For those who secretly crave fried chicken during office or school hours, KFC has launched its first-ever lunch-only meal deal.

For just €5.49, fried chicken lovers can get a full meal, including main course, drink and chips.

Customers can choose between a Kentucky Mayo Twister Wrap or a Filet Burger for their main course.

They can also choose between a pack of Walkers MAX crisps or a delicious Milk Chocolate Chip Cookie.

For drinks, fast food lovers can get a carbonated drink or a bottle of water.

The epic lunch offer is available every day from Monday to Friday until 3pm in any branch, drive-thru or via their click and collect service.

It comes as a man claimed to have found a “leaked” copy of the 11 ingredients that make up KFC’s secret chicken seasoning.

He posted a photo of the handwritten list Redditwriting next to it: “The real list of KFC’s ’11 herbs and spices’, leaked by Colonel Sanders’ own cousin in 2016.

Elsewhere, KFC confirmed the closure of its Linthorpe Road restaurant in Middlesbrough.

The chain has been operating from the building on Linthorpe Road since 2015.

We spent £40,000 on a KFC-themed wedding – we even had a cake that looked like a bucket of chicken

KFC has also announced it is closing one of its branches in Glasgow.

Meanwhile, fans of a Canadian fast food chain say it is “better than KFC” and is about to open its first restaurants in Britain.

Mary Brown’s (MB) Chicken, which has more than 300 stores across Canada, plans to open its first store in Britain within days.

How can I save money at KFC?

If you’re looking for KFC freebies, the fast-food chain is offering a six-piece chicken bucket to customers using its app for the first time.

Plus, you can sign up for KFC’s Rewards Arcade, which gives customers the chance to win a number of prizes.

All you have to do is download the app and click the “KFC Rewards” button at the bottom of the screen.

You then use the app to order or you can get a QR code on the app that you have to swipe at the checkout.

You will then receive an invitation to the KFC Rewards Arcade, where you can play a game and win free food.

But you need to spend at least £3 to be in with a chance of winning a free gift.

You should always look out for offers wherever possible.

The twister wrap of the day is definitely worth it if you fancy a quick snack during lunch or after work and aren’t too concerned about the taste.

The highly offensive comment that cost Tabcorp CEO Adam Rytenskild his lucrative job was allegedly made about the woman who regulates Victoria’s gaming industry.

Daily Mail Australia has been informed by sources that the sexist comment he is accused of making in front of colleagues was directed at Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission (VGCCC) CEO Annette Kimmitt.

“He said it at a meeting and three of the people in it were subsequently gored and they filed a complaint,” a source told Daily Mail Australia.

Ms Kimmitt was not present, but the regulator was reportedly informed of the comment and subsequently contacted Tabcorp’s board, who commissioned lawyers to investigate the claim late last year.

Mr. Rytenskild, 52, had a $2 million-a-year contract with a $10 million bonus, but resigned as CEO with immediate effect on Thursday, due to the use of ‘inappropriate and offensive’ language at work.

It followed that Tabcorp’s board decided that the language allegedly used was ‘inconsistent’ with its continued leadership.

Mr Rytenskild is said to have called the woman a ‘useless bastard’, ‘or words very close to that’, in front of a number of people. The Australian reported.

Ms Kimmitt declined to comment when contacted by Daily Mail Australia on Friday evening.

VGCCC chairman Fran Thorn said the Commission acknowledged Mr Rytenskild’s resignation following comments he allegedly made about a supervisory officer, but would not confirm who that was.

“The Commission will continue to regulate as a fierce advocate of the public interest, ensuring integrity, security and fairness in the gambling industry,” she said.

“I am proud to chair an organization that champions strong, female leadership and a gender-inclusive, respectful workplace culture.”

Mr Rytenskild has said he does not remember making the alleged comment.

Despite working at the gambling giant for almost 24 years, he will only receive severance pay and has forfeited all bonuses.

His resignation cost him up to $10 million in unvested stock and options.

Tabcorp engaged external lawyers about a fortnight ago to investigate the allegations.

