Instead of trying his luck on something like breakfast television, Jamie, 36, has released a track to help Brits with their bleary-eyed mornings.
He wants to switch the dreaded alarm clocks with a new turbocharged triumph track.
The star ran five ultramarathons in five days in the ultimate challenge of endurance and strength.
Now, he wants to spread his motivational message to the nation with a spoken word anthem called Morning People.
The track has been described as 'a bold, synth-driven battle cry' for better mornings, smarter sleep, and screen-savvy starts.
With this new content, Jamie delivers actionable advice which is designed to help a sleep-deprived nation build better habits.
The star has also released an accompanying music video with bright visuals in a bid to boost levels of dopamine.
In the new clip, a cartoon Jamie is seen leaping into action ready to start his day.
In order to make his music dream a reality, he's teamed up with Samsung Health to encourage more morning activity.
This is combined with AI-powered sleep tracking and personalised energy scores that is available on its Galaxy Watch & Ring series.
Jamie explained: "If you can beat the morning, you can win the day.
"That's why I love what Samsung Health is doing – helping people understand the body and the mind, and tech can empower you to live your best day."
Jamie and his wife Sophie, 30, recently caused controversy as they mocked Meghan and Harry's dancing video - from inside Buckingham Palace.
They recreated the Sussexes' infamous 'Baby Mama' dance on the Grand Staircase in what was seen as a huge swipe at the aspiring A-list Montecito couple.

The Original by Nell Stevens review
We become ourselves by copying others, whether dutifully or audaciously, in acts of homage or appropriation. What is education if not a prolonged process of copying, and isn't the same true, Nell Stevens asks in her latest novel, of falling in love? Suddenly besotted with another young woman, her protagonist Grace begins to wear her scarf at the side of the neck as her lover does, and to feel 'clearer and more deliberate and more like myself' as she does so. 'When we fall in love with a person, we fall in love with the copy of them, inexpertly done, that we carry around with us whenever they aren't there.' At its heart The Original has two strands of copying: both are preoccupations of the late-Victorian era the book is set in. There are the pictures made by Grace when she's brought, penniless, to her uncle's house aged 10 after her parents are sent to lunatic asylums (though her uncle and aunt may well be more dangerously mad than her loving parents). She copies her cousin Charles's paintings so well that he declares her a magician – or possibly a machine – and then she makes her way to secret independence by creating clever forgeries and then successful copies of famous works of art, from Van Eyck's Arnolfini Portrait to Velázquez's Rokeby Venus. And there is cousin Charles himself, who is lost at sea only to return 13 years later, possibly as a brilliant fake, his jaw a little too heavy but his voice and manner so perfectly attuned to the original that his mother welcomes him delightedly back into the household. All this is playing out in a book that is at once a fake – a copy of the Victorian sensation novel – and distinctly idiosyncratic, the original the title proclaims. Stevens is one of a generation of writers finding new ways to queer the Victorians, who were themselves already pretty queer by the late 1890s, when Grace begins to have sex with women. Stevens has written one memoir about not writing a novel and another about not writing a PhD thesis that were both rooted in fiction of the Victorian era; plus a novel, Briefly, a Delicious Life, about a ghost who falls in love with George Sand when she's in Mallorca with Chopin. Despite its fantastical elements, Briefly is a sleek, conceptual 21st-century novel; loosely plotted, it takes its bearings from the unfolding of Sand's own life. The moments of drama are made up of pianos arriving or failing to arrive, and doctors misdiagnosing patients. Stevens's new novel is quite different in its flamboyantly Victorian plot. There are acts of murder and theft and betrayal and a narrator who never quite knows if she's on the verge of total ruin or immense wealth and success. It's a risk, plotting luridly like this. One danger is that her talents will count for less than they did in Briefly, if the plot is so wilfully contrived. And her talents do lie in the realm of realism. Stevens is so casually magisterial at the hardest aspects of historical novel writing. These are bodies moving utterly convincingly through a world of solid objects: wet clothes prickling on skin; the thick, rotten smell of the Thames settling in the back of the throat; the shock of a lover's cold fingers. But, of course, all fiction is contrived, and indeed Stevens is so preoccupied by how jarring this can be that she's already written a book about failing to make things up. Now, having put realism aside, she's able to explore what the contrivance of art can tell us about the contrivance of life – the authenticity that may be found through faking. Grace finds herself, happily, shaking off the Victorian era and emerging into the 20th century. Soon, Duchamp will scramble all ideas of originality in art by exhibiting ordinary objects as masterpieces, and Auden will praise man as 'the only creature ever made who fakes', urging poets to write lavishly and make 'a rare old proper hullabaloo' in their verses. Throughout, the more Victorian-plotted chapters are interspersed with aphoristic lists of statements about copying, where some combination of Stevens and Grace declares that 'the value of the copy is in the copyist's powers of empathy' and that in preserving, recycling and disseminating, the copyist engages in 'an act of tremendous generosity'. Generosity and love are what have been lacking in the house where Grace and Charles grew up; they find them through copying, accepting fakery as part of homage. The kind of porousness required by love may require us to bleed into each other in ways that make any notion of originality questionable. In book after book, Stevens is showing herself to be that rare thing: a writer who we can think alongside, even while she's making things up. All the confection here in the end helps us to appreciate the steely and witty mind that seems, four books in, to have learned to delight in that hullabaloo of fakery.

