Siblings' hilarious Chicken Song they wrote on a long car journey with dad has over 1 million hits on YouTube

A brother and sister, now aged 11 and 13, used a long and boring car journey to create a hit song that's gone viral on YouTube racking up more than a millions views so far. Siblings Jago and Dorothy were 8 and 10 respectively when, stuck in traffic on the M5 travelling home to Oxford from a family holiday with their dad James Jackson and their mum Jenny in Cornwall, they came up with The Chicken Song, a fun pop track about how much chickens wish they could fly and all of the various methods they might try to do so, only to fall short.

Taking to Instagram, Tommy shared a series of snaps from the trio's sunny holiday in Turkey - including one of them all cosied up. He captioned: "One of the best trips ever." One follower commented: "These photos are so special." Another added: "Bambi looks sooo happy as do you all, lovely pics." A third shared: "Good seeing you back where you belong lad." It comes as Molly-Mae revealed why Tommy doesn't feature in her YouTube vlogs. Fans had claimed that Molly's sister Zoe, 28, is more of a father figure due to her regular appearance in the videos. Molly-Mae explained: "I've seen so many comments saying 'Zoe is more the dad' I only vlog when I am not with Tommy, I am with Tommy literally 80% of the week and he is with Bambi majority of the week. "But I vlog when we are here and he is at his because it's just something that I am not ready to like open up with yet and like flinging the camera around like when we're a family. Molly-Mae admits real reason she's not filming with Tommy Fury after breaking down in tears on camera "I just think like we're not there yet and still figuring out life and living situations. I'm not ready to vlog like we used to." The couple only recently confirmed their reunion after splitting last August. Their relationship story featured in Molly's recent Amazon documentary where she talked about their New Year's Eve kiss, which began feverish speculation that they were back together. They are now working hard to put past cheating allegations and Tommy's alcohol-fuelled partying problems behind them. A source previously told us: 'It sounds extreme, but Molly feels much more reassured when Tommy checks in. "It all helps with trust, honesty and transparency between the two of them. 'Tommy dutifully phones Molly the minute that he arrives anywhere. 'And then she likes him to also show her where he is. 'This has been going on for months now, and Tommy's friends are impressed that he has agreed to it whole-heartedly.'

Yes, New York now has a tomato ketchup smoothie to try

If someone were to ask, 'Is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable?', you may get differing answers depending on the company. Commonly classified as veg, the savory red plant is, in fact, a fruit, or really a berry, as the fruit grows from the flower of a plant and has a chamber of seeds inside. That being said, NFL player George Kittle dropped a further dilemma on us, positing on X: 'If tomatoes are a fruit, is ketchup a smoothie?' Now his musings have come to fruition, as one iconic condiment brand is bringing the ketchup smoothie to life. Just in time for the peak of the tomato season, HEINZ has debuted The HEINZ Tomato Ketchup Smoothie. Starting today, August 6, select Smoothie King locations around the country, including Atlanta, Chicago, Denver and right here in the city, are blending up the ripened red smoothie for a limited time. More than just a squirt of the stuff in a Styrofoam cup, the smoothie comes with a blend of açaí sorbet, apple juice, strawberries and raspberries for a sweet and tangy sip. 'After months of meticulous R&D, testing, and tasting, we landed on a savory-sweet blend that celebrates the tomato in all its glory,' said Lori Primavera, vice president of R&D and product marketing at Smoothie King, in a press release. Of course, this isn't the first time the smoothie franchise has blended up something special. Last year, the brand partnered with Dude Perfect, a group of influencers whose content of comedy and trick-shots has racked up 61.4 million subscribers on YouTube. The group of five—Cory and Coby Cotton, Garrett Hilbert, Cody Jones and Tyler Toney—created a protein-based drink, aptly named Dude Perfect, that included a combo of pineapples, bananas, kiwi-apple juice, vanilla frozen yogurt, turbinado and blue spirulina for color. It begs to reason: will the Smoothie King follow in the footsteps of upscale L.A. grocer, Erewhon, and tap celebrities like Hailey Bieber and Olivia Rodrigo for its prohibitively expensive smoothies? It's hard to say. But if you are ready for a 'tomato girl summer' now, head to your nearest Smoothie King to try the berry-like concoction and join the discourse by using the hashtag #KetchupSmoothie.

