Captain America: Brave New World isn’t a return to form for the MCU, but it’s still entertaining action movie – here’s our review.

Sony has confirmed they’ll publish future FromSoftware games. Here’s what this means for Elden Ring and Bloodborne.

Elden Ring Nightreign developers have confirmed that players won’t get a horse this time around, but that may not be a bad thing.

When Calls the Heart Season 12 Episode dropped the biggest cameo yet into Hope Valley, and there’s a chance they could stay for longer.

LOVE Island star Samantha Kenny has undergone a boob job after telling fans her breasts had ‘gone south’.

Samantha, 27, has had both implants and an uplift but admits she is “in pain” after the operation.

Still in her hospital gown and with a cannula in her hand, Samantha updated fans while still “high as a kite” in hospital.

In a candid Instagram video, the star – who was forced to remove her false nails before surgery – said: “I’m done. The nails are giving me anxiety.

“All done. Everything went very well.

“I can see them, only a little bit and everything is obviously swollen.”

Samantha, a former make-up artist, went on to praise hospital staff, adding: “I’m in a bit of pain. You know, yeah I am in pain.

“But I think the worst thing about it all is the anaesthesia. The nausea you get after it is, urgh. Like, when you come round, you’re high as a kite.”

The night before her cosmetic surgery, Samantha had explained to her army of followers what she was having done.

The 2024 Love Island star also ruled out appearing on this year’s All Stars series as a bombshell.

Sitting on her bed in pretty pink pyjamas, Samantha said on Tuesday evening: “I’m not just getting an implant. I’m getting an implant and an uplift.

“Purely because at the age of 27, my boobs are are lot further down south than I’d like them to be.

“So we thought it was best that we did opt for the implant as well as the uplift.

“I’m only getting a 280CC which isn’t big at all. I am only small and I am only petite so I just wanted it to fit my frame.

“Plus, I want them to look natural-ish, but obviously I want you to be able to tell that I’ve had my boobs done.”

Touching upon this year’s series of Love Island All Stars, which finishes on Monday (February 17), Samantha added: “Definitely, definitely no All Stars for me this year and I’m quite glad I’m not in that villa.

“They’re all killing each other. No, I don’t think I could handle it. No, not for me.”

Samantha entered the Love Island villa last summer as one of the original islanders and was initially coupled up with hairdresser Sam Taylor.

But when celebrity bombshell Joey Essex entered the villa he chose to couple up with Samantha and Sam was dumped.

Samatha and Joey lasted two weeks but his head was then turned when his ex-girlfriend Grace Jackson walked through the door.

Samantha was left heartbroken. She then found herself being brutally dumped when Joey ditched her for Grace at a recoupling.

Amazon is offering a huge discount on its 40-inch 2-Series Fire TV, cutting the price by a massive 40%.

Usually priced at £299.99, this smart television is now just £179.99, and one of many tech bargains in a big February device sale.

Amazon Fire TV 40-inch 2-Series,
£179.99 (was £299.99)

This is the first major sale on Amazon devices we’ve seen this year.

Among the various tech deals on offer are smart doorbells, Echo speakers and security cams – but some of the best discounts are on TVs.

The Fire TV 40-inch 2-Series is a great option for smaller spaces like spare rooms, kids’ bedrooms, or even kitchen counters.

It’s a Full HD rather than 4K television – but don’t let that put you off, since 4K can’t be properly appreciated with TVs of this size.

If you’re looking for a proper level-up, it’s definitely worth looking at the deals on Amazon’s larger, higher-spec Omni TV range.

That includes the 50-inch (£399.99, was £649.99), 55-inch (£449.99, was £749.99) and 65-inch (£849.99, was £999.99) sets.

But if you’re after a bargain telly of a moderate size, the 40-inch 2-Series is an absolute steal at well under £200.

It comes with Amazon’s Fire TV platform – that’s the same smart hub you’ll find in the retailer’s line of streaming sticks, which are also on sale.

This essentially puts all your entertainment in one place: live TV, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, video games and music.

These are all services you’ll need to pay for, but if you’re after something free, apps like YouTube, Freevee, and Pluto TV let you watch films and shows without spending a penny.

This TV is also designed to work seamlessly with other Fire TV devices, so you can pick up where you left off in another room.

It will keep getting smarter too, since Alexa is continuously updated with new features and abilities over time.

The included Alexa Voice Remote makes everything simple – just press and ask the voice assistant to find shows, check sports scores or even operate connected smart gadgets.

The TV also has two HDMI ports for connecting things like satellite boxes or gaming consoles, plus an HDMI ARC input for extra sound equipment.

Gaming fans will likely appreciate the Fire TV’s compatibility with Amazon Luna and the Appstore, giving you access to loads of games.

