Primark shoppers were urged to “run” to stores to get their hands on the popular midi satin dress

Primark shoppers are loving a “classy” £20 dress they’ve seen go viral on TikTok. The retailer is well known for it’s affordable and on-trend clothing – and new favourite may have just dropped.

Fashion influencer Perrie Sian (@perriesian) took to TikTok to share her latest haul from the high street giant, sharing a range of different items styled at home. The post was captioned: “Final part of my Primark try on haul!!! So so impressed.”

The clip showcased a range of Primark items, including the Paula Echevarría Satin Bandeau Dress. The dress proved hugely popular not only with Perrie but with many shoppers watching the video too.

In the clip, Perrie said: “The last and final part of a three part series, a trilogy of one of the best Primark hauls I’ve ever done. Run, don’t walk.”

Introducing the Paula Echevarría Satin Bandeau Dress Perrie added: “Outfit number one. I wasn’t…I wasn’t expecting much from this because it’s just a satin strapless dress. Well, I am mistaken.

“Slap on the wrist for me. Don’t do that again, because this is phenomenal. The simplicity of it is so nice. Simple, wearable outfits at a great price. I think this was £18 [the dress is listed online for £20]. Insane.

“I love it. I don’t even mind that it finishes just at my ankle. I actually think it’s really classy. This is gorgeous. And again, Primark. Imagine this in Bottega for the wedding guest. Hello. So nice.”

Perrie also pointed out that the dress features an extra layer of elasticated fabric around the top to ensure it stays up. She added: “I just think this looks so classy. Like from Primark? You would not think this was from Primark.

“You wouldn’t. Don’t lie to me. I can hear you…If I said, oh, this is a Zara haul. Unless you would have seen it in Primark before, you would be like, oh, that’s nice from Zara.”

The video racked up more than 231k views, 10.9k likes and hundreds of comments from excited fans. Among them, one person said: “Primark take all my money!!”

A second wrote: “Ran to Primark today … damage has been done.” A third added: “How has Primark not realised they need a PerrieXPrimark collection yet.”

A fourth shopper said: “Why does my Primark have nothing from your haul,” while a fifth commented: “everything was gorgeous on you Perrie.” Another wrote: “Zara did a similar black satin strapless dress 2 years ago which I wore for a wedding. Gorgeous style.”

A different shopper said: “I think you should do hauls and leave every guessing where the items are from because you’re right the black dress does not look like Primark.”

The praise continued, with one person saying: “You had me at outfit no.1…I GASPED.” A second wrote: “Wow wow wow that black dress is soooo classy on and I LOVE everything else that ur keeping. Go Primark.”

A third added: “Love outfit one! You look amazing in it. I need to get myself there.” Another wrote: “Love the black dress.”

Primark’s product description reads: “Embody elegance with this black satin dress from Paula Echevarría’s latest range. The sleek bandeau neckline creates a sophisticated silhouette, while the smooth satin fabric effortlessly glides with every move.

“Plus, it features a figure-flattering cut that falls to a chic length. Perfect for those special evenings out, pair it with strappy heels and statement earrings for a touch of glamour, or layer with a tailored blazer for a contemporary twist. The versatile black shade makes it a wardrobe hero for any occasion worth celebrating.”

Love Island stars Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury split last year, but rumours of their reunion have now been confirmed on a new episode of the influencer’s reality show, and Molly-Mae is even talking about her hopes for more children

A well-known celebrity psychic has given his verdict on the future of Molly-Mae and Tommy Fury’s family plans.

Molly-Mae Hague has confirmed she’s back with her ex-fiancé Tommy Fury after she opened up about their relationship on a new episode of her reality series, Molly-Mae: Behind It All.

In the new episodes Molly-Mae admits she wants more children with her boxer beau. The revelations come after her surprising decision to call off their engagement in August last year. The pair, who are parents to two-year-old Bambi, ignited reconciliation rumours just weeks after Molly-Mae announced their split on social media. The speculation was confirmed on New Year’s Eve when they were spotted sharing a kiss at a glitzy party.

To reignite their spark, Tommy and Molly-Mae recently took Bambi to Dubai for a family getaway, opting to leave the cameras at home. Reflecting on their time in Dubai during her Amazon series, Molly-Mae shared: “Dubai was picture perfect, like it was just the best trip ever. It literally just felt like everything I wanted it to be, and more.”

The 25-year-old said she still dreamed of living together with Tommy and their daughter again, and having more babies with him. “That’s all I’ve ever wanted for us. I don’t want to get too excited, but I’m getting glimmers of what I always wanted, which is my family. I know we have got something completely worth saving,” she explained.

