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.
In honour of National Chocolate Week, two big brands are joining forces.
Fancy a freebie? Silly question, of course you do.
Tony’s Chocolonely and Yorkshire Tea have joined forces for National Chocolate Week to ask Brits to declare themselves a ‘Melt’...yes, really.
It comes after the brands discovering a new Gen Z dunking trend, with research finding that 80% of 18–24-year-olds say chocolate is their preferred tea-dunking treat.
To understand why the perculiar pairing has become so popular, the brands recruited Associate Professor of Psychobiology, Dr Lorenzo Stafford, to investigate what happens when tea and chocolate come together.
Associate Professor, Dr Lorenzo Stafford said: "It's fascinating to see how much thought Brits put into what makes a great dunk. Flavour, texture and temperature all shape how we experience food, and the combination of hot tea with melting chocolate creates a particularly enjoyable sensory experience.
"When it comes to dunking, tea and chocolate have great chemistry so it’s no surprise young people have embraced it."
If you want to try it out for yourself, then you can for free - but there is one catch.
From Monday 19 to Friday 23 October, anyone who walks into one of Hyde Park Book Club in Leeds and says ‘I'm a Melt’ will get a free mug of Yorkshire Tea and bar of Tony's Chocolonely.
Not only that, but the first 100 customers will also get a limited-edition ‘Melt’ cap.
Yorkshire Tea & Tony’s Chocolonely said of the partnership, “Brits love their tea and their chocolate and now the science shows why. This National Chocolate Week, we’re inviting everyone to give it a go, embrace their inner Melt and discover just how well chunky chocolate and a proper brew can work together.”
Leeds Bradford Airport strikes will NOT go ahead following ‘late offer’ over pay
Clementine Hall
This weekend's strikes at Leeds Bradford Airport have been cancelled.
Around 130 workers were set to walk out this weekend, Unite said, but this has been suspended to allow air traffic controllers to consider a new pay offer.
The Unite members planning on to go on strike were a mixture of air traffic control workers, customer experience staff, security staff and cleaners.
The workers involved in the dispute had recently come out of a four-year pay deal, with some of the departments having fallen behind other airports in equivalent roles.
Pay talks have been happening since December 2025, with the airport's formal offer not going far enough to address the lack of pay parity which led to the decision to strike.
However, as of yesterday 15 October, the workers have been given new pay offers from the airport and the strikes will not take place to allow a ballot on the offers.
Air traffic controllers and hourly paid staff are being balloted separately on their respective offers.
Unite regional officer Neil Whitaker said: "After receiving offers from Leeds Bradford Airport, we have suspended this week’s strike action in good faith to allow members to vote on pay deals.”
In a statement, Leeds Bradford Airport said: "While the ballot process continues with certain members of our frontline colleagues, we remain hopeful that a positive outcome can be achieved and that an agreement can be reached which works for everyone involved.
"Regardless of the outcome of this ballot, LBA has a robust contingency plan in place and will be operating as normal this weekend.
"Our focus remains on supporting a smooth and reliable experience for customers while maintaining safe and efficient airport operations."
