GMB's Susanna Reid stuns in 'lovely' Next dress that's a 'must have for the season'
The TV host was spotted wearing this midi dress that is perfect for the upcoming wedding season. Susanna Reid often impresses us with her feminine and chic styles on Good Morning Britain. The good news is that many of her top choices can be picked up straight from the high street. This week, the TV presenter Love & Roses Cobalt Blue Pleated Ruffle Midi Dress that is available to buy from Next. The 54 year-old's stylist, Debbie Harper, recently shared in an Instagram story that she wore this midi-length frock that retails at £69 on yesterday's episode on Wednesday, June 4. According to the fashion retailer, it is the "must-have midi dress for the season", and we can't help but agree, as its fancier design will come in handy for all those wedding invites marked on the summer calendar. Susanna's cobalt blue version of this dress is available in a regular-fit design, with sizes ranging from a UK eight through to 20. So, fans can be rest assured that there is still quite a bit of stock left online. Love & Roses Cobalt Blue Pleated Ruffle Midi Dress £69 Next Buy here Product Description Shoppers can also check out the same dress in four different colours such as red, coral pink, a neutral animal print and a red floral pattern. They are all available in a regular design, with sizes from a UK eight to 22. This midi-length frock boasts a few standout features, mainly the "beautiful" ruffle detail along the chic V-neckline and waist. It also boasts a button-down front that opens into a front split, allowing extra movement when walking or dancing. Another star feature is the pleat detailing along the front of the dress and its floaty sleeves that finish with an elasticated cuff for a comfortable touch. Ideal for wearing to summer weddings and graduations, we'd advise wearing this Love & Roses dress to fancier functions. We think a pair of neutral coloured heels, alongside some muted accessories will let the classy design do all the talking. Fashion deal of the week In need of new trainers, but don't want to pay Skechers prices. Then these STQ Women's Slip-On Trainers are said to be "much better" than the famed brand. Even better, they are currently priced from just £30.99 on Amazon. With their slip-on style design and ultra-breathable mesh material, these trainers are said to be a fuss-free option for anyone who spends long periods of time on their feet, alongside anyone who suffers from foot pain issues such as plantar fasciitis. The flexible knitted material features an elastic cuff, making them easy to pop on and take off, while the wide fit fabric has been designed to make it feel like you are wearing nothing on your feet. Crafted with over 1,000 ventilation holes, they ensure that feet don't get to sweaty during wear, while the memory foam insole provides good arch support, making it feel "like walking on air". Available to buy in sizes three through to eight, shoppers can select from eight colours including black, grey and pink. However, it's worth noting that the £30.99 price-tag is available on the black colourway. With the STQ Trainers posing the cheapest price-tag, shoppers might be happy to hear that they have earned a 4.4 rating based on over 5,000 Amazon reviews that suggest they are "light as a feather" and "really comfortable". One delighted shopper said: "Super lightweight, comfortable and a fab colour pink. Much better all round than the Skechers I bought at four times the price! Your feet will love these." For shopper who aren't too keen on wearing sleeves, there is this Cream Floral Print Chiffon V-Neck Midi Dress from high street retailer Roman for £65. Meanwhile, New Look shoppers can save 40 percent on a very similar style to Susanna's with this Gini London Navy Pleated Hanky Hem Midi Dress that is now £31.20, down from £52.

Despite having no longer low-rated reviews, one thing that we would advise is that it is out of stock for petite shoppers. This means that the regular-fit may not be suitable for all heights, so it's always worth trying on if it can be found in store before purchasing.

Four savvy ways to make use of lemons around the house
WHEN life gives you lemons, don't just make lemonade. The versatile citrus fruit is the key to many household task hacks. 7 We have four savvy ways to make use of lemons around the house Credit: Getty From cleaning your kitchen to getting insects to buzz off, a bowl of lemons could benefit every home. SIMPLY THE ZEST: Citric acid in lemons is antibacterial and antiseptic, so has lots of uses around the house. If your chopping board needs a refresh, sprinkle it with salt and scrub the surface with half a lemon to give it a new lease of life. You can also put half a lemon in a bowl of water then pop it in the microwave on high. Once the water heats up, which will only take a few seconds, the citrusy steam will loosen the dirt inside the appliance, making it easier to clean. COLD COMFORT: It is cheaper to buy lemons by the bag but that may mean that some of the fruit gets wasted. Instead of letting them get overripe then throwing them away, cut any you won't use in time into slices and freeze flat, before bagging them up for whenever you need them. You can even put small slices into ice cube trays then top up with water. The lemony cubes can go straight in a drink. PEST OF THE REST: Lemons' strong citrusy smell is great for deterring ants, flies and other pests. Mix one part lemon juice to three parts water and squirt it around doors and on windowsills to make ants do a U-turn. Mrs Hinch shares her top tips for the big spring clean – from vacuuming your mattress to washing oven trays in the bath To make flies buzz off, cut a lemon in half and stud the flesh with whole cloves. SQUEEZY START: A lemon drink to start the day is said to aid digestion and boost immunity and hydration. To make one, mix the juice of half a lemon with a teaspoon of honey then add just boiled water. You can also add lemon juice to fresh grated ginger and turmeric. Mix and freeze in ice cube trays. Pop a cube out and stir into boiling water for a speedy goodness-packed drink. Sieve if you don't like the bits. All prices on page correct at time of going to press.
