I purchase most of my food from Aldi, from sourdough bread to halloumi. There is one item from there that I don’t buy, though, because it disappointed me.

I’m fortunate enough to live a stone’s throw away from two major supermarkets: Aldi and Sainsbury’s. Unlike most who do a weekly shop, I tend to nip in daily to pick up bits for the next day’s lunch or dinner.

Aldi is generally my supermarket of choice due to its wallet-friendly prices and scrumptious bakery items.

I can typically get everything I need for less than a tenner each day, while picking up a few essentials from Sainsbury’s can quickly tally up. However, thanks to its Aldi Price Match guarantee, Sainsbury’s does offer a range of items at the same price as Aldi.

However, many items I buy on a weekly basis are significantly pricier at Sainsbury’s, reports the Express.

Tofu, lactose-free milk, sourdough bread, and halloumi are some of the items I purchase at Sainsbury’s during the week that are more expensive.

Despite being a fan of Aldi, dishwasher tablets are always something I avoid at the discount chain of supermarkets.

Just a week into using Aldi dishwasher tablets, I attempted to switch to them a few months ago but encountered problems.

The Magnum Premium Triple Chamber All-in-One dishwasher tablets, which I typically choose, resembled the Fairy Platinum All-In One dishwasher tablets, were in question.

I was eager to try the Aldi tablets, which cost me a hefty £3.99 for 37, because I thought I could save a lot if they performed as well as the Fairy ones, which cost me a hefty £9 for 32.

However, I noticed that some dishes that were coming out of my dishwasher were stale and cloudy, and that food residue was still clinging to them after a week.

The same problem kept appearing in my dishwasher as I cleaned the filter and added more salt, which required us to re-wash several items in the sink.

Since that time, I’ve vehemently opposed purchasing any particular Aldi dishwasher tablets.

I can’t say for certain whether my dishwasher is the cause of the problem since switching back to Fairy tablets, but I haven’t.

My neighborhood Sainsbury’s has both Fairy Platinum All-In-One dishwasher tablets and Fairy Platinum Plus All-In One dishwasher tablets in stock, but I always have a few bags when they arrive in Aldi’s Specialbuys section, usually for much less money.

I’m aware that there are less expensive dishwasher tablets available; in fact, I haven’t tried Sainsbury’s Advanced Dishwasher Ultimate dishwasher tablets. However, Fairy’s Platinum dishwasher tablets have incredible cleaning power.

Loose Women will only be broadcasting for 30 weeks of the year on ITV, which will cause Sherrie Hewson to react. From January, the daytime schedule will change.

A Loose Women panellist has criticised the decision to reduce the output of the long-running ITV show. It follows the news of several changes to the broadcaster’s daytime schedule from the start of next year.

The show will begin airing only for 30 weeks of its runtime starting in January, according to a May announcement. It will be broadcast on a “seasonable basis” for an additional hour between 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. According to ITV, the schedule changes “were in part due to it]generating savings that will allow it to reinvest the program budget in other genres.”

Sherrie Hewson, 74, who was a panellist on Loose Women between 2003 and 2017, has now questioned the decision to reduce the number of episodes. She’s suggested that it is “cruel,” describing the show as a “lifeline” to some viewers.

She told the Sun: “For women of all ages, those up to 95 down to younger women at home with young children, it’s like therapy to them.” Sherrie added that it “feels cruel and sad” that the broadcaster is cutting episodes of Loose Women, which she said can “bring anger and emotions. “

The actor claimed that viewers “need shows where they can shout out to the TV.” The outlet then continued, saying, “Some people are lonely and it’s their only source of comfort during the day. They use it as a lifeline.”

Sherrie argued that “TV should be a source of joy,” before adding that Loose Women offers the opportunity to “join in.” She predicted that “a lot of people” will miss the show over the coming weeks if it isn’t on next year.

She stated in the interview that was released earlier this weekend, “I know there are budget cuts, I know there are constraints.” However, she criticized Lorraine and Loose Women as “being affected by this,” calling it “such a shame”.

Sherrie reportedly works in nursing homes and told the outlet that Loose Women is “so crucial” for dementia patients living in these settings. She claimed that it “keeps them alive.” They feel as though they are “interacting,” and she observes them closely.

ITV announced upcoming changes to its daytime schedule in May. It was revealed that, from January next year, Good Morning Britain (GMB) will be extended by 30 minutes, with the show soon to be running from 6am to 9.30am daily.

Lorraine will be shortened by 30 minutes, running from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m., and will only air on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks a year. GMB will be broadcast between 6am and 10am during the weeks when it isn’t on.

This Morning will remain in its 10am to 12.30pm slot on weekdays throughout the year. Loose Women will stay in its 12.30pm to 1.30pm slot but will only air on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the years when the changes happen.

