Home Bargains shoppers rush to store to pick up 15p chocolate bars that are a perfect dupe for popular snack
HOME bargains are living up to their name with a dupe of an elegant Polish chocolate bar, which is 92% cheaper than the original.
The delectable chocolate straws, stuffed full of hazelnut cream, are being snagged for literal pennies, 15 to be exact, at Home Bargains.
The original Tago rolls cost £1.99, and one user commented that buying a similar product in a Cyprus airport can cost a whopping seven euros.
Chocoholics show no sign of slowing down after Easter as they rave about the "creamy hazelnut" filling, which "puts the Nutella into the crispy treat."
One raved: 'They taste beautiful, they're dangerous, I can't stop eating them.'
Another agreed, exclaiming: 'Oh my go, they are delicious, these will not last long, hazelnut is my kryptonite."
One TikTok food reviewer, whose discerning taste buds command the respect of nearly 70k followers, proclaimed: 'These are absolutely delicious and an absolute bargain!
'That creamy filling is to die for.
"I literally drove back to the store, 15 minutes away, to grab more before they went."
Creamy, creamy, creamy- the word was repeated by almost every reviewer.
Tariq Wright pointed out that you can bulk buy, as they have a shelf life of nine months, although it is doubtful that many will last that long.
But many users had already had to restock up, so good luck making them last that long.
Carly wrote: 'Had to get me another box of the hazelnut wafer rolls, coated in a chocolate filling.'
Choccy lovers' funky uses of the crunchy treats range from popping them into ice cream, milkshake, and even smashing them up into cheesecake bases.

'I got Turkey teeth that will last 10 years – cruel trolls say I've ruined my life'
'I got Turkey teeth that will last 10 years – cruel trolls say I've ruined my life' Lottie Carr, 24, flew more than 2,600 miles to Turkey to undergo a teeth transformation but after sharing her journey online she was told she's 'ruined her life' A woman has spoken about her experience of travelling 2,600 miles for a dental transformation despite knowing the results would last just a decade. Lottie Carr, 24, had her heart set on a gleaming new smile to address chips, cracks, discolouration and alignment problems. Despite being thrilled with her new teeth Lottie's online reveal has led to an unexpected onslaught of criticism. Her TikTok went viral, amassing more than 28.9m views and 1.6m likes. Stay informed on the latest health news by signing up to . Speaking to NeedToKnow Lottie, from north Wales, expressed her shock at the reaction. "I knew the video of myself with shaved-down teeth would likely invoke some kind of response as it was so outrageous but I did not expect the video to have international reach and receive the amount of negativity that it did. "I was told to kill myself, that I've ruined my life, that I am still ugly after the procedure, and that I'm a bad influence to young and impressionable viewers. "I don't think a lot of people share the 'during' phase of this procedure online so [people] don't actually see what is done to create the 'perfect Hollywood smile'. Article continues below Lottie flew more than 2,600 miles for the treatment despite being aware that her new teeth would only last 10 years (Image: Jam Press/@lottie_victoria ) "I didn't really have any major concerns with my teeth until very recently." Revealing her motivation Lottie said: "I had chips, cracks, staining, and alignment issues and just wanted the perfect smile." The cost comparison between countries was stark. While UK practices quoted Lottie £9,900 for crown veneers her final bill in Turkey was around £4,000. In 2023 the Turkish Dental Association estimated that 250,000 people travel to Turkey each year for dental treatment Lottie detailed the procedure, saying: "I had 10 crowns on the top and 10 crowns on the bottom. "There was also a possibility that I was going to need three root canals but they managed to avoid this on the day luckily. "My teeth were all shaved down and reshaped to enable the crowns to slot over the top to ensure they seal properly. Despite being overjoyed with the results, after sharing her journey online, Lottie has said she has been receiving a barrage of abuse (Image: Jam Press/@lottie_victoria ) "It was uncomfortable but not painful in the slightest as I was injected with anaesthetic. I did not feel any sensitivity and it was virtually a pain-free process. "I was at the dentist for four days in a row but only a few hours each day. "I do get a lot of anxiety that I'm going to lose one, or stain one, or that I'm going to suffer with sudden pain etc – but it has only been a few weeks since the procedure so it is something I need to get used to. "I am so happy with the results. In person I have had 100% positive reactions." Lottie, who describes herself as a "very spontaneous person", made the decision to have her teeth done just a few months earlier. Despite being aware that she may need to have the procedure done again after a decade she also considered it not to be an issue. She said: "I started looking at some TikToks of the procedure before I flew out and seeing other people's teeth shaved down started to make me feel nervous – I'd not seen it before. "[But] I think life is short and we should be able to do whatever we want with our own bodies providing it is safe. Lottie had the treatment in Turkey (Image: Jam Press/@lottie_victoria ) "I made sure that the clinic I chose uses high-quality materials and that the dentist is properly trained, licensed, and experienced. "I am aware of the longevity of porcelain crowns and am aware I will need to go back in 10 years time – but I live in the now and I'd rather have a big beautiful smile now rather than live my whole life with my teeth in the condition they were in. "To achieve the look I wanted this was my option." But Lottie felt "overwhelmed" by the response her video had garnered. She is now choosing to concentrate on the positive feedback and ignore the trolls. Lottie's teeth during the treatment (Image: Jam Press/@lottie_victoria ) She continued: "To have that many people see you in the most vulnerable state you've ever been in, and to have them all comment on it, it's really not for the faint-hearted. "But now that I have seen the results and am so happy with my teeth I am able to brush off the comments. "It has definitely made me a lot more aware of the risks and dangers with this type of procedure abroad though." Lottie was quoted £9,900 for her crown veneers in the UK (Image: Jam Press/@lottie_victoria ) On the NHS website it is recommended that those seeking treatment abroad should follow a checklist. "All types of medical treatment involve some element of risk," it reads. Article continues below "It's important to get as much information as possible about your treatment options so that you can make informed choices." The NHS encourages people to think about their reasons for going abroad and to know the warning signs, get a second opinion, do research, consider the possible side effects and complications, and more which you can find out more here.

