A 14-year-old girl appeared at Swansea Crown Court today charged with three counts of attempted murder, which she denies.

The teen, who legally can’t be named, has admitted three counts of wounding with intent and possession of a bladed article on a school premises.

A two week trial is due to begin at the same court on September 30.

The girl, who was aged 13 at the time, was remanded into secure youth detention accommodation.

Pupils were kept in classrooms during a “code red” lockdown after teachers Fiona Elias and Liz Hopkin were knifed.

A girl was also injured in the frenzy, which saw police swarm the school.

The rampage came to an end when hero teacher Darrell Campbell “wrestled the knife” out of the teen girl’s grip.

Mrs Hopkin, 53, who works with special needs students, was stabbed four times.

While drama and Welsh teacher Ms Elias, who is head of year, was rushed to hospital after being knifed in the neck.

All three victims have now been discharged from hospital after suffering non life-threatening injuries.

A FESTIVE favourite loved by households across the nation has caused a stir online after appearing to shrink in size again.

Shoppers are furious about the smaller size[/caption]

With Christmas 100 days away, he shared an image of one of the holiday’s most popular treats, Celebrations, to show how it has allegedly shrunk in size over the years.

An image shows three tubs on a kitchen table with a significant reduction in size between them.

The difference has left shoppers furious, with the tubs being labelled a “rip-off”.

Some are even calling for a boycott and are urging others to “stop buying them”.

Celebrations don’t appear to be the only item that has shrunk – Roses and Heroes also seem to have reduced in size.

“More plastic than chocolate,” commented Judith

Stella said: “I’ve stopped buying them as I’m getting only half of the tin for the same price. I buy bars of chocolate instead. Better value for the money.”

“Boycott them and don’t buy then they’ll be giving them away in January,” another person added.

Sue wrote: “Yes, just don’t buy them, it’s crazy.”

“What a rip-off,” penned Julie.

Glenn also shared an image of Christmas cakes lining the shelves in Morrisons.

This also outraged shoppers, with many saying that it’s only September and far too early for these sorts of items to appear in stores.

It has been reported that tubs of chocolates started appearing in shops as early as July this year.

With Halloween and Bonfire Night still ahead, many feel that it is simply not the right time to be selling Christmas treats.

“Really. Absolutely ridiculous.” wrote John

Antony said: “Ban Christmas stuff until December.”

“Yes, I saw it all last week. Too early” Patricia added.

“Far too early,” Lorraine commented.

However, not everyone was opposed to an early holiday shop.

Jenny wrote: “People are moaning about Christmas stuff in shops already, well you’ve only got three wage packets left, four if you get paid before the 25th, so glad my shopping is all done.”

Celebrations were first launched by Mars Wrigley back in 1997.

But the changes that have been made to them over the past few years have not gone unnoticed.

The tins shrunk by 38 per cent between 2008 and 2023.

This means that in just 15 years, the Christmas staple has gone from 975g to 600g.

And it now appears to have been reduced a third time – weighing 550g.

A spokesperson for Mars said: “We have been actively trying to find ways to absorb the rising costs of raw materials and operations, as we know the increase in the cost of living has impacted both consumers and businesses across the UK.

“Unfortunately, the growing pressures mean that more needs to be done.

“Reducing the size of our products is not a decision we have taken lightly but it is necessary for shoppers to still be able to enjoy their favourite Celebrations treats without compromising on quality or taste.

“The tub itself has also reduced in order to reduce the plastic used in the packaging by 17% to help us meet our sustainability targets as a business.”

It comes after Sainsbury’s shoppers were stunned after spotting an iconic Christmas food which had already landed on shelves.

And Christmas fams can’t get enough of festive McVitie’s biscuits based on a classic bakery treat.

ONE of the Married At First Sight grooms leaves their bride FURIOUS just seconds after meeting as he can’t stop staring at her SISTER.

The new series of the E4 show continues tonight – and fans will see which remaining couples have been put together.

This evening will see Lacey, 27, tie the knot with Nathan, 24.

In an exclusive preview of their big day, office manager Lacey fights back the tears as she’s saying her vows.

Lacey says: “I feel really emotional.”

She then asks: “So is your type petite, brunette, big batty gal? Because I’m what you asked for!”

A not so impressed Nathan replies: “Yeah… yeah…”

Lacey picks up on his tone of reply and says: “You hesitated there!”

The camera then pans back at Lacey’s sister Paige and her mum.

Their mum tells one of the guests: “He thought he was marrying Paige.”

Nathan tells Lacey: “You look nice.”

“Nice?!,” Lacey questions back.

Lacey then says to camera: “Nice? I want beautiful. I want gorgeous. I want stunning.

“Your nan looks nice. Your mum looks nice.

“Nah!”

This isn’t the first dating show that Lacey has been on.

She’s already appeared on ITV2’s Dressed To Impress with her twin sister Paige.

Paige and Lacey describe themselves as “IVF miracle twins”.

Lacey was dressed by three style conscious single guys in an attempt to find love.

The girls are very close.

After it was revealed she would be on the show, her sister posted: “Wooooo yassss my incredible amazing twin sister you deserve the world!

“You are my inspiration I am sooooo proud of you goooooo Lacey gooooo Lacey gooooo Lacey goooo Lacey gooo Lacey!”

Despite being a serial dater, the stunning brunette has been single for the past four years, following the end of a 10-year relationship.

Lacey hails from Hertfordshire.
