The best bottomless brunch in Los Angeles
Bottomless hours: Varies by location, but every Bacari is open Sat, Sun 10:30am–2:30pm.
Why we love it: With locations across the city, a menu with a little bit of something for everyone and a killer happy hour, this Israeli-inspired local chain with a nightly open bar and bottomless mimosas on the weekends is a go-to for many Angelenos, particularly for a boozy brunch. Each outpost has its own unique charms, but I'm partial to the West 3rd Street location, where the cave-like entrance transports you to a garden-like setting that's perfect for brunch. Choose from bottomless mimosas, strawberry bellinis or sparkling sangria for $32 per person as you enjoy share-style small plates that pull from the global pantry—think Oaxacan pasta, shawarma tacos and a gluten-free Dutch baby pancake with fruit, honey and créme fraiche. My favorite items here are mujadara, a Levantine dish of lentils and basmati rice with roots in Syria; the glazed pork belly, topped with sesame seeds, lemon juice and green onions; and the medjool date cake topped with brown sugar caramel and crispy bacon.

From floral pastries in botanical gardens, to Mexican-inspired scones in quirky hotels, Sophie Swietochowski picks out the best afternoon teas to celebrate. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Mex it up and taste a strawburrito at Virgin Credit: Supplied 2 The Retreat's tea has a botanical theme Credit: Supplied The Crown Hotel, Harrogate, North Yorks Harrogate's charming Crown has been serving afternoon tea since the 1880s – so they've certainly had time to master the ritual. Their summer tea is an absolute steal at £26 per head and includes all the best sandwich fillings such as egg mayo and smoked salmon, plus scones and various sweet treats. Make sure to try the chocolate, rum and pistachio delice. GO: Summer Afternoon Tea costs £26pp or £32 with a glass of fizz or Pimm's. See Virgin Hotels London-Shoreditch You'll have to be quick to bag a table at this fun-packed tea that's fuelled by tipples, as it's available for the next two weeks only. To celebrate the launch of Virgin Atlantic's new route to Mexico, special afternoon tea-quila (see what they've done there?) experiences will be taking place throughout the week at this glorious East London hotel. Expect Mexican twists on classic treats – including a strawburrito, crammed with grilled strawberries and mexi-scones, flavoured with Cheddar and jalapeno.

With the rolling hills of Dartmoor National Park on its doorstep, five-star Bovey Castle is crawling with history, having transformed from a manor house into a hospital during World War One, before becoming the golf hotel it is today. It may never have operated as a castle, but it's still a lovely place to spend an afternoon while tucking into salt beef sarnies, pork and apple sausage rolls and choux buns oozing with meringue filling. Little ones can tuck into a mini version too. GO: A traditional Afternoon Tea at Bovey Castle, Devon is from £45pp or £60 with champagne. A Children's Afternoon Tea is £15. See

Love Island's Kai and Sanam's baby bombshell after intimate wedding
Love Island's Kai Fagan jokes he wants a 'whole football team' as he talks about his future children with his new wife Sanam Harrinanan after their intimate wedding Loved-up Love Island stars Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan are already talking about growing their family, just days after they tied the knot at the beginning of the month. Kai joked that he wants a 'whole football team', but wants to enjoy some married life just the two of them first. The couple tied the knot just 15 months after announcing their engagement and declared their vows in front of 60 special guests. They said 'I do' in a beautiful ceremony at High House near Chelmsford on Saturday, 2 August, surrounded by their nearest and dearest. While the newlyweds are keen to travel and enjoy life as a married couple, babies are certainly part of their future, as they have talked about growing their family and have agreed on a certain number, with Kai joking he wants more. It comes after photos show Holly Willoughby letting her hair down in white swimsuit on sun soaked holiday. In an exclusive chat, Kai jokes, 'I want a whole football team!', before adding: 'We have agreed two. I definitely need an Mbappé.' While they appear excited to start that chapter, Kai says they have other priorities at the moment and are in no rush for sleepless nights. He said: 'Right now, we want to travel, build and just enjoy each other.' Sanam added that they have had conversations about growing their family, and they have also spoken about doing 'ancestry tests'. She said: 'We've also spoken about doing ancestry tests to see how deep our DNA goes so we can bring our kids up to be aware of their cultural heritage.' They decided to incorporate cultural elements into their wedding day, which made it extra special. They chose Caribbean-infused music and rum punch welcome drinks. The wedding feast also included Trinidadian-inspired curry, as well as a classic British roast and a two-tier buttercream cake. Kai said: 'We wanted it to feel like us. No show, just soul.' While opening up on their fairytale wedding, the couple also reflected on their abnormal love story. Sanam said: 'We never even asked each other to be boyfriend and girlfriend. It just happened. We've been together ever since the villa.' The sweet couple met on the winter series of Love Island in 2023. They met during Casa Amor, where their spark was undeniable, and they went on to take home the Love Island crown. Their relationship quickly blossomed, and Kai popped the question in April 2024 as the two enjoyed a romantic gondola ride in Cambridge. When asked if they'd do any part of the wedding differently, Sanam sweetly said: 'Maybe relive it one more time. Just to feel it all again. Because it really was the best day of our lives.'

