'I tried the Harrods £160 Japanese mango and was so surprised'
A food reviewer decided to try a Japanese mango from luxury department store Harrods with a hefty price tag and share her thoughts. As we're getting into summer, many people enjoy mangos around this time of year as they are in season A UK vlogger tried a luxury mango from Harrods and has given her verdict. Laura Khoshaba bought the Japanese mango from Harrods which comes in a box of two for £160. The mangoes are not sold separately. Laura posted a video on TikTok to share her thoughts, where she often reviews expensive food products online. In her post, she included a clip of the mangoes on display in the luxury London department store with a sign that states they are 'one of the most sought-after fruits in the world '. They are grown in the Miyazaki prefecture in the south of Japan and are also known as the 'Egg of the Sun.' The expensive bright red mangoes come in a nice red box with Japanese writing on it and are each wrapped in their own pink packaging. Laura took one out of the box and her first comment was 'that's heavy' as she held the fruit in her hand. According to Bokksu, a Japanese snack box subscription, each Miyazaki mango weighs at least 350 grams. The food reviewer cut one of the Harrods mangoes into pieces to reveal how it looked inside and juice oozed out of the fruit. She said: 'This looks amazing. This is so juicy.' Before taking a bite, she shared that she was 'so excited.' Laura taste tested the mango and was visibly satisfied as she couldn't help but smile while eating it. There was one thing in particular that impressed her. She added: 'That was so smooth, I barely had to chew it. Wow.' The foodie even declared: 'That is the best mango I've ever had in my life.' She gave the Japanese mango a ten out of ten rating. She then turned her attention towards the price as she acknowledged: 'I mean £160? It's unreal though.' Laura described it as 'amazing' and showed how much juice fell onto her hands to emphasise how juicy the mango was. She continued to take bites of the fruit until there was only the skin left and dubbed it the 'best fruit' she has ever had. The display sign above the mangoes in Harrods explains that in order to be called 'Egg of the Sun' mangoes, each fruit has to be grown to the highest standard and pass a 'strict inspection' to make sure the size, colour, shape and sweetness are perfect. Bokksu claims that it's what's inside that sets these mangoes apart from other types. It elaborates: 'Beneath the vibrant skin lies a vivid golden-yellow flesh that is intensely sweet, juicy, and nearly free of fibre. 'The texture is creamy and smooth - so much so that a bite almost dissolves in your mouth. They're not just mangoes - they're an experience.' Laura's TikTok video has amassed more than 900 comments with viewers having their say on the luxury mangoes. One user, taken back by the price, asked: 'What is this mango made of? £160 for what.' Another added: 'No mango is worth £160, no one can convince me.' However, a third user said it 'looks amazing.'

Disney+ deal cuts subscription price to £1.99 - but you'll need to act fast
Disney+ has reintroduced a highly sought-after streaming deal, offering subscriptions for £1.99. The streaming giant has launched a 'limited-time promotion' that provides a 60% saving compared to the regular price. The offer lets new and returning customers subscribe to Disney+ Standard with Ads for £1.99 a month, a deal which will last for four months. Ordinarily, this would amount to £19.96 in total, but it's currently available for only £7.96 – a saving of £12. However, this bargain won't be available indefinitely and is set to finish on June 30. Following the four-month promotional period, Disney+ Standard with Ads will automatically renew at the prevailing monthly retail price unless cancelled. This deal puts Disney+ as the cheapest big streaming site, even when compared to the lowest subscription tiers of Netflix (£5.99), Amazon's Prime Video (£5.99) and Apple TV+ (£8.99). The timing of this offer coincides with an exciting summer schedule of new and returning films and series, headlined by the Disney blockbuster Snow White, which is currently available for streaming. Other releases slated for this summer include Marvel's Ironheart (June 25), season four of The Bear (June 26) and the new prequel series Alien: Earth (August 13). These additions will further enrich an already extensive library featuring recent hits and critically acclaimed series such as Andor, Welcome to Wrexham, Rivals, Only Murders in the Building and Shōgun, reports the Mirror. For £1.99, subscribers can access a wealth of entertaining content, including Stolen Girl, Good American Family, and the second season of the hit reality show, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. While some may worry