She added, "So I hope that this is a nice touchpoint for kids who have a new step-sibling. Maybe take a little bit of a cue from that."

Today, the results of Katie's latest trip to the operating table was revealed, with the star sporting a very tight face pinned back by surgical bandages and stitching tape. Walking through the hotel restaurant, Katie wore comfy tracksuit bottoms and a tank top as she kept her head straight, struggling to turn her neck as she moved. The star, who has always been open about her love of surgery, shared a fun selfie from her hospital bed in an elevator surrounded by her medical team, snapping the group and a cameraman in the mirror as she headed down. Advertisement READ MORE KATIE PRICE PRICEY PROBLEM Katie Price accused of trying to 'overshadow daughter Princess amid rift' The latest surgery comes less than a year since she had another facelift as well as a 'fox-eye lift' at the Trio Clinic in Istanbul. Her new pics seems to confirm she has had further work on her face as well as her nose and eyes. A clear nose plug was seen visible on her septum, while flesh-coloured bandages were seen pulling back the sides of her eyes. Her trip comes as she has hit a turbulent patch in her relationship with daughter Princess, whose TV documentary series The Princess Diaries launched on ITVX today. Advertisement As exclusively revealed by The Sun, the mum and daughter duo, who are often hailed "twins" due to their lookalike appearance, have run into trouble when Katie was banned from seeing her daughter walk a runway in Ibiza – despite being on the island at the same time. In scenes that aired on the show, Princess was seen hitting the catwalk for Ibiza Fashion Festival and admitting her nerves, fearing she didn't fit in. Katie Price broke down in tears after being banned from seeing daughter Princess on Ibiza holiday Ahead of the show's debut, Katie shared her frustrations at 'not being allowed to go near' the documentary, with Princess moving into her dad, Peter Andre's house, while she shot it. ITV2 bosses reportedly told how Katie could not be a part of the series, with a source telling The Sun that Katie felt "isolated and disregarded". Advertisement "She loves Princess so much and is supremely proud of the young woman she is becoming," they said. "Princess told her mum that she needed to distance herself publicly and yet chats to her all the time behind closed doors. 11 Katie jetted away for 'his and hers' work with boyfriend JJ Credit: BackGrid 11 The star's painful bandages pulled back on her face Credit: BackGrid Advertisement "She feels a bit like Brooklyn Beckham, with no one in the Andre family really speaking to her." The Sun reported telly bosses deliberately cut the former glamour model out of The Princess Diaries because it is 'not good for Princess to be seen with Katie'. In a bid to market the youngster as a pretty, middle-class influencer, they even turned down Katie's team's offer to film for free for three days. Katie later vented her frustrations on her podcast, The Katie Price Show, to sister Sophie, explaining that although she supports Princess no matter what, the situation has left her "insulted" and struggling mentally. Advertisement Addressing The Sun's article, Katie said: 'They've told the truth in it. If you actually read it, there's not a fib. I'm not allowed and I'm not welcome. 'But what hurts my feelings, and it does upset me, is when your kids grow up, you go to their assemblies, you go to their Christmas things, you go to their awards, you go to their football matches or gymnastics, you're involved in everything they do. "And knowing that what my career has been, Princess is taking that same path, trying to do the same as what I've done, which I absolutely love and adore of Princess. "But I have not been allowed to go on any photo shoot, no signings or Superdrug openings or anything like that, and it puts Princess in a situation because I don't want her to feel she has to choose between me and her work because I want her to do well.' Advertisement 'I have said to Princess, just see how it feels for me because I should be there supporting you," she added. "I want to be there to support you like my family did. And I'm your mum and especially as you're doing stuff that I did, I'm proud of you and want to be there.' 11 Katie had bandages overing her ears and the side of her face Credit: BackGrid 11 JJ was forced to miss his planned surgery after complications due to his diabetes Credit: johnjoeslater/Instagram Advertisement 11 Princess has landed her own series, The Princess Diaries, documenting her life Credit: ITV 11 JJ and Katie were initially meant to both get work done while in Istanbul Credit: PA

