ITV Good Morning Britain presenters 'concerned' after 'worrying' breaking news
Good Morning Britain presenters Adil Ray and Kate Garraway were left 'not surprised' amid a breaking news update Good Morning Britain hosts Adil Ray and Kate Garraway were left alarmed following a breaking news bulletin. During Tuesday's show on August 19, the presenters read off the latest daily headlines. It emerged that findings from a two-and-a-half year probe into water quality had been released regarding Lake Windermere, dubbed "one of the country's most scenic locations". The findings revealed "deeply troubling contamination in England's biggest and most renowned lake", it was reported. Correspondent Juliet Dunlop was on site broadcasting live from the location. "Some breaking news to bring you in the past few moments," presenter Sean Fletcher announced from the studio. "The results of a two-and-a-half year examination of water quality at one of the country's most picturesque spots have been revealed. "Testing of Windermere has revealed really concerning pollution in England's largest and most famous lake." Juliet detailed as reported in the Mirror: "This is an extensive survey that involved hundreds of volunteers who collected more than a thousand samples of water from right across Lake Windermere, some parts that had never been tested before. "They found levels of harmful bacteria including that fail water quality standards. They are particularly concerned about the pollution levels during summer months when Windermere is at its busiest and hot spots right along the shoreline. "Campaigners say decisive action is needed if Windermere is to improve and be protected for future generations." As the camera panned back to the studio, Sean responded: "That's really concerning in such a picturesque and beautiful, and really used, space. "It really is," Adil concurred, while Kate remarked: "It's so popular." Adil continued: "You can almost bear with how pollution might enter our rivers, but the lakes? They're not usually inhabited places, not a lot of people there necessarily." Expressing his lack of surprise at the news, he added: "That's really worrying." Kate chimed in: "It's those treasures we're destroying before our eyes." It comes as Adil made a return to Good Morning Britain on Monday, which split many viewers who tuned in. One person wrote: "I'll pass on that thanks," as another added: "Nobody will get a word in with these two presenters. Switches over." A third viewer expressed: "No thanks," while another similarly shared: "Worst pairing ever. You can do better than this." However some viewers were delighted with his appearance. One person quipped: "Yes! Love Adil! But to be honest all the @GMB presenters are really good." Another added: "I like this pairing on GMB. At heart, both exceptional interviewers," while a third said: "What a great pair today."

The 10/10 supermarket Calippo dupe that beats the big brand – and it costs just 29p
Check how to cut your supermarket costs ICE ICE BABY The 10/10 supermarket Calippo dupe that beats the big brand – and it costs just 29p Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) NOTHING beats the humble ice lolly to cool you down on a hot summer's day. One of the best options for kids is the Calippo, a refreshing lolly in a push up tube that is relatively low in sugar compared to other treats. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 7 Lynsey Hope tested Calippo dupes for the hot weather Credit: Oliver Dixon But a box of five will now set you back £2.90 - 50p more than just two years' ago - so it might be time to find a cheaper alternative. Lots of supermarkets now sell own brand, budget-friendly versions. But do they taste as good? Lynsey Hope finds out... Calippo Mini £2.90 (5 x 80ml lollies) Per orange lolly: 83 calories, 14g sugar 7 The classic brand comes full of fruity flavour - but it has a hefty price tag Credit: Oliver Dixon These are advertised mini but they are almost full size and full of fruity flavour. Super refreshing on a hot day and the kids devour these whenever I buy a box. The only downside is the price. They work out at 58p a lolly, which feels steep. Taste: 5/5 Value: 3/5 Overall score: 8/10 Lidl Bon Gelati Orange Flavour Push Up Lollies £2.29 (6 x 110ml) Per orange lolly: 83 calories, 19.4g sugar 7 Lidl is selling Calippo dupes for 38p per lolly Credit: Oliver Dixon It's hard to tell much difference between these at Lidl and the orange Calippos. They are bigger and sweeter and they do contain more sugar, but taste wise they are almost identical. I preferred the variety of favours you get in the branded box. But if you like orange, you get six here and they work out at 38p each - that's 20p cheaper per lolly. Taste: 4/5 Value: 3/5 Overall score: 