Any guest with a Leap Day birthday on February 29 can also get a free original glazed dozen – and they don’t have to purchase anything to receive it.

The special offer is only available on the 29th and customers must notify staff of the Leap Day offer to receive it.

Emma Colquhoun, Chief Customer Officer UK and Ireland said: “An extra day in the year is an irresistible opportunity for Krispy Kreme to be extra kind to our customers.”

“So we are making Leap Day more fun by the dozens, even for fans whose real birthday only happens once every four years.”

Prices start from £14.95 for a dozen original glazed doughnuts.

The chain has offered free donuts before.

On World Kindness Day 2023, they gave away more than 60,000 original glazed donuts for free.

In August they handed out no less than 225,000 sweet treats during England’s participation in the World Cup.

Meanwhile, a man who worked at Krispy Kreme has shared his groundbreaking trick to make donuts even more delicious.

Jordan explained that adding butter to the donut and heating it up in the microwave takes the treat to a whole other level.

Ben Affleck rings in the new year by recreating a viral moment from just over three years earlier.

The 51-year-old actor was spotted dropping several boxes of donuts and cups of coffee while filming the scene.

He was wearing a similar shirt to the one he wore when photographers caught him spilling the Dunkin boxes outside his Los Angeles home in late December 2020.

When he was caught by photographers, Affleck was wearing a gray “Believe in Boston” T-shirt.

However, for the ad, he wore a Boston Red Sox t-shirt that read “Best Dad Ever.”

The actor completed his look with dark gray jeans and a pair of pristine white Nike sneakers with orange trim around the swoosh and orange soles.

He was seen trying to juggle a number of different Dunkin Donuts boxes with both hands, with some iced coffee drinks stacked on top.

He is later seen wearing the same outfit, but a different shirt: a gray T-shirt with a photo of a young Matt Damon and Affleck, with the text “Day Ones” underneath.

It’s not clear when the ad will appear, but with just over a month before the big game, it’s possible it will air during the Super Bowl.

The outing comes after Affleck and his wife Jennifer Lopez spent the New Year in St. Barts.

They appeared to have had a tense day in paradise on Saturday and looked tense as they shopped in the luxury boutiques of St. Bart’s capital Gustavia.

As Ben helped his wife try on a variety of high-end pieces, the actor at one point appeared irritated and threw his hands in the air as his wife sat next to him with a tense expression.

The pair eventually kissed and made up, with Jennifer cuddling her husband for a series of selfies before the pair locked lips.

Ben was previously married to Jennifer Garner from 2005 to 2018. They share daughters Violet, Seraphina, 13, and son Samuel, 10.

In a candid recent interview with Variety, Jennifer confessed that she and her husband still “both have PTSD” given the bright spotlight of their first romance.

She shared that “we both have PTSD” from their first experience, but explained that in their current life as a married couple “we are older now. We are wiser.’

J-Lo added, “We also know what’s important, what’s really important in life, and it’s not so much what other people think. It’s about being true to who you are.’

Brooklyn Beckham proudly served donuts at the ChainFEST Food Festival in LA on Friday after attacking ‘haters’ who mocked his cooking videos.

The son of footballer David and former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, 24, turned up on the opening day of the world’s first gourmet food festival in the city.

It’s a pop-up series created by actor BJ Novak and chef Tim Hollingsworth, of Otium restaurant in downtown LA.

But Brooklyn seemed pleased with himself as he scarfed down an array of donuts from the Dunkin Donuts stand during the culinary event.

Brooklyn has used his Instagram platform as a launching pad for a career as an aspiring celebrity chef, but he’s often met with scathing critics over his videos.

His cooking has come under fire in the past, as many have dismissed his simple recipes, use of expensive ingredients or accusations of nepotism.

In an interview with Insider in October, Brooklyn emphasized that he is not impressed by the criticism, because he knows that he is ‘busy’ and ‘cooking makes him happy’.

He said: “Honestly, I’m used to the hate. I don’t really care. Cooking makes me happy. I have more important things to worry about than people saying some shit about me…I’m just doing my thing and working my ass off.’

Speaking to the publication, Brooklyn said: “Honestly, I’m used to the hate. I don’t really care. Cooking makes me happy. I have more important things to worry about than people saying shit about me…

‘My message to them is to keep writing what they want to write. There will always be people trying to bring you down.

‘I do my thing and work my butt off. So they can keep writing whatever they want, but it doesn’t bother me; I just keep doing my thing.’

The former model – who tied the knot with heiress Nicola Peltz in 2022 – kept casual cool in a black jacket and trousers and a white T-shirt, and was joined by a male friend at the event.

After serving the tasty treats, Brooklyn beamed as he packed them into boxes ready for customers.

The foodie event was a hotspot for celebrity performances, with the likes of Mindy Kaling, John Legend and Chrissy Teigen all making their way to the festival.

The Mindy Project star, 44, looked chic in a long black Matrix-style leather coat, which she wore over a black dress and paired with cream over-the-knee boots.

The actress – who was recently spotted dining with BJ Novak – wore her raven braids slightly curled and accessorized with a gold chain for the event, where she enjoyed gourmet food.

