Many of us love a morning coffee boost, and investing in a coffee machine can make the at-home experience a lot nicer.
The Nespresso Citiz Coffee Machine has been reduced from £175 to £116.10 on Amazon right now.

The coffee machine is great for a quick drink fix.
Nespresso Citiz Coffee Machine £116.10 (was £175)
Buying coffee out has become very expensive, but sometimes instant coffee just can’t compete.
It may not be a household essential, but a coffee machine is nice little luxury to own, especially for those slow weekend mornings when you have time to sip at a frothy coffee.
With black and silver details, it’s a super-sleek design, and very simple to use too.
To make your coffee, you just have to pop a pod into the top, and then choose from two buttons – lungo for a longer, weaker drink or espresso for a more intense shot that you can drink straight away.
Seven coffee pods are included so you can get brewing straight away, but it also uses the size of coffee pods that are very readily available at supermarkets, so when you need a top-up you can get cheaper own brand versions too.
If you’ve got a thermal flask, you can easily take a coffee out and about with you, especially if you’re hoping the investment will save you money buying takeaway drinks.
The coffee machine has made its way into Amazon’s bestsellers list, so it’s proving popular online.
Shoppers are leaving their feedback on the Nespresso device, with one saying: ‘’Such a game-changer for morning coffees.
‘’Couldn’t live without it after I’d experienced having this.
‘’Easy to use, easy to clean, small and compact but still stylish on the kitchen side.’’
Another shopper commented: ‘’Great coffee machine!
‘’Love the style and colour, also fits cheaper brand coffee pods such as the Amazon range and Lidl.
‘’Makes lovely coffee, I’m so glad I invested in this machine!‘’
A third shopper added: ‘’A replacement for our old coffee machine which went well.
‘’We’re very pleased with it so far as it’s not too big and sits on our worktop nicely, plus it makes lovely coffee.’’

TWO years ago, I became a qualified nail technician and since then, have been through countless nail lamps.
The one that has remained my trusty companion has been the SUNUV nail lamp — and it’s been discounted on Amazon by a hefty 43%.
I’ve been using the SunUV lamp for years, and it’s the best nail lamp I’ve testedCredit: Supplied
SUNUV Led Nail Lamp, £69.99 £39.97 at Amazon
Whether you’re looking to save some cash by doing your manicures at home or considering a career as a nail technician, this nail lamp is one to consider, offering salon-quality nails at an incredibly affordable price.
We all know that as Christmas approaches, it brings with it events that can strain finances, leaving less budget for monthly salon trips.
So, now is the perfect time to save your pennies and put some treatments on hold by investing in a nail lamp.
The SUNUV lamp has over 2,000 five-star reviews, has made over 3,000 sales this month alone, and is currently on sale for just £39.98.
Who’s it best for? The lamp suits anyone looking to do their nails at home, all the way up to people looking to start an independent career in nails. It’s perfect for beginners as much as trained professionals due to its easy-to-use features and salon-quality strength.
What we loved: The affordability and salon quality, as well as its four different time settings, which include a longer time and lower heat setting for sensitive hands and the longevity of a manicure.
What we didn’t: I genuinely don’t have any issues to report with this lamp — it’s been my go-to for years.

SUNUV Led Nail Lamp, £69.99 £39.97 at Amazon
I tested this lamp as part of my review of the best nail lamps, focusing on how long it takes to use, how easy it is for beginners to get to grips with and the features that set it apart from other devices on the market.
The SUNUV lamp takes the top spot as the best overall lamp for me for several reasons.
Firstly, despite being a salon-quality lamp — in fact, many salons use it — it’s priced similarly to many flimsy starter lamps, making it a steal for the quality it offers.
While it doesn’t come with polishes, base coats, and tools like some others do, the durability of the manicures it delivers makes it worth purchasing those additional items separately.
One feature that I really love is the three different time settings of 10, 30, and 60 seconds, as well as a fourth option: a lower-heat, longer-timed 90-second setting, perfect for those with sensitive hands who may find higher heat intensity uncomfortable.
The placement of the lights inside the lamp ensures even curing, while the sturdy, detachable base makes pedicures much easier to achieve.

The base of the lamp is detachable, which helps with pedicures.
SUNUV Led Nail Lamp, £69.99 £39.97 at Amazon
Other salon-grade lamps, such as Glitterbels or Gelish, can sit at the higher end of the price range, costing between £250 and £350.
I’ve tested Gelish as well as other high-end lamps and still find SunUV’s lamp to be the best all-rounder in terms of value, affordability, and features.
For £39.97, you’re getting a salon-grade lamp that’s also compatible with a range of polishes.
The Verdict: can the SUNUV lamp offer the same manicure as salon?
If you’re looking to bring the salon experience home and save some money, the SUNUV lamp is the perfect deal to snap up right now.
Although you will miss out on the small talk and the thousands of colour options, this lamp will offer you pretty pedicures and manicures whenever you want, wherever you want, without the hefty cost of going to the salon.

