DON’T let a lost remote ruin your movie night – there’s a trick that can save you.

You can simply speak a “magic phrase” to track down your Amazon Fire TV Stick remote in a matter of seconds.

And if that doesn’t work, there are some other ways of sorting it out instead.

You may not have realised that someone Fire TV remote controls have built-in ringers.

This is your first option, and it’s easily the most effective.

For this to work, you’ll need an Amazon Alexa Voice Remote Pro.

And it needs to be already be paired with a Fire TV, otherwise you’re out of luck.

As well as that, you’ll need to have registered it to the same account that your Alexa is linked to.

Your remote will need to be within 30 feet of the paired Fire TV – and have enough battery life to boot.

If all of those boxes are ticked, you’ll be able to track down your TV remote.

The easiest way is to just ask Alexa by saying “Alexa, find my remote”.

You can do this in the Alexa app on your smartphone, with your Fire TV app, or any other Alexa-friendly device that you have.

Alternatively, you can press the Remote Finder icon that’s in the Remote tab of your Fire TV app on a smartphone.

With either of these triggers, your Alexa Voice Remote Pro will start to ring for up to five minutes.

Don’t panic if it doesn’t start right away – it can take about 30 seconds for it to start.

Once you track it down, press a button on the remote to stop the ringing.

If you want to make it easier to find next time, make sure that you’ve got Voice Commands When TV Screen Is Off turned on in your settings.

And ensure that your Fire Stick is getting its juice from a power outlet.

That way, you can ask your TV to find the remote even if it’s switched off.

NO PRO? YOU’RE STILL OK

Of course many Fire Stick owners will have the regular remote – and not a fancy Pro version.

The bad news is that there’s no hi-tech way to track this remote control down.

But there is an alternative that lets you still watch telly: the smartphone app.

You can just download the Amazon Fire TV app and link it to your Fire TV or Fire Stick.

That way you’ll be able to control your TV just as easily as you would’ve with a remote.

In fact, it might even be easier – as you’re probably less likely to lose your smartphone.

The app also makes it significantly easier to enter text on the screen.

And if you don’t have voice search on your current remote, you can use it on the app instead.

On top of that, it’s very easy and fast to locate apps and games inside the app.

GREAT SKY-DEA!

TV rival Sky has also come up with a very similar way of tracking down lost remotes.

If you’ve lost your Sky Q remote, you can simply push the big Q logo on the front of your box.

This is actually a button and will cause your TV remote to start beeping.

It’ll ring for about 30 seconds, which should be plenty of time to find it.

There are just a few catches: the remote needs battery life and must be in range of the Sky box, for a start.

As well as that, the trick only works with main Sky Q boxes, and not the Sky Q Mini.

IMAGINE if, 18 months ago, you had told Manchester United fans that Harry Maguire would be handed a new contract and Marcus Rashford would be frozen out.

They’d have wanted to burn down Old Trafford.

Which just goes to show you the importance of showing a good professional attitude in times of adversity.

So my message to Rashford would be this: Stop talking, certainly stop posting on social media, knuckle down and prove to Ruben Amorim and your team-mates that you deserve to be a United player.

And remember what it was like for Maguire a year or two ago — which is far worse than anything that’s happened to Rashford.

Erik ten Hag humiliated Maguire by stripping him of the club captaincy.

Every time Maguire was partly responsible for a United or England goal, entire press conferences would be dominated by questions over his form.

Yet Maguire was a perfect pro, he stuck to the task of proving himself and here he is now as a key member of United’s first team and with a contract extension until 2026.

Maguire never said he wanted a transfer. He didn’t go on social media. He didn’t act like a baby.

Remember the timeline. When Amorim took over at United, Rashford started the first two ­Premier League games, scoring three goals.

Two weeks later, he was left out of the squad for the Manchester derby, which United won, along with Alejandro Garnacho.

Within days Marcus was conducting an interview in which he said he was ready for a new challenge elsewhere.

Meanwhile, Garnacho worked his way back into the first team, which shows what can happen if you don’t act like a prima donna.

If Rashford remains at Old Trafford beyond Monday’s transfer deadline, he needs to follow Maguire’s example.

People keep telling me I’m harsh on Marcus but there is nothing personal. Marcus needs to realise that there is no agenda against him.

When he was doing great things on and off the pitch, he was lavished with praise. He even got an MBE!