Inside new Superdrug store where customers can test out products for FREE
SUPERDRUG has just dropped its most exciting store yet and it's a hit for any beauty fanatics. The high street health and beauty giant has launched its brand new Beauty Playground at Westfield Stratford in London. 2 2 Gone are the days of sniffing samples and hoping for the best, now, shoppers can swatch, test and snap their way through a fairground of makeup and skincare, all without spending a penny. Packed with interactive displays, 'Try Me Tables', and glitzy social content stations complete with ring lights. You'll also find in-store brand ambassadors offering personalised beauty advice, demos, and top tips on the latest trending buys. The store officially opened this week, and Superdrug bosses say it's just the beginning. The Beauty Playground will roll out across 30 of the retailer's top stores by next summer, including Manchester Trafford Centre, Glasgow Braehead, and Cardiff St David's. Simon Comins, Superdrug's chief commercial officer, said: 'The beauty shopper is crying out for immersive experiences – and we're giving them exactly that. 'With Beauty Playground, we're bringing the fun back into beauty, giving shoppers the chance to experiment, discover, and enjoy Superdrug like never before.' The mega makeover is all part of Superdrug's big plans to boost its bricks and mortar stores, while blending them seamlessly with online experiences. And to top it off, Superdrug has teamed up with brands like Daise, Delhicious and Smuuti to offer exclusive products and beauty experiences you won't find anywhere else. Daise co-founder Jaimee Lupton called the partnership 'incredibly valuable' for bringing 'next-gen' beauty to the high street. Make-up fans race to snap up £5 Superdrug dupe of viral Huda powder, and save themselves £30 in the process It comes just after the retailer's Superdrug Superswap pop-up earlier this month, where bargain hunters bagged up to £500 worth of luxury beauty dupes for a fraction of the price. Among the must-have steals were Studio London's U Dew U Bronzing Drops for just £5 (saving £30 vs a high-end dupe). It also included the cult-fave Artiscent Atelier fragrances, which were a mere £12 for scents that smell way more expensive. One shopper said: 'I couldn't believe how similar it was to the designer brand and it lasted all day. Total win.' The Superswap event highlighted more than 40 of Superdrug's best own-brand products, covering skincare, cosmetics, fragrance and toiletries, all proven to rival premium buys in tests and reviews. Superswap's best dupes The SuperSwap event introduced shoppers to swaps that could save them £500. SuperSwap Savings include: B. Cleanse Melting Cleansing Balm - £10 (£ 5 member price) - Save £24 vs high end alternative* - Melts away dirt and impurities with this velvety soft balm which helps to remove every trace of make-up Studio London U Dew U Bronzing Drops £5 - SAVE £30* - Enriched with coconut oil and niacinamide this hydrating formula gives a natural sun-kissed tint and healthy glow Artiscent Atelier Scents £12 - SAVE £233* - From sweet and musky to spicy and woody notes, these scents smell expensive and provide long lasting fragrance all day Studio London SuperBoost Tint Oil Cherry - SAVE £28* - A weightless, moisturising formula infused with nutrient-rich, upcycled raspberry seed oil to soften lips, leaving a high shine finish And if you missed out, don't panic, Superdrug is bringing back its ' Superdrug Presents ' event in August, promising even more freebies and surprises. TikTokers who attended last year's bash claimed they walked away with bags full of beauty goodies — including twenty lipsticks. It's not just Superdrug jumping on the experiential bandwagon either. Disney has also returned with a brand-new pop-up at Westfield White City, opening just days ago on June 20. The grand opening kicks off Saturday, June 28 with a full-blown Disney party, complete with free Mickey ears for the first 200 guests, roaming balloon artists, tattoo stations, and early access to the magical 'Once Upon a Story' dolls.

