Viennetta Vanillas have been pulled from sale at Tesco because milk and soya are not listed in English on the ingredient list.

Parent company Unilever, which owns the Wall’s brand which makes the Vanillas, recalled the ice creams ‘as a precaution’ after a labelling error meant allergens and product information were written in Spanish.

The product and ingredients themselves remained the same as the UK ice creams, according to Unilever. 

The multinational corporation has contacted the relevant allergy support organisations and issued a point of sale notice to its customers amid fears that people with allergies would be hit by the error. 

Unilever added that the incorrect labels only applied to 650ml packets of Viennetta Vanillas in Tesco stores in the UK. 

Products in Northern Ireland were not affected by the error.

In a notice about the recall, the Food Standards Agency said: ‘If you have bought the above product and have an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents and/or an allergy to soya, do not eat it. Instead, contact the Unilever careline team for further guidance on 0800146252 or email ukicare@unilever.com.’

This comes after an urgent ‘do not eat alert’ was issued by the consumer giant last week with Magnum Classic ice creams recalled over fears they ‘may contain metals.’

The Food Standard Agency (FSA) issued the warning last Friday about three-packs of Magnum Classic Ice Cream.

The affected products had a best before date of 11/2025 and one of the following batch codes – L3324, L3325, L3326, L3327 or L3328.

In a product recall notice released by Unilever, the company said: ‘Magnum is taking the precautionary measure of recalling a limited number of Magnum Classic Ice Cream Sticks 3x100ml due to internal safety checks showing that they may contain small pieces of metal.

‘The safety of the people that buy and use our products is always our number one priority which is why we are recalling these products.

‘No other Magnum products are affected – we apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your cooperation.’

One of the BBC’s highest profile radio presenters has apologized for comments about people with glass eyes in a recent video to promote his new children’s book.

Greg James, who presents BBC Radio One’s flagship breakfast show, and former newsreader Chris Smith appeared in a video to promote The Twits Next Door, their co-written book inspired by Roald Dahl’s famous characters The Twits.

Viewers watched them discuss how to make their fictional characters “more revolting… really gross and horrible.” The BBC reports that when illustrator Emily Jones suggested giving characters a glass eye, Smith responded: “That’s it. What a disgusting pair of Twits.”

After the video appeared, criticism of the pair included a statement from The Royal National Institute of Blind People, which the BBC quotes as saying:

“When there’s positive representation of disabilities in children’s books, children with disabilities feel seen and heard, and their friends and classmates treat everyone the same.

“There is nothing at all revolting about prosthetic eyes, we think they’re brilliant.”

James later posted on X (formerly Twitter) his regret at the comment, writing:

“We are so sorry to have caused offence with the launch video. It was absolutely not our intention. And we apologise unreservedly. It’s now gone.

“We understand that words matter and we pride ourselves on championing and welcoming everyone into the magical world of children’s books. We would never dream of deliberately setting out to exclude anyone. With the glass eye comment, we were attempting to pay homage to one of the Twits’ most famous pranks involving a glass of beer in order to remind people of Dahl’s infamous terrible two. It’s in no way a suggestion that this forms any part of the plot of the new story nor was it our intention to suggest that it was in any way disgusting. It’s unfortunate that the word disgusting appears to be a direct comment on that. That’s an error on our part. We are devastated that it’s come across like this but completely understand why there is anger. And we appreciate everyone rightly calling it out. We hear that fully, we’re so upset that we made a mistake but we’re still incredibly proud of this book and we’re excited to get out there and share it with young readers all over the world x

James and Smith have co-authored The Twits Next Door – one book in a new series commissioned by the Roald Dahl Story Company. Netflix purchased the rights to the Roald Dahl estate in 2021.

A rapist has been jailed for eight years after police detectives proved his victim could not have consented to having sex because she had suffered a seizure.

Mark Anderson raped the woman in August last year at his home in Hackney, East London. The victim recalled being cold and feeling strange at the time – sensations she knew meant a seizure was coming on.

The victim said the incident had left her ‘scared to sleep and to be awake’ stressing that she was used by Anderson as a ‘piece of meat’.

