‘Sneakerinas’ are one of spring’s biggest trends, and Marks & Spencer has just dropped a £50 pair you’ll be living in

View 5 Images

It’s officially going to be a ‘sneakerina’ spring, and Marks & Spencer’s latest launch is a stylish way you can tap into the trend.

As you can probably guess from the hybrid name, the ‘sneakerina’ combines trainers (or sneakers as Americans call them) and ballerina flats. This sounds pretty harmless, considering the two shoes are already popular and not exactly controversial. However, the result is something many people have mixed opinions about.

A-List celebs have, of course, already adopted this trend from Phoebe Dynevor to Bella Hadid, who was spotted wearing a £119 pair from Vivaia last year.

And now Marks & Spencer has launched its new style, the Suede Single Strap Mary Jane Trainers, priced at £50.

These stylish shoes feature a suede finish, which is right on trend for 2026. They also feature a comfy flat sole that makes them ideal for everyday wear, along with a signature Mary Jane-style strap.

Currently, there are only two colourways to choose from, with one being a dark brown and the second being a lighter taupe shade. To style these shoes, we’d recommend keeping it simple with a pair of straight-leg, blue-wash jeans, a crisp white t-shirt and a cool bomber jacket over the top.

What we love most about the ‘sneakerina’ trend is how it toughens up the classic ballerina shoe while also adding a feminine touch to the trainer.

If you’re looking for more styles to choose from, we’ve rounded up our current favourites below…

Claudia Winkleman wore her statement disco ring whilst filming Strictly Come Dancing last year, and it’s the perfect way to add some glamour to our Traitors-inspired winter wardrobe

Claudia Winkleman’s outfits on The Traitors have been providing us with endless styling inspiration this winter, but her previous Strictly Come Dancing looks were just as showstopping. For her final ever stint on the hit show, Claudia and stylist Sinead McKeefry injected Claudia’s edgy style with just the right amount of glamour for the Saturday night slot, giving us even more ways to replicate the host’s enviable style.

And one piece that’s been living in our minds (and on our wishlists) was her chunky statement Disco Ring. Claudia wore it for the first week of Strictly with a satin white shirt, tailored trousers and black tie, and it was the perfect way to bring some glitz into her androgynous look.

The Disco Ring hails from L’Atelier 73 and manages to bring some sparkle and glam whilst still working with Claudia’s signature gothic chic style. You can pick it up for £50, which is a steal compared to some of the presenter’s designer pieces she wears, and it’s an easy accessory to add to your wardrobe.

Made from 925 sterling silver plated in 18K gold, it features oversized artificial crystals which are formed into a textured semi-circle that creates a more elevated version of a disco ball that you can wear on your finger. Claudia opted for the black crystal version, but you can also pick it up in both pink and green which bring a subtle pop of colour to your outfits.

We could easily see the Disco Ring (particularly the green or black versions) working with her signature oversized knits, wool coats and chunky boots that she wears on The Traitors. The brand has also recently launched a Valentine’s and Galentine’s Day range, which is perfect for gifting someone special come February.

A chunky statement ring is the perfect way to jazz up an otherwise understated outfit, and we spotted some others that we’d love to add to our collection. PRYA’s Nora Ring comes with either black or green gemstones and is on sale for just £23, and is the perfect size for stacking with other bands.

Alternatively, the Orielle Ring from Bohomoon has an oversized green inlay and comes in both silver and gold metals, with a matching pendant available to buy. However if you want something that’s really going to make a statement, this Dulcis Cocktail Ring from Swarovski is a must-buy – it’s one sale for £71 and is made from transparent green resin, with a huge oversized pink crystal set in the middle.

Whilst Claudia’s Traitors wardrobe is the kind of grounded, easy style that we can all be wearing every day, her previous Strictly outfits are still a great go to when you want a little more glam in your life. And we’ll be starting with her Disco Ring.

Sources say actress Nicola Peltz has “pulled out all the stops” for her new movie, hitting the gym and following a strict diet, as she prepares to play the lead role in Prima

Nicola Peltz has “pulled out all the stops” for her new movie, hitting the gym and following a strict diet as she prepares to play the leading role of a ballerina.

Nicola will star in Prima alongside Oscar award-winner Faye Dunaway, and according to insiders, the actress has undertaken four months of intense ballet training for the role which has seen her weight plummet to below 100lbs (45kg).

It comes after fans speculated whether her shrinking figure was down to using weight loss jabs or because of her ongoing rift with husband Brooklyn Beckham’s family. Speculation of a rift first came about last year after Brooklyn and Nicole appeared to snub a number of special family occasions.

A source told The Sun: “Nicola was committed to getting things exactly right for this role and it just proves her determination and dedication.” They added: “There was also no way she was ever going to use the fat jab and so she’s done the work all herself.”

