Shoppers are flocking to Dunelm to buy a 12-piece tableware set, and it's being compared to a much pricier version from Anthropologie.
The tableware deal has been reduced from £60 to £48 - that's a 20% saving.

Amalfi Reactive Glaze 12 Piece
Dinner Set, £48 (was £60)
Dunelm is a popular place for shoppers to upgrade their homeware, and it's known for its affordable prices.
The current sale is cutting prices even further, with up to 50% off, and the Amalfi Reactive Glaze 12 Piece Dinner set is gaining praise from Dunelm fans.
This gorgeous-looking set includes four dinner plates, four side plates and four cereal bowls.
So if your plate cupboard's looking a little mismatched and is need of a glow-up, you could do a full revamp for less than £50.
The name refers to the Amalfi coast in Italy, and this range definitely has that sunny, Mediterranean look.
So it's great if you're looking for an alfresco set-up when having guests over for dinner this summer.
There are four pared-back shades to choose from, but it's the blue shade that looks most like Anthropologie's.
Shoppers are picking up on the similarities too - the most noticeable difference, really, is the price tag.
Although Anthropologie doesn't have a set with the exact same 12items included, the Ginny range is a close match.
But you'd have to buy dinner plates, side plates and bowls separately - and they would all cost £176 altogether.
The colour isn't the only similarity, as both are made from a reactive glaze, something which is often used for handmade items.
This means that there are variations in the shape and pattern, so each piece is slightly unique.
This is something which is often used for handmade items, so it can give stoneware pieces the illusion of being more expensive than they are.
By buying the Dunelm set you'd not only save £128, but the reviews are much more positive too.
Hundreds of shoppers have left their opinions on the Amalfi set, with one shopper commenting: ''I went for the grey [set] - beautiful pieces, they look really expensive and classy.''
Another shopper praised the plate set, comparing it to Anthropologie: ''The nicest plate set I've ever owned.
''A dupe for a very expensive Anthropologie set and it's hard to tell the difference. I love them.''
A third Dunelm fan was also complimentary, saying: ''This is a gorgeous set'', and adding ''the dinner plates fit in our dishwasher without a problem.''
The dining set also seems popular as a housewarming gift, with multiple buyers mentioning that they chose it to give to a friend or family member for their new home.
If you're looking for the Med vibes at home this summer, just make sure you jump on this deal before it ends.

Ferrari Confirms Yearly Forecast Despite Tariff Uncertainty, Schedules First EV Deliveries

Ferrari puts up impressive numbers for Q1 Several automakers, including but not limited to Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, and Ford, have suspended their financial guidance after Q1 because of uncertainties relating to U.S. vehicle and parts import tariffs, but Ferrari deviated from this trend. Instead, the Italian automaker confirmed its 2025 economic forecast after reporting a 15% profit rise during Q1, and despite warning that U.S. tariffs could cut 50 basis points (half a percent) of its 2025 profit margins. Ferrari also said it will start deliveries of its first-ever electric vehicle (EV), the Elettrica, in October 2026. The company's CEO, Benedetto Vigna, said the first part of the Elettrica's reveal, scheduled for October of this year, will focus on the vehicle's 'technological heart,' according to Carscoops. Ferrari will develop and build the EV's electric motors, battery modules, and inverters in Maranello. Ferrari 12Cilindri — Source: Ferrari How Ferrari achieved its positive Q1 results The exotic carmaker is forecasted to bring in 2025 earnings of at least €2.68 billion ($3.03 billion) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation, Reuters reports. Ferrari's Q1 success is attributed to a more expensive inventory, including the 499P Modificata ($5.4 million), the SF90XX lineup (starting at $890,000), and the 12Cilindri (starting at $470,950), along with an increase in demand for bespoke specs and from more profitable markets, such as the Americas. Shipments rose 8% in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, while the Americas registered a 3% increase, according to The Wall Street Journal. The most frequently delivered Ferraris included the Roma Spider, 296 GTS, SF90XX family, and the Purosangue. Markets with a decline in deliveries comprised China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan at 25%, and the rest of the Asia-Pacific at 6%. Vigna noted the automaker shipped 3,593 cars during Q1, 33 more than the previous year, which was mostly in line with expectations. He added that Ferrari achieved these results because the company focused on the quality of revenue vs. volumes. In Q1, Ferrari reported a net profit of €412 million ($465.9 million), up from €352 million during the same period last year. 'All key metrics recorded double-digit growth, underscoring a strong profitability driven by our product mix and continued demand for personalizations,' Vigna said to The Wall Street Journal. Conversely, automakers like Mercedes-Benz reported experiencing lower profitability in Q1, with U.S. tariffs causing the company to ditch its 2025 financial guidance. Mercedes-Benz announced a 7.3% profit margin for its car segment, down from 9% during last year's Q1. 'The current volatility with regard to tariff policies, mitigation measures and resulting potential direct and indirect effects, in particular on customer behavior and demand, is too high to reliably assess the business development for the remainder of the year,' the German automaker said in a statement according to Reuters. Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale — Source: Ferrari Final thoughts Ferrari's announcement on its EV is significant since it's the first time the automaker has gone on record providing an official timetable for the model's debut. What's equally significant is how the company is sticking to its 2025 financial guidance, while nearly the entire auto industry is doing the opposite. With grim auto market outlooks for 2025 appearing left and right, Ferrari's standout Q1 and confidence in its annual projections are a breath of fresh air.

