An artist has pledged to make and serve 400 crisp butties in one afternoon as part of his latest exhibition in his home city.Pete Mckee said he would serve up his childhood favourite for free at Weston Park Museum in Sheffield from midday on Saturday on a first-come, first-served basis.The performance art event follows the launch of his year-long exhibition The Boy with the Leg Named Brian, which pays tribute to his 1970s childhood.Mr McKee said: "This event is my playful take on the world of performance art that can sometimes leave unfamiliar audiences feeling baffled and undernourished."
Mr McKee, who is known for his colourful depictions of everyday life in South Yorkshire, said he would offer up 10 different flavours of crisp butty, including his own favourite of salt and vinegar.On his website, the event has been described as a "celebration of a humble northern dish, well-deserving of icon status, performed by an equally northern artist". He added: "For this one-off event, 400 visitors will be given one of my handmade butties to eat. "I hope you will join me in celebrating one of my favourite dishes as a child, and share in the positive experience of communal eating."

Watch the awkward moment Love Island hunk completely forgets villa beauty's name and confuses her with All Stars girl
THERE was seriously cringe moment in the first Unseen Bits episode of the series. One of the stunning new villa girls was confused with a famous Love Island star from the most recent All Stars series. 6 6 6 6 In tonight's episode of Unseen Bits, now-axed Blu referred to Helena as Harriett a few times. Seemingly getting Helena Ford confused with Harriett Blackmore from Love Island: All Stars, Blu got muddled up and kept referring to Helena as Harriett. In a conversation with Ben and Tommy, Blu repeatedly said "Harriett" when talking about Helena. Even in the beach hut doing in a confessional, Blu kept referring to Helena as Harriett. In the clip where he was chatting to the boys, Blu asked what "blondie's name" was again. Ben and Tommy were then forced to correct him. Blu was dumped from the villa in Friday night's episode after on Thursday, he and Shea were left single and vulnerable when they were failed to get chosen by the girls to be in couples. Between both of the lads, they were tasked with deciding who should stay and who should go. But both lads were determined to stay and refused to back down. Blu confidently said: "I ain't f****** leaving." And Shea echoed: "I ain't either." The Sun then revealed that the pair got into a war of words, with this seen in Friday night's episode before the Islanders were tasked with deciding on who would be dumped from the Island. Ultimately, Blu was dumped from the Island, despite him not agreeing with the outcome. Taking a final jab at Shea after his exit, Blu didn't hold back as he made a veiled dig. Love Island 2025 full lineup Harry Cooksley: A 30-year-old footballer with charm to spare. Sophie Lee: A model and motivational speaker who has overcome adversity after suffering life-changing burns in an accident. Shakira Khan: A 22-year-old Manchester-based model, ready to turn heads. Blu Chegini: A boxer with striking model looks, seeking love in the villa. Megan Moore: A payroll specialist from Southampton, looking for someone tall and stylish.

He was released with no further action taken and denies any wrongdoing. "We asked them [the Islanders] for their point of view as we were both really stubborn in that situation. "We weren't going to budge, so we had to get them to make the decision," he explained in his exit interview. Then, taking a subtle swipe at Shea, Blu said: "I felt like I had a stronger bond with everyone in there, obviously I'd been there a bit longer. "I was constantly trying to make a connection and exploring everyone. "I was making moves as quickly as I could, as opposed to Shea who was a bit more laid back," he slammed. Blu went on: "Everyone had their own thoughts. "But listen, someone's got to go at the end of the day. "The way it went was better than I thought it would have gone; I had some nice things said about me and that meant a lot to me." 6

