Tesco shoppers urged to act now ahead of major Clubcard app change tomorrow

TESCO shoppers are being urged to check their Clubcard app ahead of a huge change tomorrow.

The supermarket giant has issued a deadline for customers to update to the latest version.

Bosses have warned that from March 31, older versions of the Clubcard app will no longer work.

In an email sent to customers, Tesco said: “To increase your data protection and online security, we’re updating our Tesco app to a newer version.

“After March 31, older versions of the app will no longer work.

“To keep shopping and enjoying all of your Clubcard benefits on your app, make sure you have the latest version before March 31.”

Tesco said the behind-the-scenes update won’t affect its website Tesco.com.

Shoppers can update their Tesco grocery and Clubcard apps via the Apple App Store or Google Play.

It’s not the first time Tesco has made a change to its app in recent weeks.

The UK’s biggest supermarket axed the popular Tesco Pay+ feature from the app at the start of the month.

It means shoppers can no longer pay for their shop and collect Clubcard points in one swipe at the checkout.

A spokesperson for Tesco said the supermarket regularly reviewed the payment options available to shoppers.

This comes as Tesco shoppers are just realising the supermarket is giving out free products and discounts on receipts.

Britain’s largest grocery store is known for giving shoppers discounters through its Clubcard rewards.

But many shoppers are unaware that receipts are always a great way to nab a bargain.

In the past, eagle-eyed customers have gotten free Pampers nappies worth £10 just by checking their receipt.

Speaking at the time, the mum said: “It pays to always select receipt at Tesco, you never know what free offer would come your way”.

If you find a freebie on your receipt, you will then need to hand it over to a store worker to claim your item.

I found out I have breast cancer 5 days after my mum died from the same disease – don’t make our mistakes

WHEN Sue Ware was planning her mum’s funeral after losing her to breast cancer, she never dreamed she would also get the disease. 

But that’s exactly what happened.

Just five days after her mother Betty died, 59-year-old Sue, from Dunstable, Bedfordshire, was diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer after noticing redness on her right boob. 

She first spotted the change while still caring for her mum. 

Sue looked in the mirror as she was getting dressed and saw that as well as having redness, her breast was swollen and felt heavy.

But cancer was the last thing she thought could be the cause.

“I wasn’t worried,” Sue says. “I thought I’d knocked it against something while moving mum around the house.

“I showed my wife Linda, and she agreed it was a different size.

“But because I knew I only had a few weeks left with mum, she was my priority and I pushed my thoughts aside to focus on our time together.”

Still, the changes in Sue’s breast played on her mind and when the pain worsened, she saw her GP

“The doctor said it could be mastitis but seeing as I was 57 at the time and it was usually diagnosed in women who are breastfeeding, I wasn’t in the right age bracket,” she says.

“I was prescribed antibiotics and given an urgent referral to a breast screening clinic.”

But still Sue wasn’t concerned.

“I’d had a mammogram two months earlier which had come back clear, so I was feeling pretty confident,” she says.

Just days later, Sue’s mum sadly passed away. 

“Even though I knew the end was coming, it was heartbreaking to lose mum,” Sue says. 

“As well as being mother and daughter, we had become really good friends too.”

The same week, while lost in grief, Sue had her appointment at the clinic.

“I was given a biopsy and having worked as a play specialist with teenagers in an oncology department, I was pretty good at reading doctors’ faces,” she says.  

“After the procedure, they started mumbling and frowning at each other and that was the moment I knew it was bad news. 

“Linda was waiting outside the room, so I quickly got dressed and went to warn her. 

“As I hurriedly pulled on a boot, I told her I didn’t think it was as straightforward as we first thought. 

“Her face crumpled with shock and sadness, which pushed me to try to stay strong.”

As I broke the news of my diagnosis, tears rolled down my dad’s cheeks. It was horrendous, I thought he would die of heartbreak

Sue Ware

While waiting for the results and with the help of her brother Graham, Sue threw herself into planning their mum’s funeral, keen to give her the best send-off possible. 

The following week, in September 2023, Sue was diagnosed with rare and aggressive inflammatory breast cancer (IBC).

This type accounts for less than five per cent of breast cancers and tends to develop quicker than other more common types of breast cancer

“The shock was overwhelming,” she says. “I was stage 3B because it had been caught so late. 