Why don't celebs worth BILLIONS know how to go to the beach? £35K handbags & £820 shoes are utterly ridiculous
Scroll down to shop functional and on-trend holiday essentials for less BEACH, PLEASE Why don't celebs worth BILLIONS know how to go to the beach? £35K handbags & £820 shoes are utterly ridiculous SUN, sea and champagne - the life of an A-lister at the beach is a pretty good one. So why can't they get their outfits right? 9 Newly married Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos and his wife Lauren Sanchez make their way along the beach Credit: BackGrid 9 Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos tied the knot surrounded by celebrity pals in June Credit: Shutterstock Editorial This week billionaire Jeff Bezos touched down in Ibiza with his new wife, Lauren Sanchez. The 55-year-old, who married the Amazon boss earlier this year, stuck to her signature style of a tight frock and, erm, heels. Making a slow and steady way across the shingle beach, clutching Jeff, 61, for balance with three bodyguards in tow, you'd think she'd know better than to wear 6inch mules across the sand. 9 Along side Bezos and Sanchez, Leonardo DiCaprio and girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti also in heels Credit: BackGrid Also accompanying the couple was Leonardo DiCaprio, 50, with his Italian model girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, 27, who is no stranger to challenging surfaces in her line of work as a catwalk regular, also struggled to navigate the rough terrain. But ladies, come on. Don't you know better? And when it's not their ridiculous footwear, it's their bags. 9 Kate Moss carries an Hermes Birkin bag to the beach Credit: BackGrid 9 Kate, 51, casually carries a £35K handbag, open, along the sand while on holiday Credit: BackGrid Kate Moss, also in Ibiza this week, was spotted on the beach, undoubtedly looking as cool as ever, in a sheer top, an unnecessary belt and a £35,000 handbag. The 51-year-old waded though the white sand and dunes of the party island in Spain carrying a high-status and high-cost Hermes Birkin bag. Surely Kate, who is currently the face of YSL and has multiple designers falling at her feet, can get a proper beach bag? And can't Vittoria and Lauren splash out on a pair of £1 Primark flip flops? Give over. There seems to be an army of celebrities who don't know how to go to the beach. As of the rest of the summer, it appears the heat has sent everyone in celeb land a little doolally. 9 Singer Dua Lipa hits the beach with her friends out in Sydney, Australia, in unique but pricey footwear Credit: BackGrid Singer Dua Lipa took a stroll to the beach in Australia in March whilst on her Radical Optimism tour. Dua, 29, headed to the sand wearing a white vest top, bag and sheer skirt. But her questionable footwear weren't anything you'd associated with the sea-side. Wearing ballet pumps, but not just any ballet pumps but £820 Maison Margiela ballet pumps famous for looking like cow hooves. The split toe design would possibly be better suited to farmland than sea. 9 Margot Robbie heads to the beach while holidaying in Ibiza wearing head to toe black Credit: BackGrid Aussie Margot Robbie, 35, swapped downunder for Ibiza in July but didn't take any inspiration from her Barbie wardrobe, but instead wore a long black maxi dress. We're all for a cover up Margot, but, crikey aren't you hot? 9 Katie Price on the beach in Dubai in what looks like a welders mask Credit: BackGrid Speaking of hot, Katie Price keeps the heat off her face whilst sunbathing in what appears to be a welders mask. The 47-year-old mum and glamour model didn't want to take any chances when she was beachside in Dubai earlier this summer by wearing an extraordinarily large visor. 9 Kylie Jenner heads in a striped bodycon dress in St Tropez Credit: BackGrid While many of us feel hot, sticky and lets face it, a little bit swollen on the beach, Kylie Jenner can handle being in a tight spot. When holidaying in St Tropez this year along side boyfriend and actor Timothee Chalamet she wore a body-con bandage dress to the beach. The 27-year-old reality star and make-up moguls look is gorgeous for the red carpet but isn't chic for the beach.

‘He opened doors for us', says Hollywood's Mel Gibson as he reveals who helped Braveheart film in Ireland 30 years later
HOLLYWOOD star Mel Gibson thrills fans as he returns to Meath, to celebrate 30 years since Braveheart was filmed there. Mel, 69, signed posters at the Trim Castle Hotel and posed for a selfie with fans, including Adam Walker and his son Nathan. Advertisement 5 Actor Mel Gibson attended the local King John Summer Prom festival Credit: � 2025 PA Media, All Rights Reserved 5 He was one of the main cast in Braveheart Credit: Alamy 5 Fans Adam and Nathan took pictures with the actor Credit: � 2025 PA Media, All Rights Reserved The event was held as part of the local King John Summer Prom festival, and the proceeds from the event will be donated to the Irish Equity Support Fund. Many fans were seen queuing at Trim Castle Hotel to meet the famous Gibson and other Braveheart cast members. And a young fan, Maksim Okhotnikov, aged 8, dressed up as Braveheart hero William Wallace in a costume created by his mother for the event. He revealed to PA News Agency that he didn't watch the entire film except for some clips due to the age cert, which is rated 16+. Advertisement But he also said that the thing he liked most from the clips was the character William Wallace, whom Mel played in the film. Adam and his son, Nathan, aged 7, were among the first people into the room to meet the cast of Braveheart. Talking to the PA, Adam said: "Obviously he's too young to watch the full movie, so I was trying to show him the quotes, the big freedom speech at the end of the movie. "We were watching that, we were watching the mad Irishman of course: David O'Hara who plays Stephen of Ireland. Advertisement "We were at the Q&A yesterday and a lot of the lads pointed out that the actors said the thing that it did was it really changed things, Ireland seemed to really latch onto it, there was a lot of similarities between the Irish and the Scottish, but it seemed to call out to everybody. "We were looking for a wedding venue 12 years back and we were looking everywhere and we found here, it was lovely, the prices were great, and then I read at the end the castle was where Braveheart was filmed. Pubgoers shocked as they spot Hollywood A-lister sinking pints outside London pub "I said to my wife 'we're doing it' so we got married in the room just there and we had the castle as the backdrop." Adam pointed out that it was unreal to return to the same venue and meet the very Mel Gibson in the flesh. Advertisement HOLLYWOOD STAR'S TRUTH The classic film had some of its key scenes filmed in Ireland, although the film is set in Scotland. This was due to the Irish government lobbying and offering to supply 1,600 army reserves as extras in order to help their film productions while gaining some potential tourism. Mel Gibson also revealed to RTE News that they struggled to film big battle scenes in Scotland due to the ground not being 'friendly' enough for the horses. This led the whole film production to relocate to Ireland to film the battle scenes, with scenes filmed in Kildare, Meath and Wicklow. Advertisement He also told how then Arts Minister Michael D Higgins helped get the flick made, adding: "He opened doors for us." It was said that the President welcomed the whole cast with open arms at the time, making their production more seamless and efficient. 5 Maksim Okhotnikov dressed up as William Wallace, a character that Mel plays Credit: � 2025 PA Media, All Rights Reserved 5 Many fans were thrilled to meet the cast at the event Credit: � 2025 PA Media, All Rights Reserved
