Marks and Spencer launches new picky bits range for summer - and Michelle Keegan is already a fan (aff)

The high street giant has rolled out more than 500 new food and drink products for summer 2026, all designed around alfresco entertaining, BBQ season, sunny-day snacking and that classic picky bits tea. Think upgraded picnic staples and TikTok-inspired treats that are made to be shared.

From indulgent fresh cream doughnuts and updated Cookie Cups to Detroit-style pizzas, loaded dips and BBQ-ready hot dogs, the new Marks and Spencer’s range is all about combining comfort food with trend-led twists. There are also lighter options in the mix, including breakfast pots and refreshing drinks which have been created specifically for warmer weather eating.

With Michelle Keegan’s seal of approval helping to boost its appeal, the collection is already making foodies excited.

The TV star, who has just become M&S’s new Food Ambassador, has already listed her top products from the range in a new Instagram video, where she says “everyone knows M&S is the home of picky bits”. She has highlighted the Flip & Dip in both the creamy red pepper and the creamy basil flavours, the topped meze dip, the Turkish grilled pepperoncinis and mini fuets. She added: “I’m such a picky bit girl, that’s my favourite tea of all time.”