The company’s board decided to terminate his employment before Mr Rytenskild tendered his resignation during an emergency meeting between the two parties on Wednesday.

“Tabcorp expects its leaders to uphold the company values ​​at all times and will not hesitate to take action to uphold expected standards of conduct,” a company statement said.

‘To protect the privacy of those involved, Tabcorp does not intend to comment further on the conduct.’

Tabcorp shares were at 72c on Friday, down 5 per cent.

Mr Rytenskild had held the top job for less than two years.

Tabcorp beat Sportsbet in December last year to secure the rights to be the sole retail betting operator in Victoria’s TABs, pubs and clubs under an $860 million deal.

“I do not recall making the alleged comment and it is not language I would normally use, but I have unfortunately agreed to resign,” he said in Tabcorp’s statement.

“Tabcorp has been an important part of my life for years and I believe in the journey the company is on.”

Tabcorp chairman Bruce Akhurst will fill the vacant positions of managing director and CEO until replacements are found.

“The board regrets that Mr Rytenskild’s employment has ended in this way,” Mr Akhurst said.

‘[It] recognizes his commitment to the growth of Tabcorp for more than two decades, including the last two years as MD and CEO, and his contribution to the transformation of the company.”

Charlie Green, director of Hunter Green Institutional Broking, said Tabcorp could already have been looking to retire Mr Rytenskild and bring in new management.

“I truly believe Adam was a dead man and there are mature succession plans in the works,” he said The courier post.

Senior managers at Entain, the company that owns Ladbrokes Australia, are apparently being considered for the role.

Tabcorp has a large physical footprint, meaning they have to pay double the taxes and betting fees of strictly online bookmakers such as Ladbrokes and Sportsbet.

While Queensland and Victoria have made changes to level the playing field, other states have yet to follow suit.

Even with that level playing field, the company is still seen as something of a dinosaur that could struggle to keep pace with nimble competitors who have made the most of websites and apps to safeguard gamblers’ money under the crisis of cost of living.

Tabcorp's board decided that the language Adam Rytenskild allegedly used was

Mr Rytenskild started flipping burgers at a Mobil gas station as a teenager and became a father at 19 before first joining Tabcorp in 2000.

He worked his way up to become a director in 2010 and became CEO when Tabcorp spun off its lottery business in May 2022.

“To be honest, this is a bit informal, but to me it’s true,” Mr Rytenskild told The Australian Financial Review after his appointment to the top job.

‘I really have a ‘no dickhead policy’. I think that’s important.’

A BEAUTY fan didn’t realize she had messed up her henna eyebrow application until it was too late.

After trying to wash the product off, she couldn’t help but laugh when she saw the color it left behind.

Alex (@attemptalex) shared the eyebrow mistake in a TikTok video.

“Watch me realize that the eyebrow henna is not the color it says on the box,” she said.

The redhead had already gone to work and applied a full coat of henna to her eyebrows.

She showed off the product she was using which initially looked like it would suit her red hair.

However, the ‘foxy’ shade came in misleading orange packaging.

She tried to wipe the henna from her forehead with a wet towel.

A few hard wipes revealed that she had accidentally dyed her eyebrows dark brown instead of the light red she was going for.

Unfortunately for Alex, she also happened to have places to be.

‘Works like magic,’ customers rave about the $20 eyebrow growth serum that ‘filled in gaps I thought were lost forever’

“I have to go to work tomorrow,” she sighed, adding the hashtag #eyebrowfail.

In a sequel videoAlex explained that three days later after intense scrubbing she was able to get most of the color out.

Despite her efforts, her eyebrows were still a brown color that didn’t match her hair.

“They’re not as bad as they used to be, but they’re still not great,” she said.

She tried to remove more of the color with oil, but was resigned to waiting four weeks for the color to fade.

Those who had more experience with henna shared their advice on how to avoid the mistake and best henna practices.

“So future reference: Henna will always be darker the longer you leave it on, whether on the skin or hair, wherever it turns darker,” said one commenter.

“If you want it lighter, don’t keep it on for too long.”

One commenter even suggested a removal solution based on his personal experiences.

