Can’t afford 24-carat gold? Don’t worry, Aldi is here to offer you a very clever solution instead.

In a world where celebrity proposals are making headlines on the regular, from Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, to Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez, showing off their with dazzling carat rocks like the prized possessions they are, Aldi has put its own spin on things – proving there’s room for more carrot and less carat.

A Queer Eye favourite is bringing his first-ever UK comedy tour here to Manchester

Danny Jones Danny Jones Jonathan Van Ness live stand-up comedy tour UK Manchester gig

A much-loved member of the Queer Eye cast is set to embark on his debut UK comedy tour and is bringing his live stand-up gig to Manchester crowds.

If you’ve ever seen the successful Netflix reboot of the original Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, which aired its first season back in 2003, you’ll know that one of the biggest characters on the show is Jonathan Van Ness.

Known as the grooming expert on the series, Van Ness is just as popular a TV personality among fans as he is on the programme and in the entertainment industry itself.

He’s also got a pretty decent funny bone on him, too, and we’re glad to see he’s finally bringing his comic chops across the pond.

This is by no means the first time ‘JvN’ has leaned into the comedic side of his talents, having previously worked on the cult favourite digital web series Gay of Thrones, as well as his own Netflix documentary, Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness, which also has plenty of humour.

It’s also not his inaugural hour of stand-up either, as he released his maiden special, Fun & Slutty with Jonathan Van Ness, in his hometown of Austin, Texas, this past December.

Since then, he’s also started his own podcast called Getting Better with Jonathan Van Ness – available via BBC Sounds – which also features a fair few jokes every week.

Put simply, the 38-year-old hairstylist and presenter is much more than that: he’s becoming an increasingly convincing jack of all trades, and we’re absolutely here for it.

You can hear the kind of material he last put out down below.

Speaking of his multi-talentedness, the Emmy-winning television personality, three-time New York Times best-selling author, podcaster, founder of JVN Hair AND now comedian might be one of the most prolific public figures on the planet at the moment.

He’s already sold out two critically acclaimed global tours, and with a whole new raft of European dates now announced, Jonathan’s UK and Ireland leg is sure to do the same.

Hot and Healed tour dates 2026

  • Sunday 17 May – London, Theatre Royal Drury Lane
  • Monday 18 May – Nottingham Playhouse
  • Tuesday 19 May – Bristol, St George’s
  • Thursday 21 May – Manchester, Albert Hall
  • Friday 22 May – Glasgow, O2 Academy

The presale window to see Jonathan Van Ness live is open now, and you can grab general admission tickets from 10am this Friday, 7 November.

Marco Pierre White praises Manchester restaurant serving ‘the best pizza’ he’s EVER had

Danny Jones Danny Jones Marco Pierre White says Forbici in Manchester is the best pizza he's ever had

Legendary chef Marco Pierre White has given his verdict on where he thinks does THE best pizza not just in the UK but perhaps in the entire world, and it’s right here in Manchester

Rudy’s, Nell’s, Double Zero and now this – we really are spoilt for slices in 0161, aren’t we?

Pierre White, who was not only the first Brit to ever win three Michelin stars but the youngest person to achieve the feat in history, recently visited the restaurant in question and was more than happy to share his bold claims, dubbing it “the very best I’ve ever had in my life”.

That’s saying quite something, not only from one of the most famous chefs in the world, but given his own family heritage. He even saw fit to sign the menu and write the man in the kitchen a thank-you note.

A recent London export, which only just launched in spring 2025, the 63-year-old chef, entrepreneur and TV personality says that Forbici is now his number one, stating simply: “Let the pizzas do the talking.”

Noting that he’s been all over the world and eaten at some of the most highly-rated venues in the world (especially given the fact that he is of Italian heritage on his mother’s side), including some of the most authentic you’ll find in the likes of Naples, Rome, and so on, he still seemed confident in his declaration.

Citing other famous names in the world of cooking, like Nancy Silverton of Pizzeria Mozza fame, as well as fellow TV chef and restaurateur Mario Batali, he says that the creative takes on Neapolitan ‘pies’ that master baker Davide Argentino is currently cooking up are nothing short of “delicious.”

Having first become famous down in the capital for its name, which simply translates as ‘scissors’ – also the chosen utensil given to diners for cutting up their pizzas – it proved a smash hit when it made its way up North, garnering massive opening day queues outside its restaurant on the corner of Cross Street.

Better still, you can now order it to take away, too… Game-changer.

Now, it goes without saying that we’re lucky enough to have many restaurants serving some of the authentic food from various regions all over Italy, not to mention a plethora of incredible pizza spots in the city centre and the wider boroughs.

It’s no exaggeration, therefore, to say that we struggle picking our absolute favourite from week to week at this point.

What we will say is that we bloody love Forbici, too, and are glad to see them getting so much recognition since arriving in the region.

Where do you think does the best pizza in Manchester?

The best pizza places in Greater Manchester — and there’s a lot of them
We know which of these Manchester pizza spots Marco Pierre White is voting for.
