Supermarket shoppers rush to buy suitcases on sale for just £8 – and they're perfect for Ryanair flights this summer
HOLIDAY season is nearly upon us, with millions of Brits planning sun-soaked trips abroad. But if you're looking to save cash on luggage allowance and planning on travelling light this year, we've found the perfect deal. Morrisons is flogging Lugg Venus Cabin Bags for just £8 - and they meet the size requirements on Ryanair flights. One savvy shopper snapped up the deal and shared their find on Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK. The suitcase comes with detachable wheels to help squeeze into Ryanair's 40cm x 20cm x25cm limit. "Look at these!" one wrote, tagging a friend. "Wait, what? The wheels come off? I bought this last week and didn't realise," a second joked. "Wow that's a great price. I might nip there later," a third added. Although not everyone is sold, one person wrote: "Was going to get one the other day but they are absolutely tiny. You'd fit more in a holdall." They added that they struggled to remove the wheels, too. Another added: "Best off for children, rather than carry on. I bought one last week, I'm 5'3 and the handle isn't long enough to pull along." All Ryanair passengers can bring a small personal bag on board but this must fit under the seat in front of you. Savvy parents race to their local supermarket as they spot branded sports bargains for just £7 in the clothing section All over-sized cabin bags will be refused at the boarding gate, or where available put in the hold for a fee. Anyone wanting to bring another bag, you'll need to upgrade and pay extra for priority and two cabin bags or checked baggage. Amazon is also selling a Ryanair-approved holdall for just £13.29. The Narwey carry on comes in a range of colours, including black, grey, purple, black and pink and comes with a padded shoulder strap for comfort. For those after check in luggage, Dunelm is selling a tough shell, metallic large suitcase for £45. And for short breaks or business trips, Sports Direct is selling a Slazenger lightweight cabin case for £14.99. The case has extendable sizing, plenty of pockets and even comes with a padlock. It's one of the cheapest branded cabin bags we've seen, down by a whopping £30. However it will have to be checked in as hold luggage for RyanAir, Jet2 and EasyJet.

Bryce Dallas Howard leads improv comics undercover in film 'Deep Cover'
LONDON, June 4 (Reuters) - "Jurassic World" actor Bryce Dallas Howard takes on London's criminal underworld in action comedy "Deep Cover," playing an improv teacher who goes undercover. The American stars as Kat, who along with her two students Marlon and Hugh, played by Orlando Bloom and Nick Mohammed, respectively, are recruited by a police cop to infiltrate a criminal gang. Never breaking character and sticking to their "yes and..." improv comedy rule, the trio soon find themselves inside London's threatening gangland. "The script was so tight, so fun and of course I related to it, being an actor myself," Howard told Reuters at the film's world premiere at the SXSW London festival on Wednesday. 'There was lots of giggling and lots of laughing," she added about making the movie. Released on Prime Video on June 12, "Deep Cover" sees Bloom, who shot to fame in "The Lord of the Rings" movies, play a committed method actor. "Ted Lasso" actor Mohammed portrays a lonely worker drawn to Kat's classes to gain confidence. "There are quite a lot of scenes ... that were just done in one take ... because you just need to have all of that energy ... pinging around between them (Howard, Bloom) and Mohammed," director Tom Kingsley said. "And they're all playing different characters to what you would normally expect." Asked if he tried to make Howard and Bloom laugh on set given his comedy background, Mohammed said: "I would play around a little bit ... changing some of the lines every so often. But ... they were just up for it." Apple TV+ has announced a fourth season of Emmy-winning comedy series "Ted Lasso," in which Jason Sudeikis played the American coach of upstart British football team AFC Richmond and Mohammed portrayed kitman-turned-coach Nate Shelley. Asked what he could say about season four, in which Lasso will coach a women's football team, Mohammed said: "I only know what's in the press at the moment ... I can't wait to see it. Who knows if Nate's in it ... we will see.' The inaugural SXSW London, the European edition of the annual Austin, Texas, South by Southwest music, technology and film festival, runs June 2-7.

Lorraine Kelly insists ‘I'm not done yet' after ITV slashes her show by 30mins and takes it off air for half the year
LORRAINE Kelly has insisted that she's 'not done yet' after ITV slashed her daytime show by 30 minutes. The legendary breakfast TV host has broken her silence after the commercial broadcaster announced its daytime massacre. 5 5 Lorraine, 65, has been appearing on ITV breakfast screens for over four decades. She joined the original breakfast TV station TV-am in 1994 as its Scotland Correspondent. When the Camden-based company lost its licence, she was one of only a few stars who made the switch to GMTV in 1993. Since then she has been a mainstay fixture on ITV screens in various iterations of the morning format. However, the commercial network has announced sweeping changes to its daytime output. From January, Lorraine will only take to the airwaves for 30 weeks of the year and for only half an hour at a time. Following the announcement, fears rose that the veteran presenter could quit the channel entirely. However, she insisted that she was not quite done yet when she spoke to Tom Kerridge on the Proper Tasty podcast. "I've been doing telly for over 40 years. It's mad isn't it? It's absolutely crazy," Lorraine remarked. "I started in breakfast telly in 1984, and I'm still getting away with it. Extraordinarily. Richard Madeley was facing GMB axe before crunch talks as another HUGE star 'is set to leave ITV' amid cuts bloodbath "40 years in TV last year was incredible. I got a BAFTA. "Here's a BAFTA for being alive." I thought, "Hang on a minute, I'm not done yet".' However, the star did allude that she likes to do different projects away from her She continued: "Not so much in the morning, but if I do a wee show on Channel 4, or The Last Leg, or something like that. You can be unleashed. And I quite like that. "You do have to have a self-edit button, and I'm finding mine is not operating as much as it should. ITV's daytime TV schedule changes in full Good Morning Britain will be extended by 30 minutes to run from 6am to 9.30am daily. Lorraine will run from 9.30am-10am, on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year. During the weeks Lorraine is not on air, Good Morning Britain will run from 6am to 10am. This Morning will remain in its 10am-12.30pm slot on weekdays throughout the year. Loose Women will be in the 12.30-1.30pm slot, again on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year. The changes will take effect from January 2026. Lorraine added: "So, when I'm sitting there and I look at something and I think, "Gosh, what an absolute k**b that person is," or how silly they are, I say it and I don't realise I've said it. So I have to watch." This comes after it was reported that Lorraine had refused an 'insulting offer' from bosses to sign a new contract. A source explained that she declined the opportunity to merge her daytime show with Good Morning Britain, and was 'prepared to walk away.' A new role titled 'Head of Lorraine' has also been created to oversee the daytime changes, but the contract only lasts for 12-months. 5 5
