'Denise Welch made me buy this £49 M&S jacket that's perfect for summer layering'
The Loose Women panellist is best known for her acting and presenting roles, but one of her recent outfits cemented her name on the list of daytime TV fashion icons If you'd asked me last month to name my daytime fashion inspirations, I'd likely have reeled off the usual suspects - Frankie Bridge, Cat Deeley or Rochelle Humes. Denise Welch probably wouldn't have been the first name that comes to mind, but appearing on a June episode of Loose Women, the actress was seen sporting a piece that I instantly had to track down. The 67-year-old donned the Pure Cotton Striped Tie Front Shacket from M&S's Per Una collection, which happens to be under £50. When I checked online for stock, it had completely sold out, but luckily I managed to get my hands on it in store. Lucky for shoppers, it's since been restocked and is available in most sizes. Now, I really dislike the word shacket. It gives me the same visceral reaction others get to words like 'moist'. However, while the word once triggered fashion fatigue, it really is the best way to describe this blouse-come-layering-piece. Priced at £49.50, the lightweight jacket is made from 100% cotton in an oversized, boxy fit. It's lightweight enough to be worn alone as a blouse, but heavy enough to wear as a jacket without it being flimsy. It boasts long sleeves and a collared V-neckline, complete with three tie front closures for an on-trend look. This design detail is one that won't be going out of style anytime soon, either, which means shoppers can wear it year-round. However, not everyone has been a fan of the trend. On the M&S jacket, one shopper commented: 'Who needs such fussy ties to close this top? This season seems full of them.' That said, others have left five star reviews, complimenting the shacket's 'good quality' and 'comfortable' feel. One wrote: 'The item was made of good quality fabric with an unusual closure but it was large. I usually take 18/20 and even the 16 was loose.' Another said: 'Great quality and design, comfortable to wear was a little unsure as shacket as have purchased one before and not altogether sold on these as really was not one thing or another but I would say this is a heavy denim shirt and a good spring top very intend with the tie front.' If the M&S tie-front shacket has whet your appetite for a new denim staple, but isn't quite for you, Boden's Denim Frill Collar Jacket costs £119 and is channeling Parisian vibes. The feminine ruffles are a dreamy touch that set it apart from other denim pieces on the high street. Alternatively, this ASOS DESIGN denim rugby top is on sale from £36 to £23.50. It has that same revere collar silhouette, but is ideal for wearing solo, accessorised with a satin neck tie. As for the M&S jacket, I paired it with the matching pinstripe jeans, however, I was a little bit let down by them. The quality and cut were spot on, but they appear to be a touch lighter than the top, and while most people wouldn't notice, it does bug me a little bit. It doesn't matter when wearing them as separates, but when opting for the full co-ord look, it would have been better if they were exactly the same shade. Another slight downside about the top is that the ties do occasionally need tightening throughout the day, but that's a minor inconvenience and wouldn't stop me from wearing it - especially considering how many compliments it's earned me. So while Denise Welch being a style icon may not have been on my 2025 bingo card, I must give credit where it's due because I haven't been able to stop wearing this jacket since I bought it. It's currently available in sizes 8-22 online, though some additional sizes could be found in store. It is roomy, so if you enjoy an oversized fit, I'd go for your usual size, but for a snugger silhouette, many will be able to afford sizing down.

