Super Mario Party Jamboree reviewed by Logan Plant on Nintendo Switch.

Super Mario Party Jamboree is an amazing follow-up to Mario Party Superstars and easily one of the best games in the series. Not only does it faithfully return to the classic formula established in the Nintendo 64 entries, it confidently improves upon it with a fantastic set of boards that introduce unique and memorable mechanics. It’s also the most flexible Mario Party has ever been, with tons of ways to customize your game, including its brilliant new optional Pro Rules that reduce luck-based elements and crank up the strategy for those who want it. The wonderful maps are supported by a great lineup of new and returning minigames and character-specific challenges that steal the show, even if I wish there were just a few more minigames in the rotation. The side offerings may not have much staying power, but when partying with friends and family locally or online, Super Mario Party Jamboree confidently completes the series’ redemption arc as its newest superstar.

Dr Michael Mosley’s last health tips have been revealed, as the first of a two-part special of his show Just One Thing, aired on Monday (14 October).

The TV doctor, who died after disappearing on a walk on the Greek island of Symi, was hailed as “one of the most important broadcasters of recent decades”.

The 67-year-old was found to have died of natural causes on 5 June after setting off for a walk from Saint Nikolas beach at around 1.30pm that day in searing 40C heat without a mobile phone.

Mosley was known for sharing easy tips, to encourage a healthier lifestyle, that could be seamlessly incorporated into everyday life.

In the special, he shared one of his most popular pieces of advice: having a cold shower in the morning.

He advises to start the process by working your way up, enduring the blast of cold water for 10 seconds at first. He recommends an average of 30 seconds as part of a regular routine, because doing it for longer than that has not proven to have any additional health benefits. There has been limited study into the technique.

In the programme, he tests the technique on a busy single mother of two, Jayne, who describes herself as “permanently knackered”. She confirmed that the technique left her feeling more energised.

The TV personality, who regularly made appearances on This Morning, found his passion for health and wellbeing following the early death of his father Bill.

His self-experimentation, he once admitted to The Guardian, was inspired by his father’s death as a result of complications from diabetes.

“No male in my family has made it beyond 72,” he said. “His friends said how much like him I was, so he was kind of a warning from history.”

He was the author of several books including The Fast 800, The Fast Diet, and The 8 Week Blood Sugar Diet.

In a moving post on Instagram, his wife Claire paid tribute to her husband as she wrote: “Michael was an amazing man. Thank you for seeing that too. We miss him so much.”

Michael Mosley: Just One Thing aired on BBC One and is on iPlayer now. Part two of the documentary is to be released on Monday (21 October).

MARRIED At First Sight viewers saw the third commitment ceremony last night – and the episode somehow ended with as many couples as it started with.

But to be honest with you, I’m just not quite sure how that happened…

So I’m going to talk to you guys about the four couples I think should have left.

I can’t believe that Richelle and Orson are still in the experiment, despite some of the stuff that she has been saying to her husband.

And I think that it could be the end for Hannah and Stephen.

Another thing that has crossed my mind how Polly and Adam’s relationship has done a 360.

In my last diary I mentioned that she shouldn’t be intimate with a man she can’t trust… but now it seems that the pair are somehow stronger than ever.

If you are as obsessed as Married At First Sight as I am, you need to keep reading, as I’ve got some thoughts...

Wife swap incoming!

I’ve seen the clip where Hannah and Stephen’s relationship just falls even further on it’s face.

I think Hannah should have just bit the bullet and let that man go because he clearly does not want to be there.

Based on last night’s clip I wouldn’t be surprised if Hannah ends up recoupling with someone else.

We’ve already seen the rumours flying around, but she wants to be there, she wants to work on her relationship.

But I don’t think that she’s going to have that opportunity with Stephen.

I can see a couple swap coming along.

Caspar and Emma – it’s just not working?!

7

Emma and Caspar are staying in the experiment despite sitting on the sofa three times and not holding each other’s hand or touching each other once.

Now is the time to say, you know what it might have worked on paper, but it’s not translating in real life.

