Ever bitten into a Greggs pasty and thought to yourself: ‘Hmm. This is good. But I do wish this delicious taste was actually a pizza’?

No? Us neither. But here we are.

Manchester-based pizza joint Crazy Pedro’s has created the fast food mashup no one actually asked for, but everyone – on some deep, dark level – has always wanted.

It’s a Greggs pasty pizza. It’s called the Dreggs pizza. It has sausage rolls on it. This feels deeply wrong.

Instagram isn’t real. Sadly, we don’t all spend our lives drinking cocktails on sunny rooftop bars.

We don’t all have six packs and thigh gaps. And, to be honest, we don’t all want them either.

British model Iskra Lawrence is the latest Instagram star to show just how misleading some of the images shared on social media can be.

Iskra is the face and body of Aerie Realads, which uses un-retouched images and models of all shapes and sizes, to show beauty isn’t one-size-fits-all. The 25-year-old has also spoken out against bodyshaming on social media and is a vocal body-confidence campaigner.

If the increasingly irritating ‘contouring goals’ phrase was created for anyone, it’s 80-year-old Livia. Her bronzing skills are on point.

Livia is the grandma all beauty obsessives on the internet are currently spilling their lip stains.

Why? Because Livia gets frequent makeovers from her granddaughter, makeup artist Tea Flego. Tea started sharing photos of her nan’s gransformation on Instagram, where everyone fell in love with Livia and her flawless false lashes.

Livia is now known as ‘contouring grandma’ or ‘glam-ma’, and her look has – according to Tea – inspired her friends in the nursing home to try out contouring for themselves.

So, yeah. Livia… Read the full story

Knowing Sebastian is a huge Star Wars fan, Rob dressed up in a Darth Vader costume and, having first asked his wife for permission to wake their son up in a way that ‘could potentially cause years of therapy and counselling’, he crept into Sebastian’s room.

Poking him with a light saber until he finally awoke, Rob loomed over the bed in his Darth Vader costume until Sebastian woke up, rubbing his eyes and looking pretty surprised.

So naturally, Rob challenged him to a fight. To which Sebastian quickly obliged… but only for a minute.

We are Brits. This is what we do.

Grab your sunglasses, put on a jaunty hat and get yourself down to one of London’s best outdoor bars.

Just get there early because everyone else has had the same idea.

Including plus-size women in the world of fashion is important. We all know that.

But as great as it is to see plus-size models like Ashley Graham seeing success, the lack of inclusiveness in the fashion industry starts long before an ad campaign is shot.

So it’s time to go right back to the source: fashion design. How are designers supposed to include a diverse range of sizes when they’re only given sample size mannequins on which to base their designs?

If there’s one thing all Italian food obsessives living in the UK know, it’s that it’s impossible to get the real deal anywhere else but the real deal, aka Italy.

Here’s all the other thing you pizza fiends know.

1. Most pizza restaurants just aren’t going to cut it. The pizzas are too thin and crispy and resemble the Roman style more than the holy grail of pizzas traditionally from Naples. Plus even a Margherita normally costs £8 or more, talk about expensive.
