Katie Taylor's words to dad 'killed him' after dating woman younger than her
Pete Taylor claimed it 'killed' him when Katie Taylor cut ties after his marriage collapsed and he started a romance with a woman who was the same age as his daughter. The boxing trainer, who grew up in Leeds, had coached Katie all her life and led her to gold at the London Olympics in 2012. But when the legendary boxer discovered his father had split with his mother, Bridget, she made a painful decision. Speaking about losing contact with his eldest daughter, he said: 'Katie is really into her faith, I just remember her coming down to the boxing club – 'Da, I don't want you in the corner. I just don't want you in the corner.'' Katie's father added: 'Social media… I'm married now, married to Karen, and Karen is the same age as Katie, and everybody was saying, 'Pete Taylor's ran off with Katie's best friend.'' Pete clarified that his now wife Karen Brown, 35, knew of Katie, 39, because of her boxing achievements but did not know her personally. He also claimed on the Anything Goes With James English podcast that he considered this rumour an 'insult' to him, because it sounded like he could have 'groomed' her if he had known her since she was a child, which was not the case. Pete Taylor has since reconciled with his eldest daughter Katie (Image: ©INPHO/Gary Carr) Podcast host James then said it was 'ruthless' of Katie to cease talking to him, but Pete offered context. He said: 'Do you know what, I don't think it was ruthless, she has such morals, and such faith, and she thinks if you are married you should be together for life. She has some morals you know, it killed me now, but I had to respect it you know.' Katie later appeared in a documentary and said she felt like she was boxing with one arm after the split because all she had ever known was her father being in her corner. She later failed to retain her gold medal at the Olympics in Rio before turning professional, where she went on to become a multi-division world champion who starred in a thrilling trilogy with Amanda Serrano. And speaking about going years without talking to his daughter, Pete said: 'That was tough because we were like that you know. 'It was tough for both of us but that's life isn't it? But obviously because we were always together, it was a big thing in the newspapers. You would think I was the only person who ever split up a marriage in Ireland.' They are back on good terms after a turbulent few years (Image: ©INPHO/Gary Carr) And after the success of the Olympics in 2012, where Pete and Katie returned to a sensational homecoming, he claimed he was painted as the 'pure villain in Ireland' after Katie's shock quarter-final defeat in the Olympics in Rio four years later. Reemphasising his earlier point, he repeated: 'At the time, it was tough now in all fairness.' Despite a difficult few years, Katie and Pete reconciled, and he was even welcomed back ahead of her third fight with Serrano last month. And speaking before the world championship clash, she said: 'To be back training with him is huge for me, you can't mention my story without mentioning my dad.' Her manager, Brian Peters, added: 'It takes some doing just to get that relationship back, that takes work but it's beautiful to see it. Katie uses a great word – restoration.'

Katie Price reveals pet tragedy after her cat gives birth to kittens
KATIE Price has revealed a pet tragedy after her cat gave birth to "so many" kittens. The former glamour model, 46, is proud owner of Sphynx cat Doris, and previously made a witty social media post about how their figures were the same. 5 Katie Price revealed 'sad news' about her pets on her social media pages Credit: Snapchat/Backgrid 5 She took to Snapchat to reveal how one of her cat Doris' kittens had died Credit: katie-price/Snapchat/Backgrid 5 Katie, 46, has turned down a holiday to look after Doris and the new arrivals Credit: Getty Katie welcomed three of the bald cats into her home back in October - despite being blasted by animal charities for doing so. On her Snapchat page on Friday, the mum of five told how Doris had given birth, and has now revealed she's swerved a holiday to the Isle of Wight to look after the new litter. Yet instead of kicking back and relaxing, she is keeping her house cosy with electric blankets and regular feeding patterns for the new arivals. In a video which showed her in a cream jumper and her dark hair in a straight style, she added the caption "sad news" and four emotional Emoji icons. In the clip, Katie told her followers there had been a death and said: "An update on the kittens, one unfortunately died. "That's the one wrapped in tissue, two hours after we fed it. "Luckily I'm trying to help the kittens latch on to the mum, two are just about doing it but I'm having to put them on it, because they are so premature. "As you can see how knackered I am, every two and a half hours through the day and through the night I'm feeding them for the mum. "She's a good mum, and then she keeps bringing one to the bed with her, she