Amazon’s limited-time deal currently offers the Switch OLED, which would normally sell for £299.99 from retailers like Argos, for a majorly reduced price of £243.99. This makes this price for the Nintendo Switch OLED one of the cheapest, beating the likes of Currys, Argos, Very, and Nintendo itself.

The Nintendo Switch OLED is currently retailing for £309 from Nintendo’s own store, £309 from Currys, £399.99 from Very (which includes a copy of Super Smash Bro Ultimate and a VR headset), and £299.99 at Argos. Meanwhile, thanks to Amazon, the same model is available at a reduced price of £243.99, while this limited-time deal lasts.

A variation of the Nintendo Switch, the OLED made several adjustments and improvements to the original device, the most notable being the namesake 7-inch OLED screen, which promises vibrant and vivid colour for more compelling gameplay. The newer model also comes equipped with an improved kickstand and more storage, 64GB over the original console’s 32 GB.

Stock for Nintendo Switch OLED deals run out very quickly during the likes of Black Friday sales and Prime Day, when stock runs out within hours of deals starting. But, this week, the OLED is still up for grabs with its nifty discount, without any warning of low stock levels at the time of writing. If you’re thinking about taking advantage of this Amazon discount, then be sure to act fast.

One shopper who picked up the OLED raves in their 5-star review: “The Nintendo Switch OLED Model is an absolute game-changer! As someone who’s enjoyed the original Switch, I was eager to see how the OLED version would improve the experience—and it does not disappoint”.

They go on to say: “The Nintendo Switch OLED Model takes an already amazing gaming system and elevates it to new heights. This upgrade is essential if you enjoy using handheld games. Everything you want in a console is there, including a beautiful, practical, and enjoyable one. Highly recommend to anyone looking to improve their gaming experience.

Another chime ins, “My first OLED version is definitely different from my first Nintendo Switch,” according to another chime. The colors and games pop so much more vividly and vividly than the standard Switch and Switch Lite, and the OLED screen is a million times better. This was a family console for the living room, and as you might expect from Nintendo, there is a huge selection of games for all ages to choose from.

The Nintendo Switch 2 has been on pre-order for a while, but today (June 5) it’s officially available. Not just the new console, which is currently available online.

Following today’s global launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, Casino Beats predicts that the console will surpass all predecessors and become the best-selling gaming console in history. They go on to say: “The Nintendo Switch 2’s launch today has been met with exceptional enthusiasm worldwide and has been given a very strong chance of becoming most popular console ever made.”

Grace from Mirror’s shopping tester tested out Utan’s brand-new instant tan for those with cool undertones because she frequently has trouble with fake tans that look too orange.

Achieving a natural tan can be a bit of a challenge for a fair-skinned girl. It necessitates a lot of sunburn, and with the notorious lack of sunshine in the UK and the possibility of skin damage, it’s simply not worth the trouble any longer.

So I’m constantly looking for a bronzing product that can replicate that all-natural sun-kissed glow. My cool-toned skin always turns out to be too orange for the majority of fake tans, though.

I knew I had to try it out and see if it actually worked on my skintone when I learned that utan had just launched its Instant Tan Cool. The brand describes it as “the world’s first instant tan designed to suit your undertone and enhance your perfume.”

Utan is renowned for creating innovative and first-of-kind formulas, and it is adored by major celebrity stars like Sofia Richie and Sienna Miller.

Finding an instant tan (reasonably priced at £18) that can do so is pretty awesome. We have had gradual fake tans in the past that were specifically made for specific undertones, like Bondi Sands’ Technoolour Range.

• Application is simple.
• Natural-looking
• Buildable

• doesn’t produce a remarkably tan.

Utan Instant Tan Cool review

After using this tan, I first noticed how simple and implausible the application is. A spray of airburst that blends so beautifully into the skin is released that contains the forumla. There is no demanding rubbing or strain. Simply apply the formula directly to your skin or mitt to achieve the desired finish.

It’s probably the simplest fake tan I’ve ever tried to apply.

At first, I wasn’t sure if the color was dark enough for my taste. Although I dislike deep paint, the first spray had very little color. The great thing about this product is that you can build it up to become a deeper color fairly quickly, which is great.

It’s ideal for smoothing out uneven tones and bringing some subtle color to the skin because it actually acts more like body make-up, as the brand claims. This is probably not the one for you if you’re looking for a rich, intense tan, though.

Personally, I am aware that this is something I will always want to buy. I’m frequently too forgetful to actually prepare my bodycare routine in advance, so I love anything. And for those who need extra protection on a night out, this handy spray easily fits into my handbag.

