McDonald’s fans set for frenzy as new meal inspired by ‘true global icon’ to hit restaurants in just weeks

MCDONALD’S fans are set for a frenzy as new meal inspired by a “true global icon” will hit its Irish restaurants in weeks.

The fast food giant has collaborated with the British artist Stormzy for their new limited-edition meal.

Stormzy has teamed up with McDonald’s for a special collaboration, unveiling his very own Famous Order, available exclusively in its Irish stores from February 12.

This move brings the popular Famous Orders concept, which first launched in the US with stars like Travis Scott and BTS, across the Atlantic to the UK and Ireland.

And the London based artist is now the first celebrity to have a custom order featured on the McDonald’s menu in Ireland.

The Stormzy meal includes 9 Chicken McNuggets alongside McDonald’s world-famous fries, a BBQ dip, an Oreo McFlurry, and a Sprite Zero.

What’s more, fans who buy the Stormzy meal in-store will also get a set of premium stickers to add some “Big Mike flair” to their tech tracksuit.

To order like the man himself, all you have to do is head to McDonald’s and say “Order Like Stormzy” at the counter or the Drive Thru.

In a recent statement, Stormzy said he was delighted to be part of his first collaboration in the UK and Ireland.

He said: ” I am so gassed for my McDonald’s order to be the first ever ‘Famous Order’ in the UK and Ireland. Never thought I’d have my own order on the official menu. That’s mad.”

McDonald’s UK & Ireland’s Chief Marketing Officer, Ben Fox, added that Stormzy is the perfect choice to represent the brand.

He said: “Stormzy is a McDonald’s fan through and through and a true global icon.

“This makes him the perfect superstar to bring to life the fact that no matter how famous you are, everyone has a favourite, go to, McDonald’s order.

“Introducing Stormzy’s signature order is an incredible moment for the brand; two icons colliding, giving everyone the chance to eat just like Big Mike at McDonald’s and, if they are lucky, to nab some exclusive branded merch.”

But the collaboration doesn’t stop there, as fans can also grab exclusive McDonald’s X Stormzy merch, including limited edition tumblers and digitally signed artworks.

For more details on the merch, McDonald’s Ireland said to keep an eye on their social media pages.

This comes after McDonald’s announced they have brought back a menu item which has not been seen in almost a decade.

ITEM MENU RETURN

The home of the Golden Arches has started selling its iconic McRib burger across its 1,300-plus sites in the UK and Ireland.

The savoury treat was first added to the main UK McDonald’s menu in 1981 but was taken off just four years later.

It comes with a boneless pork patty covered in barbecue sauce, topped with onions and pickles, and will cost €4.49 as an individual item.

Or punters will be charged €6.19 if they include it as part of a medium extra value meal.

The news comes as social media has been awash with rumours about whether or not McDonald’s would bring the much-loved burger back.

Maccies teased the return of its McRib with a test notification on the McDonald’s rewards app, sending customers into a frenzy.

I’m A Celeb’s Melvin Odoom reveals showbiz crush Carol Vorderman has GHOSTED him in brutal snub

I’M A Celebrity star Melvin Odoom has been ghosted by Carol Voderman after giving her his phone number.

Melvin, 44, made no secret of how much he fancies Carol, 64, during his stint in the jungle and attempted to pursue her once back in the UK.

But after reaching out to his showbiz crush online, Melvin has revealed she has brutally snubbed him.

Melvin admitted to his crushing blow while chatting to his former I’m A Celebrity campmate GK Barry for her Saving Grace podcast.

GK asked the telly and radio star: “Carol Vorderman. Have you had any update on that?”

Looking deflated, Melvin replied: “I’ll tell you the truth. I sent her a message saying, ‘Thanks for being a great sport but here’s my number. Give me a little call’.

“She’s not read it. It’s been three weeks. Why would you not even just read it?

“It’s just been left there and I check it once a week. And I’m like, ‘Oh, okay…’.”

GK – real name Grace Keeling – laughed hysterically at Melvin’s confession.

Melvin revealed his massive crush on former Countdown star Carol while in the Australian jungle last year.

He described her as his “dream woman”, slept on a pillow with her picture on and even acted out going on a date with her.

During the role play, Tulisa Contostavlos took on the part of Carol and Melvin asked her to accompany him to a Thai restaurant.

Carol later reacted to the bizarre scene in spin-off show I’m A Celebrity: Unpacked by sending in a voice-note.

In a flirty voice, she said: “Melvin, or should I say Jungle Man.. Melvin Vorderman… It sounds the same to me.

“Right, question. Have you been spying on me because just last night I had a little Thai food.

“I had pad Thai, quite a lot of it, with a little chicken satay on the side. It was delicious, Jungle Man.

“Anyway keep doing what you’re doing. You’re doing a brilliant job. See you on the other side.”

And this wasn’t the only one.

Carol sent in a second message for Melvin while claiming to be wearing a “wearing a red leatherette dress”.

I’m A Celebrity hosts Ant and Dec tried to play this one to Melvin once he had left the jungle but, due to technical issues, it failed to play.

He did, however, get to hear it while appearing on Unpacked.

Sam Thompson played the audio clip for Melvin after gifting him with a mug with Carol’s face on it.

“Well hello,” Carol began. “Oh Melvin, I’m blushing redder than that leatherette dress I’m wearing on your pillowcase.

“But I’ll be rooting for you all the way through. See you on the other side in the – two consonants – DMs.”

After it played, Melvin clapped loudly and shouted: “Yesssss!”

Haunting moment meat-cleaver killer, 42, boards bus in dressing gown after butchering girlfriend found with hands tied

THIS is the haunting moment a killer boarded a bus in his dressing gown after butchering his girlfriend to death with a meat cleaver.