Katie Price sparks concern with thinner-than-ever frame as she parties in tiny bikini in Ibiza with Conor McGregor
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) KATIE Price's tiny figure was on full display as she cuddled up with Conor McGregor during a wild party in Ibiza. The 47-year-old star – who has just amplified her bum with a round of filler – nearly slipped out of her tiny bikini as she danced among the crowd with the boxer. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Katie Price displayed her tiny frame in a red bikini Credit: Instagram / Conor McGregor 5 Katie was seen chatting with Conor at the party - with the boxer later sharing the pics Credit: Instagram / Conor McGregor 5 Katie's arm looked thinner than ever against her enhanced bust Credit: rymi1/Instagram Showing off a deep bronze tan and slender frame, Katie beamed next to McGregor as she posed with fans and the boxer. With a tiny red and white bikini barely keeping her famously enhanced boobs covered, Katie delighted in the revelry on the day out. McGregor later shared one of the pictures, captioning it "Katie Price Forever". Katie posted about the event on her Instagram before arriving, saying that she was joining her son and "her besties" at Ocean Beach. Since arriving in the Spanish party town, she has joined a string of celebrity pals including Wayne Lineker, Jamie O'Hara and Dean Gaffney. Fans have grown concerned for the star in recent weeks during her increasingly slender frame. Katie has repeatedly shut down speculation she had started using weight loss jabs – and hit back at critics of her weight loss. Speaking on her Snapchat in May, Katie said: "Yes I've lost weight. "Yes that what I've wanted to do, I've wanted to lose weight. "Because the past three, four years ago when I broke my feet and I was in a wheelchair for 10 months because they said I'd never walk again, and obviously you put weight on being in a wheelchair. Katie Price reveals her 'most painful' surgery EVER - just days before getting more filler in her bum "And then I did all the IVF stuff, that also puts on weight. "So yeah I did put on weight and I hated it, I felt uncomfortable and it wasn't me." She then explained how, after finishing her failed IVF treatment, she became more active with healthy eating. "Everyone is talking about it - it's driving me mad," she said. "I'm healthy and I do eat. "If you look at old old pictures of me in the Jordan days, I was always skinny." The mum-of-five underwent a £1,500 bum filler procedure in May which she livestreamed on TikTok from the operating table. She told the camera: 'You can grow old gracefully, but I don't want to grow old gracefully. "If there's procedures out there to be done, I will take advantage of them. And at least I'm being honest.' Just weeks later, she shared that she had gone for more, further enlarging her rear. Plasters from the treatment were still present and bleeding on her bum by the time she arrived in Ibiza, with Katie showing off the bandages by the poolside. 5 Katie said she was joining her son and her besties at Ocean Club Credit: katie-pricey/Snapchat/Backgrid

Inside Michael Barrymore's BIZARRE new life 24 years after tragic pool death that ended his career
WITH a glittering TV career that saw him branded 'Mr Saturday Night', Michael Barrymore ruled the airwaves in the 80s and 90s until a tragic death in the swimming pool of his mansion ended his career overnight. Since that devastating loss and the furore that followed, the former king of light entertainment has spent much of the last 24 years in the showbiz wilderness - but now the broadcasting legend has a bizarre new career making him an estimated £250,000 a year. 12 12 Aged 76, Michael is enjoying an unlikely second act online, after the entertainment industry shunned his attempts to get his telly career back off the ground. He is now a well-loved TikTokker and YouTube vlogger with millions of fans liking his witty, quirky and often self-deprecating clips. With videos ranging from 'What I Eat in a Day' diaries, to unpacking shopping hauls and reviewing faddy Gen-Z phenomenons like Lububu dolls, his content is more the kind of thing you'd expect to see on the likes of Molly Mae's channel than a septuagenarian former telly presenter. A friend of Michael's reveals: 'Michael is having a great time. He lives to entertain people, and while he may not be getting the TV offers he once did, this way he gets to create his own content on his own terms. 'What started as a bit of a hobby online has now become a way of connecting with his fans again, flexing his funny bone and getting back to doing what he loves without the pressure and scrutiny that comes with being on the nation's TV screens every week.' TELLY LEGEND TO TIKTOK SENSATION Yet while some may scoff at this unusual new career direction, fans old and new seem to be lapping it up - with both Gen Z's and millennials logging on to see his joyfully mundane life. At the last count, he'd amassed a whopping 3.6million followers and a gargantuan 197.7million likes on TikTok, creating some serious competition for influencers who weren't even born when he was one of the highest-paid men on the box. PR expert Lynn Carratt has estimated he could be making more than £250,000 a year, thanks to his clips and collaboration with Sports Direct that could have made him £1,500 alone. One of his most popular videos sees