Princess Andre addresses parents' bitter feud after dad Peter's bombshell claims
Princess Andre has opened up about her parents' public spat after dad Peter Adre posted a blistering statement accusing Katie Price of peddling lies for 16 years. It's officially crunch time for the noughties' most iconic couple over 20 years since former glamour model Katie, 47, and Mysterious Girl hitmaker Peter, 52, fell in love on I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here in 2004. After marrying in 2005, welcoming two children – Junior, 20, and Princess, 18 – and then divorcing four years later, relations turned sour for the former lovebirds. Tensions have officially boiled over, as Pete took to social media last night with some rare stern words for his ex-wife. Now Princess has addressed the sudden escalation on Snapchat during a Q&A after she was asked: 'Does it affect you even now when your mum and dad don't get on?' The teen responded: 'To be honest it doesn't affect me. 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' Over the top of the clip, Princess added: 'I love my mum and dad and that's all that matters.' In his shock Instagram statement last night, Peter wrote: 'The latest comments about my children's welfare and living arrangements compel me to set the record straight. 'For well-documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood. 'In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement. I have never made this public before, out of respect for my children. 'In 2011 and 2015, publicly documented court cases, found my ex-wife had made false claims. She was ordered to pay substantial damages and legal costs, and to apologise to me and my management. The same falsehoods are being repeated today. 'Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations I have yet to address. Those will now be dealt with in the coming months.' In a statement to Metro, Katie's representative said in response: 'Kate is in a much better and clear headspace and is at peace with the situation, this was in the past and she doesn't feel the need to bring up tit for tat comments, but more importantly she's dealing with this the right way and it's now in her lawyers hands. 'Kate will no longer be gaslighted and bullied as she once was…' This comes after Katie slammed those producing Princess's debut reality ITV series, The Princess Diaries. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Chatting to her sister Sophie Price on her podcast, The Katie Price Show, the mum-of-five claimed to have been deliberately cut out of Princess' show because she wasn't good for the teen's brand. More Trending 'I want the best for Junior and Princess, and I would never get in the way of it,' she began. Katie explained: '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 [about] Princess.' Got a story?

Most iconic Fast and Furious villain still 'waiting for a call' for the sequel
Jason Momoa has opened up about plans to return for Fast and Furious 11, admitting that he's still 'waiting for a call' from movie bosses. The Dune legend made his debut as campy villain Dante Reyes in 2023's Fast X, and was clearly in his element alongside the star-studded cast, including Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Ludacris, Tyrese and co. After Vin confirmed that the 11th and final instalment will be racing onto the big screen in 2027, the 46-year-old revealed that he would love to 'f**k s**t up' once again. Speaking to Metro to promote his stunning historical drama, Chief of War, talk turned to his future projects, and whether we would ever see Dante again. 'Listen, they couldn't get rid of me if they tried,' he declared. 'But I'm just saying that I'm waiting for them to call. 'I'm ready to go. You can quote me, I'm ready to f**k s**t up.' The most recent Fast and Furious movie ended on an almighty cliffhanger, perfectly setting up Dante's desire to exact revenge on the gang after the events of the fifth movie led to his father's death. Jason's unhinged performance was a hit with fans and critics alike, with many branding his character the franchise's 'best villain yet'. Unpacking his efforts in a chat with Variety at the time, he shared that he had the time of his life with the role. 'I've never played a character that's, what's the word – he's evil and quirky and androgynous,' he teased. 'He's very sadistic and fun. It's very bizarre. 'I haven't played a villain in a very long time.' The Game of Thrones icon jumped right into character and actually improvised some of his most morbid scenes, including one where he enjoyed a cocktail with two of his dead henchmen. Director Louis Leterrier raved about his efforts in front of the camera, telling the Hollywood Reporter: 'What you have to realize is that Jason and I love each other. 'We found each other on this movie, and we realized that making each other laugh was a great way to create Dante. 'We really liked making each other laugh, and the extra points, the joker of our game, was to get Vin to crack up and come out of character as Dom Toretto. More Trending 'So we tried really hard, like when Dante calls Dom 'butthole,' but Vin is so focused when he is on set that it was impossible.' Fingers crossed that they can get him to crack in the next one… This article was first published on August 1. Fast and Furious 11 is slated to be released in 2027. Got a story?