Wood Green Crown Court heard how when the victim confronted Anderson, she said ‘You raped me’ to which he responded ‘Yeah good!’.

In other messages, Anderson told the victim: ‘I hope you have another fit and die’ and ‘I just want you to know you are an ugly ****, your body is horrible.’ 

Mark Anderson of Shafton Road, Hackney has been jailed for eight years 

Mark Anderson sent the woman a series of messages. In one, he told the victim to have ‘another fit and die’

Police said the victim didn’t recall much from the attack on August 6 but was aware that Anderson was having sex with her, and of being unable to consent due to her body being frozen. 

Due to the seizures, she lacked any sort of energy and it was only after speaking with a close family member that she had challenged him on it.

The victim reported the incident to the Metropolitan Police the same day and urgent enquiries began.

Detectives obtained the victim’s medical records and spoke with medical professionals, which proved that she had suffered a number of severe migraines which had on occasions led to a loss of consciousness.

Anderson claimed the victim had never been formally diagnosed with a medical condition, questioning the legitimacy of her claims. 

However, determined detectives presented a number of text messages where Anderson had referenced her seizures and had been aware of separate medical episodes. 

Police said this was fully corroborated with the victim’s GP who presented records proving the medical incidents as recurring.

Officers trawled through months of messages between the victim and the suspect and uncovered a series of malicious texts where the victim had been insulted, belittled and degraded by Anderson. 

This was used to disprove his original assertions that their relationship had been one of a respectful nature.

In an impact statement, the victim said: ‘It’s hard to know where to start with how my life has been impacted.

The malicious texts where the victim had been insulted, belittled and degraded by Anderson

‘The nightmares are so realistic, reliving the moment – that moment I opened my eyes and he was on top of me. I’d wake up crying then start panicking.

‘Scared to sleep, scared to be awake. I have not only had my dignity stolen, my soul has been stolen, being used as a piece of meat to satisfy his sick sexual needs.

‘The fear has constantly got me to the point of feeling suicidal. Lack of sleep and constant fear and anxiety brings my seizures on, the very thing that enabled him.

‘The reality is, wherever I go, what happened to me is always there in my head. I am not the same person I once was. I can’t go out on my own as I am always looking over my shoulder.

‘I used to be so confident, fiery and full of life, now I am just an empty shell.’

SOIT officer Hayley Goss said: ‘ I am incredibly proud of the strength and courage the victim has shown throughout – her sheer determination to stand in the witness box and confront the man that had committed such a horrific crime against her. I am glad she has finally managed to get the justice she truly deserves.’

Detective Constable Daniel Neville who led the investigation said: ‘This man took advantage of the victim knowing full well that she was vulnerable and could not consent due to her medical condition.

‘Anderson claimed he had engaged in consensual sex, but the wealth of evidence we presented to the courts meant his lies were uncovered.’

DC Neville added: ‘I want to thank the victim, for her courage and resilience throughout the investigation. I hope that the result at court will help to provide some justice.

‘I also hope this sentence will encourage anyone who may have been subject to any type of sexual offence to come forward and talk to us. 

‘We will listen to you and we will take appropriate action to hold those responsible to account.’ 

Anderson also received a three-month sentence for assault, to run concurrently. 

The assault charge relates to an incident at a bus stop on Victoria Park Road, London in May last year when two members of the public had to intervene after Anderson threw a bag of clothes at the victim and became verbally aggressive. 

There wasn’t a case of dry eye to be found at San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital, as the cast of The Good Doctor said goodbye for the last time.

After seven seasons, the ABC medical drama is coming to end. Thus, the cast shared tributes on Instagram about the show and looked back on all they achieved.

Paige Spara, who plays Dr. Shaun Murphy’s (Freddie Highmore) wife Lea, wrote, “Heading into work this afternoon for the last time.”

Christina Chang, whose character was Dr. Audrey Lim, showed one scene captured on production screens and wrote, “The Good Gang.” The actress also hailed costar Richard Schiff, who played Dr. Aaron Glassman, Shaun’s longtime friend and hospital president.