We don’t really get on, so respectfully we’re going to leave.

Orson needs to send up an SOS flare

7

Richelle has sentenced Orson to another week as her husband.

She’s called him a cretin and said that she can’t stand him because he doesn’t stand up for himself and he’s not manly enough, but ironically when she does start standing up for himself at the commitment ceremony, she reigns holy hell upon him.

The contempt that she has for this man – and we aren’t really seeing the reason why?

The couple’s retreat will be very telling because there is nowhere to hide.

You spend a lot of time with the other couples and everyone gets an insight into your relationship.

That will be the undoing of those two.

I think Orson needs to send up an SOS flare and we will go in and rescue him because I think he’s going to have a hard week.

I felt it very uncomfortable to watch Alex and Holly last night.

When he was saying to Holly that he’s not an unapproachable whilst glaring into the depths of her soul, I found that really really hard to watch.

Holly then called him intimidating and explained that’s why she prefers to have the conversations in public.

It is actually quite similar to the situation with my former co-stars Brad and Shona from the last season.

I’m really hoping the experts step in before it gets to that point.

Holly will say crucial things like she feels intimated and feels silenced, but then back it up by saying they had a really nice week.

Who are you trying to convince?!

I don’t buy into Adam and Polly

7

Adam was so honestly about not fancying Polly, not wanting to give her mixed messages, now all of a sudden they are cuddling and kissing.

But I don’t see any emotional intimacy.

I’m sorry guys I don’t think I’m buying into this relationship.

A former actor from the hit TV series Lost has admitted that he now regrets his behaviour while appearing on the show.

Ian Somerhalder played Boone Carlyle in 32 episodes of the hit USA drama, having been one of the initial survivors of the Oceanic Flight 815 crash, along with the character’s stepsister Shannon Rutherford, played by Maggie Grace.

Somerhalder’s time on the show didn’t last too long as Boone was killed off in season one and made sporadic appearances in season three and six.

The role was one of Somerhalder’s earliest in his career, which later saw him cast as Damon Salvatore in The Vampire Diaries – but he has now expressed regret about his time on Lost.

Speaking to People, the 45-year-old said: “I don’t think I would really change anything other than maybe with Lost.”

He continued: “I maybe complained about craft service or something, showed up late twice, actually really late once. I was so tired from the night before, I slept through my alarms. That’s about as far as I can go.”

After starring in 171 episodes of The Vampire Diaries, and following the cancellation of V-Wars in 2019, Somerhalder has taken a step back from acting to raise a family with his wife, Twilight actor Nikki Reed.

“Once you reach a certain level, you’re like, ‘Okay, I want to focus on family and the future of farming and food and energy and the big things,’” explained the star.

“I don’t need to chase awards and anything that would make me feel better about myself. It feels like it was yesterday. But then also too, you realise this was sort of lifetimes ago. I feel such enormous gratitude for this piece of IP and the journey and the character and all the writing both from Lost and from Vampire Diaries.”

Since its conclusion in 2010, Lost, which follows survivors of the doomed Oceanic flight, has regularly been featured on polls compiling the greatest shows of all time. It turned 20 in September.

The show was added to Netflix in both the UK and US.

ONE Big Brother housemate has had enough already and threatened to leave the reality TV show.

Daze, Lily and Ali have all received the most nominations and will face the public vote on Friday — but Ali has thrown her toys out of the pram and said there’s no way she’s staying.

Forensic psychologist Ali, 30, walked out of a heated one-on-one conversation with Khaled who had tried to make peace.

Trouble has been brewing between the Leicester lass and sales manager Khaled from Manchester after their personalities have clashed.

The 23-year-old has got on the wrong side of the fiery redhead and she has branded him ‘fake’.

Khaled told her: “You felt like I was being fake. You expressed it in front of everyone. That’s how you feel, that’s how you feel. The only thing I didn’t like was the insult.”

Ali responded: “Okay, I take responsibility for the insult as funny as I thought it was…”

She ended the conversation: “I am leaving. I’m sorry things have snowballed.”