The movie sees Faye play her grandmother, who has dedicated her life to training Margot (Nicola) to become an exquisite ballerina. Nicola’s weight loss comes after she and Brooklyn cut ties with Brooklyn’s parents, David and Victoria, as well as his siblings.

Nicola’s husband Brooklyn sent a ‘legal letter’ to his parents David and Victoria. It’s alleged the entrepreneur issued them a desist letter, urging them not to contact him personally or through social media and to go through lawyers instead.

It is claimed that Brooklyn made it clear he did not want his parents to contact him directly or make public statements about him on social media. Instead, it’s thought he has told them to correspond between their respective legal teams at Schillings and Harbottle & Lewis.

Sources have suggested that Brooklyn’s “talk to my lawyers” stance may explain why the 26-year-old seemingly blocked his famous parents and his siblings on social media. The moment came shortly before Christmas , leaving the clan unable to view or comment on his posts over the festive period.

It’s thought Victoria and David received the desist letter at the end of last summer following months of speculation around their relationship with their son and his wife. Brooklyn and Nicola have largely remained silent throughout the speculation.

Instead, they continue to share support of each other on their public channels. They have also offered their followers glimpses of his cooking projects, and their married life and professional ventures together.

The pair have missed major family events, including his father David Beckham’s 50th birthday and Christmas with the family. Instead, he remained in Los Angeles with Nicola Peltz’s family over the festive period. And he also failed to show up in support of the former footballer after he was finally awarded a knighthood.

Angela Scanlon has been revealed as a new presenter of The Apprentice’s spin-off show, Unfinished Business, following former presenter Tom Allan’s emotional exit

A popular Strictly Come Dancing star has been revealed as a new presenter of The Apprentice’s spin-off show, Unfinished Business, after Tom Allen quit the role.

Angela Scanlon, who was partnered with Strictly’s Carlos Gu in 2023, is a BBC favourite who has also been rumoured to take over the presenting duties of Strictly, after Claudia Winkleman, 53, and Tess Daly, 56, left there presenting duties at the end of 2025.

The Apprentice’s spin-off show, Unfinished Business, has been running weekly for six years and follows after the main show. In a new statement from the show’s official Instagram page, Angela has been revealed as the new leader of the show.

Alongside a snap of Angela, the show penned: “Angela Scanlon has packed her briefcase and is ready for business – this time, to present The Apprentice: Unfinished Business! Alongside featuring industry experts and celebrity fans, The Apprentice: Unfinished Business will also see the first interviews with fired candidates each week, with Angela and the panel dissecting all the drama and behind-the-scenes intel. The Apprentice: Unfinished Business, coming soon to # iPlayer and #BBCSounds.”

Fans were thrilled to have the Strictly star fronting the show, as one person wrote: “Love this!! Yes pleaseeeee”, while another added: “You’re Hired! Welcome onboard.” A third wrote: “Omg amazing amazing”, while a fourth said they were ‘thrilled’ for Angela. Angela said in response to one fan: “YES!!! BBC Two straight after the main show xx”.

Former presenter Tom Allen decided to leave his position on the show after six years. Tom shared an emotional statement on Instagram this week and paid tribute to his co-stars.

He said: “I have decided, after six years, to say goodbye to The Apprentice: You’re Fired. I have had so much fun working with the most incredible creative people to make it all happen. I was also getting concerned Lord Sugar might realise I know nothing about business – as above video demonstrates”.

Tom added: “Thank you @lord_sugar, @karren_brady_official, @timcampbell_mbe for all their support and encouragement at every step. And also thank you to each @apprenticeuk candidate and guest panelist who joined me in the studio. Exciting things are coming up for the show, and as for me, I shall be embarking on new voyages very soon…”

Angela’s new role follows after fans were thrilled to see her step in as a presenter on This Morning in December, and even demanded that she be given a permanent role. The Irish TV star teamed up with Dermot O’Leary on Friday (December 19), stepping in as the latest celebrity to fill the void after Emma Willis was forced to withdraw due to illness. It marked Angela’s first time as a This Morning presenter.

“I like Angela, she is very mischievous, and I like that,” one viewer posted on X, formerly Twitter. Another fan declared: “Angela Scanlon is FANTASTIC hosting This Morning. Needs to be full-time.”

The adult content creator had her “best month to date” after her viral stunt video in which she slept with 100 men in 24 hours

Adult content creator Lily Phillips has revealed her staggering OnlyFans earnings following her viral stunt video in which she slept with 100 men in 24 hours. Lily had her “best month to date” in terms of income after she took part in the challenge, which was accompanied by a YouTube documentary, back in October 2024.

Speaking on an upcoming episode of the new series of Olivia Attwood: Getting Filthy Rich, Lily said her financial boost helped her to buy a £1,025,000 home in cash. She told Olivia she made £800,000 in the month after the stunt was aired, adding that for her, a “low month” would be around £200,000.

