Snoop Dogg says he hopes to open burger van at Celtic Park

Snoop Dogg has already published a cookbook and claims to have spoken to chef Gordon Ramsay about a possible venture in Glasgow together – but he has now revealed he wants to set up a fast-food van at Celtic's stadium in the city's east end. He has described Celtic supporters as 'special' and the best fans in European football, and said he identifies strongly with the club's mascot Hoopy the Hound – describing it in a previous interview as a 'match made in heaven'. The keen sports fan worked as a correspondent for NBC at the Paris Olympics last year, has launched two youth football leagues, and has been a vocal advocate for pay equality for female athletes. Snoop Dogg made several appearances at the Paris Olympics last year (John Walton/PA) He told the Sunday Mail that Celtic fans would support the burger van and that it would become a foodie 'Paradise' – the nickname give to Celtic Park. He said: 'I would love to bring a pop-up burger (van) to a sports stadium to show fans that food at stadiums can be good. 'It's got to be Celtic Park, man. The secret to a good burger is the love in the preparation. The ground beef has got to be mixed with some secret spices, then add a good quality cheese and some maple-cured bacon. 'The Celtic fans are gonna love it, and to make sure they are just right, Snoop is going to be serving them himself.' But he said he would not be taking his culinary ventures to Celtic's Old Firm rivals at Ibrox. Snoop told the Sunday Mail: 'Am I going to bring my burgers to Rangers as well? Nah, I think we will give that a miss.'

Snoop Dogg says he hopes to open burger van at Celtic Park

Snoop Dogg has told of his hopes to open a burger van at Celtic Park – and to serve fans himself. The West Coast rapper has previously spoken of investing in the Glasgow football club, similar to Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds's involvement with Wrexham FC.

ITV The 1% Club fans left 'crazy' by question that they say makes 'no sense'

Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info The 1% Club, an ITV gameshow hosted by Lee Mack, has left viewers scratching their heads over a particularly challenging question. Since its debut in 2022, the show has been a massive hit, bagging two National Television Awards. The game involves 100 contestants answering questions that have already been answered by the general public. Each participant starts with a £1,000 stake. Lee poses 15 questions of increasing difficulty, starting with one that 90% of the population answered correctly and ending with one that only 1% got right. Contestants have 30 seconds to lock in their answers and can progress to the next round if they answer correctly or pass after the 50% question, reports Bristol Live. Those who reach the final question could win up to £100,000 or share the prize pot, while those playing along at home can simply enjoy the challenge. However, one question shared on social media has left fans stumped. Posted on a Facebook page, it asked: What is the next letter in this sequence? SENTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT. This question, from a May 2022 episode, was the final one of the quiz show, meaning only 1% of the general population answered it correctly. (Image: ITV) (Image: ITV) (Image: ITV) While some managed to solve it, others confessed their confusion. "Wouldn't get it in 30 days never mind 30 secs," one viewer commented. "It's easy when you know but tricky otherwise," another added. "How to feel dumb on a Thursday morning," someone else penned. A doubter remarked: "All the people answering acting like they worked it out, 100% goggled it or watched live. "That makes no sense," was the comment from another, while someone admitted feeling "lost" and sought clarification. "Can someone explain that this is more than just a few buzzwords? It's doing my head in," one person requested. However, amidst the confusion, an individual with the correct answer elucidated: "S-seventeen, E-eighteen, N-nineteen, T-twenty, Each other T represents the numbers between Twenty and Thirty Nine. Next letter is F for Forty." Another added their humorous take: "You're overworking that brain, if I was to be given my entire life to think of that I wouldn't figure it out,". A skeptic responded to a person who got it right by asserting: "They watched it on TV, maybe even Googled the answer, no one on the show got it, I was bamboozled and I have an IQ of 139."
