McDonald’s has revealed that six popular items are returning to the menu, and one of its fan-favourite burgers is making a permanent comeback.
By now, fast food fans are well used to the restaurant chain introducing different seasonal and limited-edition items to its ever-changing menu – with halloumi fries, Tiramisu McFlurries, and Spicy Chicken McNuggets just a few of the tasty treats people have been tucking into over the last few months.
But one of the limited-edition items fans loved the most had to be the McSpicy, right?
The McSpicy is was first introduced in late April last year, and although it seemed to prove pretty popular with people, the burger sadly didn’t stick around for very long and only enjoyed a limited run on the menu up until 6 June – until now.
McDonald’s has this week confirmed that the McSpicy is here to stay, and will join the McCrispy on the year-round menu after the latter became McDonald’s first permanent chicken burger in 15 years back in October 2022.
For those who didn’t get round to trying it the first time, the McSpicy is made up of a piece of hot and spicy 100% chicken breast in a crispy coating, with crunchy lettuce and a classic sandwich sauce, served in a sesame seed bun, and it’ll set you back just £4.79 on its own or £6.29 as a meal
The McSpicy isn’t the only burger McDonald’s is bringing back for a limited run either, as the chain has also announced that the iconic Grand Big Mac and Grand Big Mac with Bacon are returning to the menu too, starting at £4.89.

For those looking for something equally-spicy on the side, they’ll be pleased to know that the Chilli Cheese Bites are also making a comeback.

The Chilli Cheese Bites – which first appeared in McDonald’s back in 2021, and went down a treat – will be back with a portion of four chilli cheese bites in batter and a tomato dip priced at £2.29, or £6.29 if you fancy a sharebox version.
If all that spice has got tastebuds tingling a little too much, and you’re in the need of something to cool down and finish off the meal, then luckily, the massively-popular Galaxy Chocolate McFlurry and Galaxy Caramel McFlurry will also be available to buy from this week.

Those with a sweet tooth can took into either the full-sized or mini versions of the much-loved McFlurry.
Unlike the McSpicy though, you’ll need to act fast and get yourself down to your nearest Maccies soon if you’re keen to enjoy all of these other returning menu items, as they’re only around for a limited six-week run starting from today (15 February).

Channel 4 needs adult virgins with ‘intimacy issues’ for next series of hit reality show
Emily Sergeant
Channel 4 is back looking for more adult virgins to take part in the potential next series of its hit reality show Virgin Island.
If you’re unfamiliar with Virgin Island, it’s unlike anything ever seen on TV before.
First hitting screens back in 2024 and having run for two successful seasons now, Virgin Island follows the journey of a group of adult virgins who are whisked off to a Mediterranean island retreat to learn life-changing skills in the art of intimacy.
Working with leading international therapists, the aim is to help the young people overcome their fears and insecurities when it comes to intimacy and sex.
Channel 4 said it chose to commission the show after a recent study into intimacy found out that one in eight British 26-year-olds is, apparently, still a virgin.
A casting call for the new series on the Channel 4 website reads: “Are you a virgin and do you need help and guidance with your fears and insecurities around intimacy and sex? Double Act Productions is casting adults for a potential second series of Virgin Island.”
You just need to be over 21 years of age to take part in the show.
Fancy it then? Or know someone who may be up for the ride? Applications for the potential next series of Virgin Island are now open, and there’s still plenty of time left to put your name down.
You can find out more and register your interest here.

Pep Guardiola in talks over first international management role
Danny Jones
Football icon and Manchester City legend Pep Guardiola is reportedly set for his first job since leaving the Etihad Stadium, as the Catalan head coach looks like he could be set to make his move into international management.
The generational manager, who has undoubtedly become one of, if not the greatest of all time, left Man City at the end of last season after a decade in East Manchester.
Stepping away from the sky blue side with 20 trophies in 10 years, he’s won pretty much everything there is to win – at least at club level, anyway.
With that in mind, multiple outlets are now claiming that Guardiola is getting ready to make his debut on the international circuit, already being heavily linked with a role as part of ‘gli Azzurri’.
EXCLUSIVE: The FIGC has met with Pep Guardiola to convince him to take over as national team head coach, according to Sky in Italy 🚨🇮🇹 pic.twitter.com/qmzjunjur4
Yes, as per Sky News’ sporting arm over in Italy, Pep is now rumoured to be the next person to take the job in their national team, which would be his first proper senior position in international football.
According to Sky, the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) have already held meetings with the former Barcelona, Bayern Munich and City boss.
It remains unclear how advanced talks and/or negotiations have progressed up to this point, but it is said that fellow footballing veteran and AC Milan legend turned FIGC technical director, Paolo Maldini, has already travelled to meet the 55-year-old.
Believed to have been joined by former teammate and right-hand man Leonardo Araújo – who previously served as director at PSG – it looks to be more a case of whether Pep wants the job rather than if Italy want him.
From announcing a documentary series covering his final season at Man City, to even launching a dedicated ‘Decade of Pep’ fashion collection, it’s fair to say that both the club and the fan base are bidding a bittersweet goodbye.
Pep has already made it clear that he can’t see himself ever managing the Spanish national team, remarking: “I am a Catalan. I don’t see myself ever managing Spain.”
Meanwhile, other names rumoured as options for the Italian manager’s job include Andrea Pirlo and a return by fellow ex-MCFC boss, Roberto Mancini. Can you see Pep pipping any of these to the post?
As for his former club and ‘second home’, Cityzens will be glad to hear that while it may be all change over at the Etihad Campus, there is plenty to be hopeful about – including some steps more in the right direction when it comes to tickets.
