AMAZON is selling a stylish pop up gazebo for less than £60 that is perfect for family gatherings.

The Outsunny Pop Up gazebo not only offers instant privacy – it is also popular with online customers.

And in another plus for the pop up, it is also a smash hit with consumer organisation Which?, scoring high marks in recent tests.

With forecasters predicting a sun-packed summer it couldn’t have arrived at a better time, making it a must-have item for BBQs, parties and festivals.

It is also the perfect addition for anyone planning an outdoor Father’s Day event on June 15.

The Outsunny 3x3m Pop Up Gazebo is currently on offer for just £55.99 on Amazon.

That takes 29% off the original price.

It’s also been awarded a brilliant 82% score by Which?, with particular praise for how easy it is to assemble.

This means there are no tools – or temper tantrums – required.

There is also a grey version of the Outsunny Pop Up Gazebo for sale on Amazon, which retails at £79.99.

This pop-up shelter is made for unpredictable summer weather.

Here are just some of the benefits:

• The canopy is UV and water resistant.
• This will provide shade on scorching days and protection when the heavens open.
• It comes with four zippered side panels – so you can go fully enclosed or keep it open for breeze and mingling.

There are other reasons to purchase this gazebo too.

This includes its steel frame, which has been powder-coated for durability.

The Outsunny 3x3m Pop Up Gazebo even includes eight drainage holes to stop water collecting on top.

Its exact dimensions are 2.95m x 2.95 m x 2.58m, with the door at a height of 1.96m.

The manufacturer recommends two to three people are on hand to assemble.

In addition to this, when you’re party’s over, it packs neatly into the included carry bag for easy storage and transport.

With multiple colour options, it’s also easy to coordinate.

But be quick, because the most popular shades and sizes tend to sell out fast when the weather forecast starts to change.

At such a low price, a proper gazebo like this one is a small investment that could save your whole day – whatever the weather.

A newspaper has sparked outrage by inviting readers to submit photos of women wearing skirts – adding that ‘the shorter, the better’.

Hungary’s government-funded newspaper Metropol published a two-page spread on Wednesday, featuring what appear to be covertly taken photos of women in skirts on the metro.

The campaign has been branded disturbingly invasive, and one that would invite further street harassment of women and girls.

It has triggered a wave of backlash online, particularly from TikTok users in Hungary who are calling out Metropol’s stunt as ‘sexist’.

Sophie Klein, a crochet artist from Budapest, was one of the women who posed – defiantly – in a short skirt holding a copy of the free newspaper.

She captioned the video: ‘Me every day since the biggest, tax-funded, pro-government newspaper in Hungary asked their readers to send in candid pictures of girls in short skirts they see in public under the motto of “the shorter, the better”.

‘I almost forgot to mention that this newspaper is of course conservative and supports family values.’

The 30-year-old told Metro about how Metropol’s campaign is only ‘fueling’ sexual harassment of women and girls

Sophie said: ‘This is what is shocking to me – one of the biggest, state-funded newspapers in the country is giving people, in a way, permission to take pictures of strangers in general, but also sexualise underage girls and women just because they are wearing short skirts.

‘I am already hearing of parents telling their daughters not to go out wearing short skirts, so that no one takes a picture of them.

‘Today is already over 30°C outside – the heat is unbearable.’

Sophie, who used to live in Berlin and returned to Budapest two years ago, said sexual harassment on the street in Hungary is ‘much more socially acceptable’.

‘People do not seem afraid to harass you on the street. It took me time to get used to this,’ she added.

‘Before the article, I was already not comfortable wearing skirts in public. But at the same time, I do not want to be controlled either by my personal insecurities or by Metropol.’

She said about the photos already published as part of the original story: ‘Those girls did not give their consent to have their pictures printed in a newspaper. Yes, you don’t see their faces, but it’s anyway very disturbing.’

Amid the backlash, Metropol has done a decent job in scrubbing any trace of the story from its website and social media accounts, but screenshots have been circulating online for a few days now.

Sophie also explained how the stunt is an example of a broader culture of institutional misogyny in Hungary, where women’s rights are undermined as a routine.

