Nuts is a weekly lad mag published in the United Kingdom. It was the first weekly lads magazine to be published in the UK and is sold every Tuesday (originally every Thursday). The marketing campaign cheekily claims "Women, don't expect any help on a Tuesday".
This magazine has no connection with the former US satire magazine or Japanese manga magazine of the same titlecitation needed.
Many notable journalists make up the Nuts editorial team, including editor Dominic Smith (FHM), Deputy Editor Nick Soldinger (Now, Loaded), Art Director Simon Freeborough (FHM), Editor-At-Large Pete Cashmore (Loaded, The Guardian, NME, Marie Claire, Eve) and Frank Tennyson (Shoot).