Shoppers on the Amazon website have given it an average rating of 4.3 out of 5.

“Never thought of buying an Amazon Fire TV before,” one happy customer writes.

“Good size TV… The picture is brilliant and bright. Good value for money. Would buy again!”

Another reviewer shared: “Brilliant TV. Good picture and sound. Was very easy to set up for streaming channels.

“Just connected PlayStation to it, also easy to do. Only niggle is the remote control is very small and light, making it quite sensitive at times.”

“Great TV for the money,” a third buyer added. “[I] bought for occasional use in the kitchen.

“Great picture from all angles and the sound is good. Apps open quickly, no delay.”

Kanye West’s recent online outbursts stir up many emotions – shock, disgust, anger, outrage, horror.

But the one feeling that is perhaps the most appropriate is much harder for most of us to feel. Sympathy.

Kanye’s money-spinning collaboration with disgraced rapper P Diddy has provoked further backlash[/caption]

The disgraced rapper has deactivated his X account after hailing himself a Nazi, praising Hitler and spewing hate against the Jewish community in an hours-long anti-Semitic rant.

The hate Yeezy is spreading on social media is absolutely atrocious, of course, but we are not dealing with someone in their right mind here.

Kanye is clearly unwell, but instead of getting the help he couldn’t be making it more obvious that he needs – desperately – he’s being allowed to run riot.

No-one close to him seems to care about his mental wellbeing, or to have come to his aid.

Kanye is off the rails, and there doesn’t appear to be anyone in his life looking after him, putting their foot down and insisting action is taken.

Worse still, it’s almost like his erratic behaviour is being encouraged, because it’s good for business.

I am not sure of much that could be sadder, or darker, than being surrounded by people like that, as you go through an extremely challenging time in your life.

Profiting from you ruining your reputation and offending millions.

Making money from your madness.

Because in wildly depressing news, a source has revealed that every time Kanye goes on an offensive posting spree, sales of his clothing line soar.

Tellingly, his rants also included a plea to ‘FREE DIDDY’ in a reference to the disgraced rapper P. Diddy – AKA Sean Combs – who is currently locked up on sex trafficking and extortion charges.

The same week the pair announced a new clothing collaboration for sale exclusively at Yeezy.com.

“Although there is truly a lack of understanding when it comes to his fascist and racist tweets, everyone knows that Ye is doing this to sell clothes as part of this Sean Combs collaboration,” the source added.

Ugh.

Kanye was filmed during a manic crisis in Jeen-yuhs, a three-part Netflix documentary where he also asked the directors, “Have you guys ever been locked up in handcuffs and put into a hospital because your brain was too big for your skull?”

People are taking his words online literally when he almost definitely should not be held accountable for the increasingly offensive statements he is making.

Bianca seems unlikely to stand up to him[/caption]

Kanye has always spoken honestly about his mental health challenges, revealing he was bi-polar in 2016, although he said last week this was a misdiagnosis and he now believes he’s autistic.

He is causing massive distress with every word he types from his ivory tower, destroying his legacy as a legendary musical artist with every key stroke.

But who cares about that, if the money keeps on rolling in?

When little kids say they want to be famous when they grow up, they just think about the money, the adoration, the big houses and glamorous parties.

It ain’t show friends, it’s show business.

Polly Hudson

This is the ugly, lonely, bleak side of celebrity no one talks about.

As the saying goes, it ain’t show friends, it’s show business. 

And the cold, hard truth is that sometimes you will need to be saved from yourself, but there will be no one around who cares about you enough to do it.

BRITS may not be realise that are 180 tiny islands dotting the River Thames.

Not all of them are open to the public – but here are six of the ‘Thames Riviera’ islands with an interesting history, from the homes of beloved authors to rock star venues, wildlife sanctuaries, and even a floating spa.

Eel Pie Island

Eel Pie Island in Twickenham is the largest island in the Thames.

The island got its name from the pies baked using locally caught eels and served to passing river traders – something which no longer happens.

Eel Pie Island also has a rock star history. In the 1950s and 1960s, the island’s hotel was a popular venue for musicians.

Over a five-month period in 1963, the Rolling Stones played there every Wednesday.

The likes of The Who, Pink Floyd and Screaming Lord Sutch also played gigs at the Eel Pie Island Hotel.

While Eel Pie Island is not as wild as it once was, it’s still home to artists from potters to painters.

You can visit by venturing through Twickenham and crossing the faded-green footbridge over the Thames – it’s the only way to get on and off the island.

But be warned, you can’t visit very easily as the island is private and only open on specific dates.

The opening dates are usually in July, and December. In the summer, Eel Pie Island holds their open studios where local artists show off their work over two weekends – anyone wanting to attend will have to book tickets.

If you don’t manage to get access, you can visit the Eel Pie Island Museum on the mainland instead.