Lisa Snowdon, 53, shows off her toned physique in a stylish khaki bikini during dreamy Salento getaway

Lisa Snowdon showed off her incredible figure in a khaki bikini as she shared a selection of snaps from her sun-soaked holiday in Salento, Puglia on Wednesday. The TV show host, 53, looked sensational in the flattering two-piece, which featured a one-shoulder bikini top and matching low-rise bottoms. She paired the look with a light green semi-sheer cover-up and accessorised with a silver necklace, bangle, and grey aviator sunglasses. The beauty radiated confidence as she struck a series of poses for the camera. In another snap, Lisa looked completely at ease as she enjoyed a delicious lunch and sipped a cocktail at the luxury four-star hotel Il Giardino Grande. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. In another stunning snap, she smiled for a selfie while relaxing on a sun lounger, enjoying what appeared to be an Aperol Spritz. She captioned the slew of stunning snaps: 'I've had worse Wednesdays (love heart emoji) 'Boxing Day birthday for @i_smarticus 4 hours of admin earlier, finally switching off for today. This place @ilgiardinogrande ♥️.' The holiday snaps come after Lisa admitted she has 'reservations' about marrying George Smart eight years after they got engaged. The model and communications firm founder, 44, first dated more than 20 years ago when she was a DJ at MTV and he was the channel's head of events. The lovebirds rekindled their romance a decade ago and got engaged in 2017. When asked when they're going to tie the knot, Lisa admitted she has a 'tiny hint of reservation' that marriage will 'change' their relationship. 'Deep down I do know it wouldn't, but then I think, "Well my mum and dad's marriage didn't last," and some people say, "Don't do it because it changes things,"' she told The Mirror. 'So there's 90 per cent of me that knows nothing would change, but a tiny hint of reservation where I think it would.' George, however, said he has no hesitation and would marry Lisa tomorrow if they could get their friends - who are 'dotted around the world' - all together. He told the outlet he 'knows nothing would change' and is ready to 'have that bravery' to take 'the next step'. When asked what she's excited for about getting married, Lisa said: 'Being able to call him "my husband" and saying, "My husband's coming soon, I'm just waiting for my husband!" I think I prefer "my husband" to "my fiancé" – I'd love it!' The couple, who recently enjoyed a trip to the Caribbean to celebrate Lisa's 53rd birthday, are planning more travel in the future to Chile, Peru, Thailand and Guatemala. As for TV work, they said they'd love their own travel show, with George joking it should be called 'Couples Travel'. The former Britain's Next Top Model previously revealed she had early menopause and has 'made peace' with the fact she will never have biological childre n with George. 'We'd discussed it in the past but hadn't started trying, so I knew we'd have to explore other options in the future if we did want to become parents,' she told The Sun in 2021. 'George was brilliant about it and told me we could look into alternative ways in the future. It was a lot to come to terms with.' Lisa also revealed that year that she was prescribed antidepressants after experiencing low moods and anxiety as a result of early menopause. The presenter, who suffers from endometriosis, started experiencing depression around 10 years ago but had no idea her symptoms were a result of the perimenopause. Appearing on Lorraine at the time, she explained that her 2016 appearance on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! was worsened by 'debilitating' periods, low energy and 'brain fog'. The model said she relied on the pill to stop her irregular cycle. It wasn't until being prescribed Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) that Lisa was able to 'take ownership' of her health. She hailed the treatment as a 'game-changer' and insisted she 'wouldn't be without it'. 'When I look back it did creep up on me, it wasn't a definite pinpoint the actual day I knew I was going into perimenopause,' she said. Now Lisa takes HRT for her symptoms and says that she no longer has 'rages' or 'screams' at George. 'I am on HRT I've been on it for about four years and I wouldn't be without it, It's changed everything. It's been a game changer,' she said. 'I feel like myself again, I'm not screaming at my partner, I don't have rages. 'I feel like I recognise myself again and I've been able to take ownership of looking after my health.'

