An American tourist claims he's found 'the best ice cream in the UK' after visiting a seaside town - but it's not from Wales. Nathan Leazer, a musician and content creator, has been documenting his travels on TikTok as @nathanleazermusic.
In a recent blog, he visited Broadstairs, and he loved Morelli's Gelato. The ice cream parlour first opened in Broadstairs in 1932, and Nathan was seriously impressed by the historic parlour, which overlooks Viking Bay.
Nathan told his followers: "You know what I love about England? I'm here in a place called Broadstairs, and I'm about to go have the best ice cream in the UK from a place called Morelli's. It's like an old diner."
He then filmed himself chatting with the staff about the parlour's 93-year history, before showcasing the ice cream sundae he ordered. "Look at that," he praised. "Yeah, buddy."
The review caught attention, gaining over 200,000 views and more than 17,000 likes. It also received lots of comments from ice cream fans who love the parlour, reports the Mirror.
One fan said: "Omg, I did NOT expect to see Morelli's on my fyp today!! My grandparents used to go on dates there together and have taken all of us since then! It's such a special place."

Someone else shared: "I didn't realise Morellis was still open!! my mum and grandparents used to go there." Another viewer wrote: "Morellis is where my parents had their first date 40 years ago. We went there a couple of years ago for the Broadstairs food festival and went in there. They said it hasn't changed a bit, and still has the best ice cream."
The ice cream parlour's website outlines the store's history and how it has retained much of its original charm. It states: "Morelli's in Broadstairs has, under the guidance of the Morelli family become a Mecca for gelato in the UK - set off by it's iconic 1950's flying canopy, Soda Fountain, original Lloyd Loom chairs and pink leatherette parlour seating."
Morelli's Gelato Broadstairs has earned lots of praise on TripAdvisor, where it's ranked as the number one dessert spot in the town. An impressed reviewer said: "We have been a couple of times. It's like jumping back in time.
"Love the decor, service good and the ice cream is great. Had the nine mini cones last time we went, very good. Just had a takeaway tub this time and a seat on the promenade in the late summer sun, PERFECT. Wished we lived nearer but probably better for our health that we don't…."

A second response said: "First went here in the early 70s. Little has changed and that is why it is an amazing experience. Afternoon Knickerbocker Glory and Banana Split were great. Evening hot waffle with ice cream. Yummy. Not the cheapest but you pay for the experience. If you visit Broadstairs, you must go to Morelli's!"
A third visitor wrote: "During our recent family holiday to Broadstairs, we visited Morrellis on many occasions. The ice cream is the best in the world, and the choices available are extensive. We have been coming to Morrellis for years and each visit never disappoints."
Someone added: "We went yesterday to Broadstairs with my family and we tried the gelato in Morelli's. It was the best gelato I've ever tried here in the UK, it reminded me home. Also, I would like to congratulate all the staff for being so professional and having an ace customer service. I highly recommend this place."

Bachelor star Nick Viall reveals wife Natalie Joy has suffered third devastating miscarriage
He sat down on his own and hosted the podcast solo as he revealed the sad news Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BACHELOR star Nick Viall has revealed the heartbreaking news of how his wife Natalie Joy suffered a third devastating miscarriage this year. Nick gained fame through his appearances on The Bachelorette and as The Bachelor himself, with him meeting his wife through Instagram years later. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Nick Viall revealed on The Viall Files podcast this week that his wife suffered a third miscarriage 5 Nick is married to Natalie Joy Credit: Getty 5 The pair began dating in 2020 Credit: Getty Images - Getty 5 They are parents to a daughter, River Rose, who is one year old Credit: Instagram/ Nickviall He married his wife Natalie in April 2024 after four years of dating, with them going on to welcome a child just months before tying the knot. The 44-year-old reality star has now revealed his wife endured her third pregnancy loss this year. He made the heartbreaking revelation in the latest episode of his podcast, The Viall Files. Natalie, 26, who usually sits beside her husband when the podcast is being filmed, was absent from this episode. Opening his podcast, Nick addressed Natalie's unusual absence, saying, "As you can see, Natalie is not with us. "There's no really easy way to talk about this..." He then got candid with his listeners as he revealed the heartbreaking news. Nick opened up and said, "Sadly, Natalie experienced another miscarriage. "It is her third this year, our third this year... "There's no really good way to say it, it f**king sucks." Tensions heat up on Bachelor in Paradise as relationship tests are officially underway Nick continued, "She's obviously at home resting, healing, both physically and emotionally." The couple are parents to their one-year-old daughter River Rose, who was born two months before they got married. Natalie first suffered a miscarriage in January of this year before enduring a second pregnancy loss just two months later. Nick explained to his listeners, "When it happens the first time, the doctors and everyone kind of acknowledge that, while terrible, this is that something that can happen. "And everyone's just... don't freak out, there's nothing wrong, it sadly can be a part of this process." Nick went on, "And then it happened the second time, you know, obviously we have a lot of amazing blessings in our life, first and foremost being River, minus like some morning sickness and things like that, we were very lucky to have a fairly easy pregnancy... "Really no complications, which was such an amazing blessing. "Despite what's going on right now with us, our doctor keeps reminding us that that is the best sign of our future ability to grow our family." He then spoke of how the couple now feel "uneasy". "But right now obviously there's a little bit of uneasiness," he said candidly. "It's far less normal to have two and three back to back. "Now we're kind of in that very scary process of running tests and finding out more about ourselves, and it's like this weird thing of like you want them to find something, but you don't want them to find something. "Because if they find something, you don't know what that means. We're in this kind of very uncharted territory of fact finding. Which sucks," he said. Nick also said, "I really just wanted to be transparent with you guys 'cause I know she wasn't there yesterday, people started to notice, and we're already getting messages with like a lot of concern. "So overall, Natalie is doing OK physically and healing and she's OK in that respect and emotionally, we're currently dealing with that."