We charged guests £700 to attend our wedding — even strangers could come
When Steve proposed to Marley on January 1, 2025, on an ice rink in Boise, Idaho, surrounded by their family and friends, the pair got straight to planning their special day. But, after discovering the cost of weddings, an average of $35,000 in the US and £23,700 in the UK, the couple made the unconventional decision to charge guests to attend their nuptials. The idea initially began as a joke, but they warmed up to the idea when they realised they'd be able to have the party they wanted. In fact, the tickets were publicly available online and the bride announced on TikTok that anyone could pay to attend if they wished – even strangers. Marley Jaxx, 34, and her husband Steve Larsen, 37, gave guests the option of paying £42 each to attend the actual wedding day, or £735 for a three-day experience. This included the wedding, a charity rehearsal dinner and a biohacking day which involved health experts, electrolyte and red light treatments, and breath work – followed by a recovery lounge. 'We decided to charge because we started making a big list of everyone who we wanted to come, we were paying per head, and wanted a big party but the cost kept getting higher and higher,' Steve, an entrepreneur from Boise, explains. 'We said instead of people getting us a gift, or donating to a honeymoon fund – pay for your meal, and you can come party with us. For us, it was all about doing a different way of doing things, and changing how people think about weddings.' X Factor icon Diana Vickers and Metro's dating expert Alice Giddings dive into your wildest sex, love, and dating dilemmas – every Tuesday. Listen wherever you get your podcasts or watch on YouTube. And be sure to follow and subscribe so you never miss an episode. You can also join the fun on our WhatsApp Group Chat here – share your dilemmas and Diana and Alice may just give you a call. Marley, also an entrepreneur, says that their decision to charge people to celebrate was met with some raised eyebrows. @marleyjaxx I thought we all knew the deal by now, but just in case… Yes. You can come to the wedding. No, you don't need a secret password. Unless you count CRASHTHEPARTY as a password… in which case, say less. I was on a client call yesterday and someone asked: 'Wait… can I ACTUALLY buy a ticket to your wedding??' BABY. That is why I've been making these videos every day like a wedding-obsessed Willy Wonka with Canva access. YES, YOU CAN COME. YES, YOU ARE INVITED. YES, THIS IS REAL LIFE. 🎟️ It's $57 📅 Please RSVP before July… if you wait till after, sure, you might still get in… but you could be standing in a corner eating ice cubes while everyone else has dinner. No promises. There will be cake. Emotions. Possibly holograms. A portion of every ticket helps build a classroom in Kenya with Village Impact Drop 'CRASHTHEPARTY' below and I'll send you the invitation. Bring a friend. Or five. We'll save you a seat (unless you wait too long, in which case you might be eating air). ♬ original sound – Marley Jaxx 'Most people got it. Of course there were people who did a double take and were like 'wait, what?',' she adds. 'One friend of mine didn't like it, and he didn't hold back either. We debated it, and in the end, he said he understood. Other responses we had were from people saying that if we can't afford a big wedding, then don't do it. 'It was never about what we could afford.' Despite initial hesitations, 300 guests attended, covering the £36,894 cost of the shindig, which took place on August 1. The celebrations featured brass players, an outside ceremony, a three tier cake and fire displays. 'The people who were at the wedding wanted to be there,' Marley says. 'Guests were commenting on how peaceful it was. It changed the feeling of the wedding. 'I thought it would be stressful, but it was peaceful. One of the guests said when people get a wedding invitation, there is an obligation to go. 'But when you choose to pay, it is a different feeling – it shows how much they appreciate you.' The newlyweds also managed to raise £97,807 to be donated to the charity Village Impact, which provides community-led education, leadership, and economic opportunities in Kenya. The couple say the opportunities for guests to donate were through bracelets made by kids in Kenya, a silent auction with art from Ugandan artists, and even a few guests committing to join them on their trip to Africa to build the school in July 2026. Marley and Steve says they're 'thrilled' with how the wedding went. More Trending Despite the backlash on social media, Marley said they were 'frugal' for their wedding. Marley said: 'I hope that any bride can say that there was nothing they wanted to change about their wedding day. We had family who travelled from all over, our three daughters did public speaking, which we were super proud of. View More » 'Everyone was dancing, we had such a great time.'
