Victoria's Secret £35 crinkle swimsuit looks just like a £175 designer version
As summer approaches, many of us are fantasising about sun-drenched escapes, poolside Aperols and, naturally, a swimsuit update to match. If you've been captivated by the sleek, stretchy, crinkle-textured bikinis that have taken over social media, you're in good company.
The crinkle trend, spearheaded by cult brand Hunza G, has hit the mainstream, boasting celebrity admirers, vibrant hues, and its signature one-size-fits-most fit. However, with Hunza G's prices starting at £90, it is a costly option.
Fortunately, Victoria's Secret has ushered in its trendy phase with a new swimwear line offering designer vibes at a fraction of the cost. Its latest collection captures all the sculpting, retro-meets-contemporary appeal of the trend without the hefty price tag, reports the Manchester Evening News.
The brand's Dream On bikini top and matching bottoms are crafted from an ultra-stretchy textured scrunch fabric designed to flatter every body shape. Sold separately, the pair costs £101 altogether - still significantly more affordable than Hunza G's £185 version.
Victoria's Secret also offers a one-piece in the same crinkle-style fabric for £35. Compared to Hunza G's £175 crinkle swimsuit at Net-A-Porter, shoppers can save £140.

Product Description
The universally flattering crinkle style is also available as a one-shoulder bikini top in stylish green, black, and red. Two types of bottoms are on offer: high-leg briefs or high-waisted.
Of course, Victoria's Secret isn't the only brand offering budget-friendly crinkle swimsuits. Bravissimo has a stunning swimming costume available in four colours, including a vibrant pink, priced at £75.
Boohoo also has an array of designs, with prices beginning at £8. Our top pick is this belted scoop swimsuit in a playful neon orange; it's bound to turn heads poolside.
Returning to Victoria's Secret, there are currently no reviews for the crinkle swimsuits online, but shoppers can find reviews on Trustpilot of the brand. One reviewer rated the retailer five stars, saying: "Really good items. I have used this brand for 15 years, and I am very happy with every order I make from them."
A second wasn't pleased with their online order, saying: "Purchased a pair of sweatpants around black Friday and the top which was too big, so I washed them and they shrunk. I'm disappointed all that money and they are too darn short."
A third five-star reviewer concludes: "Marvellous lingerie at good prices. I've bought many panties of different styles and colours, and I got for free a very glamorous VS bag. Very fast shipping, easy and fast return. I'm extremely satisfied!"
Back to the crinkle-cut one-piece, it's worth noting that the fabric may be more susceptible to snagging, due to its texture. However, if you're aiming to exude designer swimwear vibes without the hefty price tag, Victoria's Secret could make your summer packing significantly more affordable.

Liam Gallagher shares huge life update during Oasis' Croke Park concert
Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher has made a candid admission about his sobriety as Oasis kicked off their first gig at Dublin's historic Croke Park on Saturday night Liam Gallagher made a 'sober' confession as Oasis launched their gig at Croke Park on Saturday night (August 16). After already taking Cardiff, Heaton Park, Wembley Stadium and Murrayfield Stadium by storm, the Gallagher brothers returned to Ireland for the first time since 2008. The last time Oasis performed in the country where they once had a holiday home was at Slane Castle, Ireland's largest music venue. Their two sold-out nights in Dublin were hosted at the home of the GAA, the sports federation responsible for Gaelic football and hurling. With over 160,000 tickets snapped up, many Irish fans were left disappointed in their attempts to secure the coveted tickets last year, reports the Manchester Evening News. Excitement was mounting throughout the city all day, with plenty of bucket hats being worn to combat the sun and high temperatures. It comes after Lennon decided to snub the Dublin concerts and jetted to Ibiza. Once again, The Verve's Richard Ashcroft served as the opening act, who managed to down a pint of Guinness in one gulp, choosing not to split the G. Following the same set-list used at all their gigs so far, Oasis kicked off their show with Hello, before diving into Acquiesce and Morning Glory. Liam donned his signature green Kangol, while Noel wore a crisp white shirt, as the younger brother announced 'Dublin City in the area'. Before performing Some Might Say, Liam took a moment to reflect on playing in Croke Park for the first time. He said: "I think I'm a Croke Park virgin! We haven't played here before, have we? All I do know [is] this [is] the soberest I've been in Ireland since I was about four or five or something like that," he said. Whilst Liam is correct in saying it was his maiden appearance at the venue, Noel had previously backed U2 with his High Flying Birds in 2017. Later during the evening, Liam challenged the audience's clapping and Mexican waves just moments after hailing them as 'lunatics'. "I never asked you to clap out of time or do a Mexican wave. But you've gotta turn around and put your arms up and jump up and down like you don't care. If I can do it, so can you," he quipped.