Under the premiership of Viktor Orbán, Hungary has turned back the clock on women’s rights – gutting any gender protections, sidelining women from the political field, and cementing a conservative vision of family that leaves little room for individual freedoms – like abortion.

The politician has positioned himself as a defender of traditional values on the world stage, resonating with like-minded politicians across Europe and the US like Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump.

The 2024 Gender Equality Index ranked Hungary 26th out of 27 EU member states based on its overall performance.

The country was also placed last in the domain of gender equality in positions of political and economic power.

An EU survey published in November found that 55% of Hungarian women had faced gender-based violence at some point and that 8% were currently living in an abusive relationship.

Metro has contacted Metropol for a statement.

Manchester United are ready to sell Alejandro Garnacho this summer amid interest from three Premier League clubs.

The Argentina international’s season ended in controversial circumstances following his outspoken reaction to being left out of the starting XI for the Europa League final defeat against Tottenham.

Garnacho was subsequently excluded from the matchday squad on the final day of the Premier League campaign, but did feature on the club’s post season tour of Asia.

Despite yet another display of petulance, Ruben Amorim maintained he saw a future for the winger at Old Trafford.

Little more than a week on since that public declaration, however, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that it has been agreed there will be a clean break between player and club this summer.

Erik ten Hag, newly installed as Bayer Leverkusen’s manager, is credited with an interest in a player who thrived under his tutelage at United.

The potential fee and wages, however, would represent a major stumbling block and, at this stage, it appears that Garnacho could well remain in England.

A trio of Premier League clubs have expressed an interest in a player whose future will be resolved in the coming weeks.

Chelsea looked at signing the 20-year-old in January and are in the market for attacking reinforcements, especially now they have reneged on their plan to turn Jadon Sancho’s loan move from United into a permanent deal.

The Red Devils, meanwhile, have already started their summer recruitment drive by agreeing a deal to sign Wolves’ Matteus Cunha, and are hopeful of agreeing a fee with Brentford for Bryan Mbeumo.

United were also boosted this week by Bruno Fernandes turning down a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia.

The 30-year-old Portugal international has been the subject of speculation linking him with a £100million switch to Al Hilal, with the Saudi Pro League side reportedly prepared to pay him £700,000 per week.

Former United and England defender Neville told Sky Sports News: ‘It’s significant.

‘I think that there was an element of this situation that meant United getting that level of money, for someone of Bruno’s age, obviously, you couldn’t say that it would have been a bad deal.

‘But, on the other hand, Manchester United’s star player – only player at times – for the last four, five, six years, has been Bruno Fernandes. He’s so important.

‘The fact that he wants to stay, the fact that he wants to go through this and come out the other side, because it would have been easy for him at the end of this season to say, ‘Look, I’m done here’, will endear him towards Manchester United fans even more.

‘To turn that money down at a point where Manchester United are at their lowest ebb and say, ‘No, I want to fight through this, I want to see it through the other side, I want to come out and achieve things,’ I think it says a lot about him as a person, as a character.

‘The club needs people who are going to run through a brick wall for them.’

'The Special One' has sent a clear message out over his future.

Customers have been urged to return the sweet treat.

The show had been greenlit for two seasons.

THE 1% Club’s questions once again proved to be too much for most after one query wiped out almost a fifth of the studio.

During one particularly savage round, 18 hopefuls were sent home when they failed to spot the correct sequences of letters. Did you manage to get it right?

The tricky question was a brainteaser[/caption]

The jaw-dropping moment unfolded in series two, episode five of the hit ITV quiz show, where host Lee Mack watched in disbelief as a simple-sounding question exposed just how tricky the game can be.

Players were shown four words and asked to spot the one that does not contain three consecutive letters from the alphabet.

The options were, Unopenable, Understandable, Unquestionable, and Undefineable.

It might look easy on the surface, but spotting sequences like ‘DEF’ or ‘RST’ hidden in the words proved harder than expected.

Players had just 30 seconds to examine the words and pick out the correct answer.

The answer turned out to be C, ‘Unquestionable’. ‘ Unopenable’ contains ‘NOP’, ‘Undefineable’ includes ‘DEF’, and ‘Understandable’ also hides ‘RST’. That left as the only one without a consecutive alphabetical trio, making it the right answer.

