Next's 'beautiful' £32 dress is perfect 'for exploring Spanish cafes'
Shoppers at Next are lavishing praise on a "beautiful" summer dress that's flying off the online shelves. The high-street giant, known for its trendy attire and accessories, appears to have introduced a new crowd-pleaser.
Retailing at £32, the Khaki Green Woven Jersey Mix Sleeveless Racer Ribbed Midi Dress is catching eyes not just in green but also in black, red, or stone options. The dress comes in a range of sizes - though some are selling out fast - and in regular or petite length.
Accompanying the dress is Next's description, which reads: "With a racer shape, this khaki green midi-length dress features a ribbed cotton-blend bodice with stitched detailing, alongside a smooth pure cotton skirting with side pockets. Easy to dress up or down."
The sought-after dress has secured a four-star rating overall, thanks to glowing testimonials from numerous satisfied buyers. One shopper reported: "Fits perfectly, love the shape it gives me."
Another pleased customer commented: "Very comfortable and true to size," reports the Mirror. Meanwhile, a third buyer remarked: "This is a beautiful dress so easy to wear can dress up or wear as casual it looks great."

An elated fourth purchaser explained: "Bought for an upcoming holiday as I love the colour. I love Next's cotton summer dresses as ideal to wear in sunny climes! Ribbed top and a flared cotton skirt...and it has side seam pockets always a bonus! I'm just hoping it doesn't crease too much."
One shopper raved about the dress, saying: "Great colour and fit. Perfect length and looks great on. I loved it so much I bought one in red. Lovely summer dress for exploring Spanish cafe's and markets in June!"
Yet, not all feedback was glowing. A customer remarked: "I didn't buy it as although it was a lovely dress the neckline was to high and was a bit big."
Another shopper expressed disappointment: "I purchased the green version of the dress and it looked great on the model online but not so great on me! The skirt part of the dress is lovely, the vest top part not so great. I think the dress ideally suits a smaller frame - I'm a size 14 - it's not flattering at all."
For those looking elsewhere, there's the Pink Broderie Midi Dress for £69 at River Island. New Look has the Red Gingham Bow Back Midi Dress for £33.99, while Very stocks the Vero Moda Woven Ankle Drop Hem Dress for £44.

Clarkson's Farm's Kaleb Cooper rushed to hospital as star suffers 'painful' injury
Kaleb Cooper, known for being Jeremy Clarkson's farmhand on Diddly Squat Farm, has ended up in A&E this week after suffering a painful injury Kaleb Cooper has revealed he has suffered a 'painful' injury that sent him to A&E as he shared an update for his fans online earlier this week. The Clarkson's Farm star, 26, took to Instagram on Wednesday (June 11) to share that he had to go to the hospital for a scan after hurting his foot while playing a game of football on Tuesday evening. Kaleb shared that he was in significant pain as he posted a video of his swollen ankle while hobbling around his farm, before going to the hospital for an X-ray the following morning, the Mirror reports. He later updated his Instagram story to reassure fans that he still planned to attend the Three Counties Show over the weekend. He said:"I may be hobbling around as I've fractured my ankle, but I'll still be at the 3 Counties Show on the Sunday." "I'll be doing talks throughout the day, and Hawkestone Cider will be there. So, do pop along and say hello. I'll be there - don't you worry! I'm looking forward to it," he continued. The update comes just days after the fourth season of Clarkson's Farm premiered on Prime Video. A fifth season is already in development, though Jeremy Clarkson has hinted that the popular programme may take a break afterwards. Speaking to The Sunday Times, the former Top Gear presenter stated: "Whatever happens we'll definitely take a short break as the crews are all worn out. We've been filming here two or three days a week, every week, for five years. Everybody could do with a rest." Clarkson's farm has been a major success since its debut in 2021, with Kaleb quickly rising to fame as one of the show's stand out figures. His popularity has since led to a UK speaking tour and the release of his own book. While Kaleb was away on his live speaking tour, Jeremy received help from a new farmhand, the glamorous Harriet Cowan. However, Clarkson was quick to shut down claims that Kaleb had been "replaced" on Clarkson's Farm. The 65-year-old presenter continued: "What happened is this, he went away on his speaking tour, for a couple of months because he imagined that after four years, I'd be able to manage on my own." "I didn't – I made a complete mess of everything and had to bring in a young girl called Harriet. Harriet is brilliant and looked after the fort until he got back. That is it – that's the story!," he confirmed. Since moving to Chipping Norton in the Cotswolds, Jeremy has kept fans gripped with the ups and downs he's faced trying to run a farm for profit - which is all documented in his hit series. He's supported by Kaleb, who often proves to be far more knowledgeable about farming than his car-obsessed boss.