Brilliant theme park 90-minutes from Liverpool and Manchester that kids won't want to leave
This theme park in North Wales is set against the stunning backdrop of the Snowdonia mountains and home to a large variety of unique rides and nature-focused experiences This theme park with enough attractions to captivate both younger and older children is every parent's summer wish come true. It is even more enticing with it comes with a picturesque setting that offers a touch of escapism for grown-ups as well. There's absolutely no question that GreenWood theme park in North Wales boasts an idyllic location - proudly eco-friendly and nestled against the breathtaking Snowdonia mountain range. Should you be planning a family break in North Wales this year, or simply fancy a relatively straightforward day trip from Manchester, this park ranks among the finest attractions around. It comes after sunbed wars see Brits forced to queue for 'over an hour' just to get to the pool. The journey takes approximately 90 minutes by car from Manchester, but it follows one of the most uncomplicated routes possible (via the A55 beyond Llandudno and A5 through Bangor). The stress-free journey also provides magnificent coastal vistas along North Wales. As one Manchester Evening News writer discovered, travelling with two children aged 9 and 5, the theme park provides a thoroughly packed day out with an abundance of activities - plus a genuine diversity of rides that sets it apart from typical theme parks. Consider, for instance, its Green Dragon rollercoaster - marketed as the "world's first people-powered rollercoaster". It's apparently the only theme park attraction of its type in the world- but don't fret, it doesn't require everyone to run Flintstones -style to power the ride. The attraction utilises funicular technology, first introduced in Welsh slate mines two centuries ago. All passengers clamber into a carriage which descends a hill, powering the rollercoaster up the incline. There are plenty of very unique features to encounter at this family attraction. Another is the Barefoot Trail - where you kick off your shoes and stroll through the woodland, allowing your feet to feel an invigorating variety of surfaces from water to straw and stones. There is stilt walking for beginners, archery, and during the first week of the school summer holidays, there are virtually no queues for any of the 20+ rides across the site. The only unavoidable wait will likely be for one of the park's more spectacular highlights - the colossal Solar Splash water ride. Another world-first, this ride is powered by solar energy, and allows both kids and adults to zoom down two massive central chutes, or a spiral chute next to them, before making a splash landing at the end. All the wild woodland play features scattered across the site, add an extra dose of intrigue. The park is nestled against a hillside so be prepared for some gentle inclines as you explore the grounds. The on-site Woodbarn restaurant boasts a large soft play barn inside, ensuring your little ones are kept amused while you order food and wait for it to be served at your table. The attraction has recently introduced alpaca walks that you can book as an extra (for £20), where children aged over 4 accompanied by their parents can meet and feed the three resident alpacas on the site. You can then embark on a guided walk with these furry creatures around their enclosure. Treetop Towers, filled with slides and climbing adventures, are situated across the park, and you can walk up to the top of the site to take in the view from the Snowdonia View Point. Entry is £25 per person for anyone over 1m, while those under 1m pay £10. A family ticket saver option is also available, costing £95 for a family of four (saving you a bit at £23.75 each). GreenWood is offering a 'Pay Once, Visit Twice' deal for the summer holidays. If you visit between 19th July and 24th August, you can return within seven days at no extra cost. Dogs are also allowed in for free, provided they're well-behaved and kept on leads.

Our Yorkshire Farm's Amanda Owen 'so proud' as she pays tribute to sons
Our Yorkshire Farm star Amanda Owen shared a rare snap of her sons on Friday Our Yorkshire Farm star Amanda Owen said, "I am so proud", as she paid tribute to her sons. The Yorkshire Shepherdess lives and works on Ravenseat Farm alongside her ex-husband, Clive, and their nine children. Their inaugural documentary programme launched on Channel 5 in 2018, and has subsequently emerged as one of the network's most beloved shows. Last year, Channel 4 commissioned a ten-episode series, entitled Our Farm Next Door, which chronicles the family as they tackle the restoration of a 200-year-old farmhouse in the Yorkshire Dales. The second series premiered earlier this year, with the programme being commissioned for two additional seasons this week, reports the Manchester Evening News. On Friday (August 15), Amanda took to Instagram to deliver a touching announcement to her supporters. Accompanied by photographs with her sons, Reuben, Miles and Sidney, on their farm, Amanda penned: "We've made hay while the sun shone and also when it slightly drizzled. Typical catchy weather. "At the helm the dream team. My lads, I am so very proud of them all. Hard working, funny, polite and kind. Untidy, always hungry, messy, loud and always oily. (The white dress was asking for trouble)." Supporters swiftly flocked to the comments section to express their support, with one individual posting: "Beautiful photos and lads to be proud of! Have a lovely weekend!" Another contributed: "Can't believe how grown up Sid looks, they are some fine looking lads Amanda. Credit to you and Clive." A third praised: "You brought them all up amazing," while another echoed: "You've done a great job the two of you, what lovely children you've raised." The upcoming third and fourth series of Our Farm Next Door will document the family's ambitious interior renovation project at Anty John's, including the installation of plumbing and running water. Following the announcement of the show's renewal this week, Amanda expressed her joy in a statement: "I am beyond delighted that we have been given the opportunity to showcase this unique and beautiful part of our British countryside and for people to join us on our exciting journey through the restoration of our farm next door. "We're grateful for Channel 4's support and the effort and utter dedication of the film crew who have had to work in challenging weather conditions, coupled with the unimaginable chaos of both children and animals. This is a programme that I am seriously proud of."
