McDonald’s is launching a new menu full of limited-edition treats next month, and there’s an “unmissable duo” of desserts on the lineup.
Oh, and it’s an “unmissable duo” of pink desserts, no less.
Apparently set to “captivate the taste buds” of fast food fans across the UK, it won’t be long before Maccies lovers will get to tuck into the KitKat Ruby Chocolate McFlurry, and the Raspberry and White Chocolate Pie, as the two brand-new sweet treats will soon be available from McDonald’s restaurants nationwide.
A pink twist on the Nestlé classic chocolate bar, the KitKat Ruby Chocolate McFlurry is made up of soft dairy ice cream swirled with Ruby Chocolate, covered KitKat pieces and wafer bites, and topped with a sweet raspberry sauce.

If raspberry isn’t really your think though, don’t worry, as you can just keep it simple with the return of the KitKat Milk Chocolate McFlurry instead.

And if a pink KitKat McFlurry doesn’t make life rose-tinted enough for you as it is, you can pair it up with the all-new Raspberry and White Chocolate Pie too – which is described as being an indulgent crispy pink pastry filled with a smooth white chocolate ganache and raspberry compote.
The duo of desserts will officially be on the McDonald’s menu nationwide from Friday 9 February for a limited time only.

For anyone keen to get on the action a little earlier though, you can download the McDonald’s App for exclusive access two days before they arrive in store on 7 and 8 February.
It’s not just those with a sweet tooth that are being catered for with the upcoming menu reshuffle either, as there’s also a couple of returning fan-favourite burgers and massively-popular sides making a long-awaited comeback too.
It’s already been revealed that the iconic Breakfast Wrap will be available to tuck into from Wednesday 7 February, after it spent four long years off the menu.
The breakfast classic’s return also comes after thousands of fans put their name to several petitions calling for its comeback.
So, as you can probably tell, people were pretty chuffed to hear they’ll be able to order it again.
Alongside the Breakfast Wrap and the two new desserts, the fast food chain has announced that both the Big Tasty and the Big Tasty with Bacon will be making a “triumphant return”, as well as the beloved Mozzarella Dippers – which will be available either as a side of three, or in a Sharebox of nine, accompanied by a tangy salsa dip.
So if you’re up for a full-on fast food feast, then make sure you get yourself down to Maccies from Wednesday 7 February.

Manchester’s skyline crowned one of the most ‘beautiful’ in the world
Emily Sergeant
Manchester’s skyline is constantly changing.
Every day, it seems as though a new crane pops up, or plans get submitted to build another new building that’ll alter the landscape of our city, and although some residents aren’t the biggest fan of this, others can still see Manchester‘s beauty regardless.
There are some stunning – and truly iconic – skylines across the world, from New York City to Dubai, and everything in between.
And according to a new study, Manchester is one of them.
Although our city probably wouldn’t be the first to spring to mind when asked to name picturesque skylines, its growth and evolution means it’s been crowned the world’s 46th most beautiful, according to gaming platform Slingo.

Famous for iconic buildings like Beetham Tower and Deansgate Square that attract a huge number of visitors each year, Manchester’s skyline is said to be ‘one that every traveller needs to visit and admire in their lifetime’.
Manchester ranks among capital cities, business hubs, and popular tourist destinations on the list of iconic skylines from around the world, with New York City taking the coveted top spot and other legendary places such as Chicago, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Melbourne all featuring in the top 10.
To calculate the most aesthetically pleasing skylines, each city’s skyline was processed to determine its aspect ratio, with the renowned golden ratio (1.618) used as a benchmark for aesthetic balance, and then the final rankings were created by combining this score with the number of Instagram posts and hashtags for each city’s skyline.

Manchester’s skyline may already be ‘beautiful’ enough as it is, but of course, it’s set evolve in the future with skyscraper developments planned.
Trinity Islands, a proposed residential development comprising five towers, mixed-use developments St Michael’s and Viadux, and residential skyscraper One Heritage Tower, are just a few of the projects planned.
Manchester has changed a lot over the past decade, but how will it look in the next 10 years? That, we’ll just have to wait and see.

‘Open-minded’ single Mancs wanted for new series of hit reality show Love Is Blind UK
Emily Sergeant
The next series of hit reality dating show Love Is Blind UK is currently in the works, and Mancs are being encouraged to apply.
‘Open-minded’ and single Mancs that is, of course.
There’s no denying that Love Is Blind has become a smash-hit since the US version first aired on Netflix in the early days of lockdown in 2020, with four additional seasons airing afterwards, and the UK remake hosted by Matt and Emma Willis first hitting our screens last August.
If you’ve never had the chance to watch it before, the show promotes itself as a social experiment where single men and women look for love and get engaged, all before meeting in person.
The cast members are initially paired up in a speed-dating format, but later can choose to have longer dates, and the daters may extend a marriage proposal whenever they feel ready, but a couple only meets face-to-face for the first time after a marriage proposal is accepted.
The series has gained a cult following over the years, receiving mostly positive reviews by critics too.
Following the success of the first UK series, producers have now put a casting call live and are on the look out for people brave enough to fall in love without seeing their partner in person to apply – including Greater Manchester residents.
A casting call on the Love Is Blind UK website reads: “Love is Blind UK is currently on the lookout for single, open-minded individuals from across the UK and Ireland, who are ready to take the plunge into finding true love.

The show is all about discovering whether love really is blind, with participants growing deep connections with potential partners without the initial distractions of physical appearance.
“It’s an exciting and unique approach to finding love, and one that has proven successful in the past… so, if you’re ready for an adventure and want to explore the possibility of finding love in a new and exciting way, then why not consider applying for Love is Blind UK?
“It could be the start of an incredible journey towards finding the one.”
Fancy it then? Applications for the second series of Love Is Blind UK are now live, and you must be 18 years of age or over to apply, and have the right to reside in the UK or Ireland.
