NHS eligibility for weight loss injections has expanded but still lags behind the number who could potentially benefit from taking them. Wegovy, medical name semaglutide, is only available for weight loss through specialist weight management clinics. Patients are typically expected to have tried other weight loss methods before getting a prescription. They may be eligible if their body mass index (BMI) is higher than 30, or higher than 27 if they have a weight-related health condition such as high blood pressure. Mounjaro, known as tirzepatide, is also available from GP practices but currently only to patients with a BMI of 40 or higher (or 37.5 if from a minority ethnic background) plus four weight-related health conditions. The medicines are currently being rationed to the patients most in need. NHS watchdog NICE estimates that more than three million Brits will ultimately be eligible. The GLP-1 injections are prescribed separately by GPs for people with type 2 diabetes, and patients should discuss this with their doctor.

Big Brother star slams Jeremy Clarkson's ‘dry beef' as savage pub review goes viral
Big Brother star Henry Southan has taken a savage swipe at Jeremy Clarkson's popular pub, The Farmer's Dog, in a now-viral TikTok review. The 26-year-old food critic, who appeared on the 20th series of the reality show in 2023, visited the pub last Sunday to celebrate Father's Day with his dad. But things quickly took a turn, from chaotic parking to what he later described as a disappointing roast. Upon arrival, Henry was met with a packed car park and was directed to an overflow area. In typical reality TV flair, he likened the scene to a major music festival: @henrysouthan Jeremy Clarkson's pub was…interesting. ♬ original sound – Henry Southan 'Guys, I've just got to Jeremy Clarkson's pub, The Farmer's Dog. I've got a reservation for lunch for my dad for Father's Day…it's like arriving at Glastonbury. This is the overflow car park. I'm in a field far away from the pub, and now I've got to trek to the pub, even with a reservation.' Despite having a booking, Henry admitted he was baffled by the sheer number of punters crowding the entrance, questioning how they'd all fit inside the modestly sized venue featured on Clarkson's Farm. 'It's absolutely wild. I feel like I've arrived at a music festival. There's just so many people… where are they all going to go? The pub can't be that big, surely. I'm very confused.' Jordan Sanga and Henry Southan on Big Brother 2023. Pic: ITV Clarkson had previously struck a deal with a local farmer to allow extra parking in a 34-acre field opposite the pub, but even with that, Henry was concerned, 'I'll tell you what, this better be the best roast I've ever eaten to justify the pain and the rigmarole that's gone into parking and everything. Sorry, I'm being a proper moaner right now – but it's just crazy!' Things didn't ease up when he spotted a ' massive queue' forming outside and wondered aloud: 'Do I have to queue in that if I have a reservation that's now, in five minutes? I'm so confused.' Fortunately, he was able to get inside without delay and finally ordered the £26 roast, which includes both beef and pork. But for Henry, the meal fell flat – particularly the meat. 'You were right about the beef, it's really dry,' he said to his dining companion off-camera. 'Let's try the pork… pork is also really dry,' he added. He then jabbed at one of his roast potatoes with a knife, apparently demonstrating its lack of crispiness. As if things couldn't get worse for Henry, the EastEnders theme tune began playing on a piano inside the pub. He summed up the experience with a cryptic caption on his TikTok: 'Jeremy Clarkson's pub was…interesting.' Pic: Jeremy Clarkson/Instagram Social media reactions were mixed. While some sympathised with Henry's critique, others thought he was overreacting. One user said: 'Henry, he opened a rural pub that serves British farm food, not a fancy restaurant for the rich.' Some pointed out that booking a table on Father's Day was bound to be chaotic: 'You booked on Father's Day, did you expect it would be dead? Work in hospitality for a bit, and then you'd actually be in the real world.' Critics also poked fun at Henry's dramatic narration of the walk from the car park to the pub. After someone labelled him a 'male Karen', he posted a follow-up video clarifying that the pub's main car park is 'reserved for people with blue badges', which is why he was directed to the overflow field.
