With Easter fast approaching (and honestly, just for a bit of fun) we thought it was time to bring back the MSE Easter egg taste test.

These days, they’re a lot more than a posh pedometer, but with increasing features have come increasing price tags – with some costing up to £280.

Reports suggest there's been a boom in online dating over the past couple of weeks – after all, following your heart needn't take you further than your front door if you can find it on your screen.