John Baldwin, 42, also used knives when he attacked Eve McIntyre, 57, before leaving her for dead with her hands tied behind her back at their flat in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, in August.

On Thursday, he was sentenced to life in prison at Newcastle Crown Court with a minimum term of 18 years and 162 days for the “horrific” killing.

The footage, timestamped to just after 11pm shows Baldwin walking along a street wearing Eve’s kimono and slippers.

As a car drives past he continues his fast journey along the road, before later boarding a bus.

Footage captures Baldwin pushing his way onto the vehicle at around 11.20pm, still wearing the dressing gown and carrying the meat cleaver he used in the attack.

Baldwin is then later seen just minutes later at the front of the bus brandishing the cleaver and threatening the driver to take him to the town of Birtley.

Moments later, the footage shows him lose his balance as the vehicle comes to a halt.

At Newcastle Crown Court on Thursday, Baldwin was jailed for life with a minimum term after admitting to Eve’s murder and to affray and possession of a blade in a public place for his offences on the bus.

Eve’s body was found in the living room of their flat with 37 injuries to her head and body, including several to her neck.

Her daughter paid tribute, saying how her mum loved to read, cook, and spend time with her grandchildren.

She reminisced over Eve’s favourite phrase, “onwards and upwards, watch this space,” and said the “horrific” killing had robbed her of an opportunity to reconnect with her “deeply loved” mum.

Eve’s daughter told the court how her mum had been born and grew up in London but moved to Newcastle as a young woman.

She made the trek after suffering a miscarriage when her then-partner pushed her down the stairs.

Eve’s daughter believes her mum never got over this loss and that it affected her throughout her life and potentially led to her alcohol addiction in later years.

At the time of her murder, Detective Chief Inspector Matt Steel, of Northumbria Police’s Major Investigation Team (MIT), said: “This is an incredibly sad time for Eve’s family and our thoughts remain with them.

“Since the outset, our priority has been to get Eve’s family the answers they deserve – and ultimately ensure the person responsible for her death is rightly brought to justice.”

‘ABSOLUTELY NO JUSTIFICATION FOR THE COURSE OF EVENTS’

Baldwin and Eve had begun their relationship in 2020 and moved into a ground floor flat in Sunderland Road shortly after, prosecutor Francis FitzGibbon KC said.

The court heard how Baldwin was “controlling, abusive and violent” towards Eve, leaving her suffering constantly with visible bruises and injuries.

On top of kicking and punching the 57-year-old, Baldwin attacked her with knives and a hammer.

When challenged by neighbours on his behaviour he said: “I don’t hit her that hard.”

The drug user had taken £20 worth of heroin when he attacked her for the final time on 21 August in their living room.

Baldwin fled the scene with his meat cleaver weapon before police were called, following the bus incident.

He hid the cleaver under a hedge before violently resisting arrest, eventually succumbing to a baton, taser, and incapacitant spray used by cops, the court heard.

Officers then went to their flat where they found Eve’s body with wounds to her head, neck and torso, and her hands tied behind her back.

Det Ch Insp Steel added: “There is absolutely no justification for the course of events which has robbed Eve’s family of their loved one.

“While we understand no amount of sentence will ever replace her loss, we hope this outcome will provide Eve’s family with a chance to grieve and begin rebuilding from this awful period in their lives.”

The wicked weather destroyed power lines, left properties without water and pulled down trees that left some educational facilities with structural damage.

A briefing provided to ministers said schools that were closed due to power outages will be back up and running in time to reopen on Monday.

In Galway, Colaiste Bhaile Chláir and Educate Together Primary School remain closed as a battery fire incident in Claregalway Corporate Park enters its third day.

The fire broke out at the facility at around 7:15am on Wednesday, with no injuries reported at the time.

Today, a container is being monitored for lithium contamination, after the blaze at the Xerotech battery company on Wednesday morning.

The fire has been contained but concerns remain over keeping the batteries cooled to prevent them from reigniting.

 Galway County Council declared the scene as a “major fire incident” yesterday and said the evacuation of the two nearby schools and some nearby premises was taken as a “precautionary measure”.

Gardai yesterday assisted in the evacuation of the schools and neighbouring businesses, with parents urged to pick their children up from the evacuation points.

Pupils from Colaiste Bhaile Chlair were transported by bus to Claregalway GAA Club at Knockdoemore and pupils from Claregalway Educate Together were evacuated to the church in Claregalway.

It is understood that some 1,300 students were evacuated from their classrooms at Colaiste Bhaile Chlair.

And it has been reported that both schools remain closed this morning following the incident.

It’s understood that units of the Defence Forces ordinance core have been at the scene alongside a number of units of the fire service, Gardai and members of the Civil Defence.

Galway County Council said: “Parents and guardians are advised not to go to the schools, as access is restricted.

“Galway County Council urges the public to follow official guidance and avoid the area to allow emergency services to carry out their work.”

Xerotech is a battery technology company that makes batteries for industrial electrical vehicles.

It is understood that air quality testing will take place to determine if businesses can return to the corporate park later today.

ANOTHER SCHOOL EVACUATED

It comes after another school was evacuated in a separate incident that took place in Co Cork on Wednesday morning.

An electric cable is suspected to have caught on fire at Glasheen Boy’s National School, located on School Avenue, shortly after 8:30am.

No injuries were reported.

It is understood that staff at the primary school extinguished the minor blaze with a fire extinguisher.

Cork City Fire Brigade were alerted to the blaze and attended the scene within six minutes.

The school, which shares a campus with Glasheen Girls’ School, is located in Cork city centre.

Cork City Council confirmed in a statement that three pumps, a hydraulic platform and a senior officer from the Cork City Fire Brigade mobilised and were on the scene for one hour.
