It's April Fools Day - here are some of today's best pranks

It's the one day of the year we all feel particularly gullible.

April Fool's Day.

Every single year yet we're STILL somehow surprised by what we fall for.

You find yourself counting down the minutes until it hits midday until it's all over.

In the name of fun, we have rounded up some of the best April Fool's Day jokes.

Robot receptionists

Technology is certainly taking over, but how would you feel about giving your medical details to a robot?

Pennine Care 'announced' that Shirley-bot and Steve-bot will be the first two fully-automated robot receptionists.

They'll be unveiled at Birch Hill Hospital in Rochdale in October 2019.

Lager for little ones

We Are Lager Festival debuted its first ever lager for kids.

The Little Lager will be 'launched' at the festival in Manchester next weekend and will be served in half pint shatterproof glasses.

Of course, it is only available to drink with a responsible adult.

Milkshake sauce pots

Either this is a bonkers invention or a great joke.

But we imagine a lot of people have tried dipping fries into their milkshake - most likely at 4am when everything seems like a wonderful idea.

Heinz Creme Egg Mayo

Not even the biggest chocolate or mayonnaise fan can think this is a good idea... right?

Cadbury and Heinz have 'joined forces' to create the strangest Easter combination we have ever seen.

Broccoli Weetabix

We're all for getting your five-a-day but we don't think broccoli for breakfast will catch on.

Good try Weetabix, good try.

Spreadable tea?

Tea and toast makes for a perfect start to the day but what about tea ON toast?

Yorkshire Tea are up to some trickery by 'launching' the new Yorkshire Tea Spreadable.

Is it bad that we are kind of intrigued?

Cosmetic surgeon sent hypodermic needles in post to patient so she could treat herself at home after getting lipo

This pub was at the heart of a community - now it could be lost forever

Avocado cookies

There has been an avocado obsession for some time but an avocado flavoured cookie? We're not too sure.

Maryland may have just got us with this one.

Phillip Schofield turns '60'

So not so much of an April Fool's as it is actually This Morning host Phillip Schofield's birthday.

But radio DJ Chris Moyles has took the opportunity to poke fun at his friend claiming it his 60th birthday - and now it is actually trending on Twitter.

Rylan Clark-Neal to present This Morning - from the moon

Now this would be a first and something we'd quite like to see.

But we have a feeling it isn't going to happen.

Sorry to dissapoint.

Piers Morgan behind bars

There's probably many people who'd actually like this to be true - but we don't think it quite is.

Brexit

The one we probably wish was an April Fools but sadly, it'll still be happening beyond midday on April 1.

But this tweet sums it up from 'Prince Charles'.

Three teenagers arrested after 16-year-old stabbed in 'mass brawl with 50 to 60 kids' outside restaurant

Dramatic pictures show the moment a young girl with a knife is arrested in Piccadilly Gardens
