American man tries Full English breakfast for the first time and says one item'left him gagging'
An American man living in the UK has left Britons furious after he delivered his scathing review of a full English breakfast. Kjordy, who lives in London, has spent the last four years acclimatising to British culture, including picking up English slang and sampling some of the nation's delicacies. For his most recent gastronomical adventure, the TikToker - who describes himself as a 'mere Yank amongst Brits' - took a stab at recreating and reviewing a full English breakfast. 'About a month ago, I attempted beans on toast, and safe to say, well it could have been better,' he said in the TikTok. 'And now, I'm on a quest to perfect the next British cuisine. And after a little consultation with the most British person I know, it's time for a full English breakfast.' The influencer explained he was going to recreate the classic combination of bacon, sausage, eggs, roasted tomato, hash browns, toast, Heinz beans, and 'against my will', black pudding. His final verdict on the meal - a measly 6.5 on 10 - left many on home turf enraged as they called Kjordy out for missing staple ingredients and even leaving some parts of the food 'raw'. During his recent venture into learning more about British food, the TikToker, a self-described 'mere Yank amongst Brits', had a stab at recreating and reviewing a full-English breakfast (pictured) In the video, Kjordy bakes a pair of hash browns before cracking eggs into an oily pan. He then cooks Taste the Difference caramalised onion sausages from Sainsbury's. Next, he fried two rashers of bacon, toasted white bread, and seared tomatoes in a pan. Plating up the breakfast, Kjordy noted 'this is a lot of damn food' before tucking in. Sampling a mouthful of each of the meal's components, a pensive Kjordy nodded approvingly before delivering his review of the meal 'I see why this is so popular,' he said. 'The egg with the beans, the sausage, very heavy but very savoury.' There was, however, one ingredient Kjordy couldn't stomach - as he was immediately put off by the black pudding. Rallying himself to try the blood-based delicacy, the TikToker directed the wheel of meat towards his mouth, tearing off a nibble before taking a full bite. But it clearly wasn't love at first bite, as he appeared to gag at the taste and immediately spat out the meat morsel. 'F**k no,' he exclaimed before dashing to the sink to swill his mouth with water. There was also one thing missing according to the creator, who complained the dish was lacking 'something sweet' in a nod to his Yankee roots. 'The one thing it is missing [is] something sweet,' he said. 'There's no better combo than sweet and savoury, so having a little syrupy pancake with a bacon is... mm.' 'My final review, it's really, really good. 'I don't know how I feel about the beans and tomato with it,' he said before going on to award a fraction above average score of six and a half out of ten. Several British viewers bristled with rage, with dozens flooding the comment section with criticism. 'Black pudding isn't even that bad,' one furious commenter wrote, with another remarking that it 'needed cooking a lot more'. Many suggested that the black pudding was 'raw' and needed longer in the frying pan. One person noted: 'Black pudding is just a lovely sausage! 'Slice, fry and eat…..if you didn't know it had blood you might have found it easier to eat. 'I think the 'blood' aspect has you hating it before it reached your taste buds.' 'The one British thing I will defend is a full English,' another said. Others pointed to things Kjordy missed, with several calling for mushrooms, and others recommending he 'butter the toast' and add a squirt of HP brown sauce 'for sweetness'. 'Ketchup or HP sauce adds something sweet. I like tinned tomatoes with mine as the acidicness of the tomatoes helps contrast the grease of everything else,' they commented. One well-meaning Brit suggested the sweetness could be made up for with a 'a strong sweet cup of tea'.

