your 40s, you need to be engaging in things like knowing that you’re not diabetic, knowing your blood pressure is okay.
“We’d always recommend people do the NHS health check from the age of 40, and that’s a really good indicator of things that might need to be addressed and conditions that might be silent or underlying.
“I always say, engage in everything that’s offered to you.
“When it comes to any screening, it’s there for a reason.”
If you haven’t been invited but think you’re eligible, contact your GP.
You’ll be told whether you’re at higher risk of health problems such as heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease and stroke, and how to lower that risk.
IN YOUR 50S AND 60S
GettyIschemic heart disease becomes the biggest killer for men in their 50s and 60s[/caption]
LIFE should be getting easier – the kids have grown up and you’ve got time for you again.
But in your 50s and 60s, ischemic heart disease becomes the biggest killer for men.
Dr Ward says knowing the signs that indicate you could have underlying heart disease is crucial at this point: “Some people have no symptoms and drop dead, but many will have warning symptoms.
“They may not understand what they are, or may choose to ignore them.”
She says to look out for: “Any chest pain when you exert yourself, feeling unusually short of breath compared to normal when you exert yourself, or poor recovery time.
“Chest pain can present in lots of different ways, it might not be that textbook left sided chest pain.
“You might actually get pain in your back, neck, shoulder, jaw.”
Heart attack chest pain can feel like discomfort, pressure, tightness of a fullness.
Many people also experience a general feeling of anxiety.
Seek medical attention and get any of these investigated.
Dr Ward adds: “Getting older, you’re more likely to have exacerbating factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes.
“It’s about trying to manage and control any other chronic health diseases to try and optimise your health.”
Your local pharmacy may offer blood pressure checks, otherwise, see your GP – and keep getting those NHS Health Checks!
You’ll also start getting a bowel cancer test kit from the age of 54 years, but the age is lowering to 50 so you might get one earlier.
IN YOUR 70S
GettyThe largest group with new lung cancer diagnoses is the 75 to 79 age bracket[/caption]
BY this point you’re hopefully well into a happy retirement.
However, the largest group with new lung cancer diagnoses is the 75 to 79 age bracket.
The disease kills almost 35,000 people in the UK every year, according to Cancer Research UK, and smokers are at increased risk.
Dr Ward says: “You have to always keep in the back of your mind things like lung cancer.
“So if you have a cough that’s not gone away after a month, if you’re coughing up any blood, if you have any pain in your chest, if you are unusually short of breath – or it actually can just present with things like being lethargic and really worn out – see your GP.”
Around 66,000 men in their 70s are diagnosed with cancer each year in the UK, according to CRUK.
Other common types vital to know are prostate and bowel cancer.
For the former, it’s important to watch out for symptoms like difficulty urinating or needing to go more often, especially at night.
Bowel cancer, on the other hand, can present with persistent changes in bowel habits, such as feeling like you haven’t fully emptied, constipation or diarrhoea, blood in your stools, or unexplained weight loss.
Early detection is key for both, so don’t hesitate to speak to your GP if you notice any changes, no matter how embarrassing the topic.
IN YOUR 80S
Alzheimer’s and dementia are the biggest killers in men aged 80 or more
FOR men over the grand old age of 80, Alzheimer’s and dementia are the biggest killers, and around six out of 10 cases go undiagnosed.
Dr Ward says: “Often people think they don’t want to know if they’ve got dementia because it’s really daunting.
“But we do have drugs which can slow down progression and there are certain types of dementia, like vascular dementia, where we need to optimise cardiovascular health, and also put support in place for you and your family.
“You can have an initial memory test at your GP.”
Common early symptoms include forgetting recent events, struggling to follow a conversation or asking questions repeatedly.
It may take a family member to spot these changes.
IN YOUR 90S
GettyProstate cancer kills 12,000 men a year, with mortality rates highest in over 90-year-olds[/caption]
The Olympic legend was diagnosed at the age of 47.
That said, mortality rates for the disease are highest in men over 90.
The disease kills 12,000 men a year, rising steadily from 55-59, CRUK stats show.
There is currently no screening test, but there is a PSA blood test which you can have done by a GP.
