Eagle-eyed shoppers have spotted a Deep Heat bubble bath soak in Home Bargains this week and people are going mad for it on social media.
Even better still, it’ll only set you back £2.49 – a small price to pay for a pain-free lifestyle, right?
A post featuring the product was shared to the ever-popular Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook yesterday and many eager shoppers seemed keen to head to their nearest Home Bargains branch in the hopes of getting their hands of a bottle of the pain-relieving potion.
People who have used the Deep Heat Foam Bath in the past have already branded it “amazing”.

Proving extremely popular, the post went on to amass well over 7.8K interactions and 3.2K comments from group members sharing the news of the bargain product with their friends and family.
Of course though, the praise for the product was understandably combined with one overriding question – does it not burn? You know, in areas you don’t want it to burn?

Let’s be honest, we were all thinking it.

Thankfully though, the Facebook user who shared the bargain purchase did very comically clarify that “my lady parts have not disintegrated or set on fire, nor have my nips frazzled. I’m not walking like John Wayne and I didn’t scream the house down when I got in”, which is about as glowing of a review as you could possibly hope for this product.
The Deep Heat Foam Bath is available at Home Bargains stores nationwide for £2.49 per 350ml bottle.

NHS urgently needs 500,000 men to take part in ‘major’ cancer research programme

Half a million men are needed to take part in a ‘major’ cancer research programme.
From this week, the NHS has announced that it will begin contacting 500,000 men to invite them to join a major research programme that will work to improve the vital early detection and treatment of prostate cancer.
Men who have had or are living with prostate cancer will receive letters and text messages explaining how they can register to take part.
It’s hoped that this will become one of the world’s largest prostate cancer studies.
Formally named ‘Prostate Progress’, the study is designed to speed up the development of better tests, treatments, and care – with the NHS aiming to recruit as many participants as possible to improve how prostate cancer is diagnosed and treated, as well as understanding the side effects of treatment and the impact they have on quality of life.

Prostate cancer is now the most common cancer in the UK, with around 60,000 new cases diagnosed every year and over 12,000 deaths annually.
Men who join ‘Prostate Progress’ will be asked to complete questionnaires about their experiences of living with the disease every few months.
Verified researchers will then be able compare men’s experiences of living with prostate cancer against their NHS records – including their symptoms and quality of life.
The NHS says it is ‘particularly keen’ to hear from black men for the programme, as they are at approximately twice the risk of developing prostate cancer – with around one in four black men in the UK expected to be diagnosed during their lifetime.
“Better representation will help researchers understand and address differences in diagnosis, treatment and outcomes,” the NHS said in a statement.
“Prostate cancer is now the most common cancer in the UK,” explained Health Minister, James Frith. “Every piece of data we gather brings us closer to the tests and treatments that future patients will depend on to live well for longer.
“Prostate Progress has the potential to become a hugely important resource, but only if men come forward and share their experiences, so I encourage anyone who receives an invitation to sign up.
“This is the kind of innovation the government’s National Cancer Plan is designed to support, making the NHS a world-leading destination for cancer research and ensuring patients across the country can help shape the treatments of tomorrow.”

A man has been charged and publicly named after the stabbing of a teenager in the Northern Quarter last week.
Bandar Alzahar has been charged with attempted murder and possession of a bladed article in a public place, and has been remanded in custody ahead of a scheduled appearance at Manchester & Salford Magistrates Court today (Monday 3 August 2026).
The charges come after a 19-year-old man was stabbed in the Northern Quarter, in Manchester city centre, last Friday (31 July).
The shocking incident took place in broad daylight at around 12:50pm on Church Street.
After police attended the scene, they ‘quickly located’ a suspect – initially described as just being a man in his early 20s – at Manchester Airport within three hours of the incident occurring, and he was subsequently arrested on suspicion of Section 18 assault.
The victim sadly remains in hospital in a stable condition but with life-threatening injuries, police have confirmed.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) are still appealing to the public for information. In a public plea, police wrote: “We are still asking for information from anyone that may have witnessed the incident on Church Street to get in touch with us.
“This includes any CCTV, mobile phone or Dashcam footage that may assist our enquiries.”
Any information can be submitted to GMP by calling 101, quoting log 1580 of 31/07/2026. Alternatively, you can contact independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