Although they appeared to hug it out, the atmosphere was very frosty and Khaled looked frustrated.

Fellow housemates asked her if she was ok. She stated: “I’m not staying, not a chance.

“I’m going, I don’t want to be here anymore. Don’t tell the others, but I don’t want to be here.”

It all started when Ali accused Khaled of faking being “nice“.

Ali confronted Khaled and said: “I heard you thought that we thought there was a vibe up here.”

Ali went on: “You know what it is Khaled… I think you’re a nice boy.

“But I find, sometimes the interactions I find false and I find that very, very difficult because then I don’t wanna engage with it because I don’t wanna play into, like I don’t wanna be fake with you.

“And I don’t wanna be shaking your hand and hugging you when inside I’m thinking I just don’t buy it.”

Ali continued by noting that Khaled seemed to lack empathy during the eviction by yawning and acting bored during a stressful situation.

Khaled responded: “I wasn’t the only one, but yes.”

Referring to an earlier conversation, Ali said: “There’s no need for these long speeches about how you want check in on us and make sure we’re okay. It’s not authentic…”

Ali said: “I don’t hate you; I don’t dislike you. All of the good things I’ve said about you are true, but I think some of your interactions are false.”

Celebrity Big Brother winner David Potts watched the argument unfold from behind the scenes.

He said: “Khaled and Ali are going at it now.

“So they’ve just had nominations and that seems to be what they are talking about.

“But Ali and Khaled are going back and forth on it. And I can’t wait to watch.”

He went on: “Khaled is just giving Daze a hug, she seems to be really upset.

“Khaled has just stormed off! Dean is following him.”

Fans were left shocked by Ali’s behaviour.

One wrote: “I hope Khaled can instantly evict Ali… let’s get the bullies out early this year.”

A second posted: “Ali is trying to use her degree to belittle and indirectly bully Khaled… cute.”

A third said: “Ali is so fake, can tell she was the high school bully.”

Voting for this week’s eviction opens at 10.15pm exclusively via the Big Brother app, with viewers being asked to vote for the housemate they wish to evict from the house during Friday’s live show.

Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins champion Georgia Harrison has described the finale of the show as among the most “degrading” and “demoralising” moments of her life.

The reality star and campaigner, 29, was one of two winners of the gruelling reality competition’s latest season, after she and boxer Lani Daniels passed an SAS-style selection test in the last episode.

Harrison, Daniels, reality TV star Bianca Gascoigne and boxer Anthony Ogogo were the only celebrity contestants to reach the finale, after succeeding in an array of physically and mentally demanding challenges.

The final episode saw Harrison tasked with memorising a cover story and concealing secrets from an interrogation team in the face of tough questioning.

At one point, the former Love Island contestant was locked in a dog cage while fellow star Gascoigne poured a bucket of cold water over her.

“I really did think that the interrogation was going to be easy, because I would watch it on TV and think, ‘If that was me, I wouldn’t be shaking on the floor,’ but I really underestimated it,” Harrison admitted in an interview with The Sun.

“I was thinking that I could meditate through it, but it’s just so, so tough,” she added. “You get disorientated so much that you don’t know how long it’s been, who you’re with or if it’s even real any more.

“You lose all understanding of your surroundings. I was definitely hallucinating. It’s awful, excruciatingly hard, degrading, demoralising and one of the hardest things I’ve ever done in my life.”

As well as appearing on reality shows, Harrison has also starred in the ITV documentaryRevenge Porn: Georgia vs Bear, which saw the star open up about her image-based abuse trial against ex-boyfriend Stephen Bear, who shared a video of the former couple having sex on his OnlyFans account. In March 2023, Bear was sentenced to 21 months in prison.

This year’s season of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins previously saw actor and presenter John Barrowman leave the show just 32 minutes after arriving at base camp.

Former Dancing on Ice judge Barrowman declared that he was “done” with the show after being sick following the first challenge. “I thought, ‘I’m not going to make myself ill or hurt myself in order to try to prove something that I don’t need to prove,’” he told The Sun.
