Inside Katie Price's first Mucky Mansion which was 'cramped' and littered in rubbish
Katie Price and Peter Andre have been at loggerheads recently following a very public spat. Last week, after Katie made calls for a ceasefire in tensions between her and her ex, Peter released a scathing statement to fans which revealed that kids Junior and Princess have been in his custody for years . Katie then retaliated by releasing her own statement, and saying she won't be "gaslighted" anymore.
Princess Andre, 18, who stars in new ITV reality show The Princess Diaries, has stated that the feud between her mum and dad doesn't bother her as she loves them both.
Responding to a fan's query on social media last week about whether their spats affect her, she said: "To be honest it doesn't. At the end of the day, they broke up when I was two years old so I don't even have any memory of them being together."
Further drama now surrounds the family, after an explosive clip was released by mum-of-five Katie's ex Alex Reid yesterday, in which Katie can be seen calling Pete's two children with wife Emily "irrelevant" and telling Princess she couldn't pay her school fees as she counted wads of cash, despite being bankrupt for a second time.
As Princess enquired if Katie would be contributing towards hers and Junior's private school costs, Katie said: "Your dad can sit on that," while raising her middle finger.
Meanwhile, during promos for her new reality show, which launched last week, Princess said she thought her mum's infamous Mucky Mansion was a "really scary" place to call home in a heartbreaking admission.
Discussing life at the Mucky Mansion, which was showcased in Katie's reality DIY programme on Channel 4, Princess confessed to The Guardian: "It was a really scary house. A lot went on there. So I didn't really like it."
The teenager was raised in the sprawling Sussex property following Katie's split from Peter.
Katie vacated the £2million West Sussex home last year following her second bankruptcy declaration and acknowledged that she also "hated" residing there. Looking back on life in the crumbling home with her mother and siblings, Princess added: "I guess when you have bad experiences somewhere you don't like the place."
Katie's first pad in the public eye was featured in a 2002 BBC documentary called Jordan: The Truth About Me.
Despite having a £150,000 contract with the Daily Star at the time and being in a relationship with footballer Dwight York back in 2001, Katie was living in a rundown Brighton bungalow with her pal Sally.
Let's take a closer look inside the cramped and littered property she shared with her friend in the early 2000s...

BBC and Channel 4 should 'merge' to survive, Sir Phil Redmond says
One of Britain's most legendary TV dramatists, Sir Phil Redmond, is no stranger to tackling difficult issues on screen. Courting controversy famously with his hard-hitting storylines on his children's show Grange Hill for the BBC in 1978, before he switched over to Channel 4 to give it its two most prominent soaps, Brookside (1982) and later Hollyoaks (1995). He's been a pivotal figure at Channel 4 from its inception, widely considered to be a father to the channel. Image: Sir Phil Redmond says the BBC and Channel 4 should team up to survive While he's been responsible for putting some of TV's most impactful storylines to air for them - from the first lesbian kiss, to bodies buried under patios - off-screen nowadays, he's equally radical about what should happen. "Channel 4's job in 1980 was to provide a platform for the voices, ideas, and people that weren't able to break through into television. They did a fantastic job. I was part of that, and now it's done." It's not that he wants to kill off Channel 4 but - as broadcasting bosses gather for Edinburgh's annual TV Festival - he believes they urgently should be talking about mergers. A suggestion which goes down about as well as you might imagine, he says, when he brings it up with those at the top. He laughs: "The people with the brains think it's a good idea, the people who've got the expense accounts think it's horrendous." Image: Some of the original Grange Hill cast collecting a BAFTA special award in 2001. Pic: Shutterstock A 'struggling' BBC trying to 'survive' With charter renewal talks under way to determine the BBC's future funding, Sir Phil says "there's only one question, and that is what's going to happen to the BBC?" "We've got two public sector broadcasters - the BBC and Channel 4 - both owned by the government, by us as the taxpayers, and what they're trying to do now is survive, right? "No bureaucracy ever deconstructs itself… the BBC is struggling… Channel 4 has got about a billion quid coming in a year. If you mix that, all the transmissions, all the back office stuff, all the technical stuff, all that cash… you can keep that kind of coterie of expertise on youth programming and then say 'don't worry about the money, just go out and do what you used to do, upset people!'