Marks & Spencer has unveiled a new summer range featuring over 500 food and drink items, designed for alfresco dining, barbecues, and the classic picky bits tea. The collection has already garnered attention from actress and style icon Michelle Keegan, who has been named M&S's new Food Ambassador.

In an Instagram video, Keegan expressed her enthusiasm for the range, stating, "Everyone knows M&S is the home of picky bits." Her top picks include the Flip & Dip in creamy red pepper and creamy basil flavors, the topped meze dip, Turkish grilled pepperoncinis, and mini fuets. She added, "I'm such a picky bit girl, that's my favourite tea of all time."
