Whilst the Foodi MAX Dual Zone Air Fryer enjoys a price cut in Amazon’s early Prime Day deals, dropping from £229.99 to £179.99, savvy shoppers will be delighted to discover that Ninja has reduced the cost even more dramatically.

Currently, Ninja is enticing customers with the Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone Digital Air Fryer, offering a further £70 discount when you use the discount code: AIRFRY, reducing the price to an even lower £149.99. For those who closely monitor bargains, Camelcamelcamel confirms that this price beats the lowest price the appliance has reached since Amazon’s Black Friday sale.

The Ninja Foodi MAX air fryer, lauded for its twin cooking compartments that allow separate dishes to be cooked simultaneously, has been creating quite a stir.

Boasting six adaptable cooking modes – Max Crisp, Air Fry, Roast, Bake, Reheat, and Dehydrate – this appliance is transforming kitchen worktops by offering an array of culinary options, from crisping frozen treats to reheating yesterday’s leftovers. Additionally, Ninja claims that its air-frying function cuts fat consumption by up to 75%.

Perfect for both meal preparation enthusiasts and entertaining guests, the air fryer’s generous capacity can produce eight portions in a single session, accommodating either 1.4kg of chips or 2kg of chicken with ease in each section.

It includes two non-stick, dishwasher-friendly 4.75-litre baskets and crisping trays to ensure cleaning up is as effortless as the cooking experience.

Shoppers adore this kitchen gadget from Ninja, with over 2800 5-star reviews amassing on Ninja’s own website. One thrilled customer gushes: “Can’t believe I waited so long before buying an air fryer, absolutely loving it, and glad I listened to family and friends and went for the large double even though there’s only 2 of us.”

More praise comes from this buyer who beams: “Used Ninja airfryer for a couple of weeks, cooks a lot quicker than our old airfryer, even when it was new, very impressed!”

A third chimes in: “Absolutely amazing machine does everything it says but better. Cooks perfectly and saves so much time. Would always recommend Ninja.”

And this shopper raves: “We’ve had air fryers for a long time now, but this is the first Ninja, and I must say it’s brilliant. Using the probe is brilliant; it takes all the guesswork out of the cooking. We cooked steak, fish, and lamb, and the camembert came out perfect. The only gripe is the drawers seem a little small, but other than that, it’s fantastic.”

Nevertheless, there’s a whole host of other air fryers vying for attention on the market, including more pocket-friendly versions with solid reputations.

Tony McCarroll was the original drummer of Oasis, but was kicked out of the band by Noel Gallagher. Now, almost 30 years since he left, he has been thrust back into the spotlight

View 5 Images

When Tony McCarroll and his childhood mates decided to form a band, they had no idea how massive it would become.

Hailing from working-class Manchester, they fittingly named themselves The Rain. However, this name was short-lived.

Dissatisfied with their initial frontman, one of the band members put forward his mate for an audition. Liam Gallagher stepped in and aced the test.

After joining, he proposed a name change to Oasis and brought his brother Noel on board. But there was a catch – Noel would take over as the songwriter and leader.

They would eventually rise to become one of the most successful bands in history. Now, nearly three decades since Tony’s departure from Oasis, he finds himself back in the limelight.

Last year, the iconic band announced a reunion for a series of 14 gigs across the UK and Ireland next summer.

To sign up for the presale ballot for tickets, fans had to answer several questions to verify they weren’t bots. One question asked fans to name the band’s original drummer.

The answer is, of course, Tony McCarroll. In 2019, he chatted with the the Manchester Evening News about how he managed life post-Oasis fame following his 1995 exit, just before their legendary second album, What’s the Story Morning Glory?

As relations deteriorated amid rows with Noel, Tony said he felt like he was being completely ‘ignored’ and recalled chasing his bandmates around pubs in Heaton Moor, desperate to get some answers.

After the split, ‘tell all’ books were written and there was even a high-profile court battle. But it would be more than 20 years until Tony would come face-to-face with Liam Gallagher.

Tony was with Brian Cannon, the graphic designer who created the legendary front cover for Definitely Maybe, the band’s debut album. Brian had invited him back to an after party where Liam would be – and Tony wasn’t keen.

“I can’t. What will happen if it all kicks off?” Tony said.

He told the MEN: “We were all drunk and I just thought f*** it, I’ll take the bull by the horns. I basically walked straight in and said to someone ‘where’s Liam?’ Marched straight up to him and said ‘oi’.”

Tony wasn’t certain what would unfold next.

Liam is renowned for his fiery temperament and the rock n’roll afterparty they were all attending – for the screening of the documentary Supersonic – would have been the ideal backdrop for one of the frontman’s legendary outbursts.

But not that evening – instead it became a moment Tony recalls with warmth.

“It was hugs, kisses, ‘bloody hell, how are you?’ and all that,” he said. “He really made the time, and his partner Debbie got us a table so we could sit down and have a catch up. ‘How’s your mum? How’s this, how’s that?'”

“Nothing deep, or anything serious – it was just back to the Liam I initially met. I was so relieved really.”