Additionally, it lacks any of the opulent fake tan smell. The scent is organic vanilla and tonka, which gives the skin a light bronzey glow and also makes you smell amazing.

The company also released a similar product, but this one was made specifically for people with warm tones, and actually advises combining them to create your ideal, individualized shade.

Russell Martin has been named as Rangers’ new head coach and the former Southampton boss could be bringing his girlfriend, former glamour model Lucy Pinder, to Glasgow

Rangers have finally ended their long search for a manager by announcing the appointment of Russell Martin. The Scottish giants sacked Philippe Clement in February, with Martin now stepping in as head coach in the hope of restoring the club to glory.

Martin, who had a short loan spell at Rangers as a player, signed a three-year contract on Thursday to kick off a fresh era at Ibrox. It comes just after a US-based consortium, led by Andrew Cavenagh and the investment arm of the San Francisco 49ers, completed a takeover of the club last week.

The former Scotland defender, 39, last managed Southampton, who he guided to Premier League promotion before being sacked last December. And as he looks towards what he’ll hope will be a more successful spell, he could be joined in Glasgow by his glamorous partner – former lads’ mag favourite Lucy Pinder.

He was previously married to bodybuilder Jasmine Martin, with whom he has three children, but they parted ways in 2023. Russell and Lucy went public with their relationship last August as she shared a sweet snap of them in Brighton, where Martin was receiving an honorary degree in his hometown.

And via the Record, here’s everything we know about the latest Rangers WAG…

Glamour model

Pinder was a regular in magazines such as FHM, Nuts and Loaded in the early 2000s. She appeared topless in Nuts Magazine and was listed on FHM’s “100 Sexiest Women in the World” on several occasions.

In 2007 she placed 92nd, in 2006 she was 35th and in 2005, she made the top 20, placing 16th. Also in 2007, Ralph Magazine honoured her with the title of “the best boobs in the world”.

Pinder appeared as a contestant on a ‘WAGS and Glamour Girls” edition of The Weakest Link in September 2007.

TV and film

She entered the Celebrity Big Brother house in 2009 along with stars such as Ulrika Johnson, La Toya Jackson, Tina Malone, Tommy Sheridan and Coolio. But she was the first to be evicted on day eight.

Pinder became well known among football fans too, regularly joining the crew on Soccer AM while wearing her Southampton top.

In 2012, she traded reality TV for movies and tried her hand at acting, playing her first supporting role in the comedy horror Strippers vs Werewolves. She starred in Age of Kill alongside Martin Kemp in 2015, as well as supernatural thrillers Suburban Fairytale and Fanged Up.

Pinder even ventured into Bollywood films with an appearance in the action drama film Waarrior Savitri in 2016. The glamour model then secured a part in American film Sharknado 5: Global Swarming in 2017. Her most recent gig came in 2023, where she played Louise in Nightmare on 34th Street.

Relationship history

Back in 2016, reports claimed she was seeing Captain America actor Chris Evans, with rumours swirling that she was totally “smitten” with the Marvel star. Though their relationship was never officially confirmed, Pinder and Evans were spotted enjoying a Disneyland day out in January 2015.

She was also romantically linked to ‘Vikings’ star Elijah Rowen in 2019 after being spotted looking cosy together at the British Photography Awards.

In August this year, Pinder shared snaps of her and current boyfriend Martin in Brighton together on her Instagram story, confirming their relationship. She’s a diehard Southampton fan and the pair are said to be a match made in heaven.

The Sun reported a source to have said at the time: “She is a regular face at Southampton functions and is always around the club as a diehard fan. Over the weeks and months their friendship grew into something more. They’re a match made in heaven — or at least in Southampton. They’re mad for each other.”

Podcast

In 2019, Pinder launched ‘Smashing Sundays’, a podcast she co-hosts with her flatmate Beth Granville. The podcast is described as: “Lucy Pinder (model and actress) and Beth Granville (comedy writer and actress), talk about the quintessential British Sunday.

“Finding themselves single in their mid 30s after decade long relationships meant the end of the weekend had the potential to be rather a lonely affair; until they made the decision to move in together and make their Sunday’s smashing.

“With a different guest comedian, actor or musician each week, they discuss their most awful and most smashing Sunday’s to date: they range from staying in bed all day eating toast wondering what on earth to do with the rest of their lives to dating disasters to going to a sleepover at Hampton Court getting merry on mead.”

However, while the podcast is still listed in Pinder’s Instagram bio, there haven’t been any new episodes released since 2022.
