Nine viral food trends that are still delicious – and 11 we wish we'd never tasted
'In many ways Dubai chocolate is the perfect storm of what it takes to make a food trend,' says Ebbrell. 'It's indulgent, it's visually beautiful because it's green from the pistachio cream inside, and it has an interesting crunchy texture – similar to filo or baklava – when you bite it.
'I love that you can have something which is traditional in one part of the world, in this case Middle Eastern knafeh – which is pastry usually served on cheese –, showcased in a whole different context. However, it also shows that [going viral has] consequences. Global supplies of pistachio are in trouble because everyone wants them to make Dubai chocolate. That's the power of a food trend.'

Husband handed just £325k of wife's £60MILLION family fortune in bitter divorce battle WINS bid to get more cash
He claims to be the victim of 'gender prejudice' DIVORCE ROW Husband handed just £325k of wife's £60MILLION family fortune in bitter divorce battle WINS bid to get more cash A MAN who was awarded just £325,000 of his wife's £60 million fortune has now won a bitter divorce battle. The divorcee blamed "gender prejudice" for his original 0.5% payout during a hearing at the Court of Appeal. Advertisement 3 Jenny Helliwell, 42, was said to have behaved "fraudulently" Credit: Champion News Service 3 Simon Entwistle, 42, was awarded just £325,000 after a 'painful' divorce battle Credit: Champion News Service Simon Entwistle, 42, a financial trader, was awarded just £325,000 at the High Court after a "painful" divorce battle with multimillionaire heiress Jenny Helliwell, also 42. His claim of needing £36,000 a year for flights, and £26,000 for "a meal plan just for himself", was called "aspirational" by the judge. The judge added: "He said to me, 'I can't even cook an omelette,' well my answer to that is 'learn', it is not difficult." "You do not have to be a master chef to learn how to eat reasonably well." Advertisement Now, a judge has found Jenny guilty of "fraudulent" behaviour by failing to declare £48m of her £66m personal fortune. The pair, who were together from 2016 until 2022, enjoyed an "opulent standard of living throughout their relationship." Simon reportedly "enjoyed the trappings of being married into a family of exceptional wealth". This included living in a £4.5m villa in Dubai, and a Parisian wedding ceremony that cost £500,000 in August 2019. Advertisement The villa had been a gift from Jenny's father - Dubai-based British businessman Neil Helliwell. Simon's own assets were worth around £800,000, including a flat in Salford. Teen Mom star Ryan Edwards begs judge not to force him to expose top-secret MTV contract and NDA in nasty divorce When the couple split in August 2022, Jenny hired lawyers to order Simon to leave their home with just 48 hours' notice. It sparked a legal battle that would see Simon asking for £2.5m of his wife's fortune, estimated to be worth £60m. Advertisement Jenny had offered him £500,000, and then £800,000 to avoid a court battle, but he refused in the hopes of an £2.5m award. However, the original judge awarded just a £400,000 payout following a pre-nuptial agreement that stated the pair would keep their own assets. This came to £325,000 after he was made to pay his wife's legal fees. During an appeal, Simon claimed he was a victim of "gender prejudice", and that the agreement had been invalidated by Jenny failing to disclose around £48m in assets when he signed the document. Advertisement His lawyer said: "Had the positions been reversed, it is very unlikely that he would have... so ungenerously assessed the needs of a wife after a six-year relationship." A judge has ruled that this amounted to "fraudulent" behaviour, invalidating the agreement. While Jenny did disclose around £18m in assets, she failed to disclose an additional £47m. It included around £8m of beachfront land in Dubai, and a £1.6m property in Wimbledon. Advertisement This meant that Simon did not sign the agreement with full knowledge of his partner's wealth. She did not make any findings on the gender prejudice argument. The case will now be returned to the High Court, to be judged as if the agreement didn't exist. Lady Justice King said: "Since the husband in the instant case was deliberately deprived of information which it had been agreed that he should have, in my judgment, the agreement cannot stand."

Lindsay Lohan leaves Kelly Ripa shocked over the real reason she left Hollywood
Lindsay Lohan surprised Kelly Ripa this week when she revealed the true reason she left Hollywood to live in Dubai. The 39-year-old longtime actress cited privacy as the main motive behind her move. 'It's just far away from Hollywood, and I live a very normal life,' the silver screen star confessed while promoting her upcoming movie Freakier Friday on Live with Kelly and Mark on Monday. Lindsay shares two-year-old son Luau with her husband Bader Shammas. She explained, 'There's no worry of, like, I can't go eat at this place 'cause someone's gonna take a picture of my son. And it's just, I feel very safe.' Kelly was stunned to learn how strict Dubai is when it comes to snapping photos in public. 'No, it's not legal,' Lindsay answered when the longtime talk show host asked if there are photographers where she lives. 'You can't even take a picture of someone else if you're at a restaurant. You have to ask the person, which is a big difference from here,' the Parent Trap actress said. 'What? That's incredible!' Kelly gasped in shock before the guest star emphasized, 'Yeah, privacy is key.' Lindsay initially relocated to Dubai in 2014. In November 2021, the Herbie: Fully Loaded actress took to Instagram to announce her engagement to Shammas. She showed off her diamond ring as she posed with her new fiancé, writing in the caption: 'My love. My life. My family. My future.' Lindsay wed her partner in 2022 and revealed the news by referring to him as her 'husband' in an Instagram message that she posted on her 36th birthday. In May the lifelong entertainer told Elle magazine she'd like for her son to have a sibling to play with. 'I feel like we live in a different world now, where women make it such a point, especially in motherhood, to make time for ourselves. 'We make it important. But also, once you have one kid, you're like, "Oh, my kid needs a kid to play with,"' she shared. She also noted, 'I don't know if it's selfish — but I'm like, I need more than one kid to take care of me when I'm older.' This comes after the Lohans came out in full force in support of Freakier Friday. Lindsay was supported by practically her entire family at a special screening of the new film on Monday. Joined by her husband Bader, mom Dina Lohan, 62, and siblings Ali, 31, Michael Jr., 37, and Dakota, 29, Lindsay couldn't have looked happier to have her family by her side on her big night. The Parent Trap actress looked mesmerizing in a fitted white dress with flared tulle skirt and strappy heels. Lindsay, who has been praised for her gorgeous complexion as of late, coated her blemish-free visage with shimmering blush, a nude coat of lip gloss, and a dramatic dusting of eye shadow. Her long blonde hair cascade down in mermaid inspired waves while a delicate necklace injected another punch of glam. Lindsay's mother Dina also looked incredible in a lilac floral print dress with her hair styled in loose waves and a side swept bang. As for sister Ali, she wowed in a silky blue dress and messy bun. Brother Dakota opted for an edgy energy with a black tank top, chain necklace, and grey slacks. Michael Jr. looked dapper in a grey suit, posing beside his wife Nina.