The love story between Noah and Nick in the Culpables Trilogy has flown all the way to London for a version of its own, and the second part has just wrapped up its filming – here’s what you need to know.
Find out all the details about today’s most-followed romance storyline
The countdown for the third and final instalment of Mercedes Ron’s Culpables Trilogy, Culpa Nuestra, has begun – but the UK fans are wondering when the London version will release its second and final film, Your Fault and Our Fault.
Just like the Spanish version, it follows the story of Nick and Noah, who fall in love with each other despite being step-siblings. And of course, all the drama. The British version starred Matthew Broome and Asha Banks as the lead characters, and both will reprise their roles.
As we await the second and third chapters of the story, we’ve listed some information to keep all Culpables on top of the news.
Continuing the dramatic yet romantic ending in My Fault: London, the second sequel shows Nick and Noah embarking on a life-changing adventure that threatens their relationship. Nick begins to work with his father, and Noah starts a new chapter as a university student at Oxford.
Nick and Noah are now separated and meeting new people, which will test their love for each other as they find themselves entangled with temptation, rivalries and betrayals. Fight for love, or risk losing everything.

When are is the My Fault sequel coming out?
The sequel to Prime Video’s breakout hit My Fault: London is on its way. Good news for fans – Your Fault: London finished filming in the summer of 2025, and is expected to be out worldwide sometime in 2026.
As per the last part of the story, Our Fault: London has just started filming, and given the production timeline, it’s reasonable to expect that it will also be released next year. But news have yet to be confirmed.
If you haven’t been keeping up with the Spanish version of the film, both movies are available to watch on Prime Video. Its final part, Culpa Nuestra, will be released on October 16, exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. My Fault: London is also available to stream.
As reported by Amazon, Your Fault: London will have familiar faces and some newcomers. Meet Louisa Binder, Joel Nankervis, Scarlett Rayner, and Orlando Norman.
Louisa Binder will interpret the role of Sophia, a beautiful and ambitious young woman who will stir some drama in the relationship between Noah and Nick, as she starts working at Leiste Enterprises. On the other side, Noah will be busy with Michael (Joel Nankervis), an Oxford student who becomes friends with her, but secretly wants more.
Scarlett Rayner will play Briar, a seemingly kind and manipulative strategist who becomes friends with Noah at Oxford, but is hiding something. Then, Orlando Norman as Cruz, Ronnie’s right-hand man in the underground racing world.

Having tested plenty of the market’s best noise-cancelling headphones myself, I know how rare it is to see this spec list at this sort of price.
With 4-mic active noise cancelling, they block out the world so you can sink into your playlists, podcasts or plane movies in peace.
Battery life clocks in at a generous 22 hours, and the Rapid Charge feature earns you enough juice for three hours of listening on just a ten-minute charge.
They’re cleverly built too, with easy controls for calls, volume and tracks right on the earcup, and Tile tracking tech baked in so you can hunt them down in seconds if they go missing.
They fold flat, collapse down for travel, and even come with a bonus USB-C charging cable, which is a small but handy extra that makes them feel like a real all-rounder.

Do I need to be a Prime member to take part in Prime Day?
Never been a member before? You’re in luck – Amazon offers a 30-day free trial for newbies.
This essentially gives you full access to the mammoth sale and all the Prime perks, without spending a penny.
Just be sure to set a reminder – you’ll need to cancel before the 30-day trial ends to avoid being charged the £8.99 monthly fee.
If you’re planning to keep Prime long-term, you can save by opting for the annual membership at £95.
How much is Amazon Prime?
An Amazon Prime membership costs £8.99 per month or £95 for the whole year – but with all the perks on offer, it could save you a fortune.
Amazon’s yearly subscription service gives you access to a treasure trove of benefits, from quick delivery to binge-worthy telly and exclusive discounts.
The annual membership works out cheaper than paying monthly, saving you nearly £13 over the year – perfect if you’re planning to stick with Prime long-term.
Not sure if it’s worth splashing the cash? Amazon offers a 30-day free trial for new members (or anyone who hasn’t been a member in the last 12 months).
This means you can enjoy all the Prime perks, including access to the Amazon sale, without spending a penny – just remember to cancel before the 30 days are up if you don’t want to be charged.
The mega-sale features a mix of different deal types, including:
“Deals of the day,” which last a limited time – or vanish even quicker if stock runs out.
Limited “lightning deals” which appear and disappear in the blink of an eye once stock is gone.
Some offers (particularly Amazon’s own devices) will stick around for the full sale period.
How long will Prime Day 2025 deals last?
As mentioned above, Prime Big Deal Days is a two-day event that will take place between October 7 and 8, 2025.
The sale is slightly shorter than July’s Prime Day event, which gave shoppers four days of unmissable deals.
It was the biggest Prime Day event to date, with customers saving billions on deals across more than 35 product categories.
Our top tip? If you spot something you’ve been eyeing up with a massive discount, grab it quickly.
Hesitate and you’ll likely miss out – these deals wait for no one!
Does Amazon have Prime Day deals on everything?
Prime Day is a shopaholic’s dream, with discounts across virtually every Amazon department.
Here are several categories worth checking out:
Whether you’re shopping for yourself or hunting for gifts, you’ll find something on sale in whatever category catches your eye.
Can students take part in Prime Day?
Yes, students can get in on all the Prime Day bargains.
Amazon offers students a special Prime Student membership that comes with the same perks as regular Prime but at a serious discount – just £4.49 monthly.
Even better, students get an incredible six-month free trial (compared to the normal 30 days), giving you access to all the Prime Day deals without spending a penny.
To qualify, you’ll need:
A valid university email address
Proof of enrollment
The student discount lasts for four years or until you graduate (whichever comes first) – making this one of the best bargains going for cash-strapped students.
How do I cancel my Amazon Prime 30-day free trial after Prime Day?
If you’re taking advantage of an Amazon Prime trial to grab Prime Day bargains, you’ll need to cancel before your 30 days are up to avoid being charged the full membership fee.
Luckily, cancelling is a doddle – here’s exactly how to do it:
On your phone or tablet:
Open the Amazon app and tap the profile icon at the bottom
Tap ‘Your Account’
Select ‘Manage Prime Membership’
Tap ‘Manage Membership’ at the top
Hit ‘Update, cancel and more’
Scroll down and tap ‘End membership’
On your computer:
Head to Amazon.co.uk/gp/primecentral
Click ‘Update, cancel, and more’ below ‘Membership’
Click ‘End membership’
Select the yellow ‘Cancel My Benefits’ button
Click ‘Continue to Cancel’
Confirm by clicking ‘Cancel Membership’
Even after cancelling, you’ll still keep all your Prime benefits until the end of your trial period.
You’ll see the exact end date displayed on the screen after cancelling.
If you end up forgetting to cancel and get charged, Amazon may offer a full refund if you haven’t used any Prime benefits since the trial ended.
How often is Amazon Prime Day?
Amazon Prime Day typically takes place once a year in July.
The retail giant also hosts a second major sales event in October, known as Prime Big Deal Days.
In addition to these two events, Amazon runs regular sales throughout the year, including a Spring Sale in March.
The retailer also offers unbeatable deals during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so there are plenty of opportunities to save.
IF your heart races at the thrill of a massive bargain, prepare yourself.
Shoppers are in a frenzy over a chain of retail outlets where you can snag Amazon customer returns and overstock for an unbelievable fraction of the price.