“Henna artist here, apply baby oil, olive oil or micellar water on it and let it sit for 2 to 5 minutes, then clean it,” she said.

“This will help lighten/remove the remaining stain much faster.”

“These are secret weapons in my bridal package,” she added after.

NARS EDA BRUSH

First up was a makeup brush used by professionals.

“This NARS EDA brush makes powder contouring so easy on the nose,” she said.

“You can get the whole nose with just one little swipe. You can also get the jawline,” she added.

LA GIRL LIQUID EYELINER

This was a comforting presence from Ulta, $6.99, in her makeup bag.

“Even as a makeup artist, there is nothing I fear more than applying wing eyeliner to a client,” she wrote.

“So if I can use something that makes it that easy, that simple, that quick, then I will.

“This is LA Girl’s liquid eyeliner. I use this on a client, just do a wing and it goes super fast with a felt tip pen. It makes my life so much easier.”

And then she donates it to her client for their retouching kit.

I found dupes at Dollar Tree that smelled exactly like Tree Hut body scrubs – they had so much brand name makeup too

LA GIRL COLOR SETTINGS

Another permanent part of her kit are these color regulators from LA girl$10.

“LA Girl color matchings are affordable when you can mix them in your most popular shades,” she said.

“If you’re oily, this is all you need,” she added.

This powder gives great brightness, she said

JACLYN HILL LUMINOUS POWDER

This is a staple and she doesn’t want to look at anything else. It costs $9 from Morphe.

“I’ve been using this powder for years and I can’t do makeup without it,” she wrote.

“This is such a beautiful powder. It is so finely ground. It just gives the skin a beautiful luminosity and a radiant appearance,” she said.

The final feature of her kit was a setting spray, also from Morphe, $18.

“This Morphe luminous spray is luminous, it’s dewy, this is my finishing spray when I want to bring skin back to life,” she said.

Commenters were grateful for the tips.

“Yes, I need more shades,” one person said.

RISHI Sunak’s flagship package to help millions of renters is on the brink of collapse, The Sun understands.

Whitehall insiders claim Conservative manifesto pledge to end “no-fault evictions” is on track failure as Michael Gove is being held to “ransom” by angry Tory MPs.

Last month, the Housing Secretary pledged to pass the flagship tenant reform bill before this year’s general election.

But distraught officials have accused a backstabbing Tories, including some landlords, of refusing to compromise on the legislation.

Sources say the charges are against the bill is led by Totnes MP Anthony Mangnall.

A Whitehall source said: “It looks like the Renters Reform Bill could now collapse and the Tories risk breaking their manifesto pledge to end no-fault evictions.

“Officials are facing a total loss as both pro-landlord groups like the National Residential Landlords Association and pro-tenant groups like the Renters Reform Coalition want this bill passed as quickly as possible.

“It appears that a small group of MPs, led by Anthony Mangnall, are holding the bill to ransom.”

Mr Mangnall, who is not a landlord himself, stressed that he supports the abolition of no-fault evictions.

But he claimed a large number of Tories are furious about the bill which would ban fixed-term leases and replace them with periodic leases without an end date.

Ministers and rebels have reached a stalemate and insiders fear time will run out to bring the bill to the House of Commons – meaning it will fail.

Mr Mangnall said: “I want to amend the bill so as not to overturn it.

“My role as a legislator is to ensure that we pass sensible legislation. We have had constructive meetings with Michael Gove.

“It’s about finding the right balance.”

Tom Darling, campaign director at the Renters Reform Coalition, said: “Another delay to this legislation caused by an ungovernable group of Conservative MPs – many of whom are landowners.

“It is becoming clear that they are planning to undermine their own pledge to end no-fault evictions at the eleventh hour.

“The truth is that the Renters (Reform) Bill is the bare minimum that tenants need – we will not support a grubby deal between the government and the backers of landlords that is little better than the miserable status quo.”

A spokesperson for the Department for Levelling, Housing and Communities said: “Our historic Renters (Reform) Bill will deliver a fairer private rental sector for both tenants and landlords. It will abolish section 21 evictions – giving people greater security in their homes and empowering them to tackle bad practice.

