Valentine’s sausage looks set to sizzle

Channel 5, 9pm

-

AN award-winning Cornish butcher wanting to put a little love into this year’s lockdown Valentine’s Day is doing so by launching a special new mouth-watering creation.

The Cornish Love Sausage has been developed by James Kittow, based at Kilhallon Farm near Par, and combines some unusual ingredient­s.

The twist comes with the combinatio­n of passion fruit and well-known aphrodisia­c, Cornish Mead, added to the Valentine’s Day banger’s usual

Cornish pork shoulder filling.

Mr Kittow said he could not sit back and watch Valentine’s Day pass without injecting some sizzle into proceeding­s.

“We’re pleased to supply many of Cornwall’s wonderful restaurant­s and hotels with our meats and it is such a shame that they are unable to open for the usually very busy Valentine’s Day,” he added.

“We hope they are able to be back in business again soon but in the meantime, we thought we’d sprinkle a little romantic magic with our new Cornish love sausage. It is made with the passion, love, and knowledge of our expert sausage makers.”

The fifth-generation farmer and butcher continued: “We’re hoping that couples will create their own special meal at home to enjoy and if they want something more substantia­l than our Cornish Love Sausage, our huge 1kg home-reared Kilhallon Beast of Beef clubber steak will most certainly hit the mark.”

A TALE of deception and betrayal, the story of the disappeara­nce of nine-yearold Shannon Matthews could have come straight out of a crime novel.

When she vanished in February 2008, just nine months after the disappeara­nce of Madeleine McCann, it sparked one of Britain’s biggest ever investigat­ions.

This documentar­y tells the story from the beginning, including the exhaustive search for Shannon, the joy of her discovery and then the shocking truth of what had really happened.

The school girl’s kidnap had been planned by her own mother Karen Matthews, along with her partner’s uncle

Michael Donovan, in

a scheme to generate money from publicity.

Watch out for unseen footage, a first-time interview with Shannon’s best friend Megan Aldridge, as well as interviews with community members and police.

Megan says: “It got to the point where I thought, ‘They’re not going to find her, she’s not going to come home. She’s dead’.”

An extraordin­ary tale that appalled the nation.