The relief for Tony, 47, from Levenshulme, was welcome because he didn’t just leave any band in 1995, he left Oasis.

They went on to be the most colossal band the globe had witnessed since The Beatles, made up entirely of childhood mates from Irish Catholic working class Manchester backgrounds, from a city which had been for so long dismissed and abandoned by Tory governments.

Their ascent went hand in hand with Manchester’s cultural renaissance in the 90s, where it would become celebrated worldwide for its musical and sporting triumphs.

Everyone craved a slice of it, including Tony Blair. Tony McCarroll established the group in 1991 alongside Bonehead and Guigsy, before the Gallagher brothers came on board.

However, his involvement in this story was abruptly ended. His last Oasis appearance coincided with their debut number one single, Some Might Say, on Top of the Pops. The explanation for his dismissal varies depending on who you ask.

Noel maintains he lacked the skill to perform the tracks he was composing for the second album, which featured Don’t Look Back In Anger and Wonderwall.

Tony insists he was booted out because he challenged a controlling and distant Noel once too often.

Regardless of which version you accept, what ensued was legal action where Tony attempted to claim £18m from Oasis, arguing this represented what he deserved from the band’s five-album contract with Creation records.

In 1999, the matter was resolved privately for a six-figure amount. It shouldn’t have ended that way.

After all, Tony had grown up alongside the band, kicked footballs with them, resided within two miles of one another and as he revealed to the MEN: “Our mums made f***ing biscuits together at McVities.”

After the legal battle finally wrapped up, Tony realised he needed to get his life back on track and launched a music studio in Denton, Tameside, working with youngsters who’d been left to fend for themselves. He wanted to steer them towards picking up instruments as a way to turn their lives around for the better.

Tony’s goal was to offer them ‘a bit of direction’, mirroring how Liverpool outfit The Real People had mentored Oasis during their formative period, helping them record early versions of future classics like Colombia. He would teach drums, guitar and offer advice.

Today, he’s back in ‘regular employment’, which he says ‘keeps you sane’.

It comes after Oasis musician Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs revealed that he’s been diagnosed with prostate cancer. The 60-year-old recently shared his diagnosis with fans in a post on X, rvealing that he’ll be missing several legs of the Oasis tour for cancer treatment.

He wrote on X: “Early this year I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. The good news is I’m responding really well to treatment, which meant I could be part of this incredible tour. Now, I am having to take a planned break for the next phase of my care, so I’ll be missing the gigs in Seoul, Tokyo, Melbourne and Sydney.

“I’m really sad to be missing these shows but l’m feeling good and will be back ready to go in time for South America. Have an amazing time if you’re going this month and I’ll see you back onstage with the band in November.”

A source close to Oasis also told the Mirror: “The band have known about the diagnosis from the outset and were fully behind Bonehead. Of course they wanted him to play the tour, but also Liam and Noel were clear his health comes first.

John Woodvine, the star of The Crown, passed away at the age of 96, according to his agent.

The actor passed away peacefully at his home on Monday morning, according to his agent Phil Belfield’s statement. He praised the former favorite of Z Cars and An American Werewolf in London, saying that having known him made people “richer.”

John was a remarkable actor who worked in over 70 productions, including those at the Old Vic, National Theatre, and Royal Shakespeare Company, all throughout his stellar and varied career.

He appeared in a number of roles, including Young Winston, An American Werewolf in London, Dragonworld, Persuasion, The Crown, and most recently, Enys Men.

“John was a very well-liked person, and everyone who met, knew, and worked with him will be sorely missed. He will be fondly remembered.” We are all more wealthy than we were when we first met him.

He appeared as Banquo in the film Macbeth alongside Ian McKellen and Judi Dench for a distinguished career with the Royal Shakespeare Company. His two children, Mary and Emma, and his wife Lynn Farleigh are also present.

In the Channel 4 hit series Shameless, John made a new audience cunoscut by playing the role of Neville, the waste-of-space actor. In the Miss Potter film from 2006, he also appeared alongside Renee Zellwegger and Ewan McGregor. A decade ago, he also appeared in Coronation Street.

For his role in The Henrys at the Old Vic in 1987, he received the Olivier Award for Comedy Performance of the Year. His children Mary and Emma, as well as his wife, actress Lynn Farleigh, are also in Woodvine’s care. His credits include Emmerdale, Midsomer Murders, and Doctor Who.

Talent agency Belfield &amp, Ward Ltd, who represented Woodvine, announced the passing of his client, actor John Woodvine, who passed away peacefully at home this morning, at the age of 96. A wonderful and well-liked actor who will be greatly missed.

The star’s newest venture appears to have been a nod to Harper’s daughter. His holding company, DB Ventures Ltd., filed trademarks for the young brand in the US and the UK.

Manchester United legend David Beckham is launching a clothing brand just like his top designer wife Victoria. It is understood the former England midfielder’s latest venture will be a nod to the couple’s 14-year-old daughter, Harper.

The brand’s logo, which has seven vertical lines, with the final stroke facing to the right, has been trademarked by his holding company, DB Ventures Ltd.

