Yes, 2020 has no doubt been an unprecedented year so far, but we promise this isn’t the most belated April Fool’s prank of them all.
Heinz has just launched a brand new range of ice cream kits – Heinz Creamz – and they come with a variety of bizarre sauces, including ketchup, mayonnaise and BBQ.
Considering July is National Ice Cream Month, perhaps it’s time to give these a whirl?
Okay, we’re certainly not expecting them to be up everyones’ street, but if you’re suitably intrigued by the idea of potentially pouring Heinz sauce all over your ice cream dessert instead of your chippy tea, then these are the choices of kits on offer to you – Heinz Ketchup Creamz, Heinz Mayo Creamz, Heinz BBQ Creamz, Heinz Saucy Sauce Creamz and Heinz Salad Creamz.

“Heinz sauces are here to help.”
“We give you the ultimate summer mash up – Heinz Creamz – A DIY ice cream kit, with an added summery squeeze of one of your favourite Heinz Sauces, so, you needn’t miss out on one of the sauciest of sweet treats (or six) during a summer of social distancing.”

“We know it might seem like a bit of a crazy combo to some, but anything is possible.”
The Heinz Creamz kits are retailing at £15 each.
If you like the sounds of them, then they’ll be available to get your hands on from 1st July at the Heinz to Homewebsite here.

‘Violent’ Salford man jailed after raping two women he met on dating apps

A man from Salford who police describe as ‘violent’ has been jailed after raping two women he met on dating apps.
Kenny Cox appeared at Manchester Crown Court for his sentencing last week (23 October) in relation to the rape of two women – one in November 2021 and one in September 2024.
The 46-year-old was arrested on 8 September 2024, charged and then remanded, before standing trial for both rapes in March 2025.
The trial, however, resulted in a hung jury, so a new trial commenced in August 2026, and Cox was then subsequently found guilty of two counts of rape and one of attempted rape.
It comes after, on 7 November 2021, one of the victims met up with Cox after connecting through a dating app. They went to a property in Salford, and after drinking alcohol together, the victim began to feel hazy and described herself as ‘feeling paralysed’ and ‘unable to move’.
It was during this time she was raped by the suspect.
After she was able to move, she left the property in a taxi and subsequently reported the incident to the police.
Cox was arrested on 14 November 2021 and bailed with stringent bail conditions not to contact the victim. But then, on 4 September 2024, he met up with a second victim, again after connecting through a dating app, and they went to a property in Salford where he raped her before she was able to leave and inform police.
Following the trial, Cox has been sentenced to 14 years in prison, with four years on licence.
He was also given an indefinite restraining order against the victims, and is subject to an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
“I would firstly like to commend the strength of the victims in this case,” commented Detective Sergeant James Walsh, of GMP’s Salford Criminal Investigation Department. “They have gone through this trial process twice now and each time have has shown incredible courage to ensure Cox was put behind bars.
“He preyed on these women and is an violent, sexual offender.
“I hope this sentence and the subsequent sexual harm prevention order imposed gives the victims a sense of justice to help them try to move forward from this and put Kenny Cox firmly in their past where he belongs.”

Teen arrested after hiding in wheelie bin following attempted burglary in Bolton

A teenage boy has been arrested after police found him hiding in a wheelie bin during the early hours of the morning.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) explained that, at around 3:50am this past Saturday morning (24 October), officers from the Bolton Neighbourhood Team were called to reports of a ‘disturbance’ on Ullswater Drive, in the Farnworth area of Bolton.
Upon arrival, police discovered that a group of people had attempted to break into a garden shed and steal items.
Following a police chase on foot and searches of surrounding gardens, officers found a 17-year-old boy hiding inside a wheelie bin, and he was subsequently arrested on suspicion of burglary.
A 16-year-old girl was also arrested on suspicion of attempted burglary, and they have both been bailed while the investigation continues.
Enquiries remain ongoing to identify and locate others who police believe to have been involved in the incident.
Sergeant Emily Fogg, from GMP’s Bolton Neighbourhood Team, said the boy ‘clearly did a rubbish job’ of hiding from police.
“Our policing teams are committed to rooting our criminality in our communities and will continue to seek justice for victims of this invasive crime,” Sergeant Fogg concluded.
