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.

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.

EASTENDERS star Cheryl Fergison has opened up on her struggle to find fresh acting work and only earning enough to “keep the roof over” her head.

It came just days after we reported the TV favourite had scrapped her upcoming show in Lytham, Lancashire, due to “unforeseen circumstances.”

Cheryl Fergison, 59, who played EastEnders‘ loveable Heather Trott, took to her page on X to give a candid update on her finances following her Albert Square stint.

She wore a checked shirt and went make-up free as she opened up on her “minus” bank balance figures and juggling jobs.

Cheryl said: “I’ve been out of EastEnders for around 13 years.

“I’ve done jobs in between, I was in panto this year, but jobs aren’t continuous.

“It’s not kind of like being in a soap all the time.

“Unless you’re like George Clooney or an A-Lister American star that gets millions for their films, it’s very difficult to be, in inverted commas, rich.

“You just kind of keep by, you keep the roof over your head and that’s about it.”

The BBC One star added: “Some people don’t understand that like everyone else, we have bills to pay, rent to pay, we have to keep everything ticking. We have to get other jobs.”

Cheryl, who is currently on her one-woman stand-up tour, told how people “failed to realise” that “we still have to keep a roof over our head and the bills being paid.”

Admitting many actors can’t purely rely on on-screen gigs she continued: “It’s not a downgrade, its not terrible, it’s just life.

“I am, so grateful for having them [acting jobs] because I know I am lucky enough to do the job I was meant to do.”

She added: “Not all of us are rich by any stretch of the imagination.

“You can look at the minus in my bank account at any time.

EastEnders stars who QUIT

MICHELLE Collins has seen her second EastEnders stint boost her bank balance. Yet what stars have quit this year?

The Sun exclusively reported how Michelle, 62, was down to £20,000 in her company accounts when she agreed to a shock back-from-the-dead return to Albert Square last year.

Her character, Cindy Beale, was presumed dead off-camera in 1998.

Yet what about the 2024 exits?

Earlier this summer, loyal soap fans appeared to note how Stevie Mitchell had “quit” the long-running series.

It came after Alan Ford enjoyed just six-months on-screen.

Bobby Beale actor Clay Milner Russell also left this year after five years in Walford.

Fans also feared Martin Fowler actor James Bye would “quit out of boredom” over recent storylines.

Additionally, a host of stars have quit the BBC soap for Hollywood fame.

One of the most successful stars to come from the BBC One soap is Rob Kazinsky.

He played Stacey Slater’s brother Sean Slater from 2006 to 2009, he has starred in Hollywood blockbusters Pacific Rim and Captain Marvel.

Ben Hardy, who quit EastEnders as Bobby Beale almost a decade ago, went on to break Hollywood the following year, when he starred as Archangel in X-Men: Apocalypse.

Since then, he has played Roger Taylor in Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, and he starred in Michael Bay’s Netflix movie 6 Underground.

Michelle Ryan played Zoe Slater until 2005.

She starred as the lead in short-lived American series Bionic Woman from 2007 to 2008.

“But just have a bit of empathy for some people, when you see them doing other jobs.”

We recently reported how Cheryl has bagged a brand new acting role after struggling to bag new acting gigs following her stint in Walford.

She is now set to star in this year’s pantomime production of Cinderella at The Cresset Theatre.

The actress will be playing the Fairy Godmother during the festive season from December 14 to 31 2024.

It came after the screen star revealed a crippling new health battle after being diagnosed with womb cancer.

SOAP BOOT

Cheryl’s soap character, Heather, was a fan favourite on EastEnders until her untimely demise.

The actress’ character was bludgeoned to death by troublemaking Ben Mitchell in 2012.

She never chose to leave the programme, and the decision was made by EastEnders executives.

At the time, a source told The Sun: “Heather’s character has been hugely popular over the years, but the decision has been taken to cut her out of the show before viewers tire of her.”

Yet, back in April, she teased her return to Walford with a cryptic post.

Katya Jones has made an admission about her interactions with Wynne Evans on Strictly Come Dancing.

The latest episode of the BBC competition aired on Saturday (12 October), with the results show, which sent home the third celebrity, airing the following night.

Opera singer Evans received his highest scores of the series so far, but this was outshadowed by a furore caused by videos showing his background interactions with Jones.

After the Saturday episode, a video showing Evans awkwardly placing his hand on his professional partner’s stomach, in which Jones removed it and placed it on her hip instead, went viral on social media.

Later, a separate clip was shared from viewers who noticed that Jones refused to give Evans a high five while standing behind the show’s co-host Claudia Winkleman. Jones turned her back on Evans and seemingly rolled her eyes at the opera singer.

Many fans predicted something was “off” between the pair, with some adding they felt tension – but Jones and Evans, realising there was a social media furore brewing, shut down any suggestion of a feud with a video shared online.

However, despite Jones calling the fiasco “nonsense” and “absurd”, Evans still found himself receiving criticism, leading the pro to defend the star on companion show It Takes Two on Monday (16 October).

Jones said that she “can’t bear” seeing Evans in distress over the situation, calling the interactions nothing more than an “inside joke”. However, Jones admitted the joke was “silly” and “bad”.

After Evans said he can see why viewers “may have misinterpreted” his hand placement, his professional partner continued: “The idea that it made me feel uncomfortable or offended in any way is total nonsense, and those that have doubts, you guys have got it wrong. So hopefully this will be the end of it, and you just keep making me smile.

“I can’t sit here watching this man being portrayed as someone he’s not. In fact, it couldn’t be further away from the truth. So I have to make this absolutely clear that this whole incident, with the hand and the high five on Saturday night, was an inside joke between Wynne and I.

She then stated: “Was it a silly joke? Yes, was it a bad joke? Yes.”

Jones previously told her fans: “The hand incident that happened on Saturday night was a very silly inside joke between Wynne and I, so even the idea that it made me feel uncomfortable or offended me in any way is complete nonsense.

“It’s quite absurd, actually. Can we focus on how brilliantly he’s doing and what an amazing dancer he’s become?’”
