Final Boss meaning explained as Ibiza raver Jack Kay returns to party island
Jack Kay has become an internet sensation after a video of him dancing in a club in Ibiza went viral - with many dubbing him the Ibiza Final Boss. But where does the term come from? Unless you've been living under a rock for the past week, you're likely aware of the 'Ibiza Final Boss' - or Jack Kay - who has become an internet sensation. The 26-year-old Brit was recently caught on camera raving at an open-air club on the White Isle, and the video quickly went viral thanks to his 'Battle of Hastings' bob-style haircut. After the video was shared on TikTok, Jack quickly became the latest addition to the internet hall of fame, attracted the attention of brands and even swapping budget airlines for a private jet. It comes after the now infamous Ibiza Final Boss Jack Kay's girlfriend speaks out after his incredible haircut goes viral. But what exactly is a 'Final Boss' and where does the phrase originate from? we explain everything you need to know as the 'Ibiza Bob' legend returns to the party island to dance the night away with his pals. What is a Final Boss? If you're familiar with the world of gaming, then you'll recognise the term 'Final Boss'. The term typically refers to the ultimate boss - or villain - that you have to fight at the end of a level or game, reports the Daily Star. Think Bowser in Super Mario, or Doctor Eggman in Sonic. They're the 'Final Boss' - the toughest to defeat, the best of their kind, they hold the power and no one can surpass them. So how does that relate to the Ibiza Final Boss? Well, Jack simply embodies 'Final Boss' energy - he is the epitome of what an Ibiza party lad is according to the internet. He's got the gear, the flashy gold sunglasses, the dazzling white teeth, the muscles, the dance moves, the gift of the gab and the questionable hairdo. Where did the term 'Final Boss' originate? Now that we've established that, let's delve deeper into where the term 'final boss' originated. Surprisingly, it might not have been born from Super Mario's Bowser - despite the evil turtle being the most recognisable. We have to look all the way back to 1974, when fantasy tabletop roleplaying games started to become a massive hit for young lads in basements. Amongst gaming-related forums on Reddit, many computer buffs believe that Dungeons and Dragons has the original 'Final Boss'. Throughout the campaign of chaotic evil and neutral good characters making their way around the map, the game would feature a main enemy acting as the 'boss' to the minions that players would have to battle. Others have speculated that video game Galaga, of 1981, was the first to have a 'final' boss. The arcade shooter game includes the ultimate bad guy called 'Boss Galaga'. Then there's the Nintendo super fans who believe that Bowser is actually the first final boss, making the style of character popular from his initiation in 1985. Perhaps someone needs to create an Ibiza Final Boss game - we'd love to see it.

Woman gobsmacked by stranger's gesture after being quoted £2k for gardening job
A woman was left completely speechless after a kind stranger stepped in to help her out when she was quoted a whopping £2,000 for one very standard gardening job Certain household tasks can certainly rack up the bills and it's not unusual for homeowners to face quotes of £3,000 or more for straightforward garden spruce-ups. Yet one woman was left absolutely gobsmacked when a generous stranger offered her a helping hand with her garden space. On TikTok, user @gardenyardzmowing1982, who has a following of 32,000, showcased the remarkable transformation. The footage kicks off with the homeowner opening the door to the gardener named Mike, who enquires about her thoughts on the revamp of her outdoor area. Her response was: "Oh I love it. Oh that's brilliant, thank you so much." She quickly tells Mike about encountering some "silly quotes" for the basic gardening work. She continued: "I've had so many quotes, thousands and £2,000 but I'm chuffed with that." As Mike gets down to business, the real shocker is revealed – his services were provided at no cost. The video initially reveals a neglected garden overrun with weeds and in dire need of care. Mike then tackles the grass and gives the bushes a tidy trim. Wrapping up, he takes one final pass over the lawn with the mower, leaving it looking neat and inviting for the owner. His caption read: "Lady too much money for her garden gets free garden tidy-up." Viewers flocked to the comments to commend the gardener, with one person exclaiming: "Freaking awesome." While another added: "Great job as always Mike." And a third posted: "What a sweetheart." It's not always simple achieving the perfectly trimmed lawn as previously a garden expert revealed you've been mowing your grass wrong. In the TikTok footage, which notched up over 35,000 views, Black Lotus Gardening is shown wrestling with stubbornly tall grass. However, he reassured his followers with a life-altering tip: "I used to just smash the lawn mower into the tall grass and pray to the lawn gods." He revealed: "Then after gaining enough experience, I decided that it worked out to be faster mowing the lawn twice." In the video, he's seen adjusting the height of the mower using a switch on the side before giving the lawn an initial trim to shorten it somewhat before setting the blades back down to the preferred height for a final cut.

Pete Wicks confesses he 'disliked' Sam Thompson's ex - 'I prefer him single'
In a juicy podcast episode, Pete Wicks reveals that he 'disliked' Sam Thompson's ex-girlfriend and 'prefers him single' following Sams five-year relationship with Zara McDermott Pete Wicks has admitted that he 'disliked' Sam Thompson's ex-girlfriend and that he 'prefers' him single following his split with former Love Island star Zara McDermott last year. Although Pete didn't specifically say the 'ex' was Zara, Sam and Zara did embark on a five-year relationship which started in 2019. The TOWIE star, 36, had agreed to take part in a lie detector test where he was asked by Sam, 33, an array of revealing questions. In a teaser for the episode, which was posted on the Staying Relevant podcast Instagram page, Sam asked excitedly: "Do you like me more now that I am single?", to which Pete replied 'yes'. Another question Sam asked was: "Have you disliked any of my previous partners?". Pete took a second to reply, before he laughed and admitted "yes', without revealing who in particular it was that he disliked. It comes after Princess Andre said she was 'independent' from her parents as she broke her silence after Katie Price row. Fans went crazy in the comments section as one fan wrote: 'This is about to be pipppppping hot tea', while another said: 'You guys kill me!! I can't wait for this episode to drop!!'. Made in Chelsea star Sam has had a rocky love life, which, most recently, saw him split with Love Island's Samie Elishi in June. It was then reported by The Sun that he was dating nutritionist Steph Robinson and had grown close to Too Hot To Handle beauty Lucy Syed. It follows after his long-term relationship with Zara McDermot which ended in December last year. They remained tight-lipped about the reasons behind their breakup, but shortly after Zara was spotted enjoying a cosy date with One Direction star Louis Tomlinson. Zara and 33-year-old musician Louis were photographed at a hotel in Aldeburgh, Suffolk and have since confirmed their romance with a snap of them kissing. Zara smiled as she held his cheek and gave him a kiss. Louis looked happy as he held the camera. Friends and fans were delighted with the social media milestone for Zara and rushed to share their happiness for the couple. "Yaaaay," Strictly Come Dancing's Tasha Ghouri wrote. Ellie Louise Leach added: "Soooooo here for this," and another posted: "Love seeing you glowing and happy." One fan joked: "I'm so happy that my boyfriend has a girlfriend." Elsewhere in the podcast teaser, Pete teases his own relationship as Sam asks him: 'Are you in love with somebody right now?'. Pete is then shown pulling a guilty face when asked the question and fans have to wait for the full episode to be released to know the answer.