Jannik Sinner storms past Alexander Bublik to reach French Open semi-finals

Half an hour into his first appearance in a grand slam quarter-final, Alexander Bublik pumped his fist to the sky and smiled widely. The source of the 27-year-old's joy, however, was not a blazing start to the biggest match of his career or the hope that he could take his run even further. He had simply won his first game. After the jubilation of breaking new ground in Paris, Bublik's fairytale came to a harsh end as he was picked apart by Jannik Sinner, the world No 1, who continued his march through the French Open draw with another relentless performance and a 6-1, 7-5, 6-0 win. Five matches into his tournament, Sinner is still to drop a set. He has now won his past 19 matches at grand slam tournaments after his consecutive triumphs at the US Open and Australian Open. Sinner has also won 46 of his past 48 matches in all competitions. 'I'm just happy to be in the semis and see what I can do,' the Italian said. 'Last year I played a good match in the semis, so I'm proud to be again here. I wouldn't have thought to be here in this position since my comeback, so I'm very happy to take things like they are, and hopefully I'm ready. I just want to watch my side of the net, and then we see.' Following Lorenzo Musetti's quarter-final win against Frances Tiafoe on Tuesday, this tournament also represents the first time in the open era that two Italian men reached the semi-finals of the same grand slam event and the second time in history after Nicola Pietrangeli and Orlando Sirola reached the French Open semi-finals in 1960. The French Open is Sinner's second tournament since returning from his three-month doping ban. He reached the final of his first tournament back on home soil at the Italian Open. The confidence he gained in Rome has allowed him to take his game to another level in Paris, where he is attempting to win his first major title away from hard courts. 'It's not easy,' Bublik said. 'He's playing fast. He's playing smart. He's basically playing every match under two hours, so physically he's very at a top level, so it's not easy, as you can see. It's not only me who got bageled. I wish him all the luck. He deserves to be where he is. We are all going to wait for the final we all wanted.' Sinner has torn through his section of the draw in Paris, demolishing all opposition. In the third round, Jiri Lehecka similarly found himself celebrating a single game after trailing 6-0, 5-0. In round four, despite his tendency to lose his composure when things are not going his way, Andrey Rublev could only smile and accept his defeat to a superior player. Two days after Bublik upset the fifth seed Jack Draper with a spectacular performance, he was brushed aside by the Italian. 'That's a very positive week, but every fairytale comes to an end,' Bublik said. Sign up to The Recap The best of our sports journalism from the past seven days and a heads-up on the weekend's action after newsletter promotion Sinner also reflected on the emergence of Loïs Boisson, the French wildcard who defeated the sixth seed Mirra Andreeva earlier on Wednesday to reach the semi-finals at the French Open in her first grand slam appearance. Sinner and Boisson warmed up together on Court Philippe Chatrier in the morning before their matches. Sinner noted that they both used to train at the Piatti Tennis Academy where they would sometimes practice together. 'I saw her before the tournament in the gym in [stadium] Jean Bouin,' said Sinner. 'We talked a little bit about how things are, and she was very happy. Having a wildcard here, it's a special tournament for her, being French. I think the level she produces is amazing, no? Very consistent. Very clay-court style, with the forehand, a lot of topspin. 'Today it was raining, so I called the [practice] desk [to see] if there was some free spot, because I don't want to risk going on court without warming up. So we arrived here quite early. She said straightaway yes, and we hit some balls. It was a very consistent warm-up for a different game style for a woman, because the ball is quite high and quite spinny. Physically very strong. She deserves to be in the position where she is right now, and we wish her all the best for the future.'