Famous author Sir James Matthew Barrie owned a houseboat on Tagg’s Island[/caption]

Tagg’s Island

You can find Tagg’s Island in the London Borough of Richmond – and it’s only 400 metres long.

The island is home to 62 houseboats, which is one of the biggest houseboat communities in the UK.

It’s only half a mile upstream from Hampton Court Palace and you can get fantastic views from the island.

To visit the island, take a train to Hampton Court station, then you can walk straight onto the island via the bridge.

In the 1880s, the famous author Sir James Matthew Barrie, who wrote the beloved children’s book Peter Pan, lived on a houseboat on Tagg’s Island.

Ham Island

Ham Island near Windsor has 37 houses and is also home to fifty rescue horses.

As well as the locals, Ham Island also has the Blue Acre Sanctuary for mistreated horses, and they are always looking for volunteers.

Ham Island is a great place for walking, birdwatching, enjoying the riverside scenery and enjoying a picnic.

Monkey Island

For anyone wanting to spend a night on one of the Thames islands, visit Monkey Island, home to the luxurious Monkey Island Estate.

The original two buildings were built in the 1700s and were used as a fishing retreat.

In the 1950s, the estate was transformed into an inn, and a footbridge was added to connect the island to the mainland.

The inn has since been transformed into a beautiful hotel across seven acres with 40 rooms. It also has a spa, restaurant, bar, and gardens.

One reviewer on TripAdvisor said: “The Floating Spa is an astounding experience. I can’t say enough about how staying at Monkey Island is a great way to enjoy a relaxing weekend away.”

Prices for an overnight stay start from £160 per night.

Runnymede

Runnymede is a water-meadow alongside the River Thames that is a 20-minute walk away from Egham station.

The island is the apparent location where King John sealed the Magna Carta in 1215.

A memorial for the Magna Carta was built on the island in 1957. That’s not the only notable significance of the island, it’s also where King Henry VIII is said to have courted Anne Boleyn.

During spring and summer, you can take a boat trip around Runnymede and Ankerwycke on a replica Victorian paddle-steamer.

Called Lucy Fisher, the boat ride takes around 45-minutes and costs £10 for an adult ticket.

Raven’s Ait

The small island of Raven’s Ait is found between Surbiton and Kingston on the Thames.

The Ait can only be accessed by the ferry from Queen’s Promenade on the south bank.

In history, it was the location where the Treaty of Kingston was signed in the 13^th century.

The island was once a boating training centre first opening in 1858. Now, Raven’s Ait is privately run and a very popular wedding venue with views of the River Thames and Hampton Court Park.

Along with weddings, the island also holds parties and fairs throughout the year.

For anyone wanting to take a look at Raven’s Ait without booking an event, The Harts Boatyard pub in Surbiton has great views.

One happy customer wrote: “It is lovely inside, you almost feel like you are in a boat. There is a great veranda and a lovely area to sit outside right by the river. You get a really beautiful view of the boats and Raven’s Ait island.”

ARSENAL are producing talented youngsters once again.

This season, teenagers Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri have gone from Hale End hopefuls to first team stars.

Arsenal’s trio of starlets Dowman, Ethan Nwaneri, and Myles Lewis-Skelly pose for a snap in Dubai[/caption]

And the same is expected of 15-year-old Max Dowman – who travelled with the first team for the Gunners’ winter training camp in Dubai.

The attacking midfielder has been compared to AC Milan legend Kaka by his youth coach.

While he was fast-tracked into Arsenal’s U18 team at the tender age of just 13 by former teen prodigy Jack Wilshere.

Even a staunch Manchester United pundit has waxed lyrical about Dowman’s exceptional ability.

However, he won’t be able to help Mikel Arteta’s injury-hit side out for the remainder of the season due to his age.

According to Premier League rules, no player below the under-16 age group can be named in a match day squad.

Absolute baller

It’s early days in Dowman’s development. So early, in fact, he doesn’t even have a profile on Arsenal’s website.

But according to reports, he is well known at other academies in the country who have approached his father to let him know of their interest.

For the moment, his future is being monitored closely.

Dowman can’t sign scholarship terms until he turns 16, before the  2026-27 season.

Incredibly, he only turned 15 on December 31. Already, though, he turned heads in matches in the Uefa Youth League.

Arsenal’s U19 team suffered a miserable campaign overall, finishing 26th in the 36-team table.

But Dowman was the bright spark, impressing in games against Sporting Lisbon, Inter Milan and Atalanta.

An attacking midfielder, he can play on the flanks, or as a No10.

Arsenal youth team coach Gus Oliveira compared him to a Brazilian great.

“He plays in the style of Kaka,” Oliveira told PL Brasil last year.