The shirt number worn by Beckham at United was number 7 and Harper’s middle name is Seven. He also has seven in Roman numerals inked on his arm. The number has spiritual meaning and also signifies good fortune for the former England captain.

When Harper was born, there was much speculating at the time. She reportedly weighed 7 pounds and 10 ounces, according to reports.

She also arrived into the world at 0755 LA time and was born in the seventh month.

He wants to sell “Clothing, footwear, and headgear,” according to documents obtained from the UK’s Intellectual Property Office.

In the UK, they have already received rubber stamps.

Bootleggers can stop stealing the design from the trademark for ten years.

The US Patent and Trademark Office requests the right to sell “Tops as clothing,” Bottoms as clothing, Footwear, Headwear, Dresses, Jumpsuits, Swimwear, Coverups, Scarves, Gloves, Mittens, Shawls, Bodysuits, Hosiery, Socks, Clothing belts, Clothing belts, Undergarments.”

It has yet to be passed. Annual revenues at Victoria Beckham ’s fashion and beauty brand went through the £100m mark for the first time last year.

According to accounts filed with Companies House, Victoria Beckham Holdings made sales of £112 million, up 26% from the previous year’s £89.1 million.

The former Spice Girl’s company, which was founded in 2008, “as it delivered on its plan for long-term profitability” by achieving double-digit revenue growth for the fourth consecutive year.”

Sales from the Mayfair store and its website grew 26 percent, just under two thirds of the total sales. Victoria and David Beckham are worth a combined £500m, according to the Sunday Times Rich List.

David Beckham earned £28m in dividends from his personal brand empire since 2022, as new commercial tie-ins with companies such as Stella Artois and Boss helped to offset losses at his TV production studio.

His long-time friend and former flame Claire Sweeney, who passed away the day the sporting legend turned 47, will be laid to rest in the week that Ricky Hatton will be remembered.

Devastated Claire Sweeney paid tribute to former boyfriend Ricky Hatton on what would have been the boxing legend’s birthday.

The former world champion – found dead in September at his home in Hyde, Greater Manchester, by his friend and manager Paul Speak – would have turned 47 today. Claire and Ricky went from being friends to lovers and back to being friends again following a whirlwind eight-month relationship and always stayed close.

The soap star, who first met Ricky in La Manga in the early 2000s, struck up a romantic relationship with him after they appeared on ITV’s Dancing on Ice together in January 2024. She shared a photo of the boxing legend on her Instagram Stories this morning She wrote over the picture: “Happy birthday,” followed by the two hands placed firmly together, and a red heart emojis.

When Ricky, a former light welterweight champion, met Claire during ITV reality show rehearsals, he immediately won her over. The chemistry was “electric,” a source told the Mirror at the time. Ricky left the show early, but he eventually contacted her, and let’s say he started wooing her. They’ve gone on several dates together.

They continued, “They’ve been seeing each other quite a bit. He has no interest in anything. He may not be a match for him, but he has always had a good relationship with women. They like his personality, just like Claire. He is aware that his son is her mother’s top priority, so they are being very cautious. Watch this space, everyone.

On September 16, Claire took to Instagram and wrote a heartfelt tribute for her former lover – who split from each other after an eight-month relationship because they “decided they’re better off as pals”. Captioning a video slideshow of her and Ricky spending time with each other over the years, the Coronation Street actress – who remained on good terms with the fighter following their split later in 2024 – wrote: “I’ve needed a few days to process the devastating news about my dear friend Ricky.

My thoughts are with his family, particularly his granddaughters Lyla, Millie, and Campbell, who are also his children. I extend my heartfelt condolences to them, Speaky, and all of his friends, who had a deep love for him for so long. You were the people’s hero, Ricky. You were beloved and valued dearly. I’ll always be with you.

In the New Year reports emerged suggesting Ricky and Claire had parted ways. The split occurred prior to Christmas and when questioned about the separation a red carpet event earlier this year, Claire informed MailOnline: “I’m great – we’re still friends, we were friends, we dated and now we’re friends again. It’s all good!”.

However, the former couple kept their public support for one another. Prior to Ricky’s tragic passing, it was revealed that he was scheduled to fight UAE fighter Eisa Al Dah in Dubai’s middleweight division in December.

The Stockport-born boxer had planned to attend a press conference to promote the game, but he had to stay at home because of an eye injury he sustained while attending an Oasis reunion show in Cardiff.

He joined via video link, saying, “I’m very much looking forward to it myself, to be honest with you, even though he couldn’t be there physically. Fantastic what you’re trying to accomplish with boxing in Dubai. His ex-partner Claire posted a video of the announcement on Instagram at the time, writing, “This is brilliant.

Campbell, Ricky’s son, has appealed to fans ahead of the British boxer’s funeral. On October 10, details of the procession’s route at Manchester Cathedral were made public.

That’s exactly what he would have desired, he said to Granada Reports. He was most proud of his fanbase, which he attributed to as his greatest achievement in boxing. He would prefer that there be as many people celebrating his life on the street. For his fans, he did everything he did.