the funnyman dropping various items on his head, from a baking tray to a board game and a towel. While hundreds in the comment section have been left baffled - "Can you explain plz, I don't get it" is one commonplace response - it hasn't stopped the clip racking up 54.1million views. But the once-cancelled star has proved he is down with the Gen Z kids - using a range of their phrases in this videos - "photo dump", "gwrm" and "aura" are just some of the ones he's come out with. Even Sabrina Carpenter is a fan - she reposted one of his videos, which led to him exclaiming: 'Gang I just woke up to find that Sabrina Carpenter knows I exist. I am fangirling so hard right now!!' Inside Michael Barrymore's bizarre new life as a tiktok influencer 24 years after pool tragedy Wholesome content with his whippet puppy, who he adopted last October, also amasses clicks in the millions. Meanwhile, over on YouTube, his subscriber numbers might be lower at 51,200, but that doesn't stop him serving his loyal fanbase with fresh videos most days - and in the last month alone, he has posted 19 vlogs. A recent 17-minute-long vlog entitled "WTF is a Labubu?" is packed with content, kicking off with him unboxing the toy that has spawned fans from David Beckham to Dua Lipa. 'They're pretty cool, it's a great accessory, innit?' Mike grins as films himself in his bedroom, his pup Lara chilling on the bed in the background before coming to say hello to the camera. 12 12 From there, he dashes off to walk his furry friend, picking flowers for a floral collage along the way before making a pitstop at fast food chain Jollibee, where he tucks into a bucket of chicken and a burger as his phone camera captures all the action. It may be a far cry from the days when his hit vehicles Strike It Lucky and My Kind of People topped the telly ratings, or when he cracked jokes for the Queen while hosting the Royal Variety Performance, but insiders say the troubled broadcaster is happier than he's been for years with his new niche. For Michael, this newly found happiness and tapping back into his creative, comedic side, has been a long time coming as for years, he had very little to laugh about. DEATH AT THE MANSION While in the late nineties he weathered his share of upheavals - he battled alcoholism, came out as gay in 1995 and ended his marriage to wife Cheryl the following year - his world came to a stop on 31 March 2001. In the early hours of that morning, a man named Stuart Lubbock was found dead, floating in the pool of Barrymore's £2million Essex mansion following a party at the pad. A post-mortem found he had suffered severe internal injuries that suggested he was sexually assaulted. Michael had invited the factory supervisor back to his home for a private party along with a group of guests after meeting him at the Millennium Nightclub. The TV star has always denied involvement in the death, and while he was questioned at the time and then later arrested in 2007 along with two others, all were released without charge. To this day, Stuart's death remains unsolved, despite an inquest and Stuart's brother lobbying for a second. A LIFE IN TATTERS Michael, meanwhile, saw his big money contracts with ITV cancelled in the wake of the incident, and in the years that followed he fled the UK for a quiet life 12,000 miles away in New Zealand with then-boyfriend Shaun Davies. In 2006, he returned to the UK and attempted to revive his career with a stint on Celebrity Big Brother. He was branded a "narcissistic bully" after a feud with fellow housemate, glamour girl Jodie Marsh, but managed to finished second. 12 12 The reality show failed to reignite his once-illustrious broadcasting career, however, and several subsequent projects failed to get off the ground. In the fallow period that followed, Michael found himself resorting to hosting gigs on local and hospital radio, while a role in Scrooge: The Musical failed to transfer to the West End. A planned comeback when he was cast on Dancing On Ice in 2019 was also derailed when he was forced to pull out due to injury. TV BREAKDOWN A rare TV appearance came that same year when Michael appeared as a guest on Piers Morgan's Life Stories, where he admitted he was living as a recluse and had attempted to take his own life following Lubbock's death. Breaking down in tears, he insisted he was completely innocent but revealed his remorse over what happened. 'I could not be more sad. I could not be more sorry that this event took place,' he sobbed. 'It was at my house and they don't have all the answers to how he got these injuries. I could not be more sad or sorry if I have to be for the rest of my life.' 12 Since then, Michael has only appeared on screens once, in a 2023 interview on This Morning to promote a play he was co-directing. But now, two years after that brief guest spot and almost quarter of a century since the devastating night that ended his career, Michael seems to have found a glimmer of his old self again in his new era as an internet star. Affectionately referring to his followers as his 'besties', it seems his cyber fanbase have given him a reason to smile again - and judging from the gushing responses they leave in his comments section, he is doing the same for them too. 'So pleased you're doing so well….,' one such devotee commented on his most recent upload, 'Really miss you when you don't vlog. You brighten my day so much.'