TikToker Megan has shared a tour of an Amazon outletCredit: tiktok/@meganmariac
TikTok user ‘meganmariac’ posted a video of her haul from one of these locations, often referred to as a Trade Outlet.
Her video, which showed aisles filled with discounted goods, quickly racked up 180,000 views in less than 24 hours.
Meganmariac explained that she was initially on the hunt for a few personal bits, but the sheer volume of discounted goods – especially in the kids’ and tech sections – was impossible to ignore.
A toy originally priced at £30 was just £5, while an iPad case (RRP around £20) was a ludicrous £3.
You can find entire sections dedicated to children’s books, games, and paint-by-numbers sets for as little as £2, making these stores an absolute cheat code for Christmas and birthday gifting.
She also grabbed a £45 wireless camera for just £5, and a fancy smartwatch that would normally cost around £90 was only £20.
Even health and beauty items, like a box of Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid serums retailing for around £33, were down to a mere £6.
Her ultimate haul of an iPad case, a screen protector, and some adorable croc charms came to roughly a tenner.
The Golden Rule
If you’re expecting a curated retail experience, think again.

“It’s really overwhelming. It’s so busy here,” Meganmariac admitted.
This is the liquidation zone: the home of customer returns, minor packaging damage, and overstock.
Many of the best items are still sealed in plain brown delivery boxes, which means shoppers have to check the tiny labels to be sure of what the item is.
Where to find them?
While there are many places that sell liquidation stock, the specific “Trade Outlet” chain meganmariac visited has become famous for its Amazon-heavy returns.

If you’re based in the North West of England, you’re strategically placed for a bargain dash.
The chain has several locations, including major sites near Chester Gates (often situated opposite a Costco), Liverpool, and Trafford Park.
Top Amazon Prime Day picks

Amazon’s line of Fire tablets are great, all-purpose devices for browsing and streaming – especially for shoppers who want to stay away from the big bucks of more powerful devices like Apple iPads and Samsung Tabs.
It also doubles up as an e-reader, though dedicated book-lovers should gravitate towards the retailer’s Kindle range.
The Fire HD 10 is perfect for watching, reading, and gaming, and it’s 25% faster than the old model.
Basically, its engine got a major upgrade – it now has a powerful processor and 3 GB of RAM, which helps everything run super-smoothly.
You get awesome HD entertainment on a big 10.1-inch screen that makes all your games and shows look great with brilliant colour.
(By the way, if you want something smaller and cheaper, the 8-inch Fire HD 8 is also on sale for just £49.99.)
The tablet has serious stamina: you can binge-watch for up to 13 hours without needing to plug into its charger.
The tablet is durable, too, with a strengthened screen that Amazon claims to to be 2.7 times tougher than the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2022) in a drop test.
Need a good device to chat with friends and family? The 5MP front camera is way better for video calls than squinting at your small phone screen.
For storage, it comes with 32GB or 64GB of space, which is expandable by up to 1TB with a separate microSD card.
And this being an Amazon gadget, you can operate it via Alexa – it can help you out with streaming videos, relaying the latest news and controlling other smart devices in the same connected ecosystem.

