Aldi Is Bringing Back Its £40 Barbecue Pizza Ovens

With millions now cooped in their homes as a result of the government lockdown, many are trying to find ways of keeping themselves busy.

Well, you could do worse than using your time to become a master pizzaiolo, an ambition that Aldi is making much more realistic after it confirmed the return of its barbecue pizza oven.

Priced at just £39.99, the outdoor cookers mean your will be able to enjoy the doughy delights from the comfort of your own home.

Though these bad boys don't go on sale until 2 April, they will be available to pre-order from 29 March.

According to the budget supermarket, the nifty ovens mean you can cook 'quality pizzas' on gas and charcoal.

They included a ceramic pizza stone, two carry handles and an easy-to-clean stainless steel interior.

But we're not done just yet. They can also manage pizzas up to 12" in size, and, better still, they'll cook 'em in just 10 minutes. Wowzers.

Now, while it is certainly tempting to use the extra free time and warm(ish) weather to get out into the garden, police have made it clear that the lockdown is extremely serious and should not be treated like a holiday.

Chief Constable Ian Hopkins scolded those who have been seen going to supermarkets and loading up on BBQ food and booze.

Speaking to BBC Radio Manchester, Mr Hopkins said: "That's not acceptable. People have got to take this seriously. This is not a holiday. This is about saving lives."

But that doesn't mean you have to stay indoors and be miserable.

The Body Coach/YouTube

Thousands of people have been using their newfound 'me time' to get fit with the Body Coach Joe Wicks.

With millions of us now cooped up in our homes for the foreseeable future, Joe has been sharing online routines for us all to join in with.

But it's not just his fitness routines or his ripped physique that people have been impressed by, most just love his living room.

The daily PE lessons take place Monday-Friday at 9am via Wicks' YouTube channel, The Body CoachTV, and lasts half an hour if you fancy checking out how (un)fit you are.

Stay home, wash your hands, and don't be a div.

Let's all bring some positivity, support and fun to anyone who might find themselves in isolation as a result of the coronavirus spread. Need some entertainment? Join Isolation Nation: https://www.facebook.com/groups/coronasupport/
