People are realising the reason Mr Whippy ice creams with flakes are called 99s & it's nothing to do with price
Plus, top ten ice cream flavours, according to Brits FOR GOODNESS FLAKE People are realising the reason Mr Whippy ice creams with flakes are called 99s & it's nothing to do with price MUCH of the UK is currently enjoying glorious weather - which also means cooling down with an ice cream. Many sun-loving Brits will be racing to the nearest Mr Whippy van to get their hands on a frozen treat, whether that's Twister, Fab or rocket ice lollies.

Credit: Alamy However, there's one ice cream more legendary than any other - the classic 99 flake. Inflation means you can no longer pick up a Flake 99 for a mere 99p - leading many sweet fans to wonder where the name actually comes from. Given that 99 cones used to be priced under a quid, many tend to assume that's how they acquired their iconic name. However, contrary to popular opinion, the moniker derives from the flake rather than the ice cream itself.

Reportedly, Cadbury - the brand behind the flakes - opted to choose the numeric name to attract Italian customers. The sweet manufacturer disclosed that they initiated this practice back in 1930. A spokesperson on the Cadbury website explained: "An ice cream served in a cone with a Flake 99 is the UK's favourite ice cream.

UK Basks in Glorious Sunshine: Thousands Flock to Beaches as Heatwave Hits "When Cadbury launched its small Flake for ice creams in 1930, the UK ice cream industry was dominated by expat Italians. ''So, to appeal to Italians we called our superb Flake a '99'." Advertisement An even more arcane fact is that the number 99 is IC in Roman numerals - the initials of "ice cream".

Yellow heat health alerts, issued by the UK Health Security Agency, are in place for most of England – excluding the north-east and north-west – from Monday to Wednesday. The Met Office said: "A combination of high pressure and a southerly airflow will see temperatures rise for much of England and Wales in the first half of the week. Advertisement "Temperatures reaching in excess of 30°C for some on Monday and likely peaking towards the mid-30s in London on Tuesday. In London, temperatures are forecast to reach 29C on Monday, rise to 32C on Tuesday and hit 28C on Wednesday. Highs of 32C are expected on Wednesday while temperatures could reach 31C on Monday. The Met Office says the official heatwave criteria will be met across many areas, with three consecutive days of temperatures above thresholds that range between 25C and 28C depending on location. Advertisement The warm spell marks a sharp turnaround from earlier in the week when Storm Floris brought heavy rain and strong winds to parts of the UK. Forecasters say hot air will be drawn up from the south due to the interaction between high pressure drifting across southern Britain and an area of low pressure. England and Wales will enjoy the best of the sunshine, although a few scattered thunderstorms are possible. Meanwhile, Northern Ireland and Scotland can expect outbreaks of rain at times, especially on Monday.