Fiona Gubelmann, whose character was Dr. Morgan Reznick, posted a photo on Instagram with the actress in-between Chang and Lee.

In the caption, she wrote: “Love these two 🩷 @thegooddoctorabc #thegooddoctor #parnick #goodbye #farewell @willyunlee @thechristinachang_”

The Good Doctor premiered in September 2017. The show has been nominated over the years for a Golden Globe for Highmore’s portrayal and three Critics Choice Awards for Highmore and Schiff’s performances.

Australians across four states will get an extra hour of sleep on Sunday morning thanks to the end of daylight savings.

Clocks will revert to Australian eastern standard time at 3am on Sunday, which means the time will jump back to 2am for people living in NSW, Victoria, the Australian Capital Territory, Tasmania, and South Australia.

This means all of Australia’s eastern states will reunite with Queensland and run on the same time zone, with the sunshine state opting out of daylight savings.

South Australian and Northern Territory residents will also both run on Central Standard Time.

Residents in Queensland and Western Australia will not need to wind their clocks back as these states do not observe daylight savings.

Australians in NSW, Victoria, ACT, South Australia and Tasmania will gain an extra hour of sleep before the morning (pictured Bondi at dawn)

Australians will find it a little more straightforward without daylight savings, as the nation drops two of the five separate time zones that were in place during summer.

The Northern Territory, South Australia, and the outback NSW town of Broken Hill will all be half an hour behind on Australian Central Standard Time (ACST).

Western Australia will be a full two hours behind the AEST states and territories on Australian Western Standard Time (AWST).

Daylight savings is set to return at 2am on October 6, when Australians in most parts of the East Coast will turn their clocks back one hour for an extra 60 minutes of sunlight in the evenings.

SPOILER ALERT! This story contains plot points from Friday’s episode of Fire Country on CBS.

In Friday’s episode dubbed “This Storm Will Pass,” the Edgewater firefighters encounter their first firenado that ends up taking the life of someone very close to the team.

Here, showrunner Tia Napolitano and executive producers Joan Rater and Tony Phelan explain why it made sense to say goodbye to a character who was first introduced in season one, and how the Cal Fire team — especially Bodi (Max Thieriot) — will respond going forward.

DEADLINE: So was this your first firenado?

JOAN RATER: Yes, we’re firenado virgins?

TIA NAPOLITANO: We ask all the writers to come in with the most interesting incidents, big or small, at the top of the season. Someone pitched a firenado. Obviously that’s on the big end of the spectrum and we all gravitated toward it really early. Everything we do is inspired by real events and the best ones are, ‘oh my God, that actually happened?’ And that actually happens.

TONY PHELAN: It was difficult to shoot and I think that our director Eagle Egilsson did a fantastic job. It was figuring out that confluence of CGI and practical effects.

RATER: We’ve gotten really good at going, ‘oh God, this sounds expensive. How can we make it cool but affordable?’ It’s really freaking cool and we did it in a budget, so we’re pretty proud of it. And a lot of it goes to Eagle who is a sort of genius at figuring out how to do all that stuff and make it look cool. 

PHELAN We had stunt people on wires. Every midseason you want a big event. We thought firenado was a good big event to kick off the second half of the season.

DEADLINE: So you killed off Cara. When you first hired Sabina Gadecki, did you tell her ‘just FYI, your character is going to die in season two?’

PHELAN: We didn’t know. When it was clear that the journey of our characters with this young girl Genevieve [Alix West Lefler] was going to include so many of them, we were like, ‘what would be a loss that the audience would really feel, that our characters would feel and would further deepen the plight of this girl? Who was really going to be her parent?’

DEADLINE: Is this your first big death on the show?

PHELAN: We had a death last year of a female convict camp worker that was pretty impactful. But yeah, this is a big one in terms of just of how many lives she touched and the fact that our characters had known her growing up.

DEADLINE: So how long before you answer the question whether Bodi is, indeed, Genevieve’s dad?

PHELAN: That’s revealed at the end of episode six.

DEADLINE: Can you say what will happen with Jake [Jordan Calloway], who was in a relationship with Cara?