“And the fact mum had just died of breast cancer made it so surreal, like an out-of-body experience.

“A breast cancer nurse assured me it wasn’t genetic and wasn’t exactly the same type of breast cancer mum had. 

“Mum had metastatic cancer – it started with a melon-sized lump under her armpit, which she’d initially kept a secret. 

“When it spread to her womb she had a hysterectomy, then the disease eventually spread to her spine and liver.

“I had all the symptoms of IBC – dimpled orange peel-like skin, heaviness, pain, and the redness that I’d first noticed.

“Still, I was told that even aggressive breast cancers like mine could be treated, and I was determined to beat it.”

Six days later, Sue attended her mum’s funeral. 

“I was so sad to say goodbye but relieved I didn’t have to tell her my bad news,” Sue says.

“Even though her breast cancer wasn’t genetic, I know she would have blamed herself for me having it.

“After the funeral, I decided to tell my dad George my news. I caught him coming downstairs saying how surprisingly uplifting he’d thought the day had been. 

“I looked across to my brother and sister-in-law Estelle and we all knew my announcement was going to crush him.

“As I broke the news of my diagnosis, tears rolled down his cheeks. It was horrendous, I thought he would die of heartbreak.”

That month, in October 2023, Sue started chemotherapy.

‘Life on hold’

“It was a very intensive chemo, epirubicin and cyclophosphamide, sometimes referred to as the ‘red devil’ due to the red liquid and serious side effects,” she says.

“After just one session my hair fell out, but I was prepared for it. 

“During my career I’d seen children and teenagers lose their hair and I’d also watched it grow back. If they could do it, I could. 

“I ended up pulling my hair out because it was so itchy, and my son-in-law Paul came round with clippers and shaved it all off for me. 

“I also had terrible nausea and food tasted awful, but I knew the treatment was a case of putting my life on hold for six months, then I’d be OK.”

The treatment appeared successful and scans showed the mass in Sue’s breast had shrunk from 26mm to 10mm.

In January 2024, the cancer was no longer in eight lymph nodes, only one.

Then weeks later, Sue noticed the redness was spreading – and in April 2024, she was dealt the worst news.

I caught my cancer too late, but knowing what to look for and early detection could save your life

Sue Ware

“I was told surgery wasn’t an option, because if they cut into the cancer, it would cause it to spread,” she says.  

“Through tears, I asked what that meant for me and they said my cancer was incurable. 

“I was really taken aback. I’d been positive all this time and then it was like everything came crashing down. 

“I wouldn’t get to see my 24-year-old son Ben achieve a career in creative writing, maybe not even making it to see him graduate after finishing his PhD. 

“And I’d never get to see my grandchildren, Oscar, nine, Olivia, four, and Ava, nine, grow up.”

She adds: “The impact of my disease and grief of losing mum hit me all at once. 

“The thought of leaving my wife, family and friends behind was just unbearable. 

“Linda and I went away for a weekend to grieve our lost future together, before breaking the news to family and friends. I also saw a psychotherapist and cried for an hour. 

“After that, I went from uncontrollable sobbing and thinking about what I’d lose, to being thankful that I was still alive.” 

Sue took part in a gliding experience, enhancing her renewed positive outlook on life.

“As I was in the aeroplane, I just thought, ‘I’m still alive so I need to keep on living’,” she says.

Now Sue receives ENHERTU, a type of chemotherapy that has been called a breakthrough in breast cancer treatment, providing patients with more time, every three weeks for her stage 4 cancer. 

“So far I haven’t lost the hair that has grown back since having chemo the first time, so that’s good,” Sue, who works with the Inflammatory Breast Cancer Network, says. 

“I do have to deal with nausea but some days I feel great.

“Doctors can’t say how long I have, but those with stage 4 IBC are given a 25 to 33 per cent chance of a five-year survival. 

“However, it’s thought ENHERTU is likely to extend life expectancy – it just hasn’t been used long enough for us to know yet.

“I’m responding well to it, so I’m staying positive. My family and friends have been my rock, including my stepdaughters Jo and Jenna, and I’m focusing on living each day to its fullest.” 

Signs of inflammatory breast cancer

INFLAMMATORY breast cancer (IBC) is a rare type of breast cancer, accounting for less than five per cent of all cases.

