STRICTLY star Wynne Evans is to marry his girlfriend after proposing on holiday in Morocco, The Sun can reveal.

The happy couple are expected to wed next year.

Wynne shared snaps of the happy occasion and told fans: “Big news… I got engaged!

“This weekend in Morocco, somewhere between the couscous, the camels, and me limping around the souks like a man with no spatial awareness, I proposed to Liz — and she said yes! (No take-backs, I’ve checked.)

“She’s clever, she’s kind, she’s got excellent taste in men. Absolutely no idea how I pulled that off, but here we are!

“Feeling very lucky, very happy, and just a tiny bit smug.”

A source told The Sun: “It has been a tumultuous six months for Wynne but Liz has been his absolute rock throughout.

“Finally some wonderful news for Wynne and his inner circle to celibate and everyone is chuffed for them both.

“He secretly bought an engagement ring and squirrelled it away for their holiday, and then popped the question over champagne.

“Liz has been incredible over the past few months, supporting him through thick and thin, and had his back throughout, but obviously Wynne is telling everyone she’s a lucky girl!” Liz, 50, who runs her own successful events company in Cardiff, met the star at one of her do’s in Wales.

He asked her out for a coffee the next day, and they have been together for the past 18 months.

News of the engagement comes after the BBC confirmed it would not be renewing the Go Compare frontman’s rolling contract.

It followed a protracted internal investigation into claims he used an inappropriate sexual term at the official photocall of the Strictly tour in January.

B&M has slashed the price of massive Dairy Milk chocolate bars to just £1.

The budget retailer has reduced the price of the Cadbury fan favourite by a whopping 66 per cent.

Brits could get their hands on a whopping 850g of chocolate for only £1

Shoppers will be able to bag a bargain at the budget retailer, taking home the 850g chocolate bar for £2 less than usual.

The chocolate bars of plain Dairy Milk were once selling in B&M stores for £3.

Now shoppers will be able to get their hands on the massive chocolate block at a discounted price.

The bargain is subject to availability with stores that don’t usually stock the product not selling it at the discounted rate.

Cadbury is a fan favourite in the UK and is the second largest confectionary brand in the world.

The firm makes dozens of flavours of chocolate bars which are sold in stores across the UK.

Discounts and offers are often available for the bigger bars with smaller bars sometimes included in meal deals for a discounted rate.

The plain Dairy Milk chocolate bar offers no bells and whistles, just a large block of quality milk chocolate.

B&M are now offering nearly a kilogram of the British classic for just £1.

The massive discount offered by B&M will net punters a huge block of chocolate for next to nothing.

Typically 850g of Cadburys chocolate would set back shoppers anywhere between £3 and £5.

The offer can be snapped up at any B&M store as long as they have the snack in stock.

The budget retailer is known for its impressive deals and offers, regularly reducing fan favourite items by huge amounts.

The current B&M discount works out at £1.17 per kilogram of chocolate.

The offer is currently active but no indication of when it will end has been given.

It could finish any moment so sweet tooth shoppers better be quick.

B&M often slashes the price of big name brands, with some items getting even cheaper if the B&M app is used.

The B&M app lets shoppers scan items while they are shopping to discover discounts and offers not listed on shelves.

How to save money on chocolate

We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.

Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs…

Go own brand – if you’re not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you’ll save by going for the supermarket’s own brand bars.

Shop around – if you’ve spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it’s cheaper elsewhere.

Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you’re getting the best deal.

Look out for yellow stickers – supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they’ve been reduced.

They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.

Buy bigger bars – most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.

So if you’ve got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.

‘I might get on before Ivan Toney’ jokes ITV commentator Lee Dixon as Saudi star cuts frustrated figure on England bench

And he looked stunned as he sat on the substitutes’ bench in the 70th minute as Noni Madueke prepared to come on.

ITV commentator Lee Dixon joked: “I might get on before Toney.”

England trailed 2-1 at the time and Tuchel had already brought on Morgan Rogers and Morgan Gibbs-White ahead of Toney.

The Al-Ahli striker had to wait until the 88th minute to try and impact the match, as fellow subs Madueke and Jude Bellingham had failed to do so.

Bellingham did find the net from close range but the goal was disallowed because a handball from Levi Colwill in the build-up, with Senegal going on to win 3-1.

Tuchel was asked after the match about his decision to leave Toney on the bench until the final few minutes.

He said: “First of all it was more than three minutes.”

BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS

Ian Wright and Roy Keane showed sympathy after the match, suggesting he ought to have been brought on earlier.

Wright told ITV: “He’s seen him all week and didn’t look to put him on until late. I don’t know what he has seen in training that he may not like up to this point.

“I was very surprised not to see him come on… I would be disappointed if I was him.”

And Keane added: “If you’re Toney and you’re getting three, four, five minutes, you’re fuming.”

A 93rd-minute punisher from Cheikh Sabaly put the final nail in England‘s coffin as they suffered a first loss under manager Thomas Tuchel.

Substitute Bellingham had a goal controversially disallowed for a handball by Levi Colwill, after the ball had hit the Chelsea star high on the arm in the 83rd minute.

The debatable decision late in the game left England stars and Tuchel fuming, as Colwill didn’t appear to deliberately touch the ball.

Regardless, England didn’t do enough to win and were lucky that the match was a friendly, with Tuchel still undefeated in the World Cup qualifiers.

But Bellingham was so frustrated that he kicked the ball into the air as referee Stephanie Frappart blew the whistle at the City Ground.

The Real Madrid star then kicked a water cooler before chasing after the assistant referee.

The former Bundesliga ace wasn’t the only one irritated with the decision, with captain Harry Kane hinting that the officials “didn’t know the rules”.

Tuchel also confronted Frappart and her team of officials in the middle of the pitch at full-time.

Bellingham, however, quickly appeared to calm down and heartwarmingly gifted his shirt to a young fan on the pitch.

But the talented midfielder does have history of taking his frustrations out on objects after defeats.

He memorably kicked the VAR monitor in frustration after Real Madrid’s last-gasp defeat.

Ed Miliband accused of ‘rewriting history’ after claiming winter fuel axe was to stop millionaires cashing in

ED Miliband was accused of “rewriting history” yesterday after he claimed scrapping winter fuel was about stopping millionaires getting payments. 

The bungling Net Zero Secretary tried to justify Labour’s original decision to strip the handout by suggesting the pensioners who would’ve missed out were all rich.

But some of them earned as little as £12,000 per year. 

Mr Miliband said: “The principal question was, the richest in our society, should they get the winter fuel payment, should millionaires, should the richest get the winter fuel payment?

“I think the answer for most people to that is no.” 

The Net Zero Secretary’s desperate bid to explain scrapping winter fuel payments – before the decision was partially reversed – was blasted by senior Tories, who accused him of spouting a “pack of lies”. 

Shadow Energy Secretary Andrew Bowie told The Sun: “Red Ed is even more out of touch than we thought if he thinks people will believe this pack of lies. 

“The economy is worse off than when they found it – taxes higher, unemployment higher and living standards lower. 

“He is just trying to rewrite history to try and cover up Labour’s embarrassing U-turn.” 

Meanwhile, a flagship Net Zero plan has been spared ahead of next week’s spending review — to opponents’ dismay.

Energy Secretary Ed Miliband has ensured his £13billion warm homes scheme will not be downgraded after negotiations with the Treasury.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves decided not to cut the cash which allows heating upgrades through better insulation, solar panels and heat pumps.