New Love Island star Sophie Lee previously dated ex-Islander as she signs up for ITV2 dating show
NEW Love Island star Sophie Lee has a surprising connection to the villa - she previously dated Ouzy See. The Sun exclusively revealed today former fire breather Sophie, 29, had signed up for the ITV2 dating show. 6 6 But her upcoming appearance won't be her first brush with fame. Sophie was previously in a relationship with Scottish hunk Ouzy, 30, who appeared on the show's tenth series. Speaking exclusively to The Sun while attending the 2023 Beauty Awards together, Ouzy said at the time: "We're in the early stages, I'm here supporting Sophie tonight as she's been nominated." Asked if things were going well between them, Ouzy beamed: "It's going really well," prompting Sophie to chime in: "He's really kind, that's my favourite thing about him." Ouzy gushed: "She's inspirational," and added: "We've been dating for a few months." When asked if they were in love, the couple giggled and replied: "We'll see." They said they had enjoyed a string of dates and were getting to know each other in social settings on nights out. Sophie celebrated winning Influencer of the Year at the bash. The influencer suffered horror burns when an air-con unit blew flames back in her face seven years ago. The dancer, from Manchester, was just 22 when the freak accident on stage in Chicago left her fighting for her life. Love Island's New Star Fire Breather Sophie Lee's Shocking Injury Story Stunning Sophie has since become a model and influencer, works with Katie Piper's foundation and has even written a book on her experience. A source said of her Love Island signing: 'Sophie is a gorgeous girl and a powerhouse of a woman who has overcome everything life has thrown at her. 'Just like Tasha Ghouri's amazing time in the villa where she raised awareness for the hearing impaired, Love Island bosses are thrilled to give Sophie the same platform to discuss her accident and how she's become comfortable in her skin since. 'Love Island has always tried to be about more than just looks and Sophie is a classic example of an Islander with real substance. 'She's in the mix for this year's cast, with execs deciding soon if she will be in the original line-up or a bombshell.' ITV this week announced Love Island would launch on June 9 but has not yet confirmed its cast. The show's 12 series have now been streamed 2 BILLION times on ITVX. Speaking to The Sun about the horror accident back in 2019, Sophie told how her act went disastrously wrong. The air-con in the venue was too powerful and blasted a fireball back at her, causing her face and chest to 'go up in flames'. Sophie told our Fabulous Magazine: 'The air-con was too strong so when I blew the fire out it blew back to me. It set me on fire. I just remember being in so much pain, I blacked out for a little bit. It's crazy. 'It happened in front of everyone and I had to get on with it as professionally and quickly as I could. As soon as I got into the ambulance, I was in bits." Sophie spent a month in intensive care in America by herself, while receiving treatment for the burns which saw her drift in and out of consciousness as life-saving machines helped her breathe. She added: 'That was a scary, scary time. I couldn't breathe by yourself, I couldn't eat, I couldn't really see, it was scary. I was pretty out of it but on day two I looked in the mirror and just cried.' Sophie's scars turned into a facial deformity, with a tumour growing on the side of her face. Since leaving hospital, Sophie has become a successful beauty influencer even winning the Beauty Awards Influencer of the Year 2023. She has also modelled for countless campaigns and fashion companies over the past few years. And she has published a book called In My Skin. Speaking since then, she said: 'Life since the accident is definitely something I didn't expect because I just see myself as someone who went through something and thought my story could help others. 'My aim was never to get awards or receive that type of attention. With the platform I have now, I feel like I have not only a responsibility to others but a responsibility to myself to be a better person everyday and to always be evolving. 'If people were to take a message from my story I'd say that beauty is always skin deep and your life is perfect just as it is. 'You just need to be yourself and accepting of life's roller coaster so love your perfectly imperfect life.' Love Island have also lined up stunning model Shakira Khan for the new series. Shakira's Instagram page is filled with gorgeous travel snaps from Haiti, Dubai and New York - and she's not afraid of a bikini showcase too. The beauty joins hunky Aaron Buckett in the mix for this summer's cast. Among them, according to MailOnline, is Lucy Quinn, a 20-year-old make-up artist from Liverpool who is set to enter as a bombshell during the show's run. 6 6 6 6

Social media is the modern-day travel agent
Travelers are using social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram to plan their trips, ditching the traditional travel agent. The big picture: The travel agent industry expects to experience slow demand this year as travelers are booking independently with the help of online platforms, including social media. By the numbers: Hashtags like #TravelTikTok (13.3M posts) and #TikTokTravel (16.9M posts) feature millions of users showing viewers how, when and where to travel. TikTok saw a 410% increase in travel content views from 2021 to 2024, with 32% of users saying they booked stays discovered on the app, according to an Influencer marketing study. 35% of global travelers say they've turned to social media for ideas, with this number jumping to 53% for Gen Z alone, per the study. Between the lines: TikTok is currently expanding its local services business to the U.S., hiring people who will focus on partnering with creators in the lifestyle and travel spaces, Axios' Sara Fischer reports. 💭 My thought bubble: Planning a fall girls' trip to Chicago has never been easier. Treating TikTok, Instagram and Reddit as search engines helped me create an itinerary. Typing "places to go in..." in the search bars of TikTok and Instagram will bring you to thousands of videos with recommendations. On TikTok's mobile app, there are subheadings to click for a more specific search, like "birthday," "family" or "free." The comment sections of TikTok videos and Reddit threads are goldmines for travel hacks. Locals from the cities you want to visit often drop tips and tricks there. Getting insight from travel bloggers on YouTube and Pinterest can also help create a dream itinerary. Yes, but: Ditching a travel agent and creating an itinerary on your own might be more time-consuming.