Princess Andre shrugs off mum Katie Price and dad Peter's feud as she returns to social media amid slanging match
She is seemingly unfazed by the drama and has shrugged off her parents' public spat UNFAZED Princess Andre shrugs off mum Katie Price and dad Peter's feud as she returns to social media amid slanging match Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PRINCESS Andre has shrugged off her mum and dad's feud by returning to social media hours after Peter's bombshell statement. Princess, 18, is currently caught up in between her mum and dad's public slanging match. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Princess Andre shared an Instagram story and seemingly shrugged off the drama involving her mum and dad Credit: Instagram 4 Princess is enjoying the spotlight after her new reality series aired on ITV this week Credit: ITV 4 Former couple Peter Andre and Katie Price are currently embroiled in a public spat Credit: Getty Katie Price, 47, and Peter Andre, 52, are at loggerheads after their rift exploded on Thursday evening. The former couple were married with two children, Princess and Junior, before their bitter split in 2009. And now, after the shocking revelation of Peter having had Princess and Junior in his care since 2018 now coming to light, the young reality starlet is shaking off the drama. Taking to her Instagram stories amid the public feud between her mum and dad, Princess seemed unfazed as she shared what she was watching with her fans. Princess shared a photo of her television, with what appeared to be the hit Netflix series Ginny and Georgia. Alongside the snap, she penned: "I'm so so so obsessed with this show rn." Princess' post came just mere hours after her dad Peter revealed that she and her brother Junior were placed in his care seven years ago "for their safety". Taking to Instagram, Peter spoke out just hours after Katie said she had made contact with him after their fallout over daughter Princess. In the statement shared on his social media page, Peter penned: "For sixteen years I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones. "But staying silent has been incredibly frustrating. That ends today." Princess Andre takes TWO subtle swipes at mum Katie Price as she reveals what she will NEVER do to follow in her footsteps He continued: "The latest comments about my children's welfare and living arrangements compel me to set the record straight. "For well-documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood. "In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement. "I have never made this public before out of respect for my children." Pete went on: "In 2011 and 2015, publicly documented court cases found my ex wife had made false claims. "She was ordered to pay substantial damages and legal costs, and to apologise, to me and my management. "The same falsehoods are being repeated today." He concluded: "Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations that I have yet to address. Those will be dealt with in the coming months." Pete spoke out after the former glamour model insisted that she's a "bloody good mum" to her five children and wants to sit down with Pete to discuss their issues once and for all. Katie said on her recent podcast: "There's no reason why both parents just can't be there to support her. Now this isn't about me. I have to clarify this. "I don't care that I'm not in Princess's show. "I don't need to raise my profile by being on Princess's show, I do enough stuff. "All what I want to do, is just whatever my daughter does, and it's the same with Junior, I don't care if I'm in the background, but I want to watch her do her photo shoots, I wanna watch her do her signings, because that's what I did. "And my mum and you and Nan used to come along and support, and I'm proud of her. "And I just wanna be there with her because I now I feel that I've missed out on so much." She concluded: "Life would be more at peace because I don't have a problem. "For the sake of the children, there's room for everyone to support your kids. "Do you know what I mean? I'm not saying I have to stand with them and play happy families."
