Nestlé has jumped on the chocolate orange bandwagon with the launch of a new limited edition Orange Yorkie bar, and they’re stocked on shelves at B&M.
Long gone are the days when Terry dominated the chocolate orange market for those with a sweet tooth, as 2020 saw the launch of the highly-anticipated Cadbury Chocolate Orange range which features Twirls, Buttons and Fingers that are now all regularly spotted in most shops and supermarkets.
And then earlier this year, Galaxy also launched a ‘Smooth Orange’ take on its popular milk chocolate bar, that’s already going down a treat with fans.
Now, it’s the turn of the Yorkie Orange.
After teasing the new release on social media late last month, Nestlé UK & Ireland confirmed that the Yorkie Orange would be hitting shelves up and down the country from 10 May, and described it as a “delicious twist” on the original Yorkie chocolate bar with solid pieces of smooth orange-flavoured milk chocolate in the classic chunky shape that everyone loves.

There’s a 46g bar which is perfect for that mid-afternoon snack, or the larger 72g Yorkie Orange Duo, which is ideal for sharing.

Speaking ahead of the launch of the Yorkie Orange earlier this month, Amy Kendall – Brand Manager at Yorkie – said: “Yorkie has been a consumer favourite for 45 years, and we’re very excited to introduce a brand new twist on this chocolate classic.

“Delicious chunks of our signature Yorkie creamy milk chocolate are enlivened with irresistible orange to create a moreish taste sensation that we hope will become a firm favourite.”
She also added: “We know how much shoppers in the UK and Ireland love to try new products from their favourite brands.
“We think Yorkie Orange is a winning combination and can’t wait for people to try it”.

This is everything we ever thought we needed and more!
We're big fans of the OG Yorkie , so an orange variant is a must-try!
Well, people have been trying it, and it sounds like they’ve been absolutely loving it too, if the rave reviews plastered across social media and on food blogging accounts are anything to go by, that is.
If you’re keen to get your hands on a Yorkie Orange to try for yourself, then leading discount retail chain B&M has announced it’ll be selling bars of the limited edition chocolate treat for just 49p from this week, which appears to be by far the cheapest you’ll find it.

RFL give the go-ahead for a new Salford rugby league team
Danny Jones
The Rugby Football League (RFL) have given the go-ahead for a new Salford rugby league team in the New Year.
Rejoice, Salfordians – the Red Devils as you know them might be done, but it looks like a Phoenix is rising very soon.
However, following a consortium bid led by a former player, it now looks as though the local community will be starting a new sporting era in 2026. You can read the RFL’s statement in full down below.
As you can see, the English governing body has agreed to grant the new Salford-based rugby league team Championship status in time for the start of next season.
The Red Devils were officially relegated back in October, following months of uncertainty surrounding their unpaid debts and having to rely on loan players to field squads.
It’s unclear whether the new Salford side will carry on under the well-established brand and logo, or whether they fresh start will include a new Greater Manchester moniker.
There is, of course, an obvious choice as retired winger Mason Caton-Brown has been confirmed as one of at least three key investors following his ‘Phoenix Bid’ to resurrect the club earlier this month.
Following the official announcement on Monday (22 Dec), fan group The 1873 have now expressed their gratitude and support regarding the new investment, adding: “The strength of this club has always been its people and that must remain true in this new chapter.”
We would like to congratulate The Phoenix Bid on being awarded RFL membership and becoming custodians of Salford Rugby League 👏

Caton-Brown had already insisted that the new leadership group had reached multiple pre-contract agreements with players and a new head coach.
While it’s obviously a big result to be gearing up just a few weeks after seemingly folding as a competitive side, the owners are now racing to get a full squad ready to face Oldham in their season opener on 16 January.
Meanwhile, ex-Salford Red Devils stars Paul Rowley and Adam Sidlow have now joined the coaching staff at St Helens.

The UK’s top 10 biggest Christmas ‘icks’ have been revealed

The UK’s top 10 biggest Christmas ‘icks’ have been revealed, according to the results from a hilarious new survey.
Christmas may be the most wonderful time of the year, but it can also have its fair share of icks.
From tinsel on the tree, to cheesy Christmas jumpers, and everything in between, there are plenty of Christmas traditions that we simply love, and some we love to hate – and now, new research conducted by online retailer Haypp ahead of the festive season has revealed exactly what it is that Brits find the ickiest.
The research reveals that the number one ick is a controversial one – putting ketchup on a Christmas dinner, as nearly a third of respondents (32%) claim it makes them feel grim and that they’d judge someone for it.

It may cause controversy in a few households nationwide, the second biggest ‘ick’ is adults in matching festive pyjamas, with just under a third of Brits cringing, while some of the other similar traditions to this on the list being family photo Christmas cards, and wearing Christmas jumpers in public.
Elsewhere on the list, it was revealed that 27% of Brits find it unbearable to talk about politics over dinner, and lots of us don’t like it when others watch us open presents.
Around 18% also can’t stand it when people argue over festive games.
The UK’s top 10 Christmas ‘icks’
Having tomato ketchup on your Christmas dinner – 32%
Adults in matching pyjamas – 29.2%
Talking politics during dinner – 27.9%
Undoing your trousers at the dinner table – 24.4%
Leaving the dinner table to smoke – 23.2%
Everyone watching you open your presents – 20.4%
Being hungover on Christmas Day – 19.5%
Arguing over a game – 18.1%
Family photo Christmas cards – 15.2%
Wearing Christmas jumpers – 13.2%
Bad habits at the dinner table also feature heavily on the list, as a quarter of Brits hate it when people undo their trousers after the Christmas meal, and just over a fifth find it rude when someone leaves the table to go and smoke.