The 1975 to headline Glastonbury Festival amid rumours of Lorde secret set
British pop rock band The 1975 will be the first headliners to grace the Glastonbury Festival's Pyramid Stage this year when they perform on Friday evening. Made up of four school friends, the group, known for songs including Chocolate, Someone Else and About You, is comprised of singer Matt Healy, bassist Ross MacDonald, guitarist Adam Hann, and drummer George Daniel. The five-day celebration of music and performing arts, which opened its gates on Wednesday, will also see headline performances from veteran rocker Neil Young and his band the Chrome Hearts, and US pop star Olivia Rodrigo. The BBC confirmed on Thursday that Young's Saturday Pyramid Stage set will not be broadcast live 'at the artist's request'. This year's line-up features a number of acts listed as TBA, as well as a mysterious act called Patchwork, which will take to the Pyramid Stage on Saturday. Among the music stars rumoured to be performing a secret set is New Zealand singer Lorde, whose fourth-studio album, Virgin, is set for release on Friday. The pop star posted a picture of the Woodsies stage to her Instagram account on Thursday, fuelling speculation that she could be the act listed as 'TBA' who will be performing at 11.30am. Earlier in the month, she told BBC Radio 2 that she is 'pretty keen' to see if she can 'pull some strings' and make an appearance at this year's festival. Other Friday performers include: Irish singer CMAT; hip-hop star Loyle Carner; rock band English Teacher; indie band Wet Leg; and Canadian star Alanis Morissette, who will take to the Pyramid Stage after a TBA act which will be performing at 4.55pm. Festival goers can expect a clear morning and temperatures reaching the mid 20s centigrade, according to the Met Office. Spokesman Stephen Dixon told the PA news agency: 'Friday should start relatively sunny, with temperatures reaching into the mid-20s. However, there will be a touch more cloud later in the day and into the evening.' Friday's line-up of events also includes a Q&A featuring Australian actress Margot Robbie at Pilton Palais and a Mountainhead Q&A with Jesse Armstrong, along with performances from psychedelic rockers Osees and Britpop veterans Supergrass. Saturday will see Irish rap trio Kneecap, who have seen one of their members charged with a terror offence, perform on the West Holts Stage at 4pm. Before the festival, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said it would not be 'appropriate' for them to perform their slot at Worthy Farm. Rapper Liam Og O hAnnaidh was charged for allegedly displaying a flag in support of proscribed terrorist organisation Hezbollah at a gig in London in November last year. Last week, the 27-year-old, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, was cheered by hundreds of supporters as he arrived with bandmates Naoise O Caireallain and JJ O Dochartaigh at Westminster Magistrates' Court in 'Free Mo Chara' T-shirts. He was released on unconditional bail until his next hearing at the same court on August 20. On Thursday evening, the rap trio posted a film they executive produced to social media, titled Stop The Genocide, which includes testimonies from a Palestinian activist and plastic surgeon on the war in Gaza. Performing in the coveted Sunday legends slot this year is Sir Rod Stewart, who previously said he will be joined by his former Faces band member Ronnie Wood, as well as some other guests. Sir Rod's performance will come after he postponed a string of concerts in the US, due to take place this month, while he recovered from flu. Among the other acts expected to draw large crowds this year is pop star Charli XCX, who is engaged to The 1975 drummer Daniel and will perform songs from her sixth studio album, Brat. She is performing on Saturday night on the Other Stage, 15 minutes before the West Holts stage is graced by US rapper Doechii, another artist who has exploded in popularity in the last year. Other performers include: Prada singer Raye; US musician Brandi Carlile; Nile Rodgers and Chic; US pop star Gracie Abrams; Mercury Prize-winning jazz quintet Ezra Collective; US rapper Denzel Curry; and rising star Lola Young. This year, the BBC will provide livestreams of the five main stages: Pyramid, Other, West Holts, Woodsies and The Park.
