The Aunt Bessie's logo has been scrapped in favour of a more "contemporary" younger replacement. The Yorkshire pudding brand has replaced its old branding, which featured an older woman with her hair tied stirring a bowl of batter. ### Instead, a younger "open-armed Aunt Bessie" with a "more contemporary feel" will front the the firm's frozen foods. Announcing the change, the brand said while it was a "glow-up", but was the same Aunt Bessie "that families can trust". ### TRENDING Stories Videos Your Say Claire Hoyle, the head of marketing for Aunt Bessie's, said: "Aunt Bessie is a national treasure who has been part of the family for decades, so we thought it was about time she received the glow-up that she deserves. "Her arms are wide open because that's what we're all about, welcoming people to the table, no matter what day of the week." He added: "Importantly though, she's still the same Aunt Bessie fans know and love, and have trusted for generations. "There are so many ways to enjoy a roast, so Aunt Bessie's is here to help families enjoy all their favourites and create more time together to make memories around the table." ### ### The company was founded in 1974 to supply Butlins with frozen Yorkshire puddings. Aunt Bessie's says it has not changed the foundational recipe since. The brand was sold to Nomad Foods, the largest frozen food company in Europe, in 2018 for £210million. Although primarily known for its Yorkshire puddings, the brand sells a variety of frozen foods, introducing roast potatoes in 1999. ### LATEST DEVELOPMENTS * Labour minister claims the idea of Britain's pubs, warm ale and black labs is a 'far-right fantasy' * 'Insane!'

Its branding - a landlord with a receding hairline in a rugby shirty - was replaced by a bearded, casually dressed man. Rory Hanrahan, a publican and author, told GB News the beer was pandering to "a concept of what we think kids want, younger people want". "None of these things ever work, and all you end up doing is devaluing the brand you already had," he added. ### ### In late 2024, iconic British car manufacturer Jaguar underwent a controversial rebrand as it pivoted to the electric car market. The manufacturer, dating to the 1920s, embraced a new philosophy of "Exuberant Modernism" and published a widely-mocked reveal video which contained no cars, but did showcase a group of diverse models. Nigel Farage slammed the brand at the time, saying he expected it to go "bust". Jaguar Land Rover has since plunged into financial turmoil - taking home a pre-tax profit of £66million in the first three months of the financial year, compared to £248million for the same period in 2025. ### **Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**

La noticia presenta 30 retratos vintage de Bessie Love, actriz estadounidense-británica que alcanzó fama interpretando personajes de jovencitas inocentes y heroínas en el cine mudo y temprano sonoro. Nacida como Juanita Horton el 10 de septiembre de 1898 y fallecida el 26 de abril de 1986, Bessie Love comenzó su carrera en 1915 tras ser descubierta por el legendario director D.W. Griffith, quien la renombró y la apodó 'Nuestra María' en referencia a Mary Pickford por su presencia en pantalla inocente y expresiva. Griffith la incluyó en pequeños papeles en 'El nacimiento de una nación' (1915) y como la Novia de Cana en 'Intolerancia' (1916), su espectáculo monumental. Bajo la compañía Triangle Fine Arts de Griffith, compartió pantalla con grandes figuras del cine mudo como Douglas Fairbanks y William S. Hart. Para finales de 1916 y 1917, Love ya protagonizaba melodramas como 'Una hermana de seis' (1916) y 'Nina, la florista' (1917). En la década de 1910, Love buscó independencia creativa y mejores condiciones laborales, lo que la llevó a firmar un contrato lucrativo con Pathé, donde obtuvo el raro privilegio de seleccionar su propio director de fotografía, eligiendo a Clyde De Vinna, quien más tarde ganó un premio de la Academia. Posteriormente, en 1918, firmó un acuerdo de múltiples películas con Vitagraph Studios, expandiendo su labor a la escritura de guiones, autorizando el guion para su película 'Una princesa yanqui' (1919). Durante los años 1910, Love generalmente interpretó personajes de heroínas delicadas, hijas obedientes o jovencitas inocentes en peligro. A pesar de ser estereotipada en roles dulces, los críticos destacaban la calidad 'sin afectación' y sincera de sus interpretaciones, sentando las bases para su posterior transición a roles de 'flapper' en los años 20 y su nominación al Óscar por 'La melodía de Broadway' (1929). La noticia se centra en los retratos vintage de Bessie Love en sus años tempranos, destacando su trayectoria profesional en el cine mudo y su influencia en la industria cinematográfica.