“He can write his name. One day he will play for the England national team and in the Premier League.”

Record breaker

Those comparisons to Kaka are obviously flattering.

But Dowman has been creating his own impressive history – breaking records in the Gunners youth team.

Last year, his goal against Atalanta in the Uefa Youth League made him the youngest goalscorer in the competition’s history – then aged 14 years, eight months, and 19 days.

When Jack Wilshere was coach of the U18s, he wasn’t afraid to hand Dowman a debut at 13 – again, breaking another record for youngest debutant.

After the game, Wilshere said: “Debut opportunities aren’t handed out lightly and Max has demonstrated over the past few months that he deserves this chance.

“He handled the moment admirably, sending an important message to the team that, when we introduce players, they possess the quality to contribute effectively.”

Dowman has been called up on England duty for the U16s and U17s, scoring three goals in eight games for the latter.

Red Devil praise

Dowman’s potential hasn’t gone unnoticed by sportswear giants, either.

Nike and Puma made early plays to sign him on a lucrative boot deal.

Eventually, he chose Adidas to partner up with.

And it’s not just in North London, where Dowman is being raved about.

Ex-Man Utd star Rio Ferdinand tipped the talent to follow in the footsteps of Ethan Nwaneri by starring in the Gunners’ first team.

“This isn’t to add pressure on these young players because I don’t want to do that, but I was just a bit disappointed in Arteta not giving Nwaneri a bit more of a chance,” Ferdinand said on his YouTube channel ‘Rio Ferdinand Presents’ back in November.

“I saw him come on the other day against Inter, not only looking dangerous, he takes the ball, retains the ball, looks after it, plays like an adult. He plays that Odegaard position.

“They’ve got another one under him by the way, a kid call Max Dowman. Please go online and check out this kid.

“He was 14, I saw him coaching 18 and 19-year-olds on the pitch when he was playing with them. And he plays a little bit in that Odegaard position as well, bad player.”

A RETRO cleaning product has made a surprise return to shelves – and shoppers couldn’t be happier.

Zoflora has an army of devoted cleaning fanatics who have cupboards full of their products.

And die-hard customers will remember one of their heritage scents from the 80s which smells like a “fragrant paradise”.

Now they have the chance to get their hands on it again, as Flowershop has made a return to Home Bargains for a limited time.

Zoflora first created the floral fragrance over 40 years ago, and the nostalgic scent is a “comfort” to life-long Zoflora fans.

It has now been reimagined for 2025 by the cleaning giant’s expert perfumers to evoke the fragrance of a beautiful blooming bouquet.

The classic fragrance is bursting with crisp green top notes and a heart of freesia and peony, blended with a musky, watery base.

A nostalgic fan favourite, Flowershop celebrates flowers from bloom to stem while delivering long-lasting fragrance to any home.

Zoflora’s expert perfumer said: “Walking into a flower shop is like stepping into a fragrant paradise – it is one of my favourite smells.

“The air is filled with a mix of scents from various blooms, giving the perfect blend of green and floral notes.

“The Flowershop fragrance from Zoflora allows that wonderful scent to be transported into our homes.”

The returning scent is available as a multipurpose disinfectant cleaner for £1.99 and concentrated multipurpose disinfectant for £2.79.

And shoppers are already racing to their nearest stores to get their hands on it.

One gushed: “Can’t believe it, this scent brings back lots of memories for me. I need this, I hope I can find some.”

“I don’t think I’ve been constantly checking home bargains so much in my life”, cried a second.

A third insisted: “The best. Should never have taken this off the shelves.

“Remember my mum using this as a child. It’s my all time favourite and waited years for it to come back. Keep it on the shelves this time.”

“Absolute classic”, chimed in somebody else.

A fifth added: “My mum used to use it all time in the 80’s/90’s before it was popular.”

Meanwhile, a sixth echoed: “This was the one my mam used back in the day. Takes me back.”

SHOPPERS DIVIDED

But not everyone’s convinced by the reimagined scent, as they claim it’s “not the same”.

One person said: “So upset it smells nothing like the original flowershop. This was the best fragrance! Please, please bring back the original scent.”

“It’s not as strong smelling as it was”, sighed somebody else.

And a third agreed: “It doesn’t smell the same.”

Elsewhere, meet the Zoflora superfan who uses the cleaning brand every single day and can’t leave B&M or Home Bargains without buying a new bottle.

Dental receptionist Gemma, 40, said: “I’d call myself Zoflora’s biggest fan – I am absolutely obsessed.

“You can never have too much and I’m always keeping my eye out for new launches.

“Even my husband and two children know exactly how and where to use it around the house.

“The amount I spend on Zoflora varies from month to month, but right now, I’d say my collection is probably worth close to £200 – I have over 45 Zoflora products.”
