KFC and Greggs tease collaboration as fast food fans go into meltdown
Whether it's a sausage roll, a quarter pounder, or a cheeky chicken wrap, Brits love fast food from time to time. As long as we eat such treats in moderation, there is nothing wrong with indulging in some convenience food.
And now, British fast food fans are salivating over the possibility of an unexpected collaboration that could soon arrive on high streets nationwide.
The excitement follows bakery giant Greggs teasing a potential partnership with KFC on social media. Across both Instagram and TikTok, Greggs posted a short clip showing one of its legendary sausage rolls being held against a KFC outlet's signage.
Set to The Sundays' hit Summertime with the lyrics: "It's you and me in the summertime," the post was captioned: "Oddly satisfying. Is this a sign?"
The post sparked wild speculation amongst eager food enthusiasts about what a possible tie-up between the two brands might involve.
Responding on Instagram, one user wondered: "KFC inspired Chicken bake? Instead of creamy sauce in the current chicken bake it'll be KFC gravy? A KFC and gravy style bake? I'm invested," reports the Mirror.
Another person speculated: "Or... 'Chicken Bake Royale' - a buttery Greggs pastry filled with KFC's crispy chicken pieces, creamy gravy, and sweetcorn – finished with a flaky top crust. Like a chicken bake on steroids."
A third pleaded: "Arghhhhh stop teasing! What is it? Zinger roll? Tell me now."
Meanwhile, a fourth Instagram user proposed: "Sausage roll covered in KFC batter and fried to perfection and served with a KFC gravy based chippy curry sauce."
And a fifth person proclaimed: "Okay, dipping a Greggs sausage roll in KFC's gravy (I realise while typing this it sounds a bit NSFW)... game changer."
While both companies have yet to officially confirm any partnership, KFC replied to Greggs' "oddly satisfying" comment by simply saying: "I agree."
Throwing more petrol on the flames, Greggs then responded: "Fancy seeing you here."
This marks only Greggs' second major high street tie-up, following their 2022 collaboration with fashion retailer Primark to launch a clothing collection dubbed 'Tasty'.

The exclusive range - marking a first in Greggs' 83-year trading history - landed in 60 Primark outlets nationwide during February of that year.
At the time, Tim Kelly, Director of New Business Development at Primark, said: "We want to give our customers incredible experiences in our stores and offer collections they can't find anywhere else, with brands we know they love.
"We're thrilled to have teamed up with Greggs to bring the Tasty Café to our Birmingham store and give fans of the brand the chance to get their hands on the limited-edition clothing range."

Bianca Censori flaunts dramatic cleavage in racy selfie after her old modeling photos resurfaced
Kanye West 's wife Bianca Censori tantalized her nearly 500,000 Instagram followers on Tuesday as she shared a sexy new snapshot. The 30-year-old Australian architect modeled a plunging metallic silver bodysuit in a sultry mirror selfie. Bianca, who wed Kanye, 48, in 2022, teamed the figure-hugging one-piece with white hosiery. She put on a very busty display in the look while wearing her jet black hair in a loose, straight style with bangs hanging over her eyes. The beauty — whose old modeling photos just resurfaced — wore a full face of matte makeup in the image. Bianca's latest Instagram grid posts were shared in mid July and showed her in white lingerie. She sported a shoulder-length blonde wig in the fuzzy Polaroid outtakes, snapped by her husband. A dozen photos featuring the stunner in different racy outfits were all accompanied by the same caption: 'Japan, October 2024 shot by @ye.' She is stepmom to Kanye and his ex-wife Kim Kardashian's four kids: North, 12, Saint, nine, Chicago, seven, and Psalm, six. In February 2024 a source told Daily Mail that Kim asked for Bianca, who has become known for her risqué fashion, to 'cover up' when she is around the children. 'Kim instructed Kanye to never let Bianca dress like that around their kids,' the insider stated. 'She is truly surprised that Kanye would let his wife leave the house like that.' 'Kanye did the same thing he is doing with Bianca to Kim throughout their marriage. The difference is that when Kanye dressed Kim, he was respected as a person – as an artist,' it was added. 'Unfortunately, Kim knows what Bianca is going through — but she feels Bianca should have known what she was getting into,' the source continued. Kim and Kanye tied the knot in 2014 and their divorce was finalized in 2022. Since Kanye married Bianca fans have expressed concern over her wellbeing, as she's continuously seen parading around in various states of undress. Earlier this year Bianca stepped onto 2025 Grammy Awards red carpet clad in a furry black coat before theatrically dropping the outerwear and flashing her assets in a completely sheer, nude-toned mini dress. She spun around to show all angles of her figure as she skipped undergarments, baring her chest and backside while Kanye stood by in satisfied approval. It was claimed in June that the Chicago-bred rapper chooses her daring looks to aid in keeping his 'edgy persona,' and to show that his wife is 'the sexiest woman alive,' according to a source who spoke with The U.S. Sun.