Fringe 2025: Cold, Dark Matters ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Well this isn't quite what I was expecting. Cold, Dark Matters is billed as a play about 'moving to rural communities, and the dangers of obsessively fitting in. 'I think I imagined a sad tale of an incomer ('emmet' in Cornwall) trying to join local activities and being given the cold shoulder. Cold, Dark, Matters takes 'fitting in' to far more Gothic levels than that. It's a clever, funny, very well acted show that leaves you wondering just what you've seen and whether the truth of it lies anywhere at all. Jack Brownridge-Kelly bounds onto the stage. He's going to tell us a true story about an acquaintance, a writer called 'Colin'. Colin's very successful series, The Lady and the Stone, is set in the area of Cornwall to which he's recently moved. Being somewhat lonely and isolated, he has decided NOT to join a book group, but instead to turn the old shed he sees from his kitchen window into the focal point of community allotments. When he meets Jago, a local and somewhat mysterious man, and Jago tells him that the shed will ultimately be blown up because his mates like doing things like that, Colin jumps at the chance to get involved in what he hopes is some sort of Pagan rite. He shuns the advances of the rather posh and somewhat lascivious Ethel, who's keen to get him to join in with rather more normal pursuits like choral singing and open water swimming. Colin's much keener on the idea of blowing up sheds; he ascribes all sorts of bizarre motives to Jago's 'hobby', but really he thinks getting in with Jago's friends will make him part of the cool gang. Jack Brownridge-Kelly plays each of the parts in the show with notable skill. A Cornishman himself, he can switch from Jago's deep local burr to Ethel's silky smooth tones and back to his own more neutral voice without missing a beat. He's also great at conveying Colin's over-enthusiasm, his almost childlike excitement when he thinks he's found an 'alternative' friend. When Jago takes Colin to a rave in an industrial unit, Jack's drug-fuelled dancing is a joy to behold. Again and again, Colin rejects the idea of writing a new book, or even talking about his work to one of Ethel's groups. He's done with writing, he wants to experience 'something real!' But is anything real in this story? And which story are we even in? As Jago embroils the willing Colin in more and more shed-based intrigue, it's hard to tell whether he's a wind-up merchant or something much more sinister. Jack plays with our minds just as Jago toys with Colin's, occasionally breaking the fourth wall to tell us more about the misguided writer. He was lonely, he was sad, but he wasn't a stupid person. Like incomers in any traditional area, he just wanted to belong. When Jago persuades Colin to set fire to the shed as a form of initiation, Colin is sufficiently invested in the whole idea to do as he's told. It is then that Cold, Dark, Matters moves into considerably darker territory, and Colin finds himself up to his neck in trouble. Yet once again Jack pulls the metaphorical rug from under the audience's feet. He has found Colin's manuscript, a record of the story Jack is now telling. He's not only read it, he's edited it, 'I made it my own.' The manuscript is unfinished, but Jack has, he says, a special surprise for us! We – and he – are at last to find out how Colin's story ends. Someone has just sent Jack an audiofile of the 'Real Ending.' But again we are thrown off course. We think we know what happened to Colin, but then…. Cold, Dark, Matters can be enjoyed on several levels. As a creepy story about a community at the edge of the world; as a study of isolation, and the lengths to which a lonely person might go to end it, or as a comment on the tensions caused when city people move into rural areas and try to impose their own fantasy versions of the countryside (allotments!) on people who are struggling with rural poverty. Cold, Dark, Matters can also be seen as an homage to the artist Cornelia Parker's 1991 work Cold, Dark, Matter: An Exploded View. Jack has said in an interview* that Parker is his favourite artist, and in the play he references Parker's own words when he describes the shed as a repository of people's junk. In Parker's work, a shed is blown up by the army, its surviving pieces used to make a suspended installation (just as the shed in the play is represented by a minimalist wooden structure hanging from the ceiling.) 'The safe place, the place of secrets and fantasy'** is destroyed. Colin craves excitement and change; he doesn't want to write the same old books, he doesn't want to join a choir or go swimming, instead he seeks a radical departure from conventionality. But when he dips his toe into that particular water, he isn't quite ready to cope with what he finds there, and he's suddenly all too willing to seek comfort in Ethel's book group. Cold, Dark, Matters is a very entertaining play, and one that will keep you guessing right to the end and long after it. Cold, Dark Matters, directed by Roisin McCay-Hine, is at C ARTS | C venues | C aurora (studio), 28 Lauriston Street (Venue 6) at 2.25pm every day until 8 August. * March 2024 **Tate Modern website, unattributed Like this: Like Related