“We continue to meet regularly with a range of groups representing all parties in the private rental sector.”

The International Monetary Fund has agreed to more than double the bailout package for Egypt, which is facing its worst economic crisis in decades, exacerbated by war in the neighboring Gaza Strip and Ukraine.

The fund now plans to provide Egypt with $8 billion, up from the initial $3 billion announced in October 2022.

The head of the IMF’s mission in Egypt, Ivanna Vladkova Hollar, noted at a news conference that Egypt’s already struggling economy had been further affected by the conflict between Israel and Hamas, which has hampered the country’s vital tourism trade.

At the same time, revenue from the Suez Canal fell by half after Houthi militants, who say they stand in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, began attacking cargo ships using the Red Sea shipping lanes.

Egypt’s Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly said the deal would allow the government to secure an additional $1.2 billion, on top of $8 billion, from the IMF’s Environmental Aptitude Fund and would include development partners such as the World Bank and the European Union encourage Egypt to also give more money. loans to help achieve financial stability.

Last week, Egypt signed a $35 billion deal with the United Arab Emirates to develop parts of the Mediterranean coast. Egyptian officials celebrated it as the largest foreign direct investment in Egypt’s history.

Hours before the deal with the IMF was announced, Egypt’s Central Bank, in an effort to rein in rising inflation, devalued the currency by more than 35 percent – it was the fourth devaluation since October 2022 – and raised interest rates by 600 basis points.

Mr Madbouly said his government and the IMF have reached consensus on the objectives of Egypt’s structural reform plan.

“The aim is to increase foreign exchange reserves, reduce debt burden, ensure the flow of foreign direct investment and work towards high growth rates for the Egyptian economy,” he said.

The government and the monetary fund are committed to social protection measures for vulnerable people who will be affected by the reform plans, Mr Madbouly said.

Over the past 18 months, a severe shortage of foreign currency in Egypt, which is overwhelmingly dependent on imports, has wiped out prices – and concerns about the future. The cost of some basic food items quadrupled, debt levels reached record highs and the currency lost much of its value, decimating the purchasing power of people’s incomes and the value of their savings.

Central Bank Governor Hassan Abdalla said the government’s medium-term plan aims to reduce inflation, which reached a record high of almost 40 percent last summer, to single digits.

Before the IMF deal, mounting economic pressure had forced the government to change its tactics, including freezing some costly megaprojects ordered by President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, including a lavish new capital in the desert.

Additional pressure came from the IMF, which refused to transfer much of the original loan until Egypt met certain economic policy conditions. One of these was to stimulate private sector growth by eliminating the competitive advantages enjoyed by Egyptian military companies.

Over the past decade, the Egyptian economy has struggled for stability. Many observers say mismanagement, including overspending on mega-projects and long-standing over-reliance on imports, has left Egypt vulnerable to successive external shocks. In addition to the war in Gaza, there was the coronavirus pandemic and the war in Ukraine, which affected both tourism and essential wheat imports.

Mr el-Sisi has repeatedly defended his government’s policies, saying the 2011 uprising that toppled President Hosni Mubarak had created lasting economic uncertainty.

However, in daily interactions on Cairo’s streets and on social media, many blame the president, whom they accuse of spending money on vanity projects and weakening the economy in a way that undermines Egypt’s influence in the region.

Some experts say the IMF, which has loaned Egypt billions of dollars since 2016, is part of the problem.

“They don’t go deep enough into what’s happening inside the machine,” said Mohamed Fouad, a financial consultant and former Egyptian lawmaker.

Mr Fouad expects the international lender will now make more calculated decisions.

“Their biggest mistake,” he said, “came between 2016 and 2020, when everyone was cheering and focusing only on the macroeconomic aspect. But the foundation was shaky.”

LUKE LITTLER opened another supporter’s Fifa package ahead of last night’s Premier League darts action.

The star became a national phenomenon with his fairytale run at the PDC World Darts Championship in December.

That came to an end on January 3 when Luke Humphries defeated the then 16-year-old at Ally Pally 7-4 to become world champion.