Psychic Chris Riley, who has a number of celebrity clients from Gemma Collins to Jacqueline Jossa, is one of the most well-known psychics in the celebrity world. On Saturday, May 10 he sat down to catch up on Molly-Mae’s Amazon Prime series and has given his 637k Instagram followers his verdict on their future relationship.

While it isn’t an official reading Chris took to his Insagram stories and shared a snap of a huge TV screen featuring Molly-Mae with the the caption: “Watching the @mollymae doc… I rerally think they’re gonna have another baby”.

In a candid revelation about their future together in one of the new episodes, Molly-Mae expressed: “Things are looking so much better for us. I’m gonna start spending more time at Tommy’s house, keeping things slow and not rushing anything. But as always, I always say I don’t know what the future holds. I don’t think it’s gonna be a plain sailing future. I don’t. That’s just me being honest. I think we’re still gonna have bumps.

“The dream is still the same that, you know, we’ll get to a place one day when we will all be happy in that house together and have more children, hopefully, and just have a really nice, happy life together.”

The former EastEnders actor said he was ‘lost’ and ‘angry at the world’ after the Nobel Prize-winning playwright died in 2008. He expressed his guilt and how he was a ‘bit of a lost soul’ and ‘angry at the world’

Actor Danny Dyer has opened up about the profound impact the death of his mentor, acclaimed playwright Harold Pinter, had on him, describing it as a “spiral of madness”.

The Nobel Prize-winner cast the ex-EastEnders star, 47, in his production of ‘Celebration’ at the Almeida Theatre in London back in 2000. Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs, Dyer reminisced about staying over at Pinter’s home and absorbing literature from notable scribes like WH Auden and CS Lewis.

In 2001, ‘Celebration’ made its way to New York’s Lincoln Centre, but Dyer faced an onstage debacle when he blanked on his lines and succumbed to an “anxiety attack” following a night of drugs and revelry. Dyer expressed remorse for disappointing Pinter but shared how the playwright offered comfort, wrapping his arm around him to ease his distress.

Looking back on losing touch with Pinter and learning of his passing in 2008, Dyer recounted his reaction, saying: “I hadn’t spoke to him in a while. I did go off the rails for many years, and I found out by looking on the front of a newspaper. Again, I’d been on a bender and I was coming home and I was going, I think I was going to buy cigarettes at the petrol garage, and I see it in the paper. ‘Pinter dead’. This really sent me on a spiral of madness, really.”

He spoke of his guilt, saying: “The guilt of not being around him anymore and just being lost, I was a bit of a lost soul, and again, angry at the world.”

In April, US publication Deadline reported that Dyer was developing an idea for a play about his relationship with Pinter, whom he referred to as his “mentor”. Dyer, who had his breakthrough in the 1999 film Human Traffic, also reflected on some of the documentaries he had made earlier in his career.

In the noughties the actor presented TV series Danny Dyer’s Real Football Factories and Danny Dyer’s Deadliest Men, the latter of which saw him interview gangsters and former terrorists

He said: “I’d made a few films and I just wasn’t getting paid any money, and I was desperate to get onto the property ladder. I was still living in a council estate at Custom House, living with my daughter (Dani) and (wife) Jo, and it’s like, well, I’m famous, but I’m still living on a council estate. And so then my house became a bit like Stonehenge, my little flat, and people would just stand outside waiting for me.”

He revealed there was a tipping point when an attempted burglary forced a move: “There was a moment where someone tried to burgle our house and I was like ‘we can’t live here no more’.”

The opportunity to do a documentary with a veteran footballer came as a financial windfall, as Dyer recalled, “So I got offered to do a documentary with a real football veteran and I couldn’t believe the money they was offering me, I thought, ‘Oh, wow'”.

Yet, despite the payday, he shared that the experience left much to be desired, saying, “Now I hated it, because I didn’t have a script, it was me on my own interviewing people, and interviewing dangerous people, by the way, but it got me on the property ladder.”

When quizzed on potential typecasting fears, he admitted he had no such luxury to worry: “I didn’t have the luxury. You know, it’s a bit uncouth, I can’t watch them back now, I cringe at them.”

Dyer concluded with pragmatic frankness, acknowledging the financial necessity behind his choices: “But, you know, I needed to earn money, and I needed to get a house, and I needed to do the right thing.”

Danny Dyer’s instalment of Desert Island Discs is set to broadcast at 10am on BBC Radio 4 and will also be accessible on BBC Sounds.