did that earlier, I think that was a sign to come and look in the box as one had died." Katie Price admits her family are panicked over star's weight loss as mum fears eating disorder and dad calls her 'thin' legs 'terrible' Katie added: "But that's good because she trusts us and loves us so thats good. "So I've got two latching on to her now, so thats the update." She then panned the camera to new parent Doris, sitting on her bed, as she cooed: "Hey Doris good girl." CHARITY BACKLASH Katie forked out for Doris and two other cats last year. Katie's troubled pet history November 2017 One of Katie's horses was killed on the A24 after it broke lose from its field. She announced the death on social media and said she was devastated. February 2018 Katie's dog Queenie was hit by a car near her home, with the former model blaming a delivery driver for leaving the gate open. November 2018 Katie claimed the family's pet chameleon, called Marvin, died from a broken heart after her children Junior and Princess moved in with her ex husband Peter Andre. February 2020 Her Alsatian Sparkle lost her life after getting lose and being hit by a car. Katie posted the news on social media but was hammered by fans who called for her to be more careful. July 2020 Fans rounded on Katie after her daughter Princess's puppy Rolo suffocated. JRC Bullies who gifted the dog to Katie were furious and said: "We are heartbroken that this has happened as we told Katie not to leave a small puppy on its own. "We can't believe that the puppy was left unattended as we had left strict instructions.' November 2022 Katie came under fire after she revealed her pomeranian Sharon had been hit by a car and killed outside her Horsham home. June 2023 Katie was slammed by PETA after her seventh pet was killed. She revealed her dog blade had been run over on the same stretch as road as her last dog Sharon. October 2023 Katie had four Chihuahuas but in October she sold two of them for £2k each. She showed her affections for the trio, even pushing them around in a pram. Yet, at the time, she could not escape backlash from charity PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). They called for the need for an injunction to be put in place, stopping Katie from owning pets completely. They had previously offered Katie £5,000 to stop buying pets, which she had not responded to. PETA UK founder Ingrid Newkirk told The Sun: "If there was a way to file an injunction to stop this serial animal killer, PETA would do so, as this woman doesn't care about the lives she wastes or listen to vital advice and is still treating live animals like stuffed toys: as disposable. "If William Hill took totally tasteless bets, the odds would favour those betting on how little time this kitten has on Earth, given the hideous track record of animal deaths in Price's custody. No one could call it 'care'.' The new additions to the family came just a few months after she revealed she had to put down her last 'designer' cat, Frog, after being diagnosed with a neurological disease. She had bought Frog in February for £1,200, naming him in a sweet tribute to her son, Harvey, who loves frogs, but came under fire months later when she shared a video of the pet wrestling with a dog. Katie had eight pets die in just six years - including four dogs and a horse all getting hit by cars. She has also given away pets, including an out-of-control Alsatian called Bear for attacking other animals. At the beginning of 2024, Katie gave away a puppy called Tank because he 'no longer looked cute on Instagram'. She also currently has a pet pug, named Captain, and avidly looks after horses. 5 Katie told how she is helping the kittens to latch on to Doris Credit: Getty

Struggling single mum surviving on just £125 a MONTH fights tears at £250-a-night hotel on Rich Holiday, Poor Holiday
A STRUGGLING single mother who lives on just £125 a month after bills are paid, found herself fighting back tears on tonight's episode of Rich Holiday, Poor Holiday. Kelly, a cash-strapped mum-of-one and her bestie Lewie, took part in the Channel 5 experiment and found themselves in Northern Italy, with go-getting grandmas Jackie and Martine, both former pro dancers. 7 A single mother found herself holding back tears on tonight's episode of Rich Holiday, Poor Holiday Credit: Channel 5 7 Kelly, 34, from Portsmouth was left lost for words at the £250-a-night Italy hotel Credit: Channel 5 7 She admitted to feeling "quite emotional" Credit: Channel 5 7 Normally, Kelly and her best pal Lewie go on caravan trips Credit: Channel 5 While 29-year-old happy-go-lucky Lewie lives at home with his mum and dad, works shifts for a budget airline and also flips burgers at his dad's truck-stop cafe, his best pal Kelly, 34, is employed by a transport company. Opening up about her hardships as a single mother to an eight-year-old, Kelly, who is from Portsmouth, explained: 'I work as hard as I can. 