Eighteen contestants failed to spot it, knocking them out of the game in one fell swoop. The shock exit had jaws dropping in the studio.

Host Lee Mack kept his cool, but couldn’t hide his surprise as players who had breezed through earlier rounds were taken out by the sneaky wording.

The question came late in the game, reserved for the sharpest minds — but it still managed to trip up even the most confident contestants.

Previously, a whopping 20 players were wiped out in a brutally challenging picture question.

The result of the 30% question changed the face of the game, shedding half of the remaining current players.

Lee read aloud to the group: “How many RIGHT FOOTPRINTS can you see in the sand.”

An image was then displayed showcasing an assortment of footprints in the sand.

Players were then given 30 seconds to differentiate between the right and left feet.

The image then turned the eight right feet green in order to correctly display which of the options the players should have been looking at.

The 1% Club airs on ITV1 and ITVX.

AN abandoned fairytale theme park that cost just under £118million was forced to close after just four years.

Mirapolis opened in 1987 in Courdimanche, France – less than an hour via train from Paris – featuring French legends and stories throughout the attraction.

One ride was inside a statue of Gargantua[/caption]

Architect Anne Fourcade was inspired to create the park after visiting the Disneyland theme park in California in 1980.

Rides included ‘The Dark Ride’, which was inspired by ‘City of Ys’ legend.

The ride was modern for the time, with a terrifying sea monster, sunken head and an underwater scene that even had animatronics.

It was thought it could have been a rival to Disneyland Paris, which opened in 1992 and was around an hour away, with both based on fairytales and childhood stories.

Not only that, but it hoped to welcome as many as 600,000 tourists a year, according to AD magazine.

Yet according to the LA Times, the “French theme park experience began only in 1987,” which meant a boom in new attractions that weren’t being run correctly.

After just four years the park was closed, waiting to be rebuilt.

It was reportedly one of the biggest financial fails of the history of France.

The expectations for the park were said to have been too optimistic and were based off of incorrect market research.

This included looking at American tourists compared to French tourists, when it came to elements like eating habits and ticket prices.

Not only that, but the stories and characters the park was based on were mainly only known to French locals, unlike the international fame of Disney‘s characters.

After the closure of the amusement park back in 1991, it sat abandoned for a year waiting for a buyer.

When a buyer didn’t emerge, a crew of journalists and operators created a film on the closed-down park with the attractions being opened for one last time.

From 1993 onwards, the buildings were gradually demolished, with some of the rides sent to other amusement parks.

For example, the ride ‘Dragon des Sortilèges’ went to Spreepark and Les pirates went to Meli Park.

In 1995, arguably the most iconic part of the park – the Gargantua statue – finally lost it’s head.

The statue was the second tallest hollow state in the world behind the Stature of Liberty, and was of the giant from the story ‘The Life of Gargantua’ and of ‘Pantagruel’ from the 16th century.

The Dark Ride was located inside the statue and took guests on a journey through the giant’s body with 120 animatronics.

In 2017, the park would have celebrated its 30th anniversary and to mark the occasion, an exhibition was set up showcasing the history of the park.

And in 2018, plans were revealed to built an “eco-friendly tourist resort” on the same site although this was also abandoned in 2019.

There was also a £70million Disney-like theme park that nearly opened in one of the UK’s coolest cities.

Plus, the £346milion theme park that wanted to be the ‘English Disneyland’ in the 1980s… but was never built.

PRINCESS Lilibet has been hailed as a “jigsaw girl” following her fourth birthday photo.

On Wednesday, the daughter of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle celebrated her birthday – with the duchess sharing two photos of the young tot.

On The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show Charles Raw and Sarah Hewson spoke to host Bronte Coy, with Charles calling Lilibet a ‘jigsaw girl’[/caption]

One showed Princess Lilibet as a newborn, while the second was a picture of Lilibet in the present day.

However, both snaps showed a partial view of Princess Lilibet’s face for privacy.

Speaking on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show, former Sun Royal Correspondent and author Charles Rae discussed the intimate post, with host Bronte Coy saying it showed “almost Lilibet’s whole face.”

He said: “I like your definition of almost the full face. 

“I’m dubbing Lilibet the jigsaw girl because over the four years, all we’ve seen is an ankle, an arm, a bit of a nose, maybe a forehead.”

