Beans are an absolute staple of the British diet, right? And cheesy beans might be one of our nation’s finest culinary creations.
Now, two heavyweight brands have collaborated to make that culinary creation even more convenient.
You may remember that back in 2022, Heinz took two British breakfast classics, baked beans and hash browns, and combined them together to create a new delicacy, and then only a matter of months later, followed that up with the similarly-genius creation of tomato ketchup inside hash browns – both of which are available exclusively in Iceland.
So, with seemingly every other beans creation having now been created, it’s time for a new one… and what could be a better new addition than Heniz teaming up with cult cheese brand, Cathedral City, to create literal cans of cheesy beans that you’ll soon be able to grab from supermarket shelves?
Yes, that’s right – Brits have been combining baked beans and cheese for decades, but now, all the effort that’s involved in the preparation has been made even easier for us.

Heinz x Cathedral City Cheesy Beanz are finally a reality, and it’s just in time for Valentine’s Day.
“We know Brits absolutely love pairing beans with cheese,” Alessandra de Dreuille, who is the Director of Meals and Insights at Heinz UK, said ahead of the product’s release tomorrow.
“So we’re thrilled to finally announce our partnership with Cathedral City and bring beanz lovers up and down the country the ultimate perfect match.

“And what better time to launch this cheesy duo than in the run-up to Valentine’s Day too, so whether you’re celebrating with your friends, partner, family or even your pets, you can be sure to find love with Heinz Cheesy Beanz.”
The launch of the product comes as recent research carried out by the two brands has revealed that almost half of Brits say beans and cheese are one of the best food combos, with people eating beans 57 times a year on average, a further 25% admitting to indulging in them at least twice a week or more, and 64% saying cheese makes beans even tastier than they already are.
Want to get your hands on them then?
Well, first up, a limited drop of 500 Heinz Cheesy Beanz cans will go live at midday this Valentine’s Day on heinztohome.co.uk, and then the product will then be hitting Tesco stores nationwide from 21 February.
The new creation is expected to set you back just £1.80 per can, so you don’t even need to break the bank to tuck into your newest favourite comfort food.

Billie Eilish reveals the reason why chose Manchester to film her new movie
Danny Jones
Global superstar Billie Eilish has revealed the reason why she chose Manchester, of all places, to film her upcoming new movie.
The answer won’t surprise you, but we were buzzing with it nonetheless.
In case you were unaware, Billie Eilish – Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour is the new documentary and live concert film directed by Billie herself, along with some help from none other than James Cameron.
Being screened not only in cinemas but also in 3D (yes, that’s still a thing), the performance-based movie captures content taken from her run of gigs right here in Manchester. Here’s why she picked us:
Though it’s still no surprise, really, we always find it so surreal seeing some of the world’s most famous artists speaking so highly about our city.
As you can see, while she did quip that the schedule lined up production-wise, it was an easy decision to pick her four – yes, FOUR sold-out nights at Co-op Live, as the place to film the project based on the atmosphere alone.
“I fricking love Manchester”, said the 24-year-old, going on to add, “Honestly, Manchester is one of my favourite audiences ever.”
Manc fans simply couldn’t get enough of her, hence why she was able to book so many big dates at the massive arena.
Here’s the big surprise she brought out for the show we were lucky enough to be at:
We love Billie and, as it turns out, she feels the same about us.
The release date for Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft tour movie is coming around early next month, with the film set to be screened in selected cinemas across the UK and beyond on May 8, 2026.
Speaking in the recent interview on the red carpet with the BBC, she also detailed how fellow Academy Award-winner Cameron contacted her first about the prospect of creating this immersive music project.
Imagine just picking up the phone to James Cameron – as you do…
Will you be watching? Better still, were you at one of the shows and plan to look out for yourself in the crowd, which is now soon to be splashed on the big screen?
Manchester United home kit for 2026/27 ‘leaked’ online in unboxing video
Danny Jones
Manchester United’s new home kit for the 2026/27 campaign has reportedly been leaked online in a YouTuber’s unboxing video ahead of next season.
We know fake shirts and dupes can be pretty accurate these days, but it looks very much like this could be the real deal.
Shared by dedicated football kit reviewer, ‘Retro Man‘, who has seemingly revealed the latest Man United jersey, this unveiling lines up with the previously rumoured designs circulated on social media.
A Red Devil himself, the creator has teased previous releases that turned out to be true in the past, so we’ll leave it up to all of you to decide how bona fide you think this supposed home strip is. Ever-reliable footy fashion peers, Footy Headlines, have also shared these images:
Uploaded to the channel on 25 April, Retro Man did a full overview of the United 26/27 home shirt, highlighting key features such as a red-forward collar with black and white accents.
That same trim is repeated on the ends of the sleeves – reminiscent of the 2011/12 iteration, only differing in the more crew neck style – and the back of the neck now simply reads “UNITED”.
It is worth noting that this is specifically the replica shirt that most fans will purchase.
Should it prove to be the genuine article, this will be the 11th Manchester United kit by adidas since they returned as manufacturers over a decade ago, a.k.a. the start of the Louis van Gaal era.
Retro Man has since posted another video showing off what he claims to be the ‘authentic’ version, too; you can check it out in more detail down below.
Looks pretty legit…
As you can see, the official player edition that will be worn on the pitch by actual United squad members (though they are still available to purchase by the public) appears to hold some key distinctions.
Besides some differences around the panelling and stitching, there is also a noticeable textured section along large sections of the interwoven fabric as part of the brand’s breathable and trademark ‘Climacool’ technology.
Elsewhere, the badge itself also looks to have a more embossed/raised finish. If this is the real deal, what do you make of it?
This isn’t the only United kit that’s caught some attention of late, either:
