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.

Heartbroken Caroline Peaty has spoken out about her despair over the family rift, which has seen her uninvited to son Adam Peaty’s wedding. And the devastated mother-of-the-groom made her feelings known at the engagement party, in a tense chat with her famous future in-law, Gordon Ramsay.
Caroline, 59, was initially overjoyed to learn that Olympian Adam was engaged to Holly Ramsay, the influencer daughter of the TV chef. But things soon took an unpleasant turn after the former nursery manager was allegedly left out of Holly’s chic Soho Farmhouse hen do.
Caroline’s protective sister, Louise Williams, proceeded to address 25-year-old Holly in a very public social media post, declaring, ‘You have inflicted a hurt on my sister that will take a very long time to heal if ever.” Matters have since escalated from there, and Caroline, who dedicated herself to supporting her son’s swimming career, says she will no longer be welcome at Adam’s wedding at Bath Abbey next month.

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”.
In the same interview, Caroline expressed concerns over how influential the Ramsays are in comparison to the working-class Peatys, with ordinary boy done good Adam now navigating a very different social sphere. 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.

If there’s one person who can take a simple hair accessory and turn it into the most-wanted item of the season, it’s Princess Kate. Just as party season styling begins to creep into everyone’s thoughts, the Princess of Wales is setting the tone for elegant, achievable glamour, and she’s doing it with a velvet bow from the high street.
Wearing her tumbling tresses in a soft half-up style, Kate fastened back the front sections of her hair with a deep burgundy velvet bow that made the whole hairstyle look straight out of a glossy magazine, festive and, unsurprisingly, incredibly expensive. Except it wasn’t.
The bow in question comes from Jigsaw, a brand well within reach, and it’s the perfect example of how Kate adds elegant detailing to even the simplest outfit formula. Though it’s thought Kate is wearing an older version of this Jigsaw bow, which sold out fast, this new one is the updated offering for 2025. She paired the £25 buy with a matching burgundy coat, keeping everything tonal and autumn-appropriate, but the bow did most of the heavy lifting.

Velvet always brings a touch of luxury, and when you place it against glossy hair, it adds that subtle, plush finish you normally only see in campaign shoots or Christmas adverts. It also solves one of the biggest seasonal dilemmas: how to make hair look ‘done’ without booking an actual salon appointment.
A velvet bow is one of the easiest shortcuts to great party hair. Clip it into a half-up style like Kate, anchor it at the base of a ponytail, or tie it around a low bun, and it instantly transforms even day-three hair into something chic enough for dinner, drinks or office parties.

Kate has long been praised for her glossy blow-drys, but this moment shows how she uses accessories to switch things up without losing her signature style. A bow feels feminine but not in a twee way, and it’s definitely timeless enough to rewear long after Christmas decorations come down.
As Angry Ginge heads into the I’m A Celeb jungle, he’s already arrived with a chaotic backstory – from f1 trouble to football drama, here’s a look back at the moment you may have missed.

Before the jungle, Angry Ginge has already caused chaos – here’s how(Image: angryginge13/Youtube)
Before stepping into the Australian jungle for his debut on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Here! Angry Ginge was already a popular Twitch streamer, known for chaotic moments and crazy antics. His mischievous acts would often get him into a spot of trouble, long before causing a stir about campfires with rapper Aitch and personality Jack Osbourne.
The 23-year-old, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, built a loyal following with his loud, unfiltered streams, but heading into the jungle means a whole new audience will be seeing him outside of his internet persona for the very first time.
For those who are newly acquainted with Angry Ginge, here’s a look back to some of his wildest moments before the jungle
F1 arrest