Additionally, it was made known that ITV News’ London-based GMB team will work there. While ITV Studios will continue to produce Lorraine, This Morning, and Loose Women, which will be televised from a new city location.

The changes were described in a statement released at the time by Kevin Lygo, managing director of ITV’s Media and Entertainment division. He added, “Daytime is a really important part of what we do, and these scheduling and production changes will allow us to continue to deliver a schedule that gives viewers the news, debate, and discussion they love from the presenters they know and trust.” It also saves money, which will allow us to reinvest across the programme budget in other genres.

He continued, adding that the adjustments would increase the news output. At a time when our viewers are more demanding for accurate, unbiased news coverage than ever, he added, “These changes also allow us to consolidate our news operations, expand our national, international, and regional news output.”

Kevin continued, “I am aware that our plans will have an impact on Daytime production teams’ off-screen staff, and we will work with ITV Studios and ITN to help them transition.” As we approach the eighth decade, ITV will continue to offer viewers award-winning news, views, and discussion as a key component of its programming for more than 40 years.

A source claims that the singer is “so happy” with the actress and that “they’re just having fun” with Zoe Kravitz after being photographed on a number of dates.

Harry Styles is reportedly in the “happiest” place of his life after embarking on a fresh romance with Zoë Kravitz. The 31-year-old former One Direction heartthrob has been snapped strolling arm in arm with actress Zoë, 36, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, this week.

It marks their latest outing after they were first romantically connected when spotted together in August in Rome. At the time, they enjoyed a romantic stroll through the city. Zoë, who possesses a flat in Williamsburg, previously occupied the property with her former fiancé Channing Tatum.

And a source revealed that “Harry wouldn’t have gone public with Zo if it weren’t anything.” It’s so difficult to date a celebrity. They are just having fun, and the design is brand-new and fresh.

The insider continued to tell Page Six, “Harry doesn’t label this stuff.” Additionally, another source confirmed the allegations, saying “He’s just having a great time, Harry is the happiest he’s ever been.”

Since wrapping up his two-year global tour in Italy in July 2023, Harry has been secluded from the public eye. He “worked his a** off” during the stint, according to friends, and has since focused on a more peaceful schedule.

In addition to completing the Tokyo marathon in March and observing Pope Francis deliver a speech at St Peter’s Square in May, he has also participated in visiting neighborhood cafés close to his Hampstead residence while blending into the crowds while wearing baseball caps and dark glasses.

Over the Labor Day weekend, Harry was also spotted at the Parisian wedding of Instagram bigwig Charles Porch and philanthropist Robert Denning. Carole Radziwill, star of The Real Housewives of New York, revealed that the pop heartthrob assisted her up the steps of Le Bristol hotel.

A handsome @harrystyles, the brains behind the beauty brand Violet Grey, graciously lent her his arm like Cinderella’s prince, as Cassandra Grey shared on Instagram.

Before their split in October, Zo, the daughter of rock legends Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet, was previously engaged to Karl Glusman and engaged to Channing Tatum last year.

She recently spotted promoting her film Caught Stealing alongside Austin Butler’s co-star.

After meeting on the set of Don’t Worry Darling, Harry and Olivia Wilde, 41, started a two-year romance in 2020 and 2022. Since then, he’s been linked to Ella Kenny, Taylor Russell, Olivia Dean, and Emily Ratajkowski.

Additionally, Pals discovered Harry is working on new songs for a release in 2025 on Page Six. One friend continued, “It’s in Harry’s nature to be like, You have to miss me.” He can’t be in your face; instead, he’s enjoying his free time, writing music at his own pace, and not being told by labels, “You need to deliver on this day.”

Kate Price acknowledges that, despite having some happy memories of her union with Peter Andre, she has endured almost 20 years of suffering as a result of their split.

Katie Price has opened up about the breakdown of her marriage to Peter Andre – but insists there are “happy memories”. The former glamour model and telly star was joined by her friend Kerry Katona for the opening night of their joint tour at Marine Hall in Fleetwood tonight, where the friends of more than two decades spoke openly about their lives.

On their tour, Price, 47, and Katona, 45, will stop in cities like New Brighton, Ellsmere Port, Stockport, and London. Talk soon turned to their ex-husbands during the opening night.

It comes after Katie found herself under fire from her first husband, Peter, who issued a blistering statement as he vowed that things ought to stop. Taking to Instagram, Andre said he would be setting the record straight following “repeated lies” from Price and her family, throughout which he had stayed silent.

He continued, “The most recent comments about the welfare and living conditions of my children compel me to set the record straight.” Junior and Princess were placed with me until they were adults in 2018 for well-known reasons and for their safety.

The family courts issued a legally binding order to carry out this agreement in 2019. Out of respect for my children, I’ve never made this public.

