Noel Fielding’s future on Channel 4 show The Great British Bake Off is unclear after he pulled out of filming his Apple TV Plus show. The comedian, 51, ‘had no choice’ but to cease his involvement in The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin due to his health.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins – same old story (Koei Tecmo) With its 25th anniversary approaching, the veteran PlayStation 2 franchise attempts to reinvent itself as a more modern action strategy game. If we were going to make bets on which franchise from the early days of the PlayStation 2 was going to survive all the way to 2025, we would not have put any money on Dynasty Warriors. When it first appeared it was essentially a tech demo, with the novelty of having hundreds of enemies on screen at once outweighing the fact that the game was extremely shallow and…

Is Mario Kart 9 the sole launch game? The Monday letters page thinks the cancellation of Concord may end up being a good thing for Sony, as one reader welcomes Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered. Launch partnerNow that we’ve had a few days to mull over the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal I think we have to consider all the things Nintendo didn’t tell us. The most important to me is whether Mario Kart 9 is the main launch game. Mario Kart has never been a launch game before, that I remember, and it seems a bit of an odd choice…

Fans of Gladiators have been left disappointed after one of their favourite athletes was forced to drop out. Gladiators viewers ‘devastated’ as fan-favourite athlete drops out after injury Series 1 of the reboot aired last year, and after proving a hit in the ratings war, Gladiators was recommissioned for another round, with filming taking place last August. The second revival of the iconic game show then returned to BBC this weekend with Bradley Walsh and his son, Barney, also back as hosts. But unfortunately for viewers, series 2 is missing one key person. Talking to cameras at the start of…

A reader looks back at his history with video game consoles, from the Atari 2600 to PS5, and laments the end of major graphical leaps forward. A new year is as good a time as any to reflect, as well as look forwards. Which is exactly what I’ve done, but this time I’m taking a look at how each generational shift has impacted the visuals of our games. Now, this is entirely a personal view; I’ve not necessarily taken the industry standard of what a generation is and what machines are included in them – this is simply how I…

When Gladiators finally returned last year with its long-awaited reboot, the second I heard that recognisable, nostalgic theme tune play, it made my heart swell. That might sound dramatic… but as a 90s kid, Gladiators was a massive deal. The series transformed normal human beings into superheroes, and inspired me to never give up, no matter the obstacles in my path. My eyes were glued to the TV every week when it was on. So at 30 years old, when I was given the chance to visit the set of Gladiators in Sheffield, check out the locker room, walk out…

 Netflix viewers gobsmacked watching ‘shocking’ series about The Jerry Springer Show Netflix viewers have been glued to their screens watching adocumentary series highlighting the scandal-ridden Jerry Springer Show. First hitting screens in 1991, the American talk show aired 3,891 episodes over the subsequent 27 years. It became known for its shocking segments detailing cheating, incest and even bestiality, with guests also frequently trading blows on stage as the studio audience heckled and egged them on. During its time on air, The Jerry Springer Show was labelled ‘reversible’ and ‘the worst TV show of all time’. It was also engulfed in…

A reader lists all the major Nintendo franchises and how they think they’ll take advantage of the Switch 2 and its new features. Like everyone else I watched the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal on Thursday and like most people I was a bit disappointed that it didn’t show more. I know the rumours said we wouldn’t get much in the way of games but even so, a couple of seconds of slightly dreary looking Mario Kart 9 footage is not quite what I was hoping for. That doesn’t diminish my interest in the console, it’s just obvious Nintendo don’t want…

In the noughties, Coleen Rooney simply had to walk out of Cricket boutique in stilettos, jeans and a nice top to cause a commotion. Those of us who are now of an age that requires a serious skincare regime quite likely remember that time well. Perhaps a few of us even spritzed ourselves in her ‘Coleen x’ fragrance, wore her George range, read her autobiography Welcome to my World, indulged in a few episodes of Coleen’s Real Women, or squatted to her Brand New Body fitness DVD. At an event to celebrate her new supplement range with Applied Nutrition held…

The make-up artist and influencer took to Instagram to share an adorable snap of her first-born, Lucky, two, peering in to the crib to see his new baby sister.

Jessica Alba has confirmed her divorce from husband Wash Warren after 16 years of marriage. The Honey actress first met the film producer, 46, on the set of 2004 flick Fantastic Four, and they instantly became close, before they tied the knot in 2008.

Taking to Instagram, the 43-year-old shared a statement with fans, announcing that they had officially gone their separate ways. ‘I’ve been on a journey of self-realization and…

After successfully banishing our queen Linda Rands, the Faithfuls on The Traitors have once again voted out one of their own after a fateful ‘slip-up’. And viewers are ready to riot over the mistake, jumping to Alex Oleksy’s defence after he was pounced on during the roundtable. The 29-year-old care manager from Whitby had been laying relatively low in the game so far, but one comment in Thursday’s episode wrongly raised suspicions. He had been explaining his suspicions to the other players, following Linda’s banishment. Alex said: ‘Looking at Linda’s voting patterns, she hasn’t thrown a Traitor under the bus.’…

The girlies joked we needed a bank holiday to coincide with the release of Molly-Mae Hague’s new docu-series. Although, it was said in jest (we think) Molly-Mae: Behind It All’s episode drop has stirred up an undeniable buzz. I am not immune to the Molly-Mae effect and so I was thrilled to devour all 96 minutes in one sitting. Luckily one thing about Molly-Mae is she knows her audience well and so we get what we need from the show. We want to feel like this glamorous woman with an Instagram feed that should be hung in the Louvre is…

An unexciting but successful reveal (YouTube) GameCentral muses over the long-awaited Nintendo Switch 2 teaser trailer and tries to decide whether it was a disappointment or a finely judged annoucement event. So now the Nintendo Switch 2 has been officially unveiled, and we know that all the rumours were true. For those that have been following the news they will have learnt nothing new from the reveal trailer on Thursday, apart from the existence of Mario Kart 9. But for more casual customers – who are always Nintendo’s primary concern – it was an effective, if clinical illustration of…

Short but goodSo I think the Switch 2 reveal was good. I know some people were disappointed it was too short, and only showed one game, but there was never any chance it was going to show many games. We knew that going in and I think as an introduction to Switch 2 it worked fine. Everyone in my office watched it and they all seemed to be impressed and intrigued. None of them had any idea it was on the way but a few then realised how long it had been since the first one had come out…

Jason Derulo has reflected on the terrifying moment he almost lost his life after falling on his head during a training session. The 35-year-old has been behind some of the biggest hits of the last few years, including Whatcha Say, Want To Want Me and Ridin’ Solo.

Robbie Williams has made a shocking confession that he once berated wheelchair users for not standing up at his concert. The Take That singer, 50, revealed that the incident became one of his most embarrassing moments ever, and that he tried to salvage the situation by performing Angels. The story came about when Robbie revealed one of his other most embarrassing moments, recalling when he ‘pooped his pants’ on stage after food poisoning. Appearing on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, he admitted: ‘It’s not the most embarrassing thing that happened. But yes, I did poop myself on stage…

Drake, 38,…

Inside Justin Bieber and Usher’s 17 year friendship after rumoured fallout Justin Bieber sparked fallout rumours after fans noticed his Instagram account was no longer following long-time mentor Usher. The Baby hitmaker has been staying out of the spotlight in recent years, living a more private life with his wife Hailey Bieber in California.