." Image: Brookside's lesbian kiss between Margaret and Beth (L-R Nicola Stapleton and Anna Friel) was groundbreaking TV. Pic: Shutterstock How feasible would that be? Redmond claims, practically, you could pull it off in a week - "we could do it now, it's very simple, it's all about keyboards and switches". But the screenwriter admits that winning people over mentally to his way of thinking would take a few years of persuading. As for his thoughts on what could replace the BBC licence fee, he says charging people to download BBC apps on their phones seems like an obvious source of income. "There are 25 million licences and roughly 90 million mobile phones. If you put a small levy on each mobile phone, you could reduce the actual cost of the licence fee right down, and then it could just be tagged on to VAT. "Those parts are just moving the tax system around a bit. [then] you wouldn't have to worry about all the criminality and single mothers being thrown in jail, all this kind of nonsense." Image: Original Brookside stars at BAFTA - L:R: Michael Starke, Dean Sullivan, Claire Sweeney and Sue Jenkins. Pic: PA 'Subsidising through streaming is not the answer' Earlier this year, Peter Kosminsky, the director of historical drama Wolf Hall, suggested a levy on UK streaming revenues could fund more high-end British TV on the BBC. Sir Phil describes that as "a sign of desperation". "If you can't actually survive within your own economic basis, you shouldn't be doing it. "I don't think top slicing or subsidising one aspect of the business is the answer, you have to just look at the whole thing as a totality." Image: Mark Rylance (L) and Damian Lewis in Wolf Hall: The Mirror And The Light. Pic: BBC Since selling his production company, Mersey Television, two decades ago, much of his current work has focused on acting as an ambassador for the culture and creative industries. Although he's taken a step away from television, he admits he's disappointed by how risk-averse programme makers appear to have become. "Dare I say it? There needs to be an intellectual foundation to it all." Image: The Hollyoaks cast in 1995. Pic: Shutterstock TV's 'missing a trick' He believes TV bosses are too scared of being fined by Ofcom, and that's meant soaps are not going as far as they should. "The benefits [system], you know, immigration, all these things are really relevant subjects for drama to bring out all the arguments, the conflicts. "The majority of the people know the benefits system is broken, that it needs to be fixed because they see themselves living on their estate with a 10 or 12-year-old car and then there's someone else down the road who knows how to fill a form in, and he's driving around in a £65k BMW, right? Those debates would be really great to bring out on TV, they're missing a trick." While some of TV's biggest executives are slated to speak at the Edinburgh Television Festival, Redmond is not convinced they will be open to listening. "They will go where the perceived wisdom is as to where the industry is going. The fact that the industry is taking a wrong turn, we really need somebody else to come along and go 'Oi!'" When I ask if that could be him, he laughs. Cue dramatic music and closing credits. As plot twists go, the idea of one of TV's most radical voices making a boardroom comeback to stir the pot, realistic or not, is at the very least food for thought for the industry. Edinburgh TV Festival runs from 19 - 22 August.

EXCLUSIVE: Britain's Got Talent Golden Buzzer winner Max Fox reveals Simon Cowell's late semi-final song change advice
Britain's Got Talent Golden Buzzer sensation Max Fox has revealed a late semi-final song U-turn following advice from judge Simon Cowell. Singer Max was an audience member at an audition of the smash hit ITV television show in Blackpool earlier this year. In what he describes as a 'mad moment' the 35-year-0ld shouted out to Cowell from the crowd to request an impromptu audition. The outcome was beyond his wildest dreams. Max was not only granted an audition, where he sang My Way, but also received a Golden Buzzer pass to the semi-final by judge Amanda Holden. Footage of the moment, which Max insists was not staged, has been viewed 160 million times on YouTube. Max, who performs in Aberdeen this month with Cirque: The Greatest Show – Reimagined, revealed he was set to sing an Elton John classic in the semi-final. However, just three days before the event, he received a call from Cowell suggesting he revisit My Way as his audition was so successful. He took the advice on board, but failed to progress to the final. Max explained: 'The semi-final was far more nerve wracking. 'I was actually meant to sing, and this is a bit of an exclusive, Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me. 'Three days before I got a call from Simon who said he thought I should sing My Way again because it had gone worldwide. 'Simon said it was entirely my choice and left it in my hands. 'But I decided to go with him. 'I was against the Post Office Choir who are absolutely amazing. 'I came second to them but I walked away with my head held high. 'I'm really thankful for that because Britain's Got Talent is something I wanted to do since I was a kid. 'It was a bucket list that I could finally tick off after 19-years. 