Earlier this year, Angry Ginge got himself in trouble at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone while hanging out with fellow creators Charlie Clark known as Chazza and Sam Ham. During practice day, Chazza attempted to squeeze inside the cockpit of a formula one car on display – which as you can imagine, escalated quickly.
All three were arrested by Northamptonshire Police on suspicion of causing £30,000 of criminal damage but were later released without charge.
Angry Ginge spent the night in a cell and later said he was “genuinely traumatised” by the experience. The trio were also banned from attending the rest of the race weekend.
At the time, a Northamptonshire Police spokesperson said: “On Friday, July 4, Northamptonshire Police received a report that a classic Formula 1 car on display at Silverstone Circuit during the British Grand Prix event had sustained several thousands of pounds worth of damage, which was alleged to have been caused by someone accessing the display stand and climbing into the vehicle.
“Officers carried out initial inquiries, and suspects were identified. Three men, aged 23, 25 and 27, were arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage to a vehicle and taken into police custody.
“Following a thorough investigation into the circumstances of the incident, all three men were released with no further action.”
Angry Ginge addressed the incident on a live stream, saying: “For sitting in a car, they got us, you don’t do that at F1. They locked us up for watching somebody else sitting in a car – they locked SamHam up for watching somebody else sit in a car. They locked Chazza up for sitting in a car, criminal damage, they tried to say. 30 grand, they tried to say…”
Tough tackles at Soccer Aid
Angry Ginge made a name for himself during this year’s Soccer Aid match, lining up for England as centre-back against a stacked Rest of the World team.
In the final minutes, he launched into a tough tackle on Argentinian legend Carlos Tevez leaving Angry Ginge with a gash down his leg and sparking sharp words between the pair.
After the match he posted: “Cheers Tevez, t***,” before later winding the ex-United star up on stream, singing a twist on Zombie with, “In your head, in your head, Tevez, Tevez…”
But he also admitted Tevez actually had the last laugh, adding: “I will be honest, he did score four.”
Manchester United celebration blunder
Another viral moment came when Angry Ginge couldn’t resist celebrating Manchester United’s last-minute equaliser against Spurs, but this was right next to injured Tottenham midfielder James Maddison.
As the goal went in, Angry Ginge jumped to his feet and filmed Maddison’s reaction, prompting the England star to push his phone away.
However the pair squashed it after full-time, shaking hands, and they’ve crossed paths before – including collaborating on a “dream five-a-side” video almost two years ago.
Influencer rivalry
Angry Ginge’s jump into mainstream TV has reportedly annoyed some creators who’ve been trying to land a spot on the game show for years.
It’s been suggested that some feel ITV keeps choosing rising online names over celebrities with bigger followings with comparisons already being made to last year’s addition of GK Barry.
Whether true or not, it’s clear Angry Ginge’s momentum this year has made him one of the most-watched personalities in that space.
Breaking ITV’s golden rule
Before entering camp, Angry Ginge caused a stir by openly chatting about his jungle stint after landing in Brisbane, something ITV traditionally warns contestants not to do.

He joked to The Sun about being invited by a handful of celebrity pals, including Kelly Brook and Lisa Riley, before teasing that he’d also crossed paths with at least three other campmates.
And when speaking about his close friend Aitch, he said “I’m not the number one fan of his music, but he’s a good guy so it should be fun.”
Comedian Ruby Wax interviewed Donald Trump on his private jet in 2000, but described the encounter as one of the ‘most excuriating’ moments of her career

Ruby Wax says Donald Trump “completely nailed” her with one comment(Image: BBC)
Ruby Wax says Donald Trump pushed her to quit showbiz after he “nailed her completely” during a notorious encounter. The comedian was “thrown off” Donald Trump’s private jet after meeting him for an interview.
It came after Ruby, 72, laughed at the billionaire when he told her he wanted to become the US President. Ruby spoke to the businessman on his plane for her Ruby Wax Meets series in 2000.
Trump, 79, reportedly threatened to “kill” Ruby should they ever meet again. Speaking on the Stompcast podcast with Dr Alex George, Ruby explained Trump was the “worst” interview she did during the series.
She said: “Donald Trump was the cruelest. That was when I decided to quit showbusiness because he threw me so much.
“He was so full of rage and hatred that I had flop sweat running down my face and thought, ‘I never want to do this again’. He nailed me completely and said at one point, ‘You’re angry with a smile.’ And I thought, ‘This guy has gutter instincts,’ because that’s exactly what I was.”
Ruby previously described her initial meeting with the US President as one of the most “excruciating moments” of her career. She believes Trump “hated” her during their discussion.
Describing Trump as “vicious” and “sharp” with a “gutter rat instinct,” she claims the tone of their meeting changed once she laughed at his presidential ambitions. She now admits she would have “handled it really differently” if she were to do the interview again.
Speaking on the Disruptors Podcast, Wax explained: “He called me obnoxious and he said, ‘Let’s land the plane.’ We were at 33,000 ft and I had laughed at him when he said he wants you to be president of the United States.
“I thought, ‘What a kidder. This guy’s got a sense of humor.’ And then I saw it wasn’t a joke. And he threw me off the plane.
“He said to John McEnroe, who was my next interview after him, ‘If I ever see Ruby Wax again, I’m going to kill her.”
Ruby previously told ABC that Trump told the pilot to land the plane in Arkansas so she could disembark. However, she believes she eventually won the President over with a moment that wasn’t caught on camera.
Speaking to ABC, Wax said: “We were in a car together, but you don’t see that. And he told me what he likes to do with women, thinking that he would shock me. But I shocked him back, so then he started to like me. Because I became as animal as he did.”
Ruby is currently competing in the latest series of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! On ITV One. From 9pm tonight (November 17) viewers will watch as she tackles the latest Bushtucker Trial with TikTok star Angry Ginge.