Amazon serves up free video games to Prime members every single month – but claim this year’s lot before they disappearCredit: Amazon
Amazon runs a special scheme for Prime members called Prime Gaming.
Every month, Amazon will dish out a selection of free games that you can keep forever.
Usually the monthly haul is worth hundreds of pounds, so it’s not bad at all.
The games drop in waves every single Thursday, and by the end of the month, the full batch is available.
HOW MUCH DOES AMAZON PRIME COST?
Here’s a breakdown of all the pricing options…
Prime monthly (£8.99 monthly) – £107.88 a year
Prime annual – £95 a year
Prime Video (£5.99 monthly) – £71.88 a year
Prime 18-22/student (£4.49 monthly) – £53.88 a year
Prime 18-22/student annual – £47.49 a year
Prime 18-22/student monthly + 6-month free trial – £26.94 for first year
Prime 18-22/student annual + 6-month free trial – £23.75 for first year

But the games are only available for a month before they vanish from Amazon’s freebie list.
So you need to claim them before they disappear.
If you’re savvy, you’ll collect them all. You can bag September’s lot, and then get the October, November, and December offerings too.
You’ll probably end up with more than £1,000 in games from a four-month run.
But if you miss any of them then you’ll be too late – they’re then gone for good.
So make sure you’re hot on checking for the freebies each month. You can find them here at the Prime Gaming website.
Just note that you’ll need to have an active Amazon Prime membership to claim the games.

Always do your own research before making any purchase.
If you’re not a member yet, it’s well worth signing up for free for 30 days, and nab this saving while you’ve got it.
The compact charger packs a hefty 10,000mAh capacity into a device that weighs just 220g, keeping your phone powered all day without feeling like lugging around a brick.
It uses magnetic suction technology to grip firmly to the back of your iPhone, creating a seamless MagSafe connection that makes charging on the move feel effortless.
Compatible with Apple’s latest line-up from iPhone 12 through to the just-dropped iPhone 17, it’s built to snap on securely even if you’re using a magnetic case.
The Gxorul charger doesn’t just look slick, it’s fast too, with USB-C and USB-A ports capable of powering devices up to 55% in just half an hour.
Better still, you can charge three gadgets at once thanks to its combination of wireless charging, USB-C, and USB-A outputs, making it the perfect travel or commute addition.
There’s also a handy LED display that shows your remaining battery level and lights up with a green fast-charge logo, so you’re never left guessing.
It has a handy built-in stand, so you can prop up your phone at a 60-degree angle, ideal for video calls and catch-ups while your device gets a boost.
Portable enough to slip into your bag and airline-friendly at 38.5Wh, it’s a smart buy for workdays, weekends away, and even long-haul flights.
Shoppers are giving the Gxorul a near-perfect 4.8 out of 5-star rating on Amazon, which tells you everything you need to know about just how well it delivers.
Amazon buyers have been quick to praise its mix of muscle and portability, with one calling it “a powerful thing despite its diminutive size” and hailing it as “powerful and fast.”
Another reviewer noted, “The MagSafe connection is strong and the LED display makes it easy to track power.
“The 10,000mAh capacity easily gives my iPhone multiple charges, and the 22.5W fast charging is noticeably quick.”
A third impressed shopper summed it up perfectly: “Brilliantly designed magnetic wireless charging that grips and fits onto the back of the phone perfectly, even with a normal case on it.
This isn’t the only deal I spotted with serious savings.
Empire of the Sun was released in 1987 and is based on J.G Ballard’s novel of the same name. It stars Christian Bale and is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video

The war epic that catapulted Steven Spielberg into the ranks of Hollywood’s top directors is now available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
Empire of the Sun, which hit cinemas in 1987, features a glittering cast including Christian Bale.
Adapted from J. G Ballard’s novel bearing the same title, this 2hrs 32 min spectacle chronicles the life of Jamie ‘Jim’ Graham – portrayed by the erstwhile Batman actor – a well-heeled British lad residing in Shanghai during the early stages of World War II.
Separated from his parents amidst the Japanese invasion, he is ultimately captured and dispatched to an internment camp where he encounters the intriguing American wheeler-dealer, Basie, enacted by Of Mice and Men (1992) actor John Malkovich.
Striving to endure the severe conditions, Jim aspires to preserve his youthful innocence amid the turmoil and loss, reports the Express.
The cast also includes Southport-born Miranda Richardson, Nigel Havers known for Coronation Street (2009-2019) and Chariots of Fire (1981), and The Matrix (1999) star Joe Pantoliano.

Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes has awarded Empire of the Sun a critic score of 77%, while the audience score stands at a commendable 90%.
The film was highly acclaimed upon its release and is often hailed as the hidden jewel in Spielberg’s trove of blockbusters, with some asserting it surpasses the likes of Jaws (1975), Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), and Schindler’s List (1993) as his finest work.
Don’t just take our word for it, with one critic saying: “One of Steven Spielberg’s most ambitious efforts of the 1980s, Empire of the Sun remains an underrated gem in the director’s distinguished filmography.
“Stephen Spielberg’s graduation to grown-up film-making,” added a second, while another added: “Empire of the Sun is a great, overwrought movie that leaves one wordless and worn out.”
Matt, a superfan of the movie, posted on Rotten Tomatoes: “This is one of my favorite films of all time. I’ve been watching it since it came out and it’s just as good each time I see it.
“Absolute stellar cast and should have won a lot of awards. This is actually my favorite Speilberg WWII movie.”
Empire of the Sun is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV.
MANCHESTER UNITED fans are calling for a club legend to replace struggling manager Ruben Amorim at the helm.
This comes after the five-time Premier League champion made his punditry debut at Amazon Prime during the Champions League‘s opening week.

Man Utd fans want Michael Carrick to become the next managerCredit: Katie Chan/Every Second Media
That is none other than United hero Michael Carrick, who was joined by fellow club icons Dimitar Berbatov and Wayne Rooney, with whom he won the Champions League in 2008.
And Man Utd fans were left in awe with the ex-England international’s knowledge and insight while discussing tactics at the studio ahead of his other former club Tottenham‘s clash with Villarreal.
So much so that a number of the Red Devils’ faithful took to social media calling for minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe to bring the former Middlesbrough manager to the Old Trafford hotseat.
One fan tweeted: “I want Carrick!”
Another commented: “Would give Carrick a run.”
A third wrote: “Give Carrick at a run at it. If he’s good give him a permanent.”
This fan said: “Why is Carrick doing punditry? He should be at home planning the filthy 4-2-3-1 he’s gonna cook up for us in a few weeks.”
That one posted: “Carrick such an intelligent and good pundit.”
And another fan stated: “Michael Carrick doing punditry for Amazon, bring him to the club.”
This comes amid United‘s worst ever Premier League start which has seen Amorim’s men lose two of their first four matches, of which they barely won one.
David Beckham says he’s ‘fed up’ as he makes rare public comments about Man Utd problems
This follows the Manchester giants’ worst ever Prem finish last season, which saw them sink to 15th place under the Portuguese tactician.
But club bosses are continuing to back the 40-year-old as it is still early in the season.
Nevertheless, Man Utd would have to pay the ex-Sporting Lisbon boss a huge severance fee if they sack him before November 1.
Amorim would be in line to pocket a whopping £12million if he is axed before the first anniversary of him taking the job.
The United head coach’s coaching staff would also be in line for a pay-off if Ratcliffe decided to pull the plug.
Molly-Mae, 26, has now issued a statement on social media after a number of viewers complained about the National Television Awards result on social media.
Sharing a picture of herself on the stage, she then wrote: “Last night at the NTAs I shared a category with people whose stories will always be more powerful and inspirational than mine.
“I see that, I believe that and I want to acknowledge it again here.”
She continued: “It was only right to dedicate this award to the late Rob Burrow and his family and to the remarkable people in my category … this win belongs to them.”
However, even though the former reality star acknowledged that other nominees were ‘more powerful and inspirational,’ she thanked her fans for voting for her.
She added: “I’m so grateful for the recognition but even more grateful to have stood alongside such strength and inspiration. [White heart emoji]
“To everyone that voted … I am absolutely blown away. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
Molly-Mae admits she’s ‘so proud’ of Tommy Fury – as boxer stays home from NTAs to babysit
At the time of the ITV ceremony broadcast, Fans slammed the ceremony as they thought that ‘more worthy’ nominees should have gotten the gong.
Taking to X, one fan fumed: “Molly Mae winning an NTA over Rob Burrow or Amy Dowden is everything that is wrong with the world.”
A second stated: “If you want to know the state of tv these days… Molly Mae documentary beat Rob Burrow documentary. What wild times we live in.”
“All those wonderfully powerful documentaries and Molly Mae won!?” wrote a third.
I shared a category with people whose stories will always be more powerful and inspirational than mine.
Molly-Mae HagueInstagram
While a fourth added: “Molly Mae winning an NTA over Rob Burrow really reminds me how much I hate society today. And the mid-speech dedication felt false and completely inappropriate. His family’s face said it all.”
Speaking on Lorraine, Vogue said: “I’m going to plan a break up because then I’m going to win an NTA myself,” before she burst out in laughter.
The star added: “Yeah there were quite a few shocked faces in the room because she was up against Rob Burrows, Freddie Flintoff, Amy Dowden, incredible documentaries.

“I think there were a few shocked faces in the audience but she did pay tribute to Rob Burrows in her acceptance speech.”
She told the audience: “Oh my goodness. Honestly, just to be nominated for this award was such an honour.”
“I think as you guys saw, we were up against some seriously inspirational people in this category.”

She then went on to thank her production team as she continued: “This team has been the reason why this experience has been so incredible for me.
“I think with nights like tonight it’s not just about the talent. It’s about the people that make shows like these.
“I’ve learned so much, I feel like I could start my own production company at this point.”
She then went onto thank her family who she labelled as the “best support system.”
I think as you guys saw, we were up against some seriously inspirational people in this category.

Molly-Mae added: “And thank you to my own family who didn’t choose this life [of stardom] but came on the show for me because they knew how much it meant to me.
“You’re the best support system I could ask for.”