RATER: His poor heart is going to be sad. The audience will see in episode six that Vince [Billy Burke] and Sharon [Diane Farr] know their way around grief because they lost her daughter. Our show is really about this found family. It’s about this small town, it’s about how everybody pitches in. There’s a beautiful scene in episode six where Vince is like, ‘don’t isolate, we’re here for you.’ And I think the rest of the season will be Jake grappling with his grief and everybody trying to help him with it.

DEADLINE: For a show about firefighters, you really lean in to the personal stories.

NAPOLITANO: It’s about striking that balance. And what I keep saying about episode five is that every scene could be an act out in that the action is huge, but the emotional heft is just as huge. It’s why it’s so satisfying to watch. It’s a balancing act every episode, but the deeper we get into the show, I think the more interested all of us as makers of the show are with the relationships, deepening them.

DEADLINE: What more can we expect on the personal side this season?

NAPOLITANO: We’re going to meet Gabriela’s [Stephanie Arcila] mom, who’s really going to be a story starter for Gabriela and for her ex, Manny [Kevin Alejandro]. So she enters our world in a very fun way.

PHELAN: And we also have a real existential threat to Three Rock Con Camp in the latter half of the season, as well as who is going to be this young girl’s family because there are a lot of people at play. That’s an issue that we’re going to continue grappling with as we move forward.

DEADLINE: How long will Bodi remain in cuffs?

RATER: You’ll get some answers this season.

Fire Country airs Fridays on CBS.

The heartbroken parents of missing Jack O’Sullivan have said they retrace his final walk every day in the hopes of finding something that might tell them what happened.

The 23-year-old law graduate vanished after going to a house party on Hotwell road in Bristol in the early hours of March 2.  

His mother Catherine O’Sullivan recalled how she woke up just after 5am that morning and ‘instantaneously’ knew ‘something’s wrong’. As she quickly realised her son was not home and using Find My Friends could see he was not at the location of the party. 

Her and her husband, Alan, immediately went out to search for him, in what would soon be the first of many days of ‘hell’.

‘We live hour by hour. You can’t plan for the next day; we just communicate with police and we wait. We wait,’ Ms O’Sullivan told the Telegraph.

Jack, who turned 23 on March 28, nearly a month after his disappearance was described by his mother as sporty, determined and gentle. 

She said: ‘He put tremendous amount of effort into his next steps. He had already secured summer placements which are really hard to get. But he put in 45 applications.’

She added: ‘Jack is a really good chap. He’s very gentle. He just wanted to make sure everybody else was OK.’

He had gone to meet friends in Bristol for a usual Saturday night out, travelling by bus at 8.20pm from his village Flax Bourton to a Wetherspoons pub in the city. 

At 10.45pm he texted his mother that they had moved on to a house party and safely arrived at the new location. 

‘All good, keys are safe,’ he wrote. And at 1.52am he sent her a final text, saying he was OK. 

Then shortly before 3am Jack left the party alone, CCTV has captured part of his movement through the city, leaving the house party, crossing the Junction Swing Bridge and turning down Brunel Lock Road at about 3.15am.

He had gone to meet friends in Bristol for a usual Saturday night out, travelling by bus at 8.20pm from his village Flax Bourton to a Wetherspoons pub in the city 

Then shortly before 3am Jack left the party alone, CCTV has captured part of his movement through the city, leaving the house party, crossing the Junction Swing Bridge and turning down Brunel Lock Road at about 3.15am 

He called a friend who was still at the party at 3.24am. When the friend returned the call ten minutes later, Jack answered the phone and said ‘hello’ but nothing else. The call lasted for 58 second before being disconnected. 

Ms O’Sullivan said the friend left the party soon after. ‘She tried and tried to get hold of him but couldn’t. She sent messages to him saying, ‘please let me know where you are, please let me know you’re OK’ and ‘please let me know when you get home’.’ 

His family have now taken to walking his final route every day and at different times of the day just to try and experience what it might have been like for Jack, and any indication as to what could have happened. 

‘I wanted to see if it was dark, and how it felt. But it’s incredibly well-lit,’ they said.

