As festival season approaches, those attending Glastonbury on 25 June know that planning the perfect outfit is as crucial as the lineup itself. In her quest for the ideal ensemble, fashion journalist Lauren Codling discovered some unexpected options at Ann Summers. Lauren commented: "The brand is hitting the mark with its glamorous, dancefloor-ready collection.
"From sequin-adorned bodysuits to faux leather shorts, it's got all the ingredients for a headline act moment - and some items are even discounted." Topping her list of must-haves was the Flashing Lights Sequin Body, now priced at £27.20 (reduced from £34). With its vibrant pink hue and generous sparkle, it seems tailor-made for dancing under the stage lights. "It's bold, playful and a bit cheeky, featuring a deep back and mesh thong rear. Pair it with denim cut-offs, or go all out and wear it alone with a pair of knee-high boots," she suggests.
For the more adventurous festival-goers, the Eternal Rainbow Suit presents another option. Now marked down to £28.80 from £36, this piece swaps solid colour for rainbow lace and mesh, lending it a whimsical feel, reports the Liverpool Echo. It also boasts underwired cups for extra support and adjustable shoulder straps for increased comfort.

"With a statement piece like this, keep the rest of your outfit simple," advised Lauren. "Think black shorts and chunky combat boots to let the bodysuit do all the talking."
Lauren has some top tips for festival enthusiasts still on the hunt for that standout ensemble, shining a spotlight on Jaded London. She shares her own experience: "They're serving up some top fits including cargo trousers and co-ords that scream headline act. I rocked their beige parachute trousers at the Lido Festival in London the other week, and they were a dream combo of comfy and stylish."

She also gives a shout-out to Motel Rocks for those craving a more eye-catching look. "If you crave that bold print action, sheer overlays, and the iconic Y2K party-girl buzz – perfect for frolicking in a muddy field."
Ann Summers is also making waves in festival fashion with an array of snazzy shorts to choose from. The collection offers diamante or a timeless black pick, both priced at £28 each.
Though the brand's festival offerings have only gathered a handful of reviews so far, those who've tried the diamante shorts are full of praise. One satisfied customer raved: "Really pretty. The material is thin, which is perfect for summer. I love the bling detail on the chains."
Another shared her sizing journey: "I recently went from 16 to 14, and I am choosing size medium more often. I went with a size large on this one so that my belly doesn't stick out. They are a bit large, but I love how they make me look as if I have room."

Ann Summers' festival fashion line is receiving high praise, yet some patrons have voiced concerns over delivery hiccups on TrustPilot. A disgruntled customer shared: "I placed an order, which was cancelled a week later. No reason was given; the email stated that if I still wanted the products, I should place a new order."
Despite these delivery grievances, Ann Summers continues to captivate with its festival attire, drawing in fashion enthusiasts such as Lauren. The entire collection is available for perusal here.

Lauren Goodger says surgery has 'ruined her looks' and 'makes her look bigger'

Former TOWIE star Lauren Goodger has said she hates her body and thinks she's 'ruined her looks' after undergoing a number of cosmetic surgery procedures Reality TV legend Lauren Goodger has heartbreakingly admitted she regrets some of her cosmetic surgery and currently hates her appearance. The Only Way Is Essex icon has confessed that she believes her cosmetic procedures have 'ruined her looks' and plans to reverse them. Lauren, 38, first appeared on our TV screens when TOWIE premiered in 2010 and has been in the public eye ever since - with her looks often securitised by cruel trolls. ‌ Last month, the Essex native revealed she's planning to remove her breast implants after 11 years, as she wants to feel like her 'normal self' again and go back to being 'natural'. ‌ Captioning a photo of herself in pink lingerie, Lauren told her Instagram followers: "11 years ago, I had a breast augmentation, one of the things I regret later in life. I had the perfect boobs... they have been great over the years but since being a mum and breastfeeding for one year they have now changed and I've always found they make me look bigger! "Also they are heavy and I don't like the idea of an implant being in me all these years and I miss my old boobs so much .. so after looking around I've found someone that I feel really keen with having my consultation with @marksolomos! This is a HUGE step for me I've wanted to have them removed for so long but suffering with serve anxiety surgery is the last thing I can do!" In a new interview, Lauren, who was once engaged to childhood sweetheart Mark Wright, reflected further on her past surgeries and admitted they've left her feeling that her body appears 'abnormal'. She told The Sun that her 'massive boobs and bum' make her appear larger than she is, and shared her desire to return to her previous appearance. Lauren confessed: "I've ruined my looks with surgery - I hate my fake boobs and bum now. I feel like my body looks abnormal - I don't need these massive boobs and massive bum. When I look at myself naked in the mirror, all I see is lumps and bumps everywhere." ‌ The reality TV star, shares daughter Larose, three, with her ex Charles Drury and late daughter Lorena who died at birth in 2022, has previously also spoken about her 'Brazilian butt lift' (BBL) procedure done in Turkey in 2017. The surgery, which transferred fat from various parts of her body to her buttocks, is now something she wishes she could undo. Speaking to Closer magazine last year, she said: "When I had everything done, I looked the b****ks. My boobs looked amazing, I loved how I looked in pictures and all the attention. But now I wish I'd never had anything. I want it all out." She lamented the physical discomfort and aesthetic issues caused by her enhanced features, stating: "My bum and boobs make me look bigger and cause me pain. I want to reverse it all and go back to natural." Speaking to OK! magazine, the Celebrity Big Brother and Dancing on Ice star revealed that she hasn't had fillers for more than two years, although she opts for Botox thrice annually. Lauren also explained how she abstains from alcohol, cigarettes, vaping, and caffeine, aiming to lead a 'healthier and happier' lifestyle.

