Primark is selling a £3.50 beauty item that could help people struggling with chafing. The retailer, which is known for selling affordable skincare and makeup, has many products available for under £5.

For people who experience chafing, Primark’s Anti-Chafe Body Balm may be worth considering. Available in-store, the beauty buy was recommended by a skincare specialist. Dr Nora Jaafar, a London-based dermatologist who has been practising with the NHS for 10 years and focuses on aesthetics and medical dermatology, recommended the product on social media.

Posting on TikTok under the username @dr.nora.uk, Dr Nora highlighted the balm. She told viewers: “For my runners out there, I know there’s loads of you. If you’re finding you’re running and getting all that chafing, you’re getting all that friction and red bumps.

“For £3.50, you can get this anti-chafing cream in Primark, but the reason I like it is because the vitamin E is an antioxidant and it’s repairing for your skin barrier, and the grapeseed oil is gonna provide a bit of slip when you run.

“So I don’t run, but maybe I’ll buy it for some of you.” The post proved to be popular with viewers, gaining over 1k likes.

Healthline states: “Chafing is a common skin problem caused by any combination of friction, moisture, and irritating fabric. Prolonged rubbing on the skin makes your skin sting or burn, and you develop a mild, red rash. In severe cases, chafing will include swelling, bleeding, or crusting.

“You’re more likely to develop chafing on body parts that rub against each other or your clothing. Chafing commonly occurs on the thighs and buttocks. The nipples, groin, feet, and armpits can also chafe.”

Treatments for chafing include avoiding the cause of the problem, getting fresh air, or applying a soothing balm. In some cases, a doctor may also prescribe a topical steroid. While chafing usually heals within a few days, it’s always a good idea to see a GP for any health concerns.

If you do opt to purchase a soothing balm or lotion, Healthline advises looking for fragrance-free products. You may wish to look for products containing vitamin E, which helps to maintain healthy skin.

According to Nivea, vitamin E is commonly found in skincare products. The brand’s website states: “Vitamin E, scientifically known as tocopherol, is a naturally occurring nutrient that plays a key role in maintaining healthy skin. Found in foods such as nuts, seeds, and leafy greens, Vitamin E is recognised for its antioxidant properties.

Caroline, of Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, told how she’d first met Holly shortly before last year’s Paris Olympics. During this meeting, her future daughter-in-law reassured her when she expressed fears about Adam, 30, pulling away from the Peaty clan, as he became increasingly immersed in the glamorous world of the Ramsays.

Then, in September 2024, Adam and Holly announced they were engaged, and proud mum Caroline couldn’t have been happier to learn that his son had found his “soulmate”. However, cracks started to emerge at the engagement party, to which she claimed that wider family members of the Peaty family weren’t invited.

Making her feelings known, Caroline messaged Holly directly, telling Mail Online: “I told her, ‘you know how important family is to you, as it is to me. My sisters are not coming to the party, they have been there all through Adam’s life…'”

Although Caroline says she did her best to remain polite and diplomatic with this sensitive message, Adam apparently wasn’t best pleased. Then, after speeches were given at the engagement party, Caroline approached Gordon in a tense conversation, assuring him, “There was nothing horrible in those messages”.

Caroline claimed, “He’s in Gordon’s clutches. I can’t help but feel like they are pulling him away from me. Their family is very insular.”

Although Adam’s father, Mark, was absent from the Budapest stag do, future father-in-law Gordon was very much a part of the boys’ weekend, and it’s understood the TV chef won’t “take any nonsense” from the Peaty family. According to a previous report by the Mail Online, an insider has revealed he will be engaging his “top PR machine” to ensure that nothing will “ruin his beloved daughter’s wedding”.

She is set to star alongside other famous faces such as Sally Phillips and Charlotte Hope. The former Corrie star will be playing one of the three lead parts.

The series sees Lily Petal, who is played by Sally, move to a small village and uncover secrets that are being kept by multiple residents.

Olivia Bernstone has taken over the role of Amber in The Archers as a result of Charlotte leaving. A spokesperson for the show told Metro: “After a brilliant performance as Amber, Charlotte Jordan is taking time to pursue other projects and so we are delighted to be welcoming Olivia Bernstone to the cast, who will play the role of Amber going forward.”

Charlotte left her role of Daisy Midgeley in Coronation Street in May of this year. Daisy, who is Jenny Connor’s stepdaughter, made her Weatherfield entrance in 2020 and has been at the centre of many drama-filled storylines.

Sharing a video after her last episode aired, Charlotte posted a sweet message for all of her friends and followers. She said: “Hello – I wanted to pop on and say thank you for all of the love you’ve shown Daisy over the last four and a half years.

“It’s been wonderful, it’s been an honour to be a little piece of the Corrie history and I will miss this place very, very much. Goodbye for now.”

She explained that she cried “on and off for about four hours straight” before filming her last scene on the show. She said that she found it difficult to cry in the last scene with Rob Mallard due to being all cried out.

Charlotte added: “The Corrie gang made it so special for me,” Charlotte shared. “The canteen made me my favourite lunch – which made me cry. The art department drew me a beautiful card – which made me cry.

“I would look over to Channique [Sterling-Brown] or Julia [Goulding] or Sal [Sally Ann Matthews] during our last lunch break and see them crying – which made me cry. I think I was medically dehydrated by the end of the day.”

Charlotte announced back in January that she would be leaving the soap before then leaving the following May. She made sure to tell bosses the previous year that she wouldn’t be renewing her contract so they had time to write an exciting exit storyline.