‘Luke the Nuke’ took £200,000 despite losing it before winning the Bahrain Masters, and pocketed a further £20,000 for beating Michael van Gerwen in the final.

Littler returned to his hometown of Warrington for a subdued celebration of his 17th birthday and then defeated Humphries in the semi-final of the Dutch Masters, but suffered defeat to MVG in the final.

He only turned professional last month and capped off a whirlwind few weeks with a first call-up and then a bow for the Premier League.

Littler has already completed the Premier League scalp set, but he is still looking for his first night win.

A 6-3 semi-final defeat to Rob Cross yesterday denied the teenage sensation the chance to go for the £10,000 winners’ bonus in week five in Exeter.

However, he still managed to get viewers talking about him again for something other than his darts.

He first stunned one lucky supporter before even throwing his first dart of the night in Newcastle eight days ago.

That’s because a gamer held out his phone to the youngster during his strike, but instead of posing for a selfie, the chap revealed his Fifa game on the phone.

All it took was for a parcel to be opened… with Littler duly obliging to the delight of his supporter – and the viewers at home watching.

Luke Littler opens a fan’s FIFA package during his Premier League Darts strike as fans say: ‘This boy is brilliant’

And he repeated that trick in Exeter on Thursday, when he was presented with another phone with a FIFA package that had yet to be opened.

The delighted fan celebrated after Littler did the honors for him, with an eagle-eyed viewer revealing which footballer had picked the teenager.

That was Domenico Berardi, the Italian international striker who previously played for Juventus and is now with Sassuolo.

PDC World Darts runner-up Littler enjoys playing his Xbox and spent £500 of his £200,000 Ally Pally prize money on packages with very little fun.

Littler delighted his followers when he did a live stream with his girlfriend just days after thrusting himself into the public spotlight.

And even attending tournaments doesn’t stop him from getting his FC 24 fix.

Littler is regularly depicted by his co-stars preparing for competitions on stage simply by performing on his screen.

So much so that Peter Wright joked ahead of their showdown in Newcastle that he was going to steal Littler’s chill phone to disrupt his pre-match plans.

Taylor Swift and her boyfriend Travis Kelce have received a very interesting offer from a strip club in Las Vegas.

The singer, 34, and the NFL star, 34, were offered a $1 million package to party in the tent as long as the Kansas City Chiefs take home the Vince Lombardi Trophy on Feb. 11.

If they win Super Bowl LVIII, Larry Flynt's Hustler Club said they will give the couple the “Topless Touchdown Celebration Package.”

According to TMZthe couple would have “unlimited access to the $10,000 per hour Mohney Suite, a champagne bottle parade with Ace of Spades and $50,000 for Taylor and Travis to make it rain.”

Kelce and Swift — who are rushing her Eras Tour concert in Tokyo to make it to the big game — would also receive VIP Platinum Lifetime Memberships and get “free lap dances for life.”

Plus, they'll also get limo transportation from Allegiant's Stadium to the strip club if they beat the San Francisco 49ers.

In the days after the Super Bowl, Swift is scheduled for a busy weekend, traveling across the Pacific Ocean to shoot the game.

She will take the stage at her Eras Tour concert in Tokyo, Japan on Saturday, February 10 at 8:30 PM. That's the same day at 3:30 am in Las Vegas.

Kickoff for the Chiefs and Niners game is scheduled for Sunday, February 11 at 6:30 PM ET – which means she has just under two days to perform her always exciting concert in Tokyo and then travel 12 hours to Vegas in her private jet.

Her next concert is on February 16, which will give her a few days of rest and possibly a celebration with her boyfriend, in Melbourne, as she kicks off the Australian leg of her tour. And she might take him with her.

Because she will be traveling to Japan very soon and performing there, Swift will not perform at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday.

Still, she is expected to attend as she has been nominated for a total of six awards. Kelce previously confirmed on his podcast that he won't be able to attend due to Super Bowl preparation.

For Anti-Hero she has a chance to win three trophies: Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance.

For her album Midnights she has been nominated for both Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album.