It tends to develop very quickly and symptoms can come on quite suddenly. They include:

  • Swelling and redness of the breast
  • Pain
  • Swollen lymph nodes
  • Firm or hard breast that is hot to the touch
  • Skin that looks like orange peel
  • Changes to the nipple (e.g. flattening or inverted)
  • A lump in the breast

Tests, such as a breast examination, mammogram or ultrasound, will be used to confirm a diagnosis.

The type of treatment depends on several factors, including whether your cancer cells have receptors for particular drugs, but may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy or hormone therapy.

Because IBC is fast-developing and may spread to other parts of the body, the outlook is generally worse than for other types of breast cancer.

At the time of diagnosis, IBC is either stage 3 or stage 4.

More than 70 per cent of women survive their cancer for five years or more after diagnosis.

This drops to 25 per cent at stage 4. At this point, the cancer is not curable but may be controlled with treatment.

She adds: “Mum lived for five years with her cancer, time which I’m so grateful for because we had such a fabulous relationship together. 

“Even when mum was unwell, we managed to visit her favourite restaurant Rockfish for fish and chips to celebrate Mother’s Day.

“What I loved most about her was the twinkle in her eyes. When looking at mum, her eyes could either cut you down quickly or wrap you in the warmest hug. 

“I’m also so grateful to her for taking a real interest in everything that I did.

“I really miss her. She was a real trooper over those extra five years and I hope I can be as strong as she was.

“Now I’m on a mission to urge people to trust their instincts and not just to feel for lumps but to look for other changes too – swelling and redness, pain, orange peel-like dimpling, changes to the nipple, and a feeling of heaviness. 

“I’m determined to get those symptoms printed as bullet points on the routine mammogram letters that hospitals send out when you’re due an appointment.

“I caught my cancer too late, but knowing what to look for and early detection could save your life. If something feels off, don’t wait.”

MAFS UK fans hit out at show star over cosmetic treatment warning ‘you’ll ruin your face’

FANS of a MAFS UK groom have shared their frustration after he got a recent cosmetic procedure.

Married at First Sight UK groom Nathan Campbell – who is now dating a stunning former Love Island star – has been issued a stark warning by his fan base.

Some have warned him “you’ll ruin your face” after he showcased the process for getting a cosmetic treatment done.

Come with me to @aliceburtaesthetics1 for a little self care day,” he penned in the caption of a video where he got injections.

In the video, Nathan explained how he was getting a “Profhilo facial treatment”.

Profhilo Structura is described online as a “cutting-edge injectable treatment” which is designed to restore facial volume and redefine contours.

The injectable uses hyaluronic acid to regenerate and reposition superficial facial fat.

Nathan explained how Profhilo “has so many benefits” and boasted how it “stimulates elastin production” and has a “tightening and smoothing effect”.

But despite Nathan being positive about the treatment, fans were quick to hit out.

“Bro u don’t need out,” penned one person underneath his video clip.

Another said: “You looked good before.”

“Don’t ruin your beautiful face,” pleased a third.

“Was this your first time or do you have it done a lot?” asked another, to which Nathan said: “First time trying.”

“Botox basically,” speculated someone else, to which another replied: “Botox relaxes your muscles. Profhilo does not.”

“Prophilo just made my face swell. It awful for me,” said another.

Someone else added: “Love bit of profhilo & lately I’ve had the profhilo structura.”

Mafs couples that have stood the test of time

Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.

The pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam’s Doncaster home.

Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.

Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.

Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: “I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out – and excited for everything to come.”

Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.

Owen recalled: “I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.

“While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.

“The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if I signed up?’

“A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.”

Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.

Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna’s vegan lifestyle, the show’s first same sex pairing are still going strong.

They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.

Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: “We’re not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship.”

While another person penned: “The best treatment.”

Nathan shot to fame on Married at First Sight UK last autumn when he married Lacey Martin.

The pair seemed to be going strong, but sadly split shortly after the show ended.

The Sun then revealed earlier this month that Nathan and Love Island beauty Abi Moores are an item following his failed romance with show bride

He and Abi have since gone public with the relationship and Nathan has spilled the beans on their first date. 

During a joint appearance on Fubar Radio, he told Bobby Norris: “She felt stood up because I went to her house, I didn’t actually go to the venue.”

Abi added: “I was at the pub.”
