The monochrome stackable tin has three separate sections for storing fresh items – with the labels suggesting it’s perfect for treats, cake and biscuits.

Measuring in at 26cm x 24cm it’s a great size too, and has a handle which makes it easy to move around.

The best part? It’s currently reduced from £14.50 to just a fiver, meaning shoppers can save £9.50.

Describing it online, Matalan bosses say: “Stash away all your delicious baked treats in this set of stylish cake tins.

“In a stackable design that’s a handy space-saver for any kitchen, these tins come with ‘Treats’, ‘Cake’ and ‘Biscuits’ slogans and a silver metal handle. Matching accessories also available.”

A savvy shopper shared the cheap find on the BARGAIN LOVERS – Poundland, Home Bargains, B&M, Primark, The Range & More Facebook group, which boasts 840,000 members.

“Same but price difference”, she said after spotting an identical version on Amazon for £29.99.

The post quickly attracted a flurry of comments from bargain hunters who were left impressed by the sale item.

“Got mine yesterday £5 at Matalan”, one gushed.

A second added: “I’ve got one they r a decent size and well worth full price.”

A third cried: “When I got mine from Matalan think it was like 10-15 pounds, this was nearly two years ago.”

“I have this it’s great space saver”, insisted a fourth.

STEVE COOPER tops the list of managerial targets Middlesbrough want to replace Michael Carrick.

The Championship side announced on Wednesday that the ex-Manchester United and England midfielder had been axed.

Carrick, 43, and his assistants Jonathan Woodgate and Graeme Carrick – his younger brother – have also departed the club.

That decision was made by chairman Steve Gibson following a four-week end-of-season review by the club’s hierarchy after their dismal second half of the campaign.

Carrick, who was the division’s longest-serving manager, led Boro from the 21st in the table in October 2022 to the play-offs.

That was followed by an eighth-placed finish and a run to the League Cup semi-finals but, despite a positive first half of this season, they eventually ended a disappointing tenth.

That has been enough to convince the club to look elsewhere.

SunSport understands that Cooper, out of work since he was sacked following a brief and ill-fated stint at Leicester in November, is among the top candidates Boro want to speak with.

He shone in the Championship at Swansea City by leading them to consecutive play-off finishes.

And he surpassed that at Nottingham Forest, achieving legendary status by guiding them back to the Premier League via the play-offs in 2022.

Cooper was axed in December 2023 and replaced by Nuno Espirito Santo.

Ex-Bournemouth and Wolves manager Gary O’Neil, who spent four years as a player at the Riverside, is another name among the favourites along with former Luton man Rob Edwards.

A COUPLE murdered their toddler grandson after he became an “object of abuse” in a campaign of brutality, a court heard.

Ethan Ives-Griffiths suffered catastrophic head injuries at the home of Michael Ives and Kerry Ives in Deeside, North Wales.

Jurors heard the two-year-old was “painfully thin and vulnerable” at the time of his death.

Ethan had suffered a “thoroughly miserable” life and had was an “object of abuse and neglect” for gran Kerry and mum Shannon Kayleigh Ives.

Prosecutor Caroline Rees said: “He was shown vanishingly little care by Kerry and Shannon and experienced casual brutality.

“He would have experienced pain and misery in the weeks before he died. He was severely underweight and covered in bruises.”

Mold Crown Court was told Ethan died from fatal head injuries from a deliberate from blow and a forceful shaking injury.

This was the “culmination of emotional and physical abuse on him by people who should have cared for him most”, it was said.

At the time of the horror in August 2021, his mum Shannon, 27, was upstairs on her phone.

Ms Rees said: “So it was either Michael and/or Kerry who were responsible for the deliberate assault which led to Ethan’s death. Neither offered a plausible explanation.”

The court was told there was a “pact of silence” by “team of two” Michael, 46, and Kerry, 45, to conceal the truth.

Shannon meanwhile was “unconcerned” about her son’s plight, it was said.

Miss Rees said all three were to blame for the cruelty inflicted on Ethan in his short life.

She added: “Not one adult sought medical help. Michael and Kerry sought to deflect responsibility for what happened and blamed their daughter Shannon for Ethan’s ill-treatment and death.”

Michael and Kerry deny murder, assault and neglect, while Shannon has pleaded not guilty to causing or allowing a child to suffer serious physical harm.

The trial continues.

Stacey, KSI‘s Golden Buzzer act, had proved a fan favourite throughout the contest, however the tide appeared to turn during the show’s final outing over the weekend.

Having sung Robbie Williams hit Angel and receiving major praise from the judges, there was shock when it was revealed that Stacey had finished in last place on the final night.

Stacey was ranked 11th and as such below all of her fellow finalists.

Since then, fans have accused the singer of ‘trying to rig votes’ by broadcasting live on TikTok during the final – something Stacey has denied.

Hitting back at the negativity she has faced since her performance, Stacey wrote online: “Some of the comments I am getting are hilarious. ‘You came last hahaha’ nope.

“I didn’t come last I came 11th out of THOUSANDS and I am incredible proud of that.”

She then added: “‘You tried rigging the votes by coming on tiktok live’ nope, I have been on tiktok for 5 years now and I have been [lucky to] have a large platform throughout this time.

“‘You looked like a drag queen,’ thank you, Drag queens are stunning.”

Stacey then appeared to confirm she was bereft by “personal stuff” which could have affected the end result of her performance.

Hitting back at critics of her vocals, she said: “‘You Sounded horrible you can’t sing’ that’s your personal opinion plus you try and sing live on TV in front of millions with personal stuff going on.’

“You can’t sing,’ the Simon Cowell gave me two standing ovations. And has told me he thinks I can sing. Who am I going to listen to?

“There is so much more I could say but I’m not going to.

“It’s sad that people are so miserable that they have to try and bully someone they don’t know on the internet for chasing their dreams and doing something they love.”

She then closed her message to say: “Shame on you.”

Magician Harry Moulding became the second ever magic act to win the contest.

He finished in first place and received the £250,000 payout as well as a spot on the bill at the Royal Variety Performance.