And finally, for her collaboration with Ice Spice on Karma, she has a chance to win the prize for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.

The twelve-time Grammy winner is one of the most nominated artists of the evening.

She is set to make history if she wins in the Album of the Year category – making her the first artist ever to win in the category four times.

A Delaware judge ruled Tuesday in favor of Tesla shareholders who filed a lawsuit to block the pay package that helped make Elon Musk, the automaker's CEO, many times a billionaire and the richest person in the world.

“The process leading to the approval of Musk's compensation plan was deeply flawed,” Chancellor Kathaleen St. J. McCormick of the Delaware Court of Chancery said in the decision. She ordered that the contract that secured his record payment be annulled.

A group of Tesla shareholders had challenged a stock option package that ultimately gave Mr. Musk the right to acquire Tesla shares worth more than $70 billion if the stock price was higher. To receive the award, which was one of the largest of its kind and widely imitated by other companies, Tesla had to meet certain sales, profit and stock price targets.

The lawsuit took on even more significance following Musk's acquisition of Twitter in 2022. He was widely criticized for spending time overhauling Twitter as Tesla's shares tumbled and its growth slowed amid increasing competition. One justification for Musk's pay package at Tesla was that it was a way to keep him focused on building cars.

The case also raised questions about Tesla's corporate governance and whether the board, which includes some close friends of Musk and his brother Kimbal, is doing anything to rein in Musk's behavior. The lawsuit alleged that Mr. Musk had played a major role in shaping his pay package.

The judge agreed. “Eventually,” she wrote, “Musk launched a self-driving process, gradually recalibrating the speed and direction as he saw fit. The process came at an unfair price.”

Mr. Musk also testified at the trial, suggesting that his impact on the auto industry justified his pay. “Tesla has had a huge impact on the world,” he said. “It's not just that Tesla makes electric vehicles – we've really been the main reason why the rest of the auto industry has switched to sustainable, electric vehicles.”

The case was heard in Delaware because Tesla, like many companies, is incorporated there.

United Parcel Service plans to cut about 12,000 jobs this year as the company tries to cut costs in the face of declining package volumes and higher wages tied to a new union contract it signed in the summer.

UPS CEO Carol Tomé told analysts on an earnings call Tuesday that it had been a “difficult and disappointing year.” Last year, sales fell by more than 9 percent and profits fell by a third.

Ms Tomé said most of the job cuts would occur in the first half of the year and would reduce costs by about $1 billion. UPS employs nearly 500,000 people.

UPS narrowly averted a strike over the summer when the union representing more than 300,000 workers, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, threatened to walk away if a labor agreement that included higher wages was not reached. A contract was agreed shortly after the previous agreement expired, but uncertainty over a possible walk-off has negatively affected the company's parcel volumes. UPS said that by the end of December, about 60 percent of the volume it lost during the standoff had returned.

The positions that would be eliminated this year are not union jobs, according to the Teamsters. The layoffs will instead affect executive staff “across the world and in all functions,” according to a statement from UPS. These steps reflect a “change in the way we work,” Ms. Tomé said, and even if things recover, those jobs may not return. Employees are also expected to work in the office five days a week, she added.

UPS said it recorded a 12 percent pay increase for union workers in the fourth quarter as a result of the new contract. To limit the hit to profits, the company cut working hours by about 10 percent last quarter.

Shares of UPS fell more than 8 percent Tuesday morning.

The company said it expected parcel volumes to continue to decline in the first half of this year, before posting positive growth in the second half. The company's weak demand forecasts and job losses are in stark contrast to recent economic indicators showing resilient global growth and signs of an economic “soft landing,” defying predictions of a deeper downturn.

Still, the number of laid-off workers in the United States rose slightly in December, according to data from the Labor Department released on Tuesday. And several tech and media companies have announced major layoffs in recent months.

While the overall number of layoffs is low compared to pre-pandemic levels, certain sectors are being affected more than others. “If you work in these industries, you're probably feeling pretty uncomfortable right now,” said Julia Pollak, chief economist at ZipRecruiter.
