SCOTTISH LOVE ISLANDER BIGGS CHRIS TO MARRY REBECCA GORMLEY

LOVE Islander Biggs Chris looked loved up as he revealed he’d marry fellow Islander girlfriend Rebecca Gormley in a flash if she gets down on one knee to propose to him. 
The Scottish hunk, a car repair specialist from Glasgow, who initially had his eye on twin Jess Gale when he entered Casa Amore, hooked up with Newcastle model Rebecca after leaving the hit show. 
Biggs and Rebecca who hit the headlines last week after she was accused of blackfishing after wearing her hair in braids, visited Glasgow’s The Dhabba restaurant for a double date with Chris’s parents. 
And Rebecca who had changed up her hair style following the controversy enjoyed  lamb cutlets, chicken curries and wine with Chris’s family in a corner of the restaurant away from the glare of the public.  
The couple later told theshowbizlion.com they enjoyed spending their isolation together and a loved up Biggs said: “I’m waiting for Rebecca to ask me to marry her. I’m waiting for the ring, she got down on one knee yesterday as a joke.”
Former Miss Newcastle Rebecca replied giggling: “You’ll be waiting for a long time cause I’m not getting down on one knee. 

She added: “I’m enjoying Scotland. The scenery is absolutely beautiful and the people are so nice. Obviously with lockdown we haven’t really been going out, just staying in. We came here tonight and we’ve been staying at a lodge in the Lochside hotel which was phenomenal. The scenery was so green and there were so many cows.”
The couple were even given a Bentley to drive around in while they were in Scotland. 
Rebecca added: "It’s been nice. We've been spending time here and then going back to Newcastle to spend time with my mam and my brother. We’re splitting it between the two houses. I’ve been trying lots of Scottish food.”
Later on the couple took to Instagram but as Biggs cosied up to Rebecca in bed he said she stunk of onions. 
Rebecca said: “Our meal was so nice at the indian but I literally ate a full bowl of onions.”

YO! SUSHI GETS EVEN MORE AUTHENTIC WITH MENU AT NEWCASTLE LAUNCH

YO! Sushi has launched a brand new menu along with flagship stores in Sydney, Paris, Boston, New York, London and the rest of the UK.
The 100-dish Taste Of Tokyo menu boasts authentic dishes and brings the restaurant chain bang up to date with all things cool Japan.
As a big lover of sushi and YO!'s conveyer (kaiten) belt which tempts diners by showing them endless streams of appetising grub, (veteran telly fans think edible Generation Game) the Showbiz Lion was thrilled to be invited down to the new Flagship store in Newcastle.
Of course we're regulars at the Edinburgh Harvey Nicks store as well as the Buchanan Street and Silverburn stores in Glasgow but it's always nice to travel, especially to Geordie Shore land.
The store there boasts a flagship 69-cover restaurant on Grainger Street in the heart of the city, and the opening party was something else.
Walking in, it felt like we'd just landed in Tokyo.
Gwen Stefani and her Harajuku
Lovers could have been at the next table while K Poppers SuJu and bands like Baby Metal might have been in the booth opposite.



The interior takes inspiration from the city’s unmistakable street culture and creative energy and features a slogan wall which runs the full length of the restaurant, capturing the essence of life in this unique, fast moving, neon metropolis.



The food wasn't just raw fish - and our party got tucked into beef and numerous deep fried chicken wings as well as salmon, edemame beans and dumplings. Oh and there were cocktails and authentic Japanese beer too.
The opening party boasted a visit from Miss Newcastle herself as well as a DJ set from Let There Be House master of the decks Glen Horsborough.


Founded in 1997, six million guests now dine in YO! Sushi every year, and the numbers are set to increase.
We Gaijins (Japanese word for foreigners) were made to feel right at home and with a 'Wey Aye Man' here and there we soon got the party started.


Highlights on the new TASTE OF TOKYO menu include:


Okonomiyaki - Hot on the food scene in Tokyo, Okonomiyaki is a popular street food consisting of batter and cabbage served with a variety of toppings. Okonomiyaki translated into English means "As- you-like-it Pancake". Full of flavour, YO! Sushi’s Okonomiyaki is topped with mayo, katsu sauce, spring onion, aonori, beni shoga & katsuoboshi.


Chazuke - A traditional Japanese rice dish made with green tea, Chazuke has been served in Tokyo for centuries. It is the simplest of pleasures and is now available for the first time at YO! Sushi where it is served with nori, sesame paste, salmon & sea bass, oba leaf, yuzu koshu furikake seasoning & umami dashi.


Ginza Roll – As exclusive as the district it’s named after in Tokyo – this new roll contains fresh salmon, cream cheese, cucumber and arenkha caviar. Finished by rolling in crispy shallots and drizzled with teriyaki, sriracha & Japanese mayo.


Buta No Kakuni - A Tokyo classic! Always the first thing our group executive chef orders in a restaurant, try this slow braised pork belly and daikon in a sweet soy sauce with rice.