Frankie Bridge swears by this Korean ‘sensitive skin lifesaver' balm that gives ‘glass skin'
If you're looking to get glowing, 'glass skin', Frankie Bridge has just shared her skincare 'lifesaver', and it hails from a viral Korean skincare brand 'Glass skin' is a trending buzzword that's been cropping up time and time again, with hundreds of brands jumping in on the trend. It describes skin that's so healthy-looking and hydrated, it almost looks translucent, glowy and glass-like. It's not just about piling on different products and hoping for the best, but instead building up your skin's moisture barrier so you get that glow-from-within effect. That's where AESTURA Atobarrier365 Cream with Ceramide, priced at £25.99, comes in. Loved by so many, including Frankie Bridge, who calls it a 'sensitive skin lifesaver', this K-Beauty balm is the secret to achieving 'glass skin'. If you're skin has been feeling dry, sensitive and in need of a little TLC, this barrier cream might be just what it needs. Trusted by millions in Korea and with one selling every 20 seconds, the moisturising formula promises up to 120 hours of hydration for the skin. It's infused with many skin-loving ingredients, but the secret is that it is packed full of ceramides. What exactly are ceramides? They're a crucial part of the skin's lipid barrier that helps to retain moisture, protect against external pollutants and keep any irritation out. That's what makes this AESTURA cream so perfect for sensitive skin. The cream is also free from any fragrance, has been allergy-tested and is gentle enough for the whole family to have also backed Frankie's praise up with one happy shopper writing: "The hydration is next-level - rich without being greasy, and it absorbs beautifully. What really impressed me, though, is how calming and soothing it is. My skin feels balanced, soft, and genuinely healthier after using it." While a second claimed it's: "The HOLY GRAIL for dry and sensitive skin". However, if you've got oilier skin this might be too much moisture, one shopper said: "After using it on my face, I felt like it was super moisturising, but for my skin type (combo leaning towards oily and sensitive), it felt like a bit too much. I would continue on with my day and still feel like there was a layer of moisturiser on my skin." If you're looking to achieve 'glass skin' without a using a product so thick, it may be worth trying out a milky toner. My personal favourites include BYOMA's Hydrating Milky Toner, Curel's Moisture Facial Milk and Beauty of Joseon's Glow Replenishing Rice Milk.

Frankie Bridge's ‘sensational' pinstripe co-ord nails summer officewear
Frankie Bridge just gave the butter yellow an update with her 'sensational' lime green waistcoat and trouser set, and it's still available to shop if you know where to look Few people know how to nail the art of being both on trend and timeless at the same time quite like Frankie Bridge does. The presenter is known for her eternally chic outfits, which strike just the right balance of hitting a trend whilst still being wearable for years to come, and her latest co-ord is no exception. Frankie shared a snap of herself wearing Mango's Striped Straight Suit Trousers (£45.99) and the matching Buttons Striped Top (£35.99) on Instagram, and fans immediately went wild for it. 'So many sensational outfits, my style icon' wrote one, whilst another said: 'Absolutely love this outfit!' Currently the trousers are still available in all sizes from a six to a 14, however the stripe top is now out of stock on the Mango website. Don't despair, though, because our fashion sleuthing skills have tracked it down at Very, where it's still available in sizes small, medium and large. The pinstripe co-ord is the perfect choice for summer, and you can wear it absolutely anywhere from a summer wedding to the office to brunch. A simple accessory swap will take it from day to night, and its fitted, tailored silhouette gives it an instantly sophisticated, smart look. Its linen blend material also keeps it breathable and comfortable in the summer heat, but as it's not pure linen you won't need to worry as much about creasing and crumpling. We're also a big fan of the lime green shade, which has a punchier, bolder impact than the butter yellow trend, and is more universally flattering on all skin tones. The Striped Straight Suit Trousers have a relaxed, wide leg fit with tailored darts around the waist, whilst the waistcoat-style Buttons Striped Top has an adjustable tie at the back to cinch in the waist for a flattering fit. The top also flares out over the hips, helping accentuate your figure and creating an hourglass silhouette. We also spotted some other great alternatives on the high street, with Roman's Lime Dusk Waist Coat (£32) and Elasticated Waist Wide Leg Trouser (£35) offering a similar silhouette with a slightly more relaxed, causal fit. For a slightly more elegant look, ASOS' Premium Ponte Halter Neck Top (£26) and the matching Premium Ponte Barrel Leg Trouser (£30) have a tailored design that's perfect for evenings out. However if you want to copy Frankie's 'sensational' co-ord, you can bag the Striped Straight Suit Trousers directly from Mango, and the Buttons Striped Top at Very now.