Aldi launches temporary Specialbuy tattoos like air fryers
In light of the new tattoo range, research commissioned by Aldi has revealed a generational shift in attitudes to tattoos, with younger generations rejecting the traditional view that tattoos must be permanent commitments. The study of 2,000 Brits found two-fifths (43%) of Gen Z people believe tattoos are part of an "evolving canvas" that can be updated and refreshed over time, compared to just 14% of "Baby Boomers" who still see them as lifelong commitments. Aldi has launched a collection of temporary tattoos (Image: Aldi) The tattoo generational divide extends even further to tattoo regret. 72% of Brits aged 55 and over said they would be put off getting a tattoo in case they regret the decision. However, a quarter (25%) of Gen Z people aren't worried at all, claiming they can always get it covered or removed in the future. In fact, 61% of Gen Z wouldn't think twice about getting a tattoo, with 30% saying they would happily get one tomorrow. Of the Brits surveyed, 45% would even consider getting a tattoo related to a brand or product they genuinely love, as over half (57%) of Gen Z and Millennials admit they see tattoos as a fashion accessory rather than a permanent commitment. As Brits' fear of tattoo regret was revealed, the survey also found that over half of the nation (58%) have considered using temporary tattoos as an alternative to the more permanent version. Aldi launches unusual temporary tattoo collection to honour Specialbuy sellouts The research comes as Aldi reveals its unusual tattoo collection, celebrating the popularity of the supermarket's ever-changing Specialbuy range, with products like the viral Pilates machine which almost completely sold out across the nation in just 24 hours. The temporary tattoos also feature one of Aldi's viral Air Fryer Specialbuys as the supermarket sold a total of over 90,000 air fryers last year alone, with new drops often selling out in less than a day. The Kamado BBQ is another product to be honoured in temporary tattoo form. After the BBQ initially launched in 2018, it quickly became a firm favourite with the Specialbuy selling out in just a few days. UK supermarket rankings 2025 The full temporary tattoo collection features designs inspired by: Pilates Machine Hanging Egg Chair Kamado BBQ Kayak Air Fryer Garden Tool Shed Lawn Mower Paddling Pool Aldimania Sliders Stand Mixer From everyday essentials that become instant sell-outs, to bizarre seasonal items that spark social media frenzies, each tattoo design represents a product that has achieved famous status among Aldi shoppers.

Halsey is SLAMMED for uncomfortably raunchy post in bed with fiance that fans say should be 'illegal'
Halsey was criticized for sharing an exhibitionist snap of her shirtless fiancé Avan Jogia embracing her bare legs while they were in bed Tuesday. The 30-year-old pop star - who boasts 70.7M social media followers - captioned her Instagram slideshow: 'There's babygirl everywhere for those with the eyes to see.' The 33-year-old former Nickelodeon star replied in the comments section: 'Air is unbreathable without you in it.' 'Babygirl' was likely a reference to the time the betrothed couple donned fetish wear to attend the December 11th premiere of Nicole Kidman 's erotic BDSM thriller of the same name in West Hollywood, CA. Halsey (born Ashley Frangipane) was slammed for the PDA post by Instagram users like @collectsunrays, who commented: 'First slide should be illegal.' 'I shouldn't have had to see that,' Instagram user @_old_accountttt blasted. 'At least give a warning.' Instagram user @ posted crying laughing and fire emojis and wrote: 'What's the first pic, Halsey?' 'Mind you I just opened this app,' Instagram user @crowded_mind commented. And Instagram user @enis_no scolded: 'Halsey that's not appropriate! There are kids on Instagram.' The three-time Grammy nominee and Avan - who originally met in Barcelona - announced they were engaged September 12 after a year-long whirlwind romance, and she 'just knew I wanted to marry him.' 'I never wanted to be married - never,' Halsey scoffed on the October 30th episode of Call Her Daddy. 'I can't even explain why [I want to marry Jogia] you know what I mean? Because I do I love him in such a way that I feel like we would be just as fine if we didn't, but something about that makes me want to do it more.' The groom and bride-to-be both happen to be biracial - Avan is half Indian and Halsey is half black. The Ego songstress also included a puzzle snap of her son Ender Ridley Aydin from her five-year relationship with babydaddy Alev Aydin, which ended in 2023. When little Ender turned four on July 14, Halsey gushed that he was 'the best thing I've ever been a part of.' 'Everyday I am left speechless and awe-struck by how kind, insightful, gentle, funny, creative, curious and cool he is,' the About-Face Beauty founder captioned her Instagram slideshow. 'I shouldn't have had to see that,' Instagram user @_old_accountttt blasted. 'At least give a warning' 'Mind you I just opened this app,' Instagram user @crowded_mind commented And Instagram user @enis_no scolded: 'Halsey that's not appropriate! There are kids on Instagram' 'His favorite painter is Van Gogh. He loves A Tribe Called Quest and The Cranberries. He collects tiny treasures and stores them in jars. He is the first person to notice if a friend gets hurt. He remembers names and favorite colors, and his is yellow because he is joy. He is absolute magic.' Halsey previously romanced Evan Peters, Yungblud, G-Eazy, Machine Gun Kelly, Lido, and Matty Healy. Meanwhile, the Autopsy of an Ex-Teen Heartthrob poet previously dated his Zombieland co-star Zoey Deutch between 2012-2017 and his Now Apocalypse co-star Cleopatra Coleman between 2017-2021. The New Jersey native will next portray Mandy Starr in Tony Tost's long-delayed crime thriller Americana, which hits US theaters August 15 and UK theaters August 22. That's technically two years after Americana's world premiere at South by Southwest and three years after production wrapped in New Mexico. Lionsgate's modern-day western - formerly known as National Anthem - also stars Sydney Sweeney, Paul Walter Hauser, Eric Dane, and Simon Rex. Halsey then concludes her $3.5M-grossing, 31-date For My Last Trick: The Tour at Turkey's Yenikapi Festival Park in Istanbul on August 28, which will be filmed. The I Never Loved You belter will also reunite with her MaXXXine director Ti West for Amazon MGM Studios series Bloodlust that she's creating, writing, and producing. 'I started the pilot a few years ago and Amazon wanted it and they took it and now we're getting it on the road,' Halsey told THR on Sunday. 'There's not so much that I can say but it's really cool to be a part of a project that I don't face. It's quite relieving. [I'm] just behind the scenes, just the puppet master. I don't have to do my make-up.' As for Avan, his upcoming acting projects include Amazon MGM Studios' eight-episode erotic thriller 56 Days and A24's sci-fi horror The Backrooms directed by Kane Parsons.
