The lovely tubs of creamy goodness will be available nationwide from 4th March.

They have, however, already started to hit some stores in the UK - so if you can't wait to try them, you might wanted to visit your closest Aldi store and have a look to see if they're in stock.

Aldi's not the only supermarket to have low-calorie ice cream on offer at the moment, as Asda has also recently launched a guilt-free ice cream that comes in three lovely flavours: vanilla, peanut butter and birthday cake.

The recent flurry of warm weather has well and truly had ice cream on the brain - and what could possibly be better than ice cream you can enjoy without worrying about the calorie content?

Nothing, we can confirm that nothing is better.
