Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Lys was quick to defend her trad wife lifestyle Credit: tiktok/@farmmamalys 2 But many said it reminded them of The Handmaid's Tale Credit: Alamy In one clip that went viral with over 8 million views, Lys revealed she even wears a collar to show her commitment to following her husband. She said: "I respect my man's lead. He provides, he protects, he puts our best interests first. I could ask that man for anything and he would go to the ends of the earth just to get it for me, and if he can't, he's gonna make it. "My day collar is a daily sign of submission. For us, it is a deeper level of connection than a wedding ring. "I fully rely on my man to protect us mentally, physically, spiritually. I fully trust him to the point where I am actively submitting to him. "I'm not gonna constantly be this wrecking ball when he walks through the house. I'm going to be a safe, comforting place where he can go." The video caused such a storm online that Lys followed up the video to defend herself and shared how she supports her husband. Lys added: "Yes, I am a trad wife. I don't lay on the ground so my husband can use me as a rug to wipe his boots on, but I'll take his boots off. "I'll make sure that he has a peaceful and quiet place to come home to. I'll make sure he's not met at the door with chaos and destruction. "I'll make sure that as a man, he feels heard. I respect his decisions. I respect his lead. I respect his thoughts." Lys refers to herself as the 'suitable helper' to her husband and goes on to say that being submissive doesn't mean she has no voice. Meet the Queen of the Trad Wives - she shuns work & lets her man decide everything "Embracing being a suitable helper doesn't mean my voice is less," she continues. "It doesn't mean that I'm silenced and oppressed. It means I'm embracing it. I am embracing being a suitable helper." The video also went viral on her TikTok account @farmmamalys with over 265k views. People were quick to share their thoughts in the comments, and many women were quick to say the lifestyle Lys leads wasn't for them. One person wrote: "What in the Handmaids Tale?" Another commented: "If you wanna take off someone's boots like a toddler have fun." What is a trad wife? A trad wife (short for traditional wife) is a woman who chooses to take on an ultra traditional role in marriage, meaning she makes dinner and looks pretty whilst her husband goes to work. The trend takes inspiration from the idea of a 1950s housewife. Many 'trad wives' choose to dress in the style of clothing popular in this period (think floral dresses and frumpy cardigans). Additionally, the values considered important to trad wives are similar to strict Christian values. Trad wives believed they were not forced into this way of life, and that it was their purpose to be homemakers. The trend, which has garnered attention on social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram, glamorises a time gone by with little acknowledgement of the economic challenges facing families and mothers today. "You do you, but I could never," penned a third. Meanwhile a fourth said: "So your life is his. Not yours. You're an extension of his life." "Girl, want more for yourself,' claimed a fifth. Someone else added: "What's the opposite of a 'suitable helper' I'm that."

Sir David Attenborough made suggestion that changed Wimbledon tennis forever
Sir David Attenborough made suggestion that changed Wimbledon tennis forever One woman has shared the story of how Sir David Attenborough, best known for his fantastic nature documentaries, actually changed the way that tennis was played forever David Attenborough loves Wimbledon - but did you know he played a part in it? (Image: Karwai Tang, WireImagevia Getty Images ) Wimbledon is well underway – and for those not fortunate enough to be there in person, sipping Champagne and savouring strawberries and cream, you've likely caught some of the action on your TV. But have you ever pondered why tennis balls sport that peculiar fluorescent green-yellow hue? A TikTok user named Alice (@alicefevronia) thought it was high time to re-share this intriguing fact that many are unaware of. She posed the question to her followers: "Did you know that we have the legendary David Attenborough to thank for fluorescent tennis balls?" This left many people confused as they had no idea he had anything to do with the tennis world. In fact, most recognise Sir David Attenborough, 99, as the esteemed broadcaster and natural historian. His mesmerising documentaries have brought the marvels of nature into our living rooms for years. However, it appears he also had a hand in determining the colour of today's tennis balls. Content cannot be displayed without consent Alice explained: "Until the 1970s, tennis balls were black or white, but he suggested that a fluorescent tennis ball would be much more visible to the cameras, especially as colour TVs were becoming more popular. Article continues below "So the International Tennis Federation conducted extensive research to find a colour visible on both colour and black and white TVs. "They settled on this greenish yellow, known as optic yellow. And around 55,000 of them will be used during the Wimbledon tournament". While the ITF introduced yellow balls in 1972, Wimbledon didn't adopt the change until 1986. People are calling for other sectors to take note of Sir David Attenborough's advice too. In the comments section, one person vented their frustration: "Shame no one listens to David Attenborough's message about climate change: the collapse of civilisation is on the horizon". Sir David has been instrumental in drawing attention to and encouraging measures against climate change through his influential roles as a broadcaster, natural historian, and staunch environmentalist. Article continues below His voice has resonated in significant global arenas, including the UK Parliament. Notably, he addressed leaders at the United Nations Climate Change Conferences (COP24 in 2018 and COP26 in 2021), advocating for more robust action to combat climate change. Tennis balls aside, he's also cherished for his advocacy for our planet's future.

Aldi's brutal M&S takedown as it 'launches' strawberry sandwich equivalent
M&S's viral strawberry sandwich has had a second spin in the spotlight thanks to budget supermarket Aldi, which has mock-launched a random alternative When M&S think they are one step ahead - Aldi always has a secret marketing ploy up their sleeves. In the latest supermarket wars, Aldi has taken a brutal, but humorous, swipe at M&S for the viral strawberry sandwich in the best way possible. Aldi is known for it's tongue-in-cheek social media jibes, particularly directed at Marks and Spencer's after the Colin and Cuthbert caterpillar cake wars. Now they have jumped on the sandwich bandwagon after M&S made headlines when it announced an unusual strawberry sandwich - sending social media into a frenzy. Shoppers were divided over the unusual fruit filling, complete with cream, wedged between two slices of thick sweetened bread. So Aldi did what Aldi does best and mocked up their own 'viral' sandwich, and it's a dupe of M&S's luxury offering. The Aldi version is made up of carrots and creme on a soft sweetened bread. To add a further punch to M&S, Aldi's caption was mocking the famous M&S strapline, as the Facebook post said: "This is not just any sando... this is a Carrot and Creme Sando. 500K likes and we'll make it happen." M&S are known for calling their sandwiches 'sando's' when they launched their Chicken Katsu Sando last year, and by joining in on the viral trend, shoppers have loved Aldi's ploy at taking a swipe at M&S. One fan commented on the post: "Can always count on Aldi to have a sense of humour," to which Aldi replied: "Love a good bit of tomfoolery." While another eager Aldi fan chimed: "I've been waiting for aldi response on this," and a third penned: "Guaranteed to make you see in the dark!" As Aldi replied: "100% night vision or your money back." Meanwhile a fourth said: "Easy now, wouldn't want any beef in that sandwich," to which Aldi boldly responded: "Oh, we've always got beef!" It comes after Aldi changed it's name at one of their Manchester stores ahead of the Oasis reunion gig. It has paid tribute by having changed the name of its Bury New Road store in Prestwich. The store, which is just a few miles from Heaton Park, has been renamed 'Aldeh'. The retailer has said that the temporary rebrand embraces the Mancunian pronunciation of its name. It described the decision to rename the store as being in homage to the Gallagher brothers and Manchester's musical heritage. Aldi has revealed that the sign will be on display at the store throughout Oasis' much-awaited comeback stint in the city. It's teased that fans of the band have already queued outside the store to take photos of the new tribute.