7/10 Calippo Cola £2.90 (5 x 80ml lollies) Per cola lolly: 72 calories, 14g sugar 7 Calippo's cola flavour is perfect for cola fans, but again, the box is expensive Credit: Oliver Dixon If you like the taste of cola, these are spot on. The flavour is strong and it lasts all the way to the end whereas some cheaper ones did turn to ice and mush. Again expensive, costing nearly £3 for a box and they are smaller than most own brands. Shame they are not better value. Taste: 5/5 Value: 3/5 Overall score: 8/10 Rowntrees Fruit Push Ups £1.75 (4 x 90ml lollies) Per strawberry lolly: 63 calories, 12g sugar 7 The Rowntree's lollies contain real fruit juice Credit: Oliver Dixon The strawberry lolly was a little weak and flavourless. These also contain glucose syrup and fructose, which gives them an artificially sweet flavour. On the plus side they do contain real fruit juice and no artificial flavours, colours or preservatives. Taste: 3/5 Value: 3/5 Overall score: 6/10 Gianni's Ice Coolers Push Up Lollies £1.79 (6 x 80ml lollies) Per orange lolly: 65 calories, 15.2g sugar 7 Aldi's dupe was crowned the winner Credit: Oliver Dixon Great value at Aldi, working out around 29p each. The box is over a £1 cheaper than the branded Calippo's and you get an extra one for your money. They're a good size and there's a good mix of flavours with cola, lemon and lime and orange in the pack. But these definitely took the price for best taste too. Full of fruity flavour and refreshing. Taste: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Overall score: 10/10 Lidl Bon Gelati Cola Flavour Push Up Lollies £2.29 (6 x 110ml) Per cola lolly: 83 calories, 19.3g sugar 7 This cola dupe wasn't as flavourful as the branded Calippo lollies Credit: Oliver Dixon The cola flavour wasn't as strong as the branded Calippo lollies from Walls, but it was pleasant enough. The flavour was lost a bit at the bottom of the tube. It was mainly dull tasting ice. Worth noting however that these are a third bigger in size and working out at 38p each, they are 20p cheaper per lolly which is a significant saving. Taste: 3/5 Value: 4/5 Overall score: 7/10

Gordon Ramsay's delicious midweek chicken curry recipe only takes minutes to make
Gordon Ramsay has shared his delicious homemade chicken curry recipe which takes just 10 minutes to make - and it's perfect for a midweek dinner when you're pushed for time Choosing what to prepare for dinner during the summer months can prove challenging as nobody fancies spending hours cooking in sweltering conditions, yet relying on takeaways isn't particularly healthy. Nevertheless, Gordon Ramsay 's homemade chicken curry offers the ideal solution as it's not only tasty but requires a maximum of 10 minutes to prepare. In his cookbook 'Ramsay in 10', Gordon explained: "This is how we do a midweek curry in a hurry at home, especially when the kids are here, there and everywhere. "It's one of the easiest and quickest curries you will ever make, especially if you grate rather than dice the squash and onion, and cut the chicken into small cubes." In other cooking stories, a writer claimed: 'I tried butter from Tesco, Aldi, Lidl and big brands - and the winner is not Lurpak'. This recipe proves perfect when you're craving comfort food that remains loaded with vegetables and is remarkably simple to create as all you require is a frying pan, reports the Express. How to make Gordon Ramsay's chicken curry Ingredients Two chicken breasts 1/2 butternut squash One chili One large onion 250ml of canned tomatoes 250ml of coconut milk 50g of frozen peas 30g of fresh spinach 2.5cm of ginger Two 1/2 tsp of garam masala Two tbsp of chicken or vegetable stock Salt and pepper Vegetable oil (for cooking) Method Start by placing a frying pan on the hob over medium-high heat and allow it to warm up. Whilst the pan heats, grate the butternut squash and once hot, add a splash of oil along with the grated squash. As the squash cooks, peel and grate the onion before adding it to the pan, cooking for one to two minutes whilst stirring frequently. During this time, chop the chilli and grate the ginger, adding both to the pan and cooking for another one to two minutes. Chop the chicken breasts and season with a bit of salt and pepper. Create a space in the centre of the pan and toss in the diced chicken. Let it sizzle for a minute or two, then throw in the peas and cook for another minute. Next, pour in the tinned tomatoes, coconut milk and chicken stock into the pan, bringing the mixture to a boil. Allow the curry to bubble away for about four to five minutes until the chicken is thoroughly cooked. Finally, mix in the spinach and let it wilt completely. Take the pan off the heat and your delicious curry is ready to be served with rice or roti flatbreads.
