DUNELM is selling a hanging egg chair for £199 after Aldi’s one sold out in minutes last month. The Singapore Hanging Egg Chair is being flogged by Dunelm just in time for summer, but you’ll have to fork out an extra £9.95 for delivery. This means you’ll be paying just under £209 in total. It’s not available for click and collect, so you won’t be able to order and collect it from your local store. The chair itself is made out of rattan and is pictured with a fabric cushion. It hangs from a chain attached to a metal base, making it perfect for swinging.

The treatment, called Phesgo, is being rolled out across England by the NHS and will be offered to breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. It will be available to people with HER2-positive breast cancer, which accounts for 15% of all such cancers.