Here are some handy tips to ease the effects of cold weather on your hands …
A pair of mitts can really help your hands through the winter months.
Wear gloves outside so that the cold air doesn’t zap the moisture out of your skin.
For washing up, protect your hands with rubber gloves. Apply hand cream before putting on the gloves and the warm water will help the cream soothe your hands.
Dry, brittle and split nails are a real pain in winter, when our hands are craving moisture. The answer may lie in your food cupboard.
Rubbing olive oil into your nails and cuticles each day can strengthen and soothe them, reducing the risk of splits.
Nursem is a handcare brand started by former children’s intensive care nurse Antonia Philp, whose hands were left cracked and sore from constant handwashing.
Or, to soothe winter hands, try this. Blitz 100g oats in a food mixer until it becomes a powder.
Add to a bowl of warm water with 50ml of olive oil. Soak hands for 10 minutes before drying and apply hand cream.
Walmart will soon expand its streaming offerings to its subscription members, with the retail giant announcing a new partnership with NBCUniversal’s Peacock on Monday.
Starting Sept. 15, Walmart+ subscribers can choose to receive ad-supported versions of Peacock Premium or Paramount+ as part of their membership. Every 90 days, Walmart+ members can switch between the two services.
“The additional option of Peacock Premium adds even more value and more choice to our membership, without raising the price,” said Deepak Maini, senior vice president of Walmart+, in a statement. “This is just one of the many ways we’re evolving Walmart+ to meet the needs and wants of today’s consumer.”
The move could appeal to consumers who feel overwhelmed by the different streaming choices and give them a chance to sample what each platform offers without dealing with additional cost.
Walmart+, which charges $98 for an annual plan, includes free shipping, free same-day delivery on groceries and prescriptions, gas discounts and other benefits. Adding more streaming content could help Bentonville, Ark.-based Walmart compete with Amazon Prime, though Walmart does not invest in original content, unlike the Seattle e-commerce behemoth.
Walmart declined to say how many people subscribe to Walmart+.
In 2020, Walmart launched Walmart+, which competes with Amazon’s $139 annual Prime membership. Prime offers perks such as free shipping and streaming series such as “The Summer I Turned Pretty” and “Reacher,” action movie “The Pickup” and NFL football games.
Last week, Amazon announced that Peacock Premium Plus, the streaming service’s ad-free version, would be available on Prime Video for an additional fee, along with 100 other subscription options in the U.S. Amazon also said it had a multiyear deal for the Peacock app to be available on its Fire TV in the U.S.
Walmart has had a spotty track record on its own streaming efforts and currently does not have its own streaming service or produce its own originals. In 2010, Walmart purchased video-on-demand service Vudu and in 2018 partnered with MGM to create original programming for the platform. The retailer later sold Vudu to Fandango in 2020.
Before that, Walmart launched a web store to sell movie and TV show downloads but shut it down in less than a year after its partner, Hewlett-Packard Co., discontinued the technology for the site after it underperformed.
AMAZON has just slashed the price on a pair of wireless earbuds that shoppers are loving.
Right now, the Cillso H97 Wireless Earbuds are reduced from £129.99 to just £20.99, a huge 84% saving.

Cillso H97 Wireless Earbuds, £129.99 £20.99 on Amazon
These pocket-sized earbuds are packed with features you’d normally expect from big-name brands with triple the price tag.
The sound profile is a real crowd-pleaser, powered by 14mm drivers that deliver solid bass with oomph up to 90dB.
And thanks to ENC noise-cancelling tech, background distractions fade away, leaving you with clear music and clear calls.
While ENC isn’t quite as advanced as ANC, it is designed to make calls clearer, rather than blanketly blocking out all ambient noise.
The Cillso buds are also built for everyday life, boasting an IP7 waterproof rating that shrugs off sweat, rain and gym sessions.
You get smart touch controls to skip tracks, answer calls or adjust volume with a tap, much like pricer models from Apple.
But, unlike Apple’s offering, the Cillso H97 buds feature a dual LED display that shows exactly how much battery you have left.
Speaking of battery, these little earbuds clock in at around six to eight hours of listening per charge, with the case boosting that to a massive 40 hours, plus fast USB-C charging when it’s time to top up.
Shoppers on Amazon have been won over, with an almost-perfect 4.9-star average rating and 95% of reviewers handing them a full five stars.
One thrilled buyer wrote: “Absolutely fantastic sound! I was going to splash out on AirPods, so glad I didn’t, these are THE best headphones I’ve ever had.”
Another raved: “The sound quality is excellent, clear, crisp audio with surprisingly deep bass for earbuds in this price range.
The same shopper continued, “The noise-cancelling feature works really well, blocking out background noise during calls and when listening to music.”
A third said: “The battery display counted down remaining hours and achieved a full day of playback before recharge.”
With feedback like that, it’s no wonder these are quickly becoming one of Amazon’s most popular budget audio buys.
The Cillso Wireless Earbuds are still in stock at the time of writing, but at £20.99, it’s easy to see why shoppers are snapping them up.
I’ve also spotted a few other Amazon steals this month that are well worth a look.
AMAZON has cut the price of a heavyweight charging essential, and it’s proving popular.
The Ohoviv Fast Charging Power Bank usually retails for £139.99, but is now just £25.99.