Dr Ward says it’s “not perfect” but can help indicate prostate cancer, so you can be referred for additional testing: “We’d advise men to get regular PSA tests, particularly over the age of 50, or potentially even younger, if they’ve got family history.
“If you notice a change in your urinary habits, such as getting up to go to the loo in the night more frequently, dribbling, poor flow, hesitancy, blood in your urine or semen, these could be indicators.
“Any change is worth getting checked out.”
Dr Ward recommends taking Prostate Cancer UK’s Risk Checker.
It’s a 30-second, three-question quiz that can flag whether you’re more at risk of the disease.
‘I WENT FROM SKIPPING AT THE GYM TO HAVING A TRIPLE HEART BYPASS’
Sohel Islam, 48, is a managing director of a pharmaceutical company who lives in Sabden, near Clithero with his wife, Elizabeth, 44, son, 16, and daughter, 19.
In November 2023, he had a cardiac arrest, triggered by a heart attack, at the gym.
Sohel says: “I was doing circuits, but when it came to skipping, I couldn’t get my coordination right.
“I collapsed. My gym instructor felt my pulse and realised I desperately needed CPR.
“Luckily, two ambulances were less than 10 minutes away.
“The paramedics gave me five defibrillator shocks.
“I went to Royal Blackburn Hospital by blue-light before being transferred to Blackpool Victoria Hospital.
“I needed a triple bypass, which I had in December 2023.
“During the first 48 hours, the doctors told my family to fear for the worst because they didn’t think I was going to make it.
“We were close anyway, but it’s made us even closer.
“When I collapsed, I had no idea I was at risk.
“With hindsight, a couple of times I’d felt pain on the left-hand side.
“I should have questioned it.
“My father had a quadruple bypass, so there’s some hereditary aspect that makes me more susceptible.
“Maybe being a man, you just don’t go to the doctor.
“I feel very lucky to still be here.
“I’ve been given a second lease of life and I’m trying to make the most of it.”
Sohel ran 5k of the Lakeland Trails series to raise funds for the British Heart Foundation which has been awarded £1.7million to study the causes of heart disease in underrepresented groups, particularly people with a South Asian background, who have among the highest rates of cardiovascular disease.
5 days agoNew York StateComments Off on Bonnie Blue told she needs to go to JAIL as she baits worried parents of kids on first teen holiday with ‘feral’ message
THE NOTORIOUS OnlyFans model Bonnie Blue has sparked yet another wave of fury after baiting already worried parents with a ”feral” message.
Bonnie recently announced she will be doing another sick Spring Break challenge this yearInstagramInstagramThe Brit porn star is known for sleeping with 18-year-olds to ‘help them lose their virginity’ and recording it for her OnlyFans page[/caption]
tiktok/@bonnie_blue_xoxoBonnie, who’s been banned from Australia for a similar stunt, recently revealed another gross move of the sick challenge[/caption]
Her sick stunts, which included attending Nottingham Trent University and offering students sex if they let her film the bizarre encounters, has led her to be branded as a “predator” by many critics.
Bonnie had planned to visit a uni on Australia’s Gold Coast for free “sex marathons” where she’d bonk freshers and film the X-rated sessions before flogging the footage online.
However, her plans suffered a huge blow after her visa was cancelled by the Department of Home Affairs on November 7.
And now Bonnie, wholeftsocial mediausers stunned after uploadinga cryptic ”cravings” post on Instagram last month, has revealed twisted plans for her Spring Break challenge.
In the United States, Spring Break is usually a week or two long and takes place in early spring, around Easter.
Although it is usually meant to give college students a break from classes and studies. However, many use it to travel, party, drink, hang out at the beach with their pals.
She announced the gross news on TikTok, saying: ”I’m going to livestream my experience with some of the Spring Breakers, especially those barely legal.
”So if you’re a parent wondering what your kid’s getting up to at Spring Break, don’t worry – I’m going to livestream it for you.”
‘So wrong, needs to go to jail’
The shocking announcement has been met with criticism by many, who slammed the porn star for the ”crazy” challenge.
One critic told the OnlyFans content creator: ”Barely legal…. Bonnie sort yourself out.”
Someone else chimed in: ”Can’t wait to witness the downfall of Bonnie blue/ that Phillips girl. Trauma Documentary literally writing itself.”
”So wrong, needs to go jail,” a viewer wrote.
”Someone needs to end this madness,” another begged.
The 25-year-old shockingly said she wants to find the “freshest fluids” she can, after flying Stateside for another Spring Break challenge.
“I don’t think I’ve gone young enough yet,” she mused.
“I want the most barely-legal 18 year old.
“Ideally just 30 seconds past midnight.”
The caption of the video reads: “Spending your 18th birthday at Spring Break? Let Bonnie Blue make you a real man!”
Bonnie is currently in Mexico, and is planning to perform the shocking stunt at Spring Break in Grand Oasis, Cancun, next month.
Who is Bonnie Blue?
Born in May 1999, Bonnie – whose real name is Tia Billinger – grew up in a small Derbyshire village, and attended the Friesland School in the village of Sandiacre.
She has two half-siblings – a sister and a brother – who have always remained out of the public eye.
She never knew her biological father, and considers stepfather Nicholas Elliott her dad.
Bonnie also became something of a dance star in her local area, and competed in the British Street Dance Championships alongside her sister back in 2015.
She also had a part-time job at Poundstretcher as a teenager.
After school, she began working in recruitment.
In October 2022, Bonnie married Oliver Davidson, who she had started dating when she was just 15.
Once they were married, they moved to Australia, where Bonnie continued working in recruitment.
However, it was in Australia that she decided to pursue a different line of work, and tried her luck as a ‘cam girl’ – crediting Oliver for giving her the confidence to enter the adult entertainment world.
She quickly made a name for herself in the industry, and was soon making £5,000 a week.
But while her work life was going from strength to strength, her relationship was crumbling, and she and Oliver split after almost a decade together.
She moved over to OnlyFans following her cam girl success, and once again found fame on there.
She quickly became a favourite on the site, especially thanks to her “niche” of sleeping with young male students – such as when she bedded 158 students during Nottingham Trent University’s freshers week in September 2024.
Bonnie is now estimated to be worth £3 million, and makes around £600,000 a month on OnlyFans.
Her family are also supportive of her work, with mum Sarah Billinger even claiming she’s her daughter’s PA, and helps clean up after Bonnie’s events – as well as handing out condoms to young clients.
In January 2025, Bonnie claimed to have broken the world record for the most amount of sex in 12 hours, after apparently sleeping with 1,057 men from 1pm to 1am at a secret London event.
Her new plan comes after she claimed to have broken the record for sleeping with the most amount of men in 12 hours, bedding a reported 1,057.
The participants wore blue balaclavas and lined up on the staircase of the London mansion to get their turn with Bonnie, with their ‘session’ said to be around 40 seconds each.
A video has since emerged of Bonnie addressing the crowds before the shocking stunt.
“This is for you,” she said, as she stood facing the crowd of men.
“Like I don’t want it to seem like, I don’t know, intimidating.
“You don’t want it to be.”
She was quickly slammed for her “absolutely disgusting” behaviour by horrified people online, with one raging: “Bottom of humanity, her and all of the men there”.
“What’s wrong with you, woman?” another questioned.
“Absolutely disgusting behaviour and all the men that turned up are just as bad,” a third slammed.
“If you are a young lady growing up in this world please know this is not ok and you do not have to behave at all like this for attention.”
Bonnie – real name Tia Billinger – also came under fire recently after she brazenly claimed that sleeping with “barely legal” young teens is “educational” – for them, and anyone that tunes in to watch the sex-ploits deemed “vile” by many.
She told GB News that her stunts “not only… educate those I sleep with, but I also get a video that can educate the wider audience.
“So when I sleep with students or barely legals, it shows me discussing consent with him and it also gives them an opportunity to tell me what they like.”
Bonnie, who reportedly earns around $1 million on OnlyFans, told MailOnline: “I’m grateful to the barely-legals and 1,057 men who afforded me my new Ferrari, and can’t wait to continue to use my earnings to give back.”