“My ex-wife made false claims in court cases that were publicly documented in 2011 and 2015.” She was also required to apologize to me and my management and pay substantial damages and legal costs. Today, the same lies are being made. Unfortunately, I haven’t yet addressed any of the lies and false accusations I have heard. In the upcoming months, those will now be addressed.

Kerry made a joke about how sorry she had placed Katie and Peter on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Due to his pop career, Peter already had a management team after they left the jungle, according to Katie.

She continued, “Well, he had a manager,” adding, “I needed to be careful with how I word things now because I wanted to be with Pete and Pete wanted to be with me.” Kerry interrupted, saying, “I’ll say it. She ultimately managed me, Pete, and… We were three in the marriage.

Katie continued: “There are memories. They were very good memories. I’ve suffered 16 years cause of it, from when I split up I’ve had 16 years of hell. But I’m glad now that the truth is coming out on social media and people are seeing.” An audience member told the Mirror: “Kerry jumped in joking saying ‘I’ll say it’ when Katie seemed hesitant to talk candidly due to legal concerns. There was a huge wave of support for her when she did open up. Say what you like about Katie but she has a fierce support base.”

This week, Katie found herself at Number Two on the Official Download Charts with her 2017 track, I Got U, with sources claiming it was “revenge” after a turbulent time. A source told us that the move had left Katie “on top of the world.”

Our source claims that Katie is delighted and that this is “real revenge” for everyone that has recently occurred due to the drama. She has been so hurt and feels like she has always been cast as the bad guy, so this has really helped her when she needed it most, she said. “She won’t go quietly where the haters are concerned.”

Fans who show their support for Katie’s single and purchasing tickets to the show, according to the source, has helped them cope with a high-pressure situation a little bit. Katie has struggled to defend herself against her exes, which has been difficult. She appears to have held much of what has transpired in her mind, according to them, and she does. She always threatened to fight back, but she appreciates it when she finally has some self-assurance and support.

As they announced their romance on Saturday, BBB Radio host Rylan Clark and his new boyfriend, Kennedy Bates, were chatting and laughing with friends.

At Radio 2 In The Park, Rylan Clark and his new partner Kennedy Bates proudly showed off their blossoming romance. At the Saturday event in Chelmsford, the couple were spotted together socializing with friends in the VIP area.

Rylan, 36, a former X Factor star, has been a BBC Radio host since 2018 and received a free ticket to the glitzy event. While Kennedy, a 47-year-old, was a beaming plus one alongside the television and radio personality.

As the boys chatted and laughed with their group of chums, chatted and appeared in good spirits, and spent their time in the sunshine together, they looked relaxed and at ease.

The pair, who were revealed as dating last month, spend the day together, and the exchange was flirty, according to an eyewitness. The TV host and the funfair worker’s chemistry was undeniable by those present for the couple.

A witness described Ryan and his new partner as “seriously in love and had a great time together in the VIP.

There was a lot of PDA and they were laughing and joking. Kennedy was a victim of a playfully smacked on the bum by Rylan when he left while his boyfriend waited in line for food. Rylan’s mother Linda and Kennedy were also talking to one another, so it’s obvious that the family has accepted him.

The source continued, stating that Rylan “seemed happy to have his new man by his side” and that he had “a lively energy in the area.”

Fans will be delighted to learn that Rylan is enjoying his new romance after his 2021 marriage to Dan Neal ended.

The actress’ new relationship was revealed last month, according to reports that the pair had been having a summertime secret relationship. This new man has definitely put a smile back on Rylan’s face, according to a source who spoke to The Sun on Sunday. “They have been enjoying spending a lot of time together,” said the couple.

“Rylan’s family and friends have all met him, and they’ve been playing a lot of shows together this summer, including Oasis,” he said.

Prior to his recent coercion, Rylan was forced to reveal his happy news while on his radio show, Talking About Louis Theroux’s recent podcast. After Louis and Louis exchanged a conversation on how to get married, Rylan’s co-star Lottie cheekily inquired about “something else” that was mentioned.

And this prompted the TV personality to confess that he had been seeing someone. At first Rylan was coy about revealing that he was no longer single, as he said: “I might have said that I’m… it feels weird saying it on the radio!”

The team and Lottie then admitted meeting Rylan’s new man, who she described as “lovely,” and then admitted to doing the same.

Rylan even revealed that Kennedy and he had discussed the idea of having children. He declared, “I’m very happy this time.” I recently started a relationship, which is fantastic. And it feels very different from anything I’ve ever had, which is a good sign for me.

He confirmed that since splitting from Dan, he has introduced Kennedy to his family for the first time. When he inquired whether they had considered starting a family of their own, documentary director Louis questioned Rylan about the romance.

Have you been considering that? Louis posed a question. “Yes, I want kids,” Ryan retorted openly. He desires children.