 Officers said his phone remained active on the Find My Friends app up until 6.44am.

Since then his parents have had to hear the heartbreaking news from the police that they are working on a hypothesis that he may have fallen into the river. 

They also approached the family with a key that was found by authorities that they thought might have belonged to Jack. But it was not his.   

Senior investigating officer DI Jason Chidgey said officers had used drones, dogs and dive teams in the River Avon as part of a ‘significant number of searches’ in the area.

Detectives have also carried out extensive CCTV trawls and house-to-house enquiries, as well as looking at Jack’s phone to work out why that was active after his last confirmed sighting.

However, Det Insp Chidgey admitted his team was still trying to establish Jack’s movements following the last sighting of him on CCTV.

He said: ‘This is an incredibly difficult and distressing time for Jack’s family and friends and we are continuing our efforts to try and find him.

‘The smallest bit of information could make a huge difference in our investigation so, even if you don’t think it is important, we encourage people to still get in touch with us.

‘We are keeping an open mind about where Jack is but this is very out of character for him and we have been working hard to track his movements that night.’

Mr O’Sullivan is described as white, about 5ft 10ins (178cm) tall, of slim build and with short, brown hair.

He was last seen wearing a quilted green/brown Barbour jacket over a beige woollen jumper, navy chinos and brown leather trainers with white soles.

A battle for the ages is shaping up on Sunday to decide the NCAA Women’s National Basketball championship.

No. 1 seed Iowa, led by all-time NCAA scorer Caitlin Clark, will face undefeated South Carolina, a team hungering for revenge after being dumped last year by the Hawkeyes in the semifinals.

The championship game is set for 3 p.m. Sunday at Rocket Mortgage Field House in Cleveland, Ohio.

Iowa had to sweat a little at the end before winning. UConn had a shot to potentially tie or win the game, but an offensive foul, a Clark free throw, and some nervous inbounds plays had to b endured before the final score of 71-69 was in the books.

Clark had 21 points in the victory. Hannah Stuelke led the Hawkeyes with 23 points. Paige Bueckers had 17 for UConn.

In the earlier game, South Carolina had no problem with North Carolina State, rolling past them by 78-59.

Kamilla Cardoso dominated inside for South Carolina, despite playing with a sore knee in the second half.

Cardoso scored 22 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, and the Gamecocks used a third-quarter blitz to pull away. South Carolina (37-0) is the first team since 2016 to take an undefeated record into the women’s title game.

These 75 foreign men (and two women) have made a mockery of British hospitality. Hailing from a multitude of nations, they have been convicted in the UK of deplorable crimes including paedophilia, rape, knife attacks and murder.

Many of those listed here, all of whom claimed asylum, have slipped into the country illegally by boat or by hiding in a lorry before claiming refuge on our shores. Almost all will probably still be here, either serving time in prison or remaining at large.

The map compiled by the Mail shows that asylum offenders have spread around the country, with bigger cities and towns feeling the brunt of their criminal behaviour.

More than 100,000 migrants, many undocumented, have crossed the Channel on small traffickers’ boats alone in the past five years, 92 per cent of whom claimed asylum. Others have arrived hidden in vehicles and at airports.

Last year, 62,000 migrants were granted asylum as the Government controversially fast-tracked cases in an attempt to slash the queues.

Last week, Tory former immigration minister Robert Jenrick called on the Government to pass a law forcing the nationality and asylum status of criminals to be recorded by English and Welsh courts, so the British public know what is happening.

To take just one case highlighted here. Afghan asylum seeker Rasuili Zubaidullah, 22, drugged, raped and killed a 13-year-old girl in Vienna, Austria, in 2020. He wrapped her body in a carpet and dumped it under a tree in the city centre.

Weeks later, Zubaidullah sailed across the Channel on a trafficker’s boat and was settled in a hotel in Whitechapel, East London, at the taxpayer’s expense. It was only when the Austrian police traced his arrival into this country that he was deported to face justice.

The behaviour of this man — and the others named here — should send shockwaves through our beleaguered asylum system.