TALK OF THE TOWN: William and Harry agree on one thing - Diana's ex-butler Paul Burrell needs to keep quiet
It's rare that Princes William and Harry see eye-to-eye about anything these days – but the estranged brothers may find common ground in their fury that their mother's ex-butler, Paul Burrell, is about to betray her confidence yet again. The former Palace servant is set to release a third 'intimate' memoir, promising to reveal stories he felt he couldn't share while the late Queen was still alive. But it risks evoking the ire of the Princes, as I'm told Burrell had promised he would stop exploiting his links to the late Princess Diana in a tense meeting with the brothers. Sources tell me all three held a secret summit at Kensington Palace in November 2017 to tackle the issue. 'It was awkward,' one insider said. 'William led the meeting and did all the talking, but Harry was silently seething that Burrell had betrayed their mother for financial gain time and time again. 'Eventually Paul agreed it was time to stop, and he hoped it would be a new chapter in his relationship with the boys.' Yet the man Diana once called her 'rock' seems to have reneged on that deal, with a new book The Royal Insider –with a picture of himself and Diana on the cover – due out in September. The Princes are now bracing themselves for what he might reveal as he vows to 'speak candidly about the tensions that simmered' during his time at the Palace – 'including the breakdown of Charles and Diana's marriage and his own complex relationship with Princes William and Harry'. Publishers Sphere add: 'It is only in the wake of the Queen's passing... Burrell feels he can finally tell his story in full.' Socialites head to Lola's Bute camp Lady Lola Bute last week hosted her London It Girl pals at her palatial home on Ibiza, including Romeo Beckham's recent ex Kim Turnbull and model Lila Moss. I hear Lady Lola, 25, has also been a consultant on a new TV show, Magnolia Parks, described as a London version of US hit Gossip Girl and based on a book about a 'beautiful, affluent, neurotic and self-involved' socialite. Wonder which of her inner circle she used for inspiration? Will Gibbs fall for his nibs? I suspect Perry Pearson won't be nursing a broken heart for too long after his split from Game Of Thrones actress Sophie Turner. I hear friends of the heir to the Cowdray estate in Sussex are trying to play Cupid and set him up with socialite and horse racing presenter Flora Gibbs. So has Perry asked her out on a date yet? 'No comment,' Flora tells me with a knowing smile while partying at the Boodles Boxing Ball last weekend. Watch this space… Brooklyn's ex gets cosy with polo ace Does Hana Cross, the ex-girlfriend of Brooklyn Beckham, have her sights set on another well-connected man? I hear the glamorous model was seen looking cosy and chatting animatedly last week with Polo England captain Tommy Severn at Polo in the Park in Fulham. Hana has become a bit of an amateur polo player herself, saddling up at the illustrious Guards Polo club in Windsor Great Park last month. Severn, who used to play polo with Prince Harry and formerly dated footballer Michael Owen's daughter Gemma, recently told me how he thought his royal pal's heavily lambasted Netflix documentary Polo was 'very weird'. I wonder if he's ever invited Hana for a chukka? Jackie goes posh Even Cruz Beckham admits he can sometimes get his Brazilian girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 30, and his mother Victoria confused due to their uncanny resemblance. So I wonder what the 20-year-old aspiring musician will make of Jackie sporting a fresh dark bob strikingly reminiscent of Posh's hairstyle from her 1990s Spice Girls heyday. Surely a case of when Two Become One! Superstar DJ Calvin Harris's plans to build a padel court at his £6 million Cotswolds property have been held up by (no pun intended) bats. The palatial pile is home to so many of the protected mammals that Harris must build an outbuilding to house them before any work on the court can begin. His ambitious plans for the house also include a reflection pool, hot yoga studio, sunken firepit, teepee and campfire.

EXCLUSIVE What, no waistcoats? After Gareth, the Southgates' get a new (and even more glamorous!) fashion influencer
Her father made waves on the internet with his pitch-side fashion choices – remember that waistcoat? Now Sir Gareth Southgate 's daughter is following in his footsteps as a hotshot fashion influencer. While he is a private man with no social media accounts, Mia Southgate is the opposite. The 24-year-old shows off her outfits to 25,000 followers and offers glimpses of the family's historic Swinsty Hall mansion in Timble, north Yorkshire. She has collaborated with brands such as Next, Caudalie, a skincare firm, and Citizens of Humanity, a jeans brand, and earns money through affiliate links from clothes and items she has worn – though how much is a mystery. Mia has also recruited her mother, Alison Southgate, 57, for help promote content. They feature in multiple videos, where the mother-daughter duo show off their outfits for different events and swap items from each other's wardrobes – Mia having her own wardrobe room. One video caption reads: 'Getting dressed with my bestie.' Miss Southgate was recruited in April by the agency Blush Talent Management, an arm of digital fashion blog Sheer Luxe. She has written blog posts about 'what a cool content creator has on her wish-list' and starred in videos for 600,000 Sheer Luxe followers. Mia also works for upmarket high-street brand Mint Velvet as a senior social media assistant where she and Lady Southgate regularly feature on its social media pages. Another recent deal was with luxury car maker Bentley, where she told followers she had been lent the car in return for a social media post. Her father is conspicuously absent from her media posts despite having a proven track record of boosting brands. His appearances in a fitted waistcoat at the 2018 World Cup caused a 35 per cent rise in sales of them at M&S.