The first day of the festival started on Friday, which ends on Sunday, December 3.

Visitors can enjoy flavors from famous fast food chains, including Chili’s Grill and Bar, Dunkin’, Jack in the Box, Panda Express, Pizza Hut, Red Robin and SONIC Drive-In, with drinks supplied by Pepsi.

Tickets for the event cost $75 per person for a three-hour period to enjoy the festival, including the food and various activities.

Some of the participating chains include Jack in the Box, Panda Express, Pizza Hut, Chili’s, Red Robin, Sonic and more.

Marc Jacobs’ husband has been branded ‘desperate’ and ’embarrassing’ for an angry tirade against a non-binary vegan influencer who criticized the designer for using real fur.

Charly ‘Char’ Defrancesco, who lives in New York, shared a lengthy post on Instagram in which he blasted Nati Casanova for consuming coffee and confectionery produced by companies that use child labor in Africa.

It appears that Nati posted a now-deleted video to Instagram in September with the caption: “@marcjacobs whaddya say? How many animals have you killed today?’.

In his 368-word caption, the 42-year-old candlemaker accused Char Nati of “harassing” him and warned them: “If you sit on your self-righteous high horse of hypocrisy and point fingers, I’m here to point out some right back to you.”

He went on to say that the animal rights activist was “not in a position to point fingers” because they consume coffee, sweets and doughnuts. He went on to shame the activist, saying, “Looks like you got a lot [sugar]’.

However, Char’s vicious attack backfired, with one critic commenting: ‘He keeps calling others hypocrites when he clearly is one himself.’

Char Defrancesco married his longtime partner Marc Jacobs in 2019, surrounded by family and friends, at the Grill Room in Manhattan.

Marc Jacobs’ eponymous brand, a subsidiary of LVM, previously came under fire from PETA for selling real fur, including mink coats – and items made from real dog fur were even found to be labeled as faux fur.

But Marc’s husband Char, who disagreed with animal rights advocate Nati telling him to end the fur trade, posted his 368-word response for all to see.

He wrote: ‘I see you, mainly because you keep bothering me. When I looked at your page I saw your posts with coffee, sweets, donuts. What I want to draw attention to.

“So hopefully the next time you feel like posting pictures of donuts, of which it looks like you’ve had a lot, you won’t be in a position to point fingers.”

Char criticized Nati Casanova for consuming coffee, tea and confectionery produced by companies that use child labor in Africa.

“I cannot help but feel a sense of incongruity in considering your position alongside your support of certain companies known for their involvement in child labor, especially in the chocolate, coffee/tea and sugar industries. ‘

He further suggested that the vegan influencer should turn a blind eye to animal cruelty and instead become an advocate for child trafficking and labor.

‘You can call your local government or the three big chocolate traders in the world who control 80% of the world’s chocolate trade (Cargill, Barry Callebaut and OFI) and demand change/an end to child trafficking and labour.

‘Or choose another goal that means something to you and makes the world a little better.’

But toward the end of the post, the candlestick maker warned, “If you get on your self-righteous high horse of hypocrisy and point fingers, I’m here to point some right at you.”

Char’s outburst caused an uproar among Instagram users, with many expressing their disapproval of his tirade.

One person wrote: ‘This is rich coming from someone who is [sic] partner has direct ties to LVMH. Is Marc aware that Bernard is funneling money to the IDF? But you claim you care about children?’

Char hurriedly replied, “You didn’t read what I wrote. I’m not claiming to care about the kids, I’m just saying it’s ironic how someone could try to point out scammers and pass judgment. Did you read what I wrote? Or were the words too big to understand? LOL’ [sic]

This caused even more problems for the 42-year-old, with one person acknowledging he had dismissed his children by saying: ‘Did you just admit you didn’t care about children?! That’s pretty scary. No care for children or animals

While another added: ‘I didn’t claim to care about the children’ so why use these images of innocent, suffering children? You also said ‘hoping this post does more good than just getting likes’… but what good did you expect? You want your followers to make a difference in helping end child labor, while you don’t care. That is worrying.’

Meanwhile, other Instagram users left hundreds of comments on the six-slide post expressing their disbelief, including: ‘You’re actually comparing the fur industry to coffee beans? You drink coffee and support fur, so whose problem is bigger here.’

Another suggested that Marc Jacobs should follow in the footsteps of Stella McCartney, Gucci and Burberry by adopting a fur-free policy.

“If Marc Jacobs announces a fur-free policy soon, you might spend more time learning to spell words like ‘FUR’ and less time embarrassing his brand.”

One person thought it was unfair to compare using animal fur to drinking coffee, writing: The difference is that there is ethical coffee, chocolate and sugar. You can simply check the quality marks to see if there is fair trade. There is NO ethical way to kill animals for unnecessary fashion. Tell your husband to declare a fur-free policy if you want to get people out of trouble.”

“Exploiting starving children to distract from your husband’s dealings with an industry that makes billions of dollars off the skin of tortured animals? Wow. You are shameless,” read another comment.