Glastonbury bosses tell Sir Rod Stewart to cut short his show as he reveals the staggering cost to perform at the festival

He has penned over 195 songs and sold 120million records worldwide throughout his 60-year career. But Glastonbury Festival have denied Sir Rod Stewart an extra 15 minutes on stage for his coveted Legends slot next Saturday at Worthy Farm, despite him losing £180,000 to play there. The 80-year-old said: 'It's difficult because they only gave me an hour-and-a-quarter slot. 'So I begged them, 'Can I do another 15 minutes? Because usually I play for two hours.' 'It means that there's a lot of songs that people love that I won't be able to play and I've got three guests coming on.' The Maggie May singer, who has not performed at Glastonbury since 2002, confirmed that his Faces co-star and Rolling Stones guitarist, Ronnie Wood, will be making an appearance. Sir Rod currently has a Las Vegas residency and has completed 217 shows, but because Glastonbury organisers asked him to perform, he is missing some shows at a hefty price. He told the Radio Times 'It was about eight months ago when I was asked to do it. Maybe a little longer, but it didn't fit with my schedule because I've got to bring everybody back from America. Factoring in the price of shipping over the equipment and staging, the father-of-seven said: 'It's going to cost me £300,000 to do it and they only pay you about £130,000. 'So, it's going to cost me.' But Sir Rod insisted 'it doesn't matter' and that he was not scrimping for the sake of his team and confirmed his dancers and band would be flying Premium Economy from Vegas to the UK. He added: 'We've got a little orchestra coming on to play with us and we may have some bagpipes. 'I've got the band all decked out in proper outfits. They all wear white jackets and black ties and the girls wear sequins. 'It's a bit more Las Vegas than it's been before because obviously, I'm doing my residency.' The You Wear It Well singer is set to perform next Sunday at the coveted teatime Legends slot but fears are mounting if he will be well enough to perform after he had to cancel or postpone six of his June concerts in the US because he was suffering from flu.

Bradley Walsh taken aback by player's previous TV appearance

The Chase host was left offended by one contestant's remark during the latest edition of the ITV quiz show, which saw Fiona, Becky, Derek and Amitabh take part Bradley Walsh was taken aback by a contestant's comment on The Chase. Fiona, Becky, Derek and Amitabh were the quartet hoping to showcase their trivia prowess on the ITV quiz show. Amitabh, hailing from Delhi, India, was the first to pit his wits against one of Britain's top quizzers, in this instance, Mark Labbett, also known as The Beast. Having relocated to the UK merely five years ago, some queries proved to be quite challenging. ‌ Nonetheless, Amitabh demonstrated his impressive general knowledge, racking up £6,000 in his Cash Builder round. Host Bradley remarked: "For a dude that's only been in the country for five years you played an absolute blinder." ‌ In his head-to-head with The Beast, Amitabh made a promising start but found himself in a difficult one question shoot-out. Regrettably, his stint on the ITV quiz show was cut short when he was caught by The Chaser. He then heard Bradley's feared phrase: "For you, The Chase is over" and he left with nothing. Next up was Becky from Birmingham, who hoped to leave a better impression, reports the Liverpool Echo. She secured £8,000 in the rapid-fire question round and managed to clinch a spot in the final. Derek from Wirral followed in Becky's successful path, earning a place in the final chase and boosting the shared prize pot to £14,000. Bradley was left dumbstruck when contestant Fiona from Oldham confessed she'd been on BBC One's Pointless before facing The Beast on The Chase. The ITV host lost for words after Fiona's revelation, quipped with a tongue-in-cheek jab: "I shouldn't have mentioned Pointless." ‌ Bradley playfully ribbed: "So we're your second choice basically." Fiona quickly reassured him: "Never Brad, I've obviously been dying to get on the show." Fiona didn't clinch victory on Pointless and joined forces with Becky and Derek, hoping for better fortunes on The Chase. ‌ Bradley couldn't resist a slight tease, stating: "Not in a million years are you going to win now." He then threw an impossible question her way: "Here's your first question, what's my mum Margaret's third middle name?" ‌ After jabbing her with the mock question, Bradley lamented: "Pointless! Are you kidding me?" Returning to the game, Fiona impressively made it through to the final chase, contributing £20,000 to the prize fund. Despite an admirable effort with 19 steps ahead of The Beast, the Chaser caught Fiona, Becky, and Derek with just three seconds spare. Following their narrow defeat, Bradley couldn't resist another jibe: "Well, there's always Pointless." The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
