He said: “I’ve... Читать дальше...

Britain's Prime Minister Rishi Sunak

Rishi Sunak appears to have made yet another social faux pas while trying to promote his latest policies online.

On X, formerly Twitter, the prime minister’s eight-second clip has been torn apart for inaccuracies, for making an everyday task a little strange – and for overall optics of the video.

The PM was seen pouring milk from a pint into a transparent cup of dark liquid, presumably tea or coffee, thus revealing the ”£900″ written on the side of the mug. Читать дальше...

The Traitors host Claudia Winkleman

Claudia Winkleman has admitted she’s not exactly sold on hosting the third season of The Traitors just yet.

The Strictly Come Dancing presenter has fronted both seasons of the UK reality show so far, which have been a runaway success for the BBC and dominated the pop culture conversation while they were on the air.

We’ve written before at HuffPost UK about how alligator penises are much more active than we’d imagined, and have even shared about how horrific the male bedbug’s anatomy is for their poor partners. 

So perhaps you can forgive us for expecting horrors to abound when it comes to hedgehogs doing the deed (all those spines!). 

We’ve been proven both right and wrong, it seems. While spikes aren’t an issue when it comes to mating, the beasties’ courting ritual is more likely to end in... Читать дальше...

Woof — it’s been a long week.

If you feel like you’ve been working like a dog, let us offer you the internet equivalent of a big pile of catnip: hilarious tweets about pets.

If anything is going to prove that there is a kink for almost anything, this is it. 

If you were as obsessed as I was with Netflix’s Floor Is Lava, or even if you remember 90s kids shows like 50/50, I can understand why you’d think game show contestants go out in a misery of slime, never to be seen again. 

Challengers, a movie starringZendaya,Josh O’Connor, and Mike Faist, is a sports drama whose love triangle plot has taken social media by storm. 

Jessica Gunning as Martha in Baby Reindeer

Jessica Gunning’s unsettling (though layered) performance in Baby Reindeer is undoubtedly one of the hit Netflix show’s strongest assets.

The British actor’s portrayal of Martha in the gripping drama has already been singled out for plenty of praise, and helped introduce Jessica to a whole a new audience on both sides of the Atlantic.

And while we can’t wait to see what she goes onto do next – what you might not realise is how much work you’ve probably already seen Jessica in. Читать дальше...

Little girl embracing her mother

We’ve all been there — feeling a sense of shame or guilt when you think you haven’t done enough as a parent. This feeling is popularly known as ‘mum guilt’ and it turns out, it’s very common.

For me it’s usually triggered when I feel like I haven’t given my toddler the most nutritious food if we’ve had a very busy day. Other times it’s when I have lots of housework to keep up with and I end up letting my toddler have some screen time.

But what... Читать дальше...

Kate Middleton and Prince William marked their 13th wedding anniversary on Monday with a sweet new photo of the couple. 

In a recent post shared with r/AmITheAsshole (AITA), Reddit user ClearCoffee7140 asked, “AITA for letting my kids disturb my husband during an important work meeting after he said he would handle them for a day to prove how easy my job is?”

We’ve written before at HuffPost UK about how the “deserts” in “just deserts” is written like the arid landscape, said like the sweet treat, and has a completely separate meaning to both of them that’s older than the Taj Mahal.

Zendaya has opened up about how a nod to one of her most famous works managed to make its way into her new film Challengers.