Olivia asked Lily what warnings she’d give to young girls considering a career in the sex industry. Lily responded: “I don’t think this job is for everyone. Really think about it before you go into it. It’s going to affect every relationship you have. The hate online isn’t for the weak minded.”

Olivia’s new six-part documentary will dive even deeper into the ever-evolving world of the sex industry – once considered taboo, now breaking into the mainstream. The former TOWIE star will even head to Vegas to find out whether everything really is bigger and better in the City of Sin.

Lily grew up in a small village in Derbyshire and dropped out of university after a few months to join OnlyFans. In her first 24 hours online, she made £2,000 and has since gone on to pull a number of ‘live stunts’. On an episode of Stacey Dooley’s show, Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over, Lily opened up about her parents’ reaction.

“I described it to them as more like glamour modelling. Obviously, they were concerned at the start – are you safe, as long as it’s only online,” she says, before admitting she hadn’t told her parents about her latest ‘stunt’.

The stunts happen in person – rather than online – and Lily will go out and physically recruit people for them. No one is off limits. The content was so shocking that none of it ended up in the documentary.

In a candid chat, Lily got emotional as she spoke with her parents on her regular Sunday catch up. Her dad says: “We’ve known for years she’s done OnlyFans and I thought it was just posing in swimwear and lingerie.”

“When she said she was doing Only Fans, we stood back because we want to continue our relationship with our daughter. We were pretty open with it, but when it went to the next step, we were like ‘no no’,” her mum says. Heartbreakingly, her dad says: “If there’s anything we could do to change her profession, we’d do it overnight … It’s the degradingness of it and making sure that she’s safe.”

Her dad says: “Sometimes we think have we done anything wrong with her upbringing, well as far as I’m concerned we’ve had nothing but nice times and love … Is it money? Because if it was money, we’d sell our house. You could have everything you want Lily if you gave it all up now.” When asked how she feels, Lily says she understands and respects how they feel and “that’s that”.

The conversation later gets too much for Lily and she walks away, hearing her parents get emotional over their daughter’s career choice. “I don’t want to be on camera, I just need a moment,” she says. Her mum is also emotional as they both apologise for upsetting her, as her dad says he receives calls from random people saying ‘I hope your daughter dies’.

Lily says she’d do anything to stop her parents being affected by what she does – but talk of money doesn’t come easy for Lily. When pressed by Stacey about how much she earns, Lily eventually confesses to being a multi-millionaire.

“So the subscribers, they’ll give a tenner and she’s got 33,000 so that’s £330,000 a month,” Stacey reveals during one of Lily’s live videos – which all gets too much and Stacey walks out, unable to watch it continue.

Her empire has allowed her to buy her dream car outright and finance isn’t even a word Lily needs to think about. “Does multimillionaire mean lots of millions in the bank? I’d say multimillionaire,” she says rather bashfully, before adding: “I’m so English – I find money so uncomfortable to talk about… I find it a little bit distasteful.”

Fellow adult content creator Bonnie Blue has also been criticised for appearing to promote their career choice with young women looking to enter into the industry.

“It’s been a total privilege working on @channel4news for exactly two decades,” she said. “I’ll miss my talented Channel 4 News colleagues enormously, but as Mary Shelley once wrote: ‘the beginning is always today’. And I can’t wait to begin again.” The news was met with praise from celebrity friends and fans, as Piers Morgan wrote: “Wow! Big transfer (nice work @davidgrayrhodes) – many congrats.” While Sky News correspondent Jon Craig said: “Welcome, Cathy!” As journalist Ed Conway wrote: “Welcome @cathynewman so excited to have you here with us!”

Meanwhile, Cathy’s announcement was followed up by a post from Sky News which read: “.@cathynewman is joining Sky News! The award-winning journalist will lead our flagship daily politics programme, launch a brand-new podcast, and deliver powerful investigations and documentaries. A new programme. A new voice. A new chapter for Sky News’s evening politics output”.

The tweet was accompanied by a video which saw Cathy speaking to the camera as she said: “Hi everyone, I’m Cathy I’m thrilled to be joining Sky News with a brand new programme, packed with exclusives. I love the drama of politics, the outside personalities, the huge decisions that affect us all. But, I also love big stories so I’m gonna be sniffing them out in Westminster and far beyond. I can’t wait to get cracking.”

David Rhodes, Executive Chairman of Sky News, said of the news: “Cathy has broken some of Britain’s biggest stories and brings a clear, engaging style that audiences trust and we’re delighted to welcome her to Sky News.” He added: “Our future plan requires just the kind of premium investigative and political expertise that Cathy will bring to our team.”

Cathy joined Channel 4 in January 2006 as a political correspondent and deputy political editor. During her career she covered a string of high-profile stories in politics including her interview with Jordan Peterson, which sparked a media storm. She also conducted an investigation on sexual harassment within Westminster and covered the John Smyth QC abuse investigation.