Secretlab Titan Evo McLaren Edition review – stunning long-term comfort with a new, epic design
Secretlab has taken the Titan Evo and given it a McLaren makeover, making what is one of the world's best gaming chairs even better in the process. The Secretlab Titan Evo McLaren Edition is a supremely comfortable chair, which thrives during gaming sessions and office use, while it's McLaren-focused design gives it a unique look that's perfect for F1 fans. Secretlab is a brand that's become synonymous with high-quality gaming chairs and desks, and after reviewing its premium standing desk recently and giving it a 5/5 in my Secretlab Magnus Pro review, it seemed like it was about time I tried out its premium gaming chair option, too. The Titan Evo has been around for a while now, having been released back in 2021, with the design remaining largely unchanged. But back in January, Secretlab announced a McLaren collab, which kicked off with the release of the Titan Evo McLaren Edition, a chair which takes the Titan Evo and gives it a papaya makeover, in what is the world's first McLaren-inspired gaming chair. It's not cheap, coming in at £734 / $799 / AU$1200 (approx), which is significantly more than the £469 / $499 / AU$750 (approx) for the Titan Evo with hybrid Leatherette. Secretlab Titan Evo McLaren Edition design and features The McLaren Edition boasts the same features as the standard Titan Evo, but with some added touches that make the chair unique as an offering. Like all Titan Evos, this chair features cold-cure foam, which is medium-firm and is optimised for weight-distribution, pressure relief and support in the long term, rather than just for the first few weeks. It's also got the pebble seat base and the four-day lumbar support, which moves up, down, in and out to support the natural curvature of the lower back (20-45 degrees), 4D armrests, 165-degree recline back rest and a magnetic memory foam head pillow. But what makes the McLaren Edition special is that it has carbon fibre leatherette panels in the design and is wrapped in a soft microsuede rather than the hybrid leatherette, soft weave fabric, or leather that features on the standard designs. And, of course, there's also the unique colour scheme, with the iconic papaya orange featuring heavily all over, even in the stitching! The backrest also sports the McLaren logo and the McLaren-inspired papaya hexagonal grille pattern, which looks super cool. From any angle, this chair is absolutely gorgeous, provided you like orange! Putting the chair together was also pretty self-explanatory, with detailed instructions that are printed on a massive McLaren poster, which is a lovely touch, as you can hang up the poster afterwards, which is exactly what I've done! You may need someone else's help to lift up the chair or support the wheels while you lift, depending on your build. Secretlab Titan Evo McLaren Edition performance The build quality is super impressive, with every material used on the chair feeling premium. Whether it's the microsuede, which feels so, so soft, or the armrests, and even the plastic that coats the metal frame, everything just feels high-end and built to last. And it's the same story with the comfort of the chair, which, although initially felt pretty firm in the first few days, especially compared to my older gaming chair, now that I've got used to it, it's supremely comfortable and, more importantly, supportive in all the right areas. The lumbar support is also excellent. Two knobs on either side of the backrest control the height and intensity of the support, giving you control over how much or how little you prefer. The one small gripe I have is that the knobs are a bit uncomfortable to reach when actually sitting in the chair, as in you have to bend your whole arm back to reach and twist them, but it's a pretty minor inconvenience. I've used this chair day and night for around a month and a half, and whether I'm gaming for long periods or sitting at my desk working, it's just a lovely place to sit. Secretlab Titan Evo McLaren Edition final thoughts If you're looking for a gaming chair that gives ultimate comfort while being built to last, the Titan Evo is a superb option. It's obviously a significant outlay initially, but compared to other gaming chairs that are nowhere near this level of comfort, it's easy to recommend investing a little more in this chair, particularly for the long term, due to the high-end materials that will survive all-day use for years to come. But the McLaren Edition takes this to another level, with the extra carbon fibre details, unique microsuede, and the stunning McLaren colour scheme, making this an even better version of what is already one of the world's best gaming chairs. It's not cheap, but for F1 fans, it's a dream.