Ohoviv Fast Charging Power Bank, £139.99 £25.99
That’s a huge 81% off, and this isn’t just any old backup charger.
With a mammoth 26,800mAh capacity, the Ohoviv Power Bank is built to keep your devices alive for days on end.
It supports 22.5W fast charging via USB-A and 20W via Type-C, so the latest iPhone 16 can climb to 50% in just half an hour.
That’s serious power in your pocket, with enough ports to charge three devices at once, so you can top up your phone, the kids’ tablet, or your earbuds simultaneously.
Despite all that muscle, the Ohoviv remains surprisingly practical, with a bright LED display that shows you exactly how much juice is left in the tank.
Built-in safety features keep voltage, current, and temperature under control, so your phone stays protected.
Amazon reviewers have been quick to sing its praises, with one shopper raving: “It charges my iPhone 15 and my partner’s Galaxy phone incredibly fast.
They continued, “I love that I can charge two devices at once. Despite its powerful capacity, it’s lightweight and compact.”
Another added, “Easy to carry as it’s not heavy, and doesn’t overheat when in use it. I love the screen that shows its battery life and the overall design.”
While a third wrote, “Good capacity, lasted well and charged my phone for 3 nights without needing recharging.”
It’s little wonder the Ohoviv has racked up a near-perfect 4.9 out of 5-star average rating, with more than 500 units sold in the past month alone.
But it’s not the first time we’ve seen a steal like this.
MILLIONS of us subscribe to Amazon Prime – but is it worth it? We take a look at what you get and how many deliveries you need to justify the fee – and how to get a discount.
You can sign up toAmazon Prime for free for 30-days or an annual membership costs £95 a year or £8.99 a month.

Its most famous perk is free and fast deliveries and access to Prime Video – but there are lots of extra such as discounts on cinema trips.
You can pay for Prime Video-only for £5.99 a month – but this doesn’t include any of the other extras.
Exact amount of orders you need to make Prime worth it
To justify the £95 annual fee for Prime, you need to save at least that amount on delivery costs and other benefits.
How easy that will be depends on what services you use.
For instance, Prime Video only costs £71.88 a year, so you only need to save £23.12 in delivery fees all year, to make the upgrade to Prime worth it.
But if you’re just signing up for the free delivery, then it’s harder.
For non-members, Amazon charges different rates depending on your basket value and delivery speed.
Here’s what it really costs without Prime, and how often you’d need to order to break even.
Standard Delivery (3–5 days):
Amazon ‘hiking’ prices ahead of Prime Day after shoppers claim company ‘great savings’ aren’t real
Free if you spend £35 or more (or £10+ on books). If you spend less, charges are £4.99 for most items, but just £3.99 for book-only orders under £10.
To break even:
19 smaller orders per year at £4.99
24 book-only orders at £3.99
One-Day or Premium Delivery
Costs £4.99 per order for non-members
To break even:
Same-Day or Overnight Delivery
Costs £5.99 per order for non-members. Prime members get it free on orders over £20, or pay £1.99 for smaller baskets.
To break even:
16 orders per year at £5.99
Pickup Location (Locker or Amazon Hub)
Costs £2.99 per order for non-members, but free for Prime members.
To break even:
32 pickup deliveries per year
How to get a discount
Almost anyone can start with a 30-day free trial, which gives access to every Prime benefit.
If your last trial was over a year ago, you can usually sign up again.
To get the freebie, click “Try Prime” and follow the steps outlined. You’ll need to add a payment method, but you won’t be charged unless you stay on past the trial period.
Each adult in your household can do this separately, meaning couples can effectively get two months free between them as long as they use separate email accounts.
If you’re a student or aged 18 to 22, you can get a six-month free trial, followed by half-price Prime for up to four years or until you turn 23.
To claim, visit amazon.co.uk/joinstudent or amazon.co.uk/18-22 and upload proof of eligibility, such as a university email or government-issued ID.
However, students that cancel during the trial and come back later, don’t get another freebie, only the discounted rate.
What benefits are included on Prime?
Amazon Prime now includes over a dozen benefits. Here’s what you get, how to access each one, and what it’s worth.
1. Free one-day and same-day delivery

2. Prime Video
Watch thousands of shows and films, including Amazon Originals like Clarkson’s Farm, The Boys, and new dramas like The Girlfriend.

3. Amazon Music
This allows you to access 100 million songs and top podcasts, but it’s worth noting that most albums only play on shuffle unless they’re part of Amazon’s All-Access Playlists.