about ads disrupting their viewing experience, Disney+ has limited commercials to an average of less than four minutes per hour, fewer than traditional TV broadcasts. Additionally, ads are only shown before a movie begins, not during the actual screening. Those willing to commit to a full year upfront on the Standard or Premium plan will essentially receive two months free. By opting for an annual subscription, users can enjoy 12 months of access for the price of 10, saving up to £25.98 in the process. This upgrade also includes superior video quality, with up to 4K UHD and HDR, as well as the ability to stream on four devices at once. Members of Disney+ have expressed their satisfaction with the service on Trustpilot, with one reviewer stating: "Offering a fantastic and constantly updated collection." Another fan raved about the addition of new content, stating: "I love Disney+. I'm a Star Wars and Marvel fan but since the addition of Starz it boosted my love, there's even more content for adults now that's worth it all round." However, this same reviewer felt the service fell slightly short, commenting: "The only reason it didn't get five stars is Disney are not using their other brands in the subscription. If they did this, it could easily be the best subscription service ever, but there is much more content locked behind their own service." Yet another glowing five-star review reads: "Good servers, good services, this nostalgia when watching old cartoons from TV. The subscription is really cheap compared to other streaming services."

Bianca Censori's sister joins Kanye's crew after denying she's dating his pal
Bianca Censori's younger sister, Angelina, has been spending time with her sibling and Kanye West in Japan after holidaying with the couple in Spain where Bianca caused quite a stir Bianca Censori's sister, Angelina, is officially part of Kanye West's crew after joining the rapper as he jet-sets around the world. Bianca, 30, has sent shockwaves through the showbiz industry since hooking up with Kanye, 48, sporting her barely-there outfits - and now Angelina has been thrust into the spotlight too. After hanging out with Kanye and his gang in Spain last month, where Bianca dropped jaws flashing her nipples in another eye-popping outfit, 20-year-old Angelina is travelling with the rapper's entourage in Japan. The Aussie model took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a series of photos of their latest trip, including images from popular chain restaurant WAGYUMAFIA and snaps of the Japanese skyline. Kanye West bizarrely 'changes name again' four years after complete rebrand Meanwhile, a photo of Kanye posing in designer vintage store Amore in Japan also emerged online. The Jesus Walks star sported a plain black hooded jumper with the hood pulled over his head for the shopping trip as he posed without cracking a smile. A second image also emerged showing graffiti scrawled on a wall that read: 'Ye is GOD,' while a third showed the name of Kanye and ex-wife Kim Kardashian's eldest child North West. During her trip with the controversial rapper, Angelina rubbished rumours she was dating Kanye business partner, Sneako. The whispers came after she shared a series of photos from their Mallorca trip, which included Sneako posing for the camera at a luxury waterfront property Kanye was believed to be staying in while Angelina stunned in a silver string bikini. Fans flocked to social media, suggesting Angelina and Sneako were more than just friends. However, the model shut down any romance rumours by writing on X: "We are not dating." It comes after Bianca 'horrified' locals in Spain when she paraded through the quiet streets of Mallorca in her bra and knickers. Witnesses say locals were left horrified by Bianca's outfit choice for their market tour, with one even heard asking if that was her "real nipple" as she bared all in her the sheer bra. "People were horrified. They could be heard asking 'is that her real nipple?' as they walked by. Kanye was standing back a little, letting her browse the market," a witness told Bianca might have been hit by backlash, but women have been allowed to go topless in some areas of Spain since 2020. Under Catalan equality law, women can sunbathe topless in public places without fear of arrest and authorities can be fined a huge £430,000 if they prevent women from being able to go topless. However, while she didn't break any laws, people were left fuming by the Aussie's outfit choice. "Why hasn't this woman been arrested for indecency yet!!!?' one person wrote on X, with another adding: "We have literally seen it all, even when we didn't want to,' another said, while a third wrote: 'So disrespectful to the country and their modest views." Another fumed: "How do they get away with this nudity? If any other non-celeb tried it, they would be arrested."
