Discontinued White Chocolate Maltesers set for UK return
The confectionery company is responsible for a range of popular chocolates including M&Ms, Snickers, Skittles and, of course, Mars bars.
Mars is also responsible for Maltesers, which are balls of crunchy, light, and airy malt coated in milk chocolate.
Along with the original milk chocolate version, Mars has also released various other flavours over the years.

Back in 2003, it launched White Chocolate Maltesers in the UK.
However, the chocolates were discontinued in 2014 due to "low sales".
More than 10 years later, fans are still distraught about the axing of the Maltesers chocolate, calling on Mars to bring it back.
Discontinued UK chocolates and sweets
One fan on X (formerly Twitter) said: "@MaltesersUK bring back the white chocolate Maltesers please."
Another person posted: "Had a dream last night that white chocolate maltesers were back and I bought a whole crate of them."
A third person commented: "Whoever made the final decision to discontinue white chocolate maltesers is my eternal arch-nemesis."

Love Island fans call for boy to be KICKED OFF show after ‘disgusting' red flag comment
LOVE Island fans have called for one of the lads to be axed after he made a "disgusting" comment about Shakira Khan. Ben Holbrough sparked immediate red flag fears among viewers after pulling bombshell Toni Laites for a private chat. 7 Love Island fans are calling for Ben Holbrough to be kicked out Credit: ITV 7 It comes after he said Shakira Khan 'needed to be humbled' Credit: ITV 7 Ben made the 'red flag' remark while chatting to bombshell Toni Laites Credit: ITV American Toni - short for Antonia - had stolen Ben from Shakira moments earlier after making her shock entrance. Sitting down with Toni, Ben praised her for the savage move as he said Shakira "needed to be humbled". "I like it because it's humbled Shakira. She needed that," he told Toni. Fans on the show were horrified by taxi driver Ben's shock remark about the 22-year-old model. Venting on X, formerly known as Twitter, one viewer raged: "Shakira needed to be humbled????? on day one?!! get Ben OUT OF THIS VILLA!" Another fumed: "Ben saying Shakira needed to be humbled and he's known her for three hours, he's a weirdo he needs to leave already." A third added: "It humbled Shakira. She needed that.' Put Ben in the bin pls." A fourth blasted: 'I like it it humbled shakira she needed that' sorry?? What? Get him off my screen what a bizarre thing to say." And someone else agreed: "What did Ben mean by Shakria needed humbled? Its not even been 24 hours. get this p**** out." As a result of Toni's arrival in the villa, Sophie Lee was savagely dumped from Love Island on Tuesday night. First person dumped from Love Island revealed Just 24 hours after she had arrived, 29-year-old Sophie was made to repack her bags and leave the villa. Ben, 30, had originally been coupled up with Shakira but was stolen from her by Toni when she walked in. Shakira was given one day to find a connection with another guy otherwise she would have been dumped from the island. Unfortunately for Sophie, the brunette managed to turn Harry Cooksley's head and picked him to recouple with. Her decision left Sophie single and she was sent home. Shakira needed a pep talk from Love Island host Maya Jama before telling the group that she wanted to recouple with the footballer. As she was about to make her decision known, Shakira turned away from the fire pit and her voice cracked. She whispered to Maya: "So let me just get this straight, whoever I pick, that girl gets dumped?" Maya replied: "Yeah." Shakira whispered: "For f***'s sake. I still don't know which one I'm picking." Have YOU got a story or an amazing picture or video? Email exclusive@ and you could even get PAID Maya advised Shakira to go with the guy who she was most compatible with, adding: "You don't want to regret anything later." Sophie, a former fire breather and dancer who was left scarred for life following a terrifying accident, has since broken her silence on her early exit. 7 Shakira had tor recouple with someone after Toni stole Ben Credit: Eroteme 7 Shakira needed a pep talk from Maya Jama when picking a new man 7 She chose to recouple with Harry Cooksley Credit: ITV

Twix adverts banned for condoning unsafe driving
Five viewers complained the ads encouraged dangerous driving and were irresponsible. Mars-Wrigley, which owns the Twix brand, told the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) the ad had a 'cinematic presentation' and was set in a 'world that was absurd, fantastical and removed from reality'. 📰 This week's rulings include: 🚘 A TV and Video on Demand ad for Mars Wrigley that condoned unsafe driving. 🏥 A website for Navi Organics that made unsubstantiated efficacy claims and discouraged essential medical treatment. 📖 Read more: — ASA (@ASA_UK) June 11, 2025 It said Twix is known for its playful and absurd tone, and the humour in the ad reflected this. However, the ASA said: 'We considered the emphasis on a chase, and the speed inherent to that, and the driving manoeuvres featured would be dangerous and irresponsible if emulated in real life on a public highway. 'Because we considered the driving depicted in the ads condoned unsafe driving that appeared likely to breach the legal requirements of the Highway Code, we concluded the ads were irresponsible.' The ASA ruled the ads must not appear again in their current form, adding: 'We told Mars-Wrigley not to condone or encourage irresponsible driving that was likely to breach the legal requirements of the Highway Code in their ads.'

Cat Deeley shows off legs in red mini dress perfect for occasions
Cat looked fabulous in the red halterneck mini dress and we've not doubt that shoppers will be racing to snap it up Tomato girl may have been the go-to aesthetic last summer, but Cat Deeley appears to be resurrecting the 2024 trend with her This Morning wardrobe. The presenter has sported the warm, vibrant hue on not one, but three occasions since her half-term return to the show, with her latest being a chic ensemble from one of Instagram's favourite 'cool girl' brands. The 48-year-old turned heads yesterday as she showed off her pins in a striking red halterneck mini dress from COS, a sister brand to high street favourite H&M. Priced at £85, the Fluid Halterneck Mini Dress is expected to be a popular choice for summer events, especially after being spotted on the stylish mum-of-two. The a-line dress features a chic draped neckline with elongated ties at the back - not to mention side seam pockets for all your essentials. It boasts a relaxed fit that disguises the tummy area, and is made from a TENCEL Lyocell blend, a fabric known for its softness and breathability, making it a warm weather wardrobe winner. The dress is as comfortable as it is chic, so we won't be surprised if shoppers want to snap it up in every colour, including light green and brown. However, its size range is quite narrow, available only in sizes 4-16. By comparison, M&S's red mini shift dress comes in sizes 6-24 and is available in three lengths, setting customers back £29.50. But we can see why fashion fans may covet the COS number, especially seeing we've struggled to find anything like it online. While Cat paired hers with nude strappy heels, COS recommends kitten heels and sculptural jewellery for an elevated look. One might struggle to dress this one down for more casual events, though - flats and a denim jacket may be as relaxed as it gets. This shade of red is one that Cat has found herself gravitating towards a lot lately. Earlier this month, she sported Next's Black Hardware Detail Halter Top, priced at £39, paired with ME + EM's Ultra High Waist Wide-Leg Trouser in the orangey-red trousers. She's since also worn these Flowing trousers with darts for £99.95 from Massimo Dutti, letting them do all of the outfit's heavy lifting by styling them with a plain white tee. And a mini dress is a staple of Cat's wardrobe, too. Back in May, the presenter looked summer-ready in a Yellow Bow Embellished Mini Dress. While it may look designer, slotting in effortlessly with Cat's high end personal style, the dress is actually from high-street favourite River Island, and comes in at £75. But it's her little red number that feels like an early contender for summer's must-have outfit, so for anyone wanting to snap it up before it sells out, shoppers can find it on the COS website here.