'I finally got my moment and I'm having fun with Cirque, so I'm good.' Max's impromptu audition was included in a Britain's Got Talent episode broadcast on April 19. After 19-years of unsuccessful attempts to land an audition spot the singer boldly stood up from the audience and asked Cowell for an opportunity to perform. His plea resonated with the audience, and judges, and he was allowed to sing. Max revealed he was in the crowd to watch one of his fellow performers from Cirque: The Greatest Show – Reimagined audition. Max explained: 'A lot of people were saying it was all fixed and set up but it was very much real. 'Everything you saw on the television did happen. 'With the exception of me going upstairs with the producers and them cutting down my song which took about 20 minutes. 'But from shouting out in the audience to being on stage singing was probably a maximum of 25 minutes. 'It was a moment of madness but one that that paid off, that's for sure. 'It was spur of the moment as I was actually going to watch one of my dancers who has worked in Cirque. 'She was performing as one of the acts in the show. 'I got a pretty good seat, three rows from Simon and I was on the aisle. 'So thought 'why not create a moment out of this opportunity?' 'I saw a couple of women on the other side shout at Simon and he turned round and waved at them. 'So, I thought maybe I should shout out, and I took a chance.' Max earned a standing ovation from the judges and audience for his emotional rendition of My Way. In an unprecedented move judge Holden pressed her Golden Buzzer to move the singer directly into the semi-finals. Holden had already previously used her Golden Buzzer for the season. Max said: 'It was all a surreal experience. 'I definitely didn't expect to get the Golden Buzzer. 'It was a very crazy hour of my life and I'm trying to hold onto every single memory of that. 'What is beautiful is that it is all over YouTube so I will have it forever imprinted in video which is nice. 'Britain's Got Talent was a crazy experience in itself but it is wonderful to be able to tour the country with Cirque and meet fans. 'It has been a bit of a whirlwind. 'I actually do the song I sang for the Britain's Got Talent audition during the show to pay homage to my BGT journey. 'My social media has blown up as my audition video went super viral with 160 million views across the world. 'I have 80,000 extra followers now off the back of that. 'However, I'm still very much a grounded person as it hasn't changed my life, or me, in any way. 'In terms of opportunities though it definitely opened doors. 'But I will always same be the same guy from Blackpool, I'll never change.' Max is currently touring the UK with Cirque: The Greatest Show – Reimagined which is a breathtaking fusion of musical theatre and circus acts. The family friendly show is an all new production for this year. Max said: 'I created Cirque: The Greatest Show back in 2019. 'Then I partnered up with entertainers who are one of the biggest promoters in the country. 'We worked together to create this large scale tour. 'For the show think The Greatest Showman meets Cirque du Soleil. 'You can expect things you would see under a big top but also aspects that are from a theatrical setting. 'It's a great, family friendly show that everyone enjoys, no matter their age. 'We have really revamped the show this year by stripping it all back and creating a brand new show for 2025.' Cirque: The Greatest Show – Reimagined is at His Majesty's Theatre, Aberdeen on Tuesday, August 12 and Wednesday, August 13. Further details at:

BBC axes Survivor UK after one season, Joel Dommett reveals
Survivor UK returned to television screens, via the BBC, for the first time in more than 20 years in 2023 after first airing with ITV back in 2001/02. The reboot was hosted by Joel Dommett and saw contestants "marooned in a tropical location where they are divided into two tribes, competing against each other in a range of physical and mental challenges" in an attempt to be crowned the sole survivor. The BBC spent £30 million making the new Survivor series, according to The Sun, which was filmed in the Dominican Republic during the summer of 2023. Top 10 best British TV series Survivor axed after just one season in 'TV's most expensive flop' The final of the BBC's first series of Survivor UK aired back in December 2023, with Matthew emerging victorious and winning the £100,000 prize, alongside the title of sole survivor. Now, nearly two years later, host Joel Dommett has revealed the reality show will not be returning for a second season. Dommett, speaking to The Sun, said: 'It just shows you how nothing is a given in telly. 'I thought Survivor would be huge. I thought that would be my job for the next 20 years. 'I've done shows and thought that's not coming back and it keeps coming back and then you do something like Survivor, which you think is guaranteed and it doesn't come back.' Survivor only attracted an average of 2.6 million viewers, the news outlet reported, despite being given a prime slot straight after Strictly Come Dancing on BBC One. RECOMMENDED READING: A source, speaking in The Sun, commented: 'Survivor was given a plum spot in the schedule right after Strictly Come Dancing but totally tanked. 'Execs just can't get their head around why the UK just can't find any love for a format which is beloved around the globe. 'After a year of speculation that the BBC's remake was facing the chop, it's now official. 'It's looking like TV's most expensive flop ever.' The BBC was contacted, but refused to comment.