'Sometimes I'll even work a night shift, just because the night shifts are a bit more money.' But despite putting in the graft, every month after bills and food, Kelly is left with just £125 - so it's no surprise that luxury all-inclusive holidays are out of the question. The brunette confirmed: 'There's so much you want to buy but you can't, so I don't spend on things that aren't necessarily needed.' Kelly and Lewie, who met through friends 11 years ago and have been inseparable ever since, typically go for cheap-as-chips holidays to caravan sites. And to keep costs down, it's self-catering or budget fast food. The mother explained: 'We love Benidorm, or we'll do a nice little caravan break. 'We don't go out to eat that much, if we do we get a sharing platter and it works out cheaper.' But in tonight's episode, the pair were whisked off to live the high life at a majestic castle with Jackie and Martine, both of whom have travelled to the world's most exclusive destinations. I'm a mum-of-5 on £1.5K Universal Credit per month - people think I'm popping kids out to get 'lots of money' but I still have to use food banks - its embarrassing 'We're taking part in this to see how the other half live,' Kelly shared. Unlike Kelly and Lewie, not only are Jackie and Martine used to splashing the cash on fancy food and high adrenaline activities, but Jackie once spent a night in a £12,000-a-night hotel in Sweden. Once they arrived at the Veneto region of Northern Italy, the four best pals stayed in a former castle, the grand Hotel CastelBrando - a lavish hotel fit for a king, nestled in the Prosecco hills. The money you spend on certain things here is a three/four day holiday for us Kelly And it didn't take long before it all appeared very overwhelming for Kelly, as moments after entertaining the £250 a night suite, she admitted: 'It's just something else…quite emotional, there might be some tears shed.' Clearly blown away by the jaw-dropping room, she gasped: 'I don't think I have any words.' Moments later, Martine observed: 'I could see a bit of a tear in Kelly's eye, it's overwhelming for her to see such splender.' 7 They stayed in a former castle, the grand Hotel CastelBrando Credit: Channel 5 7 Kelly described the suite as "something else" Credit: Channel 5 7 The single mother was shocked to see glasses of Dom Perignon for £430 and soft drinks for almost £14 Credit: Channel 5 And it wasn't just a posh hotel Kelly and Lewie were treated to - on the once-in-a-lifetime trip they also got a tour of Venice, with a £250 gondola ride and time at the spa, to which Kelly said: 'It's a lot different to arcades.' The shock continued for bargain hunters Kelly and Lewie, who were gobsmacked by the 'disgusting' prices, with £13.80 soft drinks and £430 glasses of Dom Perignon. Why caravan holidays are so underrated CARAVAN park holidays are a British staple. And with the cost of living crisis wreaking havoc on Britain's purses, more of us are turning to them for an affordable break. Josie O'Brien, Senior Digital Writer on Fabulous, weighs in on why she thinks caravan holidays are seriously underrated... WHEN I was a child, my mum used to collect the £9.50 holiday vouchers in The Sun. She'd use them to book a couple of nights away at a caravan park during the school holidays. As an adult, I fully appreciate the convenience of a humble caravan holiday. No faffing about with passports, no luggage limits and no bog-standard hotel breakfast of stale toast and grey eggs. I still love caravan holidays as an adult. In a world of doing everything for the 'gram, a caravan park brings you back to basics. There's no obligation to get dressed up, no stress to fit a million picturesque excursions in one week and I don't find myself flustered in tourist hot spots like abroad. I love going to coastal caravan parks and strolling along the beach parade. My highlight is always fresh mussels, ice-creams and classic pubs to grab an afternoon tipple in. And then, of course, there's the cost. Staying in a caravan is definitely way cheaper than my international trips. With no expensive hotel bills and the ability to cook my own meals, I'm spending hundreds less than I would abroad. I've had some of my best and most relaxing holidays in caravans. Maybe I'll buy my own one day. To this, Kelly claimed: 'The money you spend on certain things here is a three/four day holiday for us.' After dining at a £70-per-head restaurant, Kelly and Lewie were told that their holiday had a total cost of £8,118. To this, the single mother said: 'I'll be honest, it's not what I would expect for the money that's been spent.' I work as hard as I can. Sometimes I'll even work a night shift, just because the night shifts are a bit more money Kelly Whilst Lewie chimed in: 'That's five months worth of wages for me for this summer. An obscene amount for a holiday. 'Astonishing. We would rather stick to our budget holidays. Luxury isn't for me.' Despite her shock at the cost, Kelly beamed: 'It turned out to be an amazing week with beautiful places, beautiful people, friends who are friends for life now. 'That just shows you don't need to have money to have fun.' Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club