He added: “I’m all for them protecting their children.

“I’ve got no problems with that as well. 

“But, you know, this sort of half bits of the child, it doesn’t do anything for me.”

Royal Correspondent Sarah Hewson pointed out that the last time we had a proper portrait of Lilibet was three years ago to mark her first birthday. 

She shared: “Apart from that, we haven’t really seen her face. We see the backs of them. 

“We do know so little about Lilibet because they moved to California. 

“They are very protective over their children’s privacy and they have every right to do so.

“We know that their safety is a huge issue.”

We last got a glimpse of Princess Lilibet in a little beekeeper suit, which was shared by mum Meghan on Instagram – but it was taken from behind.

GUARDED FAMILY

Bronte continued: “They’re releasing bits of the kids, but in a very guarded way still. 

“But both Harry and Meghan have been accused in the past of hypocrisy in this area. 

“As a parent, of course, I do understand it is completely a prerogative what you share of your children online. 

“They have said things in the past about their privacy.

“And then now Meghan having launched her Instagram in January, she has been releasing more and more of the kids, which is her decision.”

Sarah claimed it is “fair play” what the Duke and Duchess of Sussex share on Instagram now that they are no longer senior working royals.

The couple famously stepped down in 2020 and now live in the star-studded Montecito California, in a £12million mansion with Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four.

Sarah added: “With Harry and Meghan, of course, we’d all love to see more because we’re really interested in those little children.

“But I think it’s entirely fair that they say, ‘you know what, it’s on our terms’.

“And that’s what this is, very much on their terms, Meghan on her own platform, the images they choose to curate.”

The Prince and Princess of Wales recognise George, Charlotte and Louis ‘play a public role’, according to experts[/caption]

She pointed out that Prince William and Princess Kate may have a different approach with their own kids, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, seven.

The royal expert explained: “I think with the Waleses, they recognise that their children are going to play a part in public life. 

“And they are being funded by the public as well.

“And they are going to take on significant roles in the future of the country and the monarchy.

“And therefore they recognise that they need to share. 

“But they’re also quite careful about when they share those moments of their children’s lives. “And there are pretty stringent restrictions on what can be shown and what can’t.”

Charles agreed, saying: “You know, their children are eventually going to be on the royal treadmill.

“But they are very cautious with the times that the children have access to the public, or the public have access to them.”

RHIAN Sugden has sent temperatures rising in her Instagram comments with a stunning photo posing in a sheer bra. 

The 38-year-old star looked sensational as she posed in a cream lacy lingerie set, celebrating her ‘big boobs’ ahead of breast reduction surgery.

Rhian has hit back at trolls for criticising her body choice[/caption]

Sweeping back her brunette locks into a ponytail, the model showed off her perfect complexion with a fresh-faced and make-up free look, pouting for the camera. 

She wrote in the caption: “A moment for my skin and another for the tig ol bitties.” 

Noting she had a “skin glow-up” to sort out post-pregnancy skin damage, Rhian added: “T minus 2 weeks before these absolute back breakers get an overhaul making me a perky Sue again.” 

The star is set to go under the knife for a breast uplift and reduction, after giving birth to her son George saw her breast size jump from a DD/E to an F cup.

She’s since explained that she’s been struggling with back pain and body discomfort, making her decide to head to Pall Mall Cosmetics to get it sorted. 

Rhian, who is married to actor husband Oliver Mellor, explained that her large chest has significantly impacted her life.

She added she longs to “longs to wear backless dresses, sexy lingerie, or even going bra-free.”

The former Page 3 Girl has since had to defend her decision after trolls attacked her for “fixing something that isn’t broken.” 

She said: “Boob experts (men) are messaging me telling me to just lose weight and they’ll shrink. Look at me!??

“I’m the same size I was, yet despite your ‘professional’ advice, my melons haven’t shrunk. Who’d have thought?”

She also revealed that her nipples are currently sitting 11cm lower than where they should be—another reason she is moving forward with surgery.

“I’m sharing my journey because this is a big and, yes, scary move for me, but it’s something I NEED to do for myself,” she said. 

“It’d be nice to have support, and if you don’t have anything nice to say, just don’t say anything at all.”
