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.
An exciting new venue is set to open its doors this year, marking a significant moment for the city’s nightlife scene.
Introducing Mint XL, the latest venture rom the team behind the Mint brand that represents the next evolution of a name that has been central to Leeds’ music culture since the 90’s.
Built on over three decades of experience in the industry, the team’s track record spans from intimate club spaces to major outdoor festivals.
Mint XL will build on this knowledge to bring a venue designed to operate on another level, bigger and better than ever before.

With a capacity of over 2000 across multiple rooms, Mint XL has been purpose-built to host a wide range of events. Think large-scale electronic music lineups and extended DJ sets to live performances, brand activations, and private hires.
At the heart of the venue is a focus on sound and experience. A newly-installed Funktion-One Vero system will power the main rooms, supported by high-spec production throughout.
Mint XL will also operate a strict no-phones policy during club events, keeping the focus on the music and the moment.

“Mint XL is the next chapter for the brand,” says Owner Shane Graham. “From Mint Club through to Mint Festival, we’ve spent nearly two decades building something special in Leeds, and this is a natural progression of that journey. It allows us to take everything we’ve produced over the years and deliver it at a much bigger club setting.”
Director Mikey McMahon adds: “Mint XL is a big step forward for us. It allows us to programme multi-bill lineups at a much bigger scale across multiple rooms, while also expanding beyond electronic music into live bands, private hires, and brand-led events. At its core, we’ve designed it as a fully versatile space that can adapt to different audiences and experiences under one roof.”
Cult favourite burger chain Burgerism is officially coming to Leeds this summer
Clementine Hall
An award-winning burger chain is coming to one of Leeds' suburbs.
If you don't know Burgerism, then get to know.
The Manchester-based burger chain is known by many for its incredible smash patties and quick, reliable service.
Their concept is simple: good burgers made with quality ingredients and cooked fresh to order. Delicious.
And it's not just burgers, they've also got some great wings and fries available too with a range of homemade sauces on offer for dunking, drizzling and devouring. We're a particular fan of the buffalo wings with their garlic ranch dip.
The chain used to have a dark kitchen on the outskirts of the city where people could order via Deliveroo, however this closed down and since then there's been a Burgerism-shaped hole left in our foodie scene.

Burgerism recently applied to move into a vacant shop unit in Meanwood at 605 Meanwood Road, seeking change-of-use planning permission for the former Papa Johns site which was previously only allowed to serve...well, pizzas.
And the plans have now been approved, which means Burgerism will officially be coming to Leeds. Hurray!
Burgerism's new takeaway will be walking distance from the The Meanwood Tavern, perfect for those looking for some post-pint burgers.
It will be strictly takeaway with no dine-in option available.
The brand-new Burgerism will employ 15 people from the local area with food being served between 11am and 11pm.
We'll keep you up to date as and when we find out more, but for now we're aware that Burgerism Leeds is set to open this summer.
