A Na Na Na Surprise doll has been slammed as a ‘disgusting’ toy by horrified mum.

The doll comes wrapped as a surprise and you don’t know which doll you will get when you buy the box. 

The dolls come dressed with different styles and underneath their clothes is a bit of surprise.

One mum bought the doll for £23 in B&M Bargains in Kirkcaldy, Scotland, but was disgusted after unwrapping the gift to find the doll dressed in lace underwear with fishnet tights.

Following the complaint, B&M removed the product from sale and apologised to the customer. 

The mum told The Scottish Sun: “It’s a surprise doll so you can’t see what it is when you purchase.

“There’s a selection and it’s just random the type of doll you get you get. They’re dressed differently, they’ve got different styles, if you like.

“But they come with clothes and underneath the clothes they’re wearing what I would say is inappropriate – a lace bra, fishnet tights, ready for a Saturday night.

“I was pretty disgusted. My daughter… was pretty oblivious to the under clothes. There’s a dress as well and a little jacket so she was just excited to put that on.

“But it’s just not something that you would take out in public anyway.”

She added: “I contacted B&M and I contacted what I thought was the manufacturer and both got back and said they were going to be looking into it.”

The mum was offered an apology and a voucher as a gesture of goodwill from the firm.

Others are equally as disturbed as the mum, one Twitter user wrote “why are you marketing dolls in sexy lingerie at young girls?”, another added “yet another example of sexualising our young children”

Piers Morgan and TikToker who went in stranger’s homes get into heated argument live on air

‘It was a trend. I just done it for a trend’

Piers Morgan and a TikTok prankster got into a heated argument during an interview live on air.

The TikToker known as ‘Mizzy’ called Piers Morgan a ‘moron’ during the bizarre and heated interview on the Piers Morgan Uncensored show, on Wednesday May 14th — just hours after his sentencing.

Mizzy — real name Bacari-Bronze O’Garro — and Morgan got into a spat while live in the studio. As the pair continued to interrupt each other throughout, Morgan listed the numerous extreme ‘moronic’ pranks O’Garro has carried out.

O’Garro is the person behind a series of notorious viral videos including stealing a woman’s dog, ripping up library books and jumping into strangers’ cars.

The 18-year-old was also said to have put a family ‘at risk’ by walking into their home pretending he was trying to find a study group, a court heard. 

When Morgan asked why he would choose to cause ‘so much alarm and distress to so many people’, O’Garro replied: “This whole public uproar just makes me laugh because people are getting hurt over something that didn’t happen to them and that’s how I see it as.”

Morgan went on: “You go up and take a dog from an elderly woman, you leapfrog over the top of an orthodox Jewish man standing at the side of the road minding his business.

“You go up to women in the street and say, ‘do you want to die?’”

At one point the Talk TV presenter then asked: “A lot of the stuff that you do could have consequences far more serious but you don’t care do you, as long as you get a laugh?”

O’Garro replied: “Of course I care… I have remorse.” On why he pulled the pranks for social media, he said: “It was a trend. I just done it for a trend.” He then said he is his ‘own person’ and ‘I am legally an adult now so I can do what I want’. 

The pair called each other ‘idiots’, and Morgan ended the interview by saying: “You’re just a complete moron.” Adding: “For the record, he wasn’t paid for this.”

O’Garro appeared at Thames Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday (May 24th) and admitted failing to comply with a community protection notice. He was fined £200 and will have to pay an £80 surcharge with £85 in prosecution costs.

The teenager, from Hackney, east London, was also issued with a criminal behaviour order, for a period of two years, which means he can never upload a video again without the permission of all those appearing in it.

The CBO also prohibits him from ‘trespassing into any private property, including residential homes, business properties, school and retail outlets’, and ‘attending Westfield Stratford City.’

Detective Chief Superintendent James Conway said: “The CBO issued is a powerful measure designed to prevent behaviour which has caused alarm and distress to our communities.

“If the conditions are breached, at any point over the two year period, a custodial sentence can result.”

ITV issues new statement on Phillip Schofield after Eamonn Holmes’ claims

ITV & GB News

ITV has issued a fresh statement on Phillip Schofield’s exit from This Morning after Eamonn Holmes’ comments on GB News.

The statement comes after former star Eamonn Holmes reportedly claimed the presenter ‘was sacked’. Chatting on Monday on his GB News show, Eamonn said: “Oh please, let’s just stop this. He was sacked.”

Holmes said Holly was ‘false’ and a ‘backstabber’. He went on: “She made her name on the back of him. Excuse me.

“If she has her own professional integrity, why isn’t she coming out in public and saying I have my own professional integrity, he’s done something that will reflect badly on me but she again is being as false as he is and nobody is talking about the elephant in the room.”

GB News

In a short statement to Huffington Post, ITV stepped in to dismiss Eamonn’s claims. It read: “Phillip Schofield’s decision to step down from This Morning was (as his statement made clear) a decision agreed between Phillip and ITV.”

Schofield quit This Morning last weekend after more than 20 years following a reported feud with co-star Holly Willoughby.

The presenter ‘stepped back’ with ‘immediate effect’ and in a statement said the programme had ‘become the story’ and that he wanted to ‘do what I can to protect the show that I love’.

The move came after rumours were rife that he and Holly Willoughby were ‘barely speaking’ behind the scenes amid a ‘rift’ between the pair.

Issuing a statement on Saturday, following weeks of speculation that he and Holly weren’t getting along, Phillip wrote on his Instagram: “I have always been proud to cover fascinating stories on This Morning, but recently, This Morning itself has become the story.

“Throughout my career in TV — including the very difficult last few days — I have always done my best to be honourable and kind.

“I understand ITV has decided the current situation can’t go on and I want to do what I can to protect the show I love.

“So I have agreed to step down from This Morning with immediate effect, in the hope that the show can move forward to a bright future.

@schofe / Instagram

I’d like to thank everyone what has supported me – especially This Morning’s amazing viewers – and I’ll see you all for the Soap Awards next month.”

Holly, 42 also, issued a statement in response, sharing to her Instagram, she wrote: “Hi everyone…

“It’s been over 13 great years presenting This Morning with Phil and I want to take this opportunity to thank him for all of his knowledge, his experience and his humour.

“The sofa won’t feel the same without him.”