Cooking with the Stars viewers want to vomit as Ekin-Su and Kelly Hoppen serve up ‘dog poo'
See where the stars went wrong in trying to create the perfect dish dog's dinner Cooking with the Stars viewers want to vomit as Ekin-Su and Kelly Hoppen serve up 'dog poo' TV fans were less than impressed with the celebrities' efforts on Cooking With The Stars comparing some efforts to vomit. The ITV show sees professional chefs mentor eight celebrities so that may create delicious dishes to be judged by the professionals. 4 Love Island's Ekin-Su battles it out on Cooking With The Stars Credit: ITV 4 She faced off against interiors expert Kelly Hoppen Credit: ITV 4 But TV viewers said their cooking made them feel sick Credit: ITV On Sunday's episode, Love Island legend Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu was put up against author and interiors expert Kelly Hoppen when they both landed in the bottom two. The women were tasked with creating chocolate eclairs alongside a strawberry and champagne granita, as their fellow celebrities and professionals watched on. They only had 50 minutes to create their dishes and seemed like disaster from the outset when both stars failed to gradually add the eggs for the choux pastry which would go on to make the body of the chocolate eclairs. Hosts Emma Willis and Tom Allen watched on in bemusement as Ekin added cream to her mixture, and the former explained her experience in the kitchen. itv GMB FEARS Huge GMB star offered just six months in new deal as ITV look to slash costs "I do know something about choux pastry, and the cream does not belong in there," Emma told Tom. Things only got worse for Ekin and Kelly as it became apparent their pastries did not seem up to scratch as they put them in the oven to cook. For viewers watching at home, the scene was equally terrifying. "That was like choosing between dog s*** and cat sick," wrote one fan on X, formerly Twitter as the women's dishes were served to the chefs for judgement. Another added: "Jesus those 'eclairs' are the worst thing I've ever seen." And a third commented: "I don't envy the chefs having to deal with those eclairs...." Jack Osbourne shares bittersweet memory of dad Ozzy in first TV appearance since Black Sabbath legend's death Kelly ultimately won the cook-off after the judges tried both their efforts in blind tasting, which meant Ekin was sent packing. She is the second celebrity to be booted off Cooking With The Stars after former Towie star Jess Wright was eliminated last week. The current season is the show's fifth season and the remaining celebrities in the competition include, Jack Osbourne, the eldest son of late rocker, Ozzy Osbourne and EastEnders alum, Natalie Cassidy. Other stars competing this year include, ex-footballer Shaun Wright-Phillips, actor and comedian Hugh Dennis and presenter Jordan North.

Real-life soap couples Soaps are renowned for their sweet and scandalous romances – but it's not just in scripted storylines where love is blossoming. A number of our favourite small-screen actors have fallen for co-stars and soapland rivals when the cameras have stopped rolling. Max Parker and Kris Mochrie Despite playing brothers Luke and Lee Posner on Emmerdale, the pair never actually shared any scenes together. But the pair still fell in love after meeting on set.

Laura Norton and Mark Jordan Kerry Wyatt and Daz Eden actors Laura and Mark met on the set of Emmerdale in 2014. The couple, who got engaged in 2018, told Loose Women they spent a long time deciding whether they should "just stay as friends." Although it seems they were meant to be and the pair now share two children together. Zoe Henry and Jeff Hordley Emmerdale favourites Zoe and Jeff, who play Rhonda Goskirk and Cain Dingle met at drama college in 1994 and have been together ever since. While working together might be too much for some couples, that's definitely not the case for Zoe and Jeff. Zoe previously told The Sun: "Working on the same show as Jeff also helps because if one of us is having a bad day then the other will completely understand." Lesley Dunlop and Chris Chittell Lesley and Chris are another Dales romantic success story. Unlike some of the other soap stars, the pair who play Brenda Walker and Eric Pollard, are together on and off screen, officially tying the knot in 2016. They also adore working together, but have clear home-work boundaries. "We make a point of not talking about Emmerdale when we're at home, though – that would be just too sad, wouldn't it?" Chris revealed. Sally Carman and Joe Duttine Abi Franklin and Tim Metcalfe actors Sally and Joe got together after meeting on the set of Coronation Street in 2017 and they tied the knot in July 2022. But unlike some of the Emmerdale stars, Sally and Joe prefer that their characters don't interact much. Sally previously admitted it "would be horrendous" to work on a storyline with Joe because "he's too funny." Anthony Cotton and Peter Eccleston Sean Tully may have been unlucky in love on the cobbles, but in real life Antony's met his Prince Charming. The soap star started dating long-term partner Peter in 2005, after they met when he was working as an assistant props buyer on Corrie.

Caroline Harding and Chris Gascoyne Chris, who played pub landlord Peter Barlow, married soap star Caroline in 2002. Although she is best known as an Emmerdale star, Caroline did visit her husband at work when she did a two-episode stint as doctor on the Manchester soap in 2020. The couple share a daughter called Belle, plus two children, Pip and Freddie from Caroline's previous marriage. Nadine Mulkerrin and Rory Douglas Speed Nadine Mulkerrin, and Rory Doulas Speed are known for their Hollyoaks alter egos Cleo McQueen and Joel Dexter.