COMMON PRIME DAY MISTAKES
Katy Phillips, senior brand and communication manager at idealo shares with Sun readers three common Prime Day mistakes
1. Buying something just because its discounted
An obvious rule that is often forgotten about is only buying something you actually need. Over half (59%) of those polled by idealo admitted that they ended up with a product they didn’t want after Prime Day last year.
Just because things are on sale, doesn’t mean you need to buy it! Keep a strict list if there are things you need. Nearly everything on the website will be marked as a ‘prime day deal’ regardless of whether the price has changed.
2. Not doing your research
A whopping 80% of Brits say they never price compare when shopping sale events but experts are urging everyone to spend more researching products before making a purchase.
Before you buy anything on Prime Day, make sure you compare prices elsewhere. Look on price comparison websites to see if it’s cheaper elsewhere and utilise price alerts where possible. These will send you notifications each time a product reaches its lowest price.
3. Not recognising scams
Each year a new scam will arrive just in time for Prime Day, ready to catch shoppers out. A common one includes hoax emails from the Amazon ‘Support Team’ were a new tactic used by criminals to steal people’s personal information.
If you see any emails or offers boasting £50 free to spend on Prime Day – they won’t be real. Make sure you’re on the real Amazon website also, as there may be links that take you to a site that looks similar to Amazon but isn’t the real thing.
13. Amazon Family sharing
Share Prime with one other adult and up to four children. You’ll each have your own account, but share perks like Prime Video, Reading, and Photos.
To set it up, go to “Accounts & Lists > Your Amazon Family” and add adult or child members.
Value: £95/year saved if splitting the cost of one full membership between two adults
14. Parental controls
Set up profiles for each child, limit screen time, and manage what they can access through the Amazon Kids Parent Dashboard. Works across Fire tablets and Kindle devices.
To access, go to parents.amazon.co.uk.
15. Buy Now with Prime
Use Prime benefits with the “Buy Now” button by setting your default delivery address, payment method, and delivery speed in your purchase preferences.
Useful for quick checkouts, though not available to PO Boxes or some business addresses.
HOW TO CANCEL YOUR PRIME SUBSCRIPTION
To cancel, go to “Your Prime Membership”, select “Manage”, then “Update, Cancel and More”.
If you haven’t used any benefits, you’ll get a full refund. If you’ve only used delivery, you may be eligible for a partial refund.
If you signed up via the Android Amazon app, you’ll need to cancel through Google Subscriptions.
Granted, Jumper might not be a household name, which explains the handful of reviews.
But, with a perfect 5-star rating, it’s clear it’s something of a hidden gem.
You get 4GB of high-speed RAM, 128GB storage and a 512GB TF card expansion.
That’s plenty of room to run multiple programmes without your laptop sounding like it’s about to take off.
For students, that means jumping between research tabs, lecture slides and last-minute essays without the dreaded lag.
Better still, it comes with a one-year pre-installed Office 365 subscription (worth £89.99).
That’s Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook all included, so you can get stuck into coursework from day one, with no faffing over extra downloads or hidden costs.
The 15.6-inch screen is a decent size at this price point; big enough for comfortable working and perfect for streaming your favourite shows after class.
One reviewer raves: “I was a bit sceptical about buying a laptop from a brand I wasn’t familiar with, but I’m so glad I took the chance
The same shopper continued, “This is a powerhouse for everyday use and an incredible value.”
Another parent wrote: “Gave it to my son for university activities. Speedy and reliable.”
At just 3.6 lbs, it’s light enough to slip into your tote or backpack without putting your back out.
And you won’t be tethered to a wall socket either. The 5,000mAh battery typically lasts six to eight hours, so you can work through lectures and still have juice left for Netflix.
One shopper summed it up perfectly: “It is light enough to carry around all day and the battery easily lasts for hours.”
It’s also kitted out with multi-functional ports, including Type-C, USB 3.0, Mini HDMI, and a headphone jack.
If you’re heading off to uni, pair it with one of the best extension leads I’ve tested to give your dorm a few extra ports.
You might also want to check out the best Bluetooth speakers we’ve tested for your next flat party.
And once you’re settled in, why not explore my pick of the top smart home devices to kit out your digs? You’ll find everything from smart lighting to robot vacs.
Unlike bulkier battery packs, this one is designed with portability front and centre.
It weighs just 192g, so it’s lighter than most out there and easy to slip into a handbag, backpack, or carry-on.
With a 10000mAh capacity, it’s got more than enough power to get you through a full day, and then some.
And because it’s well under the TSA’s 27,000mAh limit, you can safely pop it in your hand luggage for a mid-flight top-up.
It’s not just the size that makes it handy. It supports 3A fast charging, twice as fast as your average power bank, so you won’t be stuck waiting forever to recharge.
It also has smart safety tech built in to protect your devices from overheating or battery damage, which is always reassuring.
There’s a USB-C IN & OUT port, a USB-A port, and a built-in USB-C cable, so you can charge three devices at once.
Whether it’s your phone, wireless earbuds, or even a mate’s device, this little power bank can handle it.
There’s also a clever little design touch: the micro cable doubles as a lanyard, so you can clip it to your bag and keep it handy while you’re out and about.
There’s no guessing games when it comes to battery life, the LED power display shows you exactly how much juice you’ve got left.
“Compact, powerful, and perfect for on-the-go,” writes one shopper. “It’s honestly become a lifesaver for my on-the-go lifestyle.”
“A solid battery pack,” says another customer. “The in-built USB-C cable is extremely convenient, snug fitting in my phone and provides a nice, fast charge. “
Another buyer writes: “The wireless charging works flawlessly with my phone… The battery level indicator is a nice touch.