Country pub brand praised as 'dog friendly' offers savings on dining
For dog lovers, pets are more than just companions, they're part of the family. That's why Vintage Inns proudly welcomes four-legged friends at all of its dog-friendly locations as part of its country pub experience. With 170 pubs across the UK, each location offers a relaxed retreat from busy lives. Modern country interiors make them cosy and comfortable, perfect for spending quality time together. From the Scottish Highlands to the Devon coast, from the Welsh capital to the Norfolk shores, Vintage Inns offer an authentic taste of British countryside hospitality. Whether visitors are stopping in for a quick pint, enjoying a laid-back lunch after a countryside stroll, or settling down for an evening meal, people and their pups can expect to be met with a warm welcome. Dog-friendly dining can be hard to find in the UK, making a visit to a Vintage Inn a must for dog owners. Elsewhere, Gaucho restaurants claim to be exceptionally dog-friendly, even offering activities for dogs and their owners at select venues. Specialising in Argentinian steaks and cuisine, Gaucho provides a sophisticated ambience that's a touch more formal than a cosy country pub. Vintage Inns offers a carefully curated traditional menu that caters to modern palates. Think perfectly prepared pub classics such as freshly battered fish and chips, decadent sticky toffee pudding, and hearty Sunday roasts. Alongside these favourites, each location serves a variety of seasonal specials and an extensive drinks menu, reports the Mirror. The Weekend Treat Menu features three courses for £30. Available on Friday and Saturday evenings from 6pm, dishes include a honey-baked whole camembert to share and tender slow-cooked pork belly with all the trimmings. Weekend diners can also add to the experience by sharing select bottles of wine for just £20. For those visiting during the day, there's a Lunch Set Menu that starts from £17.50 for two courses. Pub classics like the beef and red wine lasagne are up for grabs, as well as more unique offerings such as the chicken katsu rice bowl. Regular diners, or those who are planning to be, can enjoy savings through the Vintage Inn Rewards scheme. Members receive a complimentary drink, 20% off main meals, a free starter or dessert and can enjoy a £30 off a £60 spend - all through the app loyalty card. By signing up for My Vintage Inns Rewards, new members can enjoy a welcome offer of £10 off a £40 spend. Diners can collect digital stamps with each visit, quickly reorder favourite dishes. The app also makes it easy to book tables and browse menus before visiting. For even more savings, the app offers a "Refer a Friend" program, where both guests and their friend can enjoy 33% off a main course meal. Simply download the app, click "Refer a Friend," and share the link - your friend gets 33% off their first meal, and once they redeem it, you get 33% off your next visit. If Vintage Inns' selection doesn't hit the spot, Harvester restaurants are ready with their famous unlimited salad bar and a variety of value meals across 164 UK locations. Visitors have praised the chain as "good value for money" with friendly staff on Trustpilot. Diners who have already experienced the comfort of a Vintage Inn have also left reviews for various locations on TripAdvisor. One customer said: "We visited The Golden Retriever pub in Bracknell yesterday with our two rescue German Shepherd dogs. The place is amazing inside and out and the staff were really friendly." Another review gushed: "The Barge Inn, Woolstone. Extremely attentive and friendly bar staff. Lovely cosy interior - beams! Very dog friendly. Nice and clean. Made to feel so welcome - will definitely be back. Had my favourite pink gin. The creme brulee was delicious!". A satisfied customer raved about their recent visit to The Priory in Portbury, stating: "Had a fabulous steak meal at the Priory at Portbury highly recommend it. Steak cooked to perfection and well presented. Staff were extremely friendly and nothing was too much trouble." However, not everyone left with the same high spirits. Another diner only left a three-star review after an evening at the Three Legged Cross Inn, saying: "My husband and I went to the Three Legged Cross Inn. It was 7 p.m. We were told that there were no steak meals left." They did concede, however: "The meals we had were of good quality, the atmosphere was pleasant, and our waitress was pleasant and attentive." The reviews mostly highlight positive experiences. Emphasising this point, a glowing five-star review for The Globe in Bath read: "Absolutely wonderful evening meal for our son's birthday. Even the dog enjoyed it!" and praised further by saying: "The staff were so friendly and attentive and the service was prompt even though the restaurant was completely full. The food was presented beautifully and so tasty and fresh!"

JoJo Siwa 'dropped by record label' as Chris Hughes romance steps up
Celebrity Big Brother star JoJo Siwa has reportedly been dropped by her record label Columbia Records and is now said to be looking for a new place to call home JoJo Siwa has parted ways with her record company Columbia Records according to recent reports. The Dance Moms star, currently linked romantically to her Celebrity Big Brother housemate Chris Hughes, is understood to be seeking a new label. Speculation grew as she independently released her latest single Bulletproof. Previously, she was part of a star-studded roster of talent at the label which includes the likes of Miley Cyrus and Halle. However, a recent check reveals that JoJo's name no longer appears on the official website artist list. This comes after her release of the single Karma and an EP titled Guilty Pleasure with the label last year, reports the Mirror. "JoJo has been dropped by Columbia Records... she self-released her latest song Bulletproof whereas Karma was done with the label. She has been in London on the lookout for a new record company to sign with and playing gigs hoping to impress the right people," a spokesperson shared with the Mail. Regardless of the setback, JoJo's touring schedule remains uninterrupted with US dates continuing later this month, where her new reported boyfriend Chris Hughes expected to be cheering her on from the audience. The pair have been spending a lot of time together, sending fans into a frenzy at their outings, as they appear to be getting closer than ever. JoJo, who recently turned 22, opened up about the close relationship she shares with 32-year-old Chris since they left the reality TV show. During a chat with Capital Breakfast's Jordan North earlier in the week, she expressed her deep affection for Chris. She shared with the host: "You know what's interesting? As hectic as life is, and as much as that noise goes on, I feel like Christopher and I discovered this beautiful house together. "And this house is earthquake proof, and it's fireproof, and bulletproof. And you know, we discovered this house and found the keys, and we took the keys and locked ourselves in, and now it's like... You know what I mean? I feel like that with myself, I feel like that with him." When Jordan enquired if Chris was her "happy place," she enthusiastically confirmed. She continued gushing over the former Love Island star: "Oh my god, absolutely! We're having the best time. He's just the best! "I was saying this to my parents the other day. Like, I'm decently nice; he makes me look like I'm mean! And I'm like known for being nice, that's the thing. People say to me, 'Oh, you're so nice'. "He makes me we want to be nicer, because he's such a nice human. He's the best egg in the batch! I could never get tired of speaking highly of him, he's just the best."
