A Yorkshire bakery's rude-looking donuts have gained national attention after Channel 4 star Steph McGovern tweeted a photo of them from her Packed Lunch green room.
McGovern, who presents her daily programme Steph's Packed Lunch live from the Channel 4 studios at Leeds Dock, shared a picture of the naughty treats with her followers on Twitter on Wednesday afternoon.
Writing "Interesting choice of post show treats in the @PackedLunchC4 green room today......." the TV presenter uploaded a picture of five of Doe Bakehouse's now infamous 'vulva nuts' to share with her 420,000 Twitter followers.

The striking donuts, which come laden with flesh-pink icing, strawberry lace, a conspicuously-placed heart and multicoloured sprinkles around the edge, are made by Doe Bakehouse in York.
Her post garnered some interesting comments, to say the least - with hundreds piling on to give their two pence on the sugary post show delicacies.
One wrote, "I'd better not speculate as to the flavour...."
Whilst another said, "The bit with the heart on is for what exactly. Asking for a friend…"
A third responded, "*adopts Bernard Manning voice That reminds me. I must ring the wife."
But the best comment by far has to come from Twitter user Ian Wright, who replied: "Why is there a tiny wee heart on each of them?"
Quick to tag in, Matt Naylor joked to the user: "You found it!"
The donuts, which were first debuted by the Yorkshire bakery to its own Instagram page earlier this week, are strawberry flavoured (naturally) and also come with a concealed chocolate egg hidden within.
Clearly pleased with their new national exposure, Doe Bakehouse has also shared a screenshot of McGovern's tweet to its social media with the caption: "Because what else are you having for your lunch if it’s not a Vulva-Nut?"
Whilst, sadly, there isn't a Doe Bakehouse in Leeds (yet, we've got our fingers crossed though) the bakery does have two sites in neighbouring York and a third in Clitheroe, Lancashire.
If you want to get your hands on them, you'll need to pre-order and then make the trip across to pick them up - as they're currently only available for collection only.
Detectives are appealing for witnesses after a teenage boy was stabbed in Leeds over the bank holiday weekend.
West Yorkshire Police explained that officers were called out to Roundhay Road at around at 6:05pm on Monday 31 August following reports that a 13-year-old boy had been stabbed, and once they arrived on the scene, the victim was located and subsequently taken to hospital, where he received treatment for an injury described as non-life-threatening.
Police say the incident occurred near to the Leeds West Indian Carnival, but are keen to assure the public that they believe this was an 'isolated and targeted' act.
Following further enquiries, it is now believed that the actual offence occurred on Shepherd’s Lane, potentially near the junction with Back Hares Avenue.
Investigating officers have released information on the suspect and identified several people they are keen to speak to.
As the police investigation is ongoing, Detective Chief Inspector Scott Hartley commented: "This is clearly a concerning incident in which a young teenage boy has suffered a significant stab wound.
"We have extensive enquiries ongoing, including house to house enquiries and reviewing CCTV. We are conscious though that this offence has occurred near to the Leeds West Indian Carnival and there will have been a large number of people in the vicinity who may not necessarily be from the Chapeltown area.
“The suspect for this offence is described as being male, around 15-16 years-old and was wearing a balaclava. He was with two girls. We are keen to speak to anyone who believes they may have seen this group in the area or who witnessed any part of this incident.
"Although this was a serious incident, our enquiries so far suggest it was an isolated and targeted act... [and] we remain focused on identifying those responsible and providing reassurance to the community."
Can you help? Anyone with information is asked to contact Leeds CID online, or by calling 101, quoting crime reference 13260496572.
Alternatively, information can be given anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

A new Turkish-inspired street food spot serving homemade shawarma is coming to Leeds city centre
Clementine Hall
Authentic Turkish street food is coming to Kirkgate.
Leeds city centre is gearing up to welcome yet another new food spot, and this one is all about homemade lahmacun, shawarma wraps and plenty of signature tahini sauce.
Tahin will open its doors at 10 Kirkgate, next to The Cat Cafe, and with signs already up we don't think it'll be long until they welcome their first customers.
The restaurant is listed as a Turkish restaurant that specialise in their homemade tahini sauce, hence the name.
According to the restaurant's Instagram profile which has been going for a few years, Tahin also specialises in home-made lahmacun wraps alongside shawarma wraps.
For anyone unfamiliar with lahmacun, the Turkish staple is often described as a thin, crispy flatbread topped with a richly seasoned mixture of minced meat, herbs and vegetables.
Wrapped up with fresh salad and sauces, it makes for a satisfying and flavourful lunch to enjoy on-the-go.
Their Instagram suggests that Tahin once existed before back in 2022, so although this may not be a completely new venture, we're nevertheless very glad to see them back.
Its location puts it right in the middle of one of Leeds' busiest areas, making it the perfect mid-shopping pit stop for those wandering around Briggate or stopping for a bite to eat before heading out on the town.
The new opening comes at a time when Leeds' food scene is continuing to expand, with a string of independent restaurants and street-food concepts opening across the city centre throughout 2026.