I’d love it if in a year’s time I was writing an apology here, saying that I’d got it totally wrong about him. But I doubt if I will have reason to.

If I do sound harsh then it’s because I know from personal experience that far worse happens to footballers who have done nothing wrong.

Players get singled out by managers, frozen out of teams and bombed out of clubs all the time.

I’ll give you a few personal examples.

One was when the Italian coach Walter Mazzarri came to Watford and rarely started me, frequently suggesting in public that I wasn’t giving enough in training.

This was entirely unjustified. You could  accuse me of having a bad game or a bad spell but never a bad work ethic.

But at least Rashford can have arguments with Amorim in English.

Mazzarri could barely speak a word, so we often found ourselves trying to have blazing rows via an interpreter.

We’d rant and rage at each other — with this poor interpreter stuck between two big blokes with big egos with steam coming out of their eyes — and by the time he’d translated what either of us said, the sting had gone out of the argument.

It was like if you’re having a row with your missus on the phone and just as you’re getting to your best point, you lose phone reception — you can never really start the argument properly again!

Then, after Watford were relegated in 2020, I was one of five senior pros who were frozen out of the first-team squad and made to train away from the main group because they wanted to off-load us for financial reasons.

We didn’t like it but we always turned up on time, trained properly and didn’t complain publicly.

I ended up staying that season, because a move to Tottenham couldn’t be finalised, and I played my part in winning promotion.

The previous season, Nigel Pearson arrived as manager and challenged me — just to prove to the rest of the dressing room that nobody was safe.

I respected Nigel and on that occasion, a combative approach worked.

When I managed Forest Green Rovers briefly last season, I did publicly criticise my players.

I want to manage again and, if I do, I’d keep that sort of criticism in house.

Thierry Henry recently told me that he’d had a go at his players in the media while managing Monaco.

He said players of our generation could take it but that times have changed. I agree.

Now players are rewarded with £300,000-a-week, five-year contracts for half-decent form, then think the world owes them a living and that they’re above taking any stick.

So I have no problem with Amorim calling out Rashford — even last weekend’s jibe that he would rather have his 63-year-old goalkeeping coach on the bench, rather than a player who didn’t give his all.

Amorim is setting standards, building foundations.

He’s the sort of manager I’d have loved to work for and he’s United’s best hope in years.

Rashford was once United’s great hope but not any more.

I don’t foresee a future for him at Old Trafford and he will never go down as a club legend,  merely a decent player who came through the ranks but lost his way.

Maybe I’ll be proved wrong. Maybe I’ll write that apology. But I’m not holding my breath.

CHOCOLATE fans can rejoice as a new flavour of the nation’s favourite bar has just been released.

Cadbury‘s Dairy Milk has unveiled a unique version of the sweet treat – for a limited time.

As a chocolate lover, I decided to give it a try and reveal my honest opinion.

Personally, the Golden Crisp flavour reigns supreme when it comes to chocolate, but this one took me by surprise.

First of all, the bar itself still has the classic creamy taste of a Dairy Milk, which earns it points right off the bat.

The added ingredient is Mini Eggs, the famous Easter treat beloved by people across the country.

The small chocolate egg has been crushed up and added to the squares.

It gives the bar an added crunch and a burst of sweetness that contrasts nicely with the rich chocolate flavour.

Chocolate purists might not be the biggest fan as the mini eggs do take away from the overall cocoa taste.

But those who want something a little extra in their chocolate bars will enjoy the crunchy texture.

And the different flavoured eggs can definitely be tasted – yellow and pink, for example, taste completely different.

It means that each bite of the bar tastes truly unique.

But the added sweetness of the Mini Eggs means that the treat can feel a little much.

I paired it with a cup of tea and would recommend holding back on the sugar lumps in your mug – there’s plenty already in this Dairy Milk option.

Overall, between the rich chocolate flavour broken up by a sweet crunch, I would rate the bar a seven out of ten.

Not quite as high as the Golden Crisp which is always a solid nine, but still well worth the try while it’s available.

Cadbury executives said the new flavour is “delicious”.

Announcing the new option on Instagram, Cadbury said: “Packed with delicious Mini Egg pieces, this limited-edition flavour is the first new addition to the Cadbury Dairy Milk small bars range (54g) in over two decades.”

And people can’t wait to try it – shoppers took to the comment section to rave about the new flavour.

One person said: “Can’t wait to try!”

Another commented: “I’m running.”

Somebody else said: “Yesss.”
