The gardener has previously claimed he gorges just shy of 6kg of cheddar a week, but insists he is still able to maintain a healthy physique due to his occupation. Asked about her husband's cheese cravings, Tracey told Mail Online: 'Day and night he eats it. He's a pain in my side.

After 48 years of being sold out of supermarkets in the United Kingdom, the tangy soft drink will be replaced by a new version of Fanta with updated packaging and logo. Coca-Colla Europacific Partners (CCEP) confirmed the change in a tweet yesterday, noting that it would now be identified as Fanta Pineapple and Grapefruit, which would be available from today.

A LIV Golf representative has retaliated against the suggestion that chief Greg Norman (left) be relocated to a new role, saying the study is 'patently inaccurate.' According to a survey published on Thursday, the Saudi-backed chain had been in negotiations with former TaylorMade chief Mark King regarding Norman's replacement as CEO. But tour's Chief Director Majed Al-Sorour (right) has poured cold water on the allegations, defying The Telegraph's findings.

As a Saudi-funded series 'targets ex-TaylorMade CEO Greg Norman, LIV Golf chief Greg Norman may be recalled.'

According to a story, LIV Golf is currently in discussions with former TaylorMade CEO Mark King about becoming the Saudi-backed tour's CEO, bumping Greg Norman out of the hot seat. During its inaugural season, King is said to have attended many functions on the LIV circuit, including Yasir Al-Rumayyan, the governor of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), which funds the series. If LIV Golf brings him in, King may possibly replace Norman as the CEO of the breakaway country, with the Australian "moved upstairs." In addition, if the American takes over the leadership of the rebel series, it could ruffle even more feathers among the PGA Tour and DP World Tour.
