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.
The most affordable Christmas Markets for drinking mulled wine have been revealed – and Leeds does not make the cut.
With Christmas markets across Europe preparing to welcome millions of visitors, festive fans looking to enjoy a warming cup of glühwein without breaking the bank might want to take note of the latest findings.
Festive experts at Christmas Tree World have analysed mulled wine prices at Christmas markets around the world to discover where visitors can enjoy the seasonal favourite for less.
Topping the rankings is Brussels’ Winter Wonders, where mulled wine is available for as little as £2.14 – about a third of the price of a mulled wine at the Leeds Christmas Markets.
Cologne Cathedral Christmas Markets and Strasbourg’s Christkindelsmärik share second place, with starting prices of just £2.56.
Other European favourites also feature prominently in the rankings. Budapest’s Christmas Market at the Basilica takes fourth place, with mulled wine costing £3.19, while Prague’s Old Town Square Christmas Market comes in sixth at £3.55.
Germany makes another strong appearance, with Dresden’s Striezelmarkt and Nuremberg’s Christkindlesmarkt (which handily just launched new direct flights from Manchester) both offering mulled wine for £3.85.
Meanwhile, Vienna’s Christmas World rounds off the European entries in ninth place, with prices starting at £4.28.
For those planning a festive adventure further afield, Tokyo’s Christmas Market also makes the top five, with mulled wine costing £3.22.
However, not every destination offers such a bargain. Across the Atlantic, New York City’s Winter Village takes the title of the most expensive market in the study, with mulled wine costing a rather less festive £11.74. Chicago’s Christkindlmarket isn’t far behind, charging £8.80.
Manchester Christmas Markets start on Thursday 19 November – we’ll see how our prices stack up then.

These are also served alongside Leeds' own Kirkstall Virtuous IPA and a vast whiskey selection that celebrates the best of Ireland.
Games wise, try your hand at crazy pool, interactive darts, shuffleboard and karaoke. There will also be live music every Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

The opening comes as Merrion Street enjoys a new wave of investment and hospitality openings, helping bring new life to one of Leeds' best known night life attractions.
Matt Jones, CEO of Professionals at Play, said: “Everyone knows a Jackie. She’s the one who gets everyone together, convinces you to stay for another and makes sure there’s never a dull moment.
“We wanted to create a pub with that same personality. Somewhere with brilliant drinks, live music, plenty of games and the kind of atmosphere that makes you forget you were only popping in for one.

“Merrion Street is coming back to life, and we’re excited to be part of its next chapter. We think Jackie will fit right in. And because Jackie’s never been one to turn up empty-handed, the first drink’s on her."
They'll be opening next Thursday just in time for the festive season, but for now you can sign up here for a pint of free Guinness. Cheers to that!
