Primark's £20 bag divides opinion over what is meant to go inside
Primark is offering a "sturdy and stylish" bag that's not meant for your phone, keys or purse to go inside. Instead, you should put your pets in for a hands-free adventure outside the house, or when walking could be dangerous for them.
The Pet Carrier Bag costs £20 and is black and quilted. Primark confirmed on its website that the carrier also comes with an extra pouch that is the perfect size for pet treats and another handy compartment to keep any pet-friendly essentials safe.
The description reads: " Allow your furry friends to travel in style with our chic pet carrier bag. The quilted finish keeps it sleek and the bag is designed for your friend to be able to sit in it, pop its head out and enjoy the views with you.
"It has sturdy carry handles for comfortable carrying and a handy front zip pocket for treats. Plus, there's a cute little round pouch clipped on for extra storage and a removable base you can wash when needed."
The £20 bag is described as being "perfect for keeping your pet comfy and secure" on outdoor adventures. It's also an ideal alternative to carry cases or crates.
It was recently shown off in an Instagram video where Primark claimed the item was "fashion meets fur baby" - but shoppers were divided. One said: "Just ordered mine online for collection Friday, my lazy [girl] is going to love this!"
Another added: "Just in time for my kitten!" A third wrote: "Fantastic, been looking for something like this for a while now!"
But, others were not so convinced at first glance. Someone else said: "It's a shame these kinds of straps are not comfortable". And, a fourth added: "Is it strong enough though? [My dog] is only 5kg and some of these bags are poorly made and I end up carrying underneath anyway."
The label on Primark's own video showed that the maximum weight went up to 10kg (22 lbs), making this ideal for those with smaller dogs and most cats. The website also mentions that this polyester bag measures about 50cm long and about 18cm wide, which is something pet owners may want to consider before buying.
Shoppers can order a bag like this on the Primark website, with in-store collection possible at certain locations. The site does offer a handy feature for Primark fans to check which branches should have items available before heading out to the shops.
Simply enter a postcode into the Stock Checker tool to find your nearest shop. Some offer a click-and-collect service, while others only offer in-store shopping.

Carly went on to say she and David "took several measures" in terms of contraception to ensure they stayed "at an even dozen kiddos". And while "it worked for almost three years", it was when her hormones went "whacky" around two years ago that she made the decision to try and balance them naturally. "Well, it never dawned on me that balancing my hormones not only effected how I felt, but also my fertility!" she added. She insisted another baby is the "best kind of blessing" but also added she's still in shock, as she concluded: "This wasn't my plan for 2026, or any other year!" Carly is due in February 2026. The pair were inundated with messages of congratulations from friends and family, with one writing: "YOU GUYS!! Congratulations!! "Oh my goodness I'm thrilled for you!"

A baker's dozen!! Congrats!!" another laughed.

Molly-Mae raves about her current go-to Adidas trainers that are ‘so comfy'
Molly-Mae swears by her current favourite Adidas trainers, calling them 'so comfy', and fans are rushing to get their hands on a pair before they sell out Molly-Mae has firmly established herself as a modern style icon, not only through her time as Creative Director at PrettyLittleThing but also with the recent launch of her own fashion label, Maebe. So it's no wonder that whenever she shares an outfit on Instagram, it quickly sells out, a phenomenon now dubbed the ' Molly-Mae effect'. She recently shared with her followers her current go-to pair of trainers, and luckily for us, they're still in stock in all sizes (although we're sure this won't last for much longer). The trainers Molly has raved about being "so comfy" are the adidas Originals Gazelle Lo Pro trainers in black and white, priced at £90. Adidas trainers have been trending over the past few years, mostly the popular Gazelles, Sambas, and Spezials. And we love that this new style of Gazelle takes on an A/W 2025 update with the flatter gumsole. This coming season is really all about flat, sporty-looking, retro trainers, and with the recent Oasis revival, it's no surprise to see that adidas are still leading the trends. Molly mentioned she struggled with finding a pair of black trainers that slot into her wardrobe, but has luckily found a winning pair with the Gazelle Lo Pro trainers. Crafted with a mix of synthetic leather and suede, these trainers feature the signature T-toe support and an ultra-low sole with a Gum 3 rubber tread for a sturdy grip. Finished with the iconic 3-Stripes, they're a timeless style that have been reimagined a modern look. What we love about Molly's style is how she mixes in more affordable, high street buys in with designer, and her most recent sunglasses caught our attention. The sunglasses, named the Outta Love sunglasses, hail from the cool-girl French eyewear brand Le Specs. Priced at £55, they are pretty wallet-friendly compared to Molly's previously worn £300 to £400 YSL and Gucci specs. Another favourite sunglass brand of Molly-Mae's is Vehla, who also have a similar alternative to the sold-out Saint Laurent pair. The Dixie Sunglasses are on the pricier side at £170, but are a go-to brand for so many celebrities thanks to their quality, fit and unique styles.

Gemma Collins admits wedding plans are on hold again as she makes blunt admission
EXCLUSIVE: The Only Way Is Essex legend Gemma Collins has spilled on her wedding plans to fiancé Rami Hawash but confessed things aren't on a strict schedule as she revealed Jedward's special role Gemma Collins certainly believes she can outdo Amazon boss Jeff Bezos' lavish ceremony, dubbed the celebrity wedding of the decade, and has chosen a very unique theme for her big day. However, the TOWIE icon bluntly admitted she hasn't laid down any plans despite her four-year engagement. "After Jeff Bezos' wedding, I've sure as hell got to try and top that one, haven't I?" she exclusively told us. The reality TV star, 44, is in the midst of wedding planning, but admitted things aren't fully going to plan. So much so, Gemma confessed she is even considering leaving it all to the last minute as she can't nail down exactly what she wants. It comes after Vogue Williams quits drinking after blacking out drunk at lavish showbiz wedding. Her excitement at walking down the aisle hasn't dwindled, however, as she marks four years since her second engagement to fiancé Rami Hawash, whom she met in 2011. Speaking of her plans so far, Gemma said: "It's going really well, but if I'm honest, I haven't actually done anything about it yet because I've had just the craziest of times recently. It's been nonstop. But I'm sure Jedward are gonna get up and sing. "I've not decided where it's gonna be. I am very last-minute, so I'll probably decide two weeks before." While she hasn't set a date, Gemma says next year will be when she finally says her 'I dos'. "Absolutely it will be 2026. I spoke to my astrologer and that is the year to get married," she said. Revealing more about her big day, including her very unique theme, the reality TV star admitted: 'I'd like it very mythical, actually. I'd like fairies. I'm obsessed with Maleficent, you know the movie? So I'd like a woodland setting. Very boho but magical." However, Gemma has a lot of work to do as she added: "I haven't pulled my finger out and done one bloody single thing. So I'm literally at the very, very beginning. All I know is I want it mythical with mythical creatures." Despite not having a guest list sorted, Gemma knows she'll have her best pals, Jedward, on hand to celebrate with her and has even been given a special role. "They will be singing," she revealed. "They'll definitely have a major role in the big day. They could be mythical creatures. I love them to death, the boys." Gemma recently teased her Instagram followers that she could recreate her viral Dancing On Ice fall, by getting married on ice."I've always been an oversharer. I love to spill the coffee. Everyone loved it," she said. However, it turned out Gemma was simply having fun and seeing how much her fans would believe as she took on the task of oversharing for Sky. She said: "It's gonna be so much fun when people finally realise that I'm not getting married on ice."