48p-a-day supplement 'changed my life' by cutting fatigue and stopping 'bloating'
The award-winning Gut Works supplement is currently on offer for 50% off, and customers said they have seen improvement in digestion and overall gut health wellness Gut health has become a hot topic in recent years for those seeking to enhance their overall wellness. It influences bodily functions and overall well-being, including digestion, immune response, and mental health. However, maintaining it through diet alone can be challenging for many, leading some to consider supplements for additional support. One such product is Gut Works, a daily supplement by Dr Vegan, designed to combat bloating, irregular bowel movements, and fatigue. The supplement boasts a potent formula and costs less than 50p per day. This affordable price is currently available as customers can save 50% on their first order with the brand using a special code. Typically priced at £28.99, applying the code GUT50 at checkout reduces the cost to £14.50, equating to just 48p per day. The code is exclusively for new customers and, while it cannot be combined with other discounts, it does offer substantial savings off the RRP, reported the Mirror. Dr Vegan Gut Works Supplements From £14.50 Dr Vegan Buy Now on Dr Vegan Product Description This award-winning supplement blends Psyllium Husk with six scientifically researched strains of live cultures, also known as 'probiotics', and prebiotics. With 50 billion CFU (colony forming units) packed into a single daily capsule, the supplement provides a significant bacterial boost to the digestive system. Maintaining a healthy gut and bowels is crucial for daily comfort and tackling IBS symptoms such as bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, excessive wind and gas, fatigue, reflux, poor sleep, among others. Gut Works offers a solution in the form of a small, daily delayed-release capsule designed to rebalance and repopulate the gut microbiome with active bacteria. While other supplement brands provide various formulations and bacterial strains, focusing more on specific symptoms and potentially at a higher cost, some individuals find swallowing capsules off-putting. For those seeking a liquid alternative, celebrities like Frankie Bridge and Georgia Toffolo have endorsed Symprove. Retailing at £22.99 for 500ml, it's available in an array of flavours including Pineapple or Strawberry and Raspberry. LookFantastic has slashed the price of MyProtein's Gut Gummies by 48%, bringing them down to £16.99.

Customers have reported a variety of benefits, from alleviated IBS symptoms and bloating to weight loss and enhanced mood. One satisfied customer, Joanne, shared: "IBS symptoms and life changed forever. I was advised by my gastroenterologist to look at this kind of product and he said if I took it every day without fail my symptoms would improve. I saw this product and decided to give it a go. He was right. I could not visit friends for dinner, had trouble on holiday and my social life was controlled by my stomach... not any more. Life changing." Conal chimed in: "Excellent product. My stomach feels less bloated and with a change of eating habits, I have started to lose weight. I will continue to take Gut Works from now on." Sheila also reported weight loss, stating: "I'm very impressed. My bloating has stopped/disappeared and I've lost 4lb." "Gut works is quite simply magic," wrote another thrilled user. "I had been suffering with IBS and tummy issues for years. Gut works has really changed my life. I didn't think anything could help me but Gut Works has. Thank you Dr Vegan." However, some users found the product less effective. It's crucial to bear in mind that gut health varies from person to person, and what proves miraculous for one might not yield the same results for another. One user expressed: "Didn't work for me. Easy tablet to swallow though and I liked that it was once a day. And, I've just received a lovely note from the company and they have refunded me." Another added: "Used this for 30 days. I'm not sure I noticed much change in my digestion or bloating. I was disappointed." However, the majority of customers have expressed their satisfaction. Another glowing five-star review stated: "Since taking Gut Works my tummy is so much better. Flatter and my trousers fit. I really haven't changed my diet, so it's all down to gut works." Customers can give the Gut Works supplements a go here and utilise the code GUT50 for a 50% discount on their initial order with Dr Vegan.

Supplement that costs pennies per day leaves tummy 'less bloated' and old trousers fit
In recent years, gut health has become somewhat of a buzzword for those seeking to enhance their overall wellbeing. Gut health influences a broad range of bodily functions and overall well-being, including digestion, immune function and mental health, but managing it can be challenging through diet alone and that's where complements come in. One product aiming to help users combat bloating, irregular bowel movements and fatigue is Gut Works, a daily supplement by Dr Vegan that boasts a high-strength formula. And it costs less than 50p per day. The low cost is due to the current offer where shoppers can save 50% off their first order with the brand using a special code. Typically priced at £28.99, using the code GUT50 at the checkout reduces the price to £14.50, which equates to 48p a day.
