Why is fitness coach Joe Wicks selling a protein bar that could be hazardous to your health?

What I eat definitely impacts how I feel, both physically and mentally. As a fitness coach, I’ve learned the importance of a healthy diet. However, I still find it hard to resist things like a single biscuit or a piece of chocolate. It’s important to remember that this isn’t a personal failing; these kinds of foods are designed to be addictive, and they’re available everywhere – from petrol stations and soft-play centres to leisure centres and even hospitals. We’re constantly surrounded by them. Sometimes it feels like highly processed foods (UPFs) are actively trying to get to us.

Rob Brydon reveals why he initially turned down new BBC series – and what changed his mind

I really like the idea and I’m eager to learn more. When the BBC initially proposed this [three-part series], I turned it down because I didn’t think I was an expert on country music, and it could seem like I was just taking advantage of a trend.

Channel 4’s Worlds Apart may recall Race Across the World, but makes up in heart what it lacks in originality

The Channel 4 executive behind Worlds Apart seems to be using a similar formula, creating a show that compensates for a lack of new ideas with plenty of warmth. The concept is clearly inspired by Race Across the World: six young, inexperienced British travellers – labelled “Gen Z,” meaning they’re not the very newest generation, but do have passports – are paired with older pensioner partners, meeting them for the first time on the streets of Tokyo. This description prompted many of us to quickly search online to understand the cutoff between Millennials and Gen Z (it’s 1996/7, for those curious). Back in Japan, these pairs navigate the city, working to solve puzzles, collect coins, and compete for a £50,000 prize.

Amanda Holden: ‘My daughter’s not a nepo baby – her success is nothing to do with me’

I own a really vibrant, paprika orange sofa – my husband, music producer Chris Hughes, was quite shocked when I brought it home! – and the wall opposite it is basically a media center. I hired a skilled carpenter to build some shelves and paint them green. Now I have lots of interesting items displayed on the shelves – and right in the center, a large television.
