Katie Price slapped with new legal row as exes Kieran Hayler and Alex Reid team up
Katie Price is at the centre of a new legal row with her ex-husbands over a planned tell-all documentary. The show, due to air next year, is set to spill the beans on her relationships, according to TV insiders.
Kieran Hayler, 38, and Alex Reid, 50, are consulting lawyers to try to block the film from featuring them. The pair are in contact via an intermediary as both are said to be aghast at the prospect of Katie talking.
A source said: 'They feel like they have been backed into a corner and have no choice. They just want her to stop trashing them, and can't believe she is being given a platform.' It comes after Katie was left unable to complete basic functions after latest facial surgeries.
Lawyers for Katie's first husband, Peter Andre, were already on 'red alert' even before news of the planned documentary surfaced last week.
It comes as Peter, 52, released a statement blasting his ex-wife's 'lies'. Asked about the show, an insider close to the Australian singer said: 'His lawyers will be keeping a close eye on all things moving forward in terms of what Kate says or does.'
The three-part series is reportedly being made by Louis Theroux's production company Mindhouse and put out by Sky. A strongly worded legal letter is being prepared on behalf of Kieran and Alex, urging the broadcaster to reconsider airing it.
A spokesman for Kieran said: 'We are keeping all our options open. I can confirm Alex Reid is on the same page.' A TV insider claimed this week that the autobiographical show would 'likely spill the beans on [Katie's] many flings and love affairs' and would be the 'most authentic version of her story'.
But a source close to Kieran said: 'Enough is enough. They want to move on with their lives, and they can't trust anything that comes out her mouth.'
Katie and Kieran were married from 2013 to 2021. They had two kids, Jett, now 12, and Bunny, 11. Former cage fighter Alex wed the ex-glamour model in Las Vegas in February 2010. They separated in January 2011.
Alex sued his ex for breach of confidence, misuse of private information and breach of contract after she disclosed to pals videos and photos of him performing a sex act.
High Court judge Mr Justice Warby branded Katie's behaviour 'persistent, flagrant, arrogant, high-handed and inexcusable'. She was told to pay £25,000 in damages and £150,000 in costs.
Reality TV star Alex said it had an impact on his career, adding: 'She was saying the most disgusting things about me... It was affecting me working continually because people were laughing at me.'
Katie was married to Peter from 2005 to 2009, and they have Junior, 20, and Princess, 18. She has been in the spotlight recently around the launch of her eldest daughter's ITV show, The Princess Diaries. Her claim last week that Princess lives with her seemed to enrage Peter.
Accusing his ex of repeated lies, he said: 'Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until... adulthood. In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement.'
He also reminded fans of court cases in 2011 and 2015, saying they showed Katie had made false claims. Yesterday a source said: 'Pete felt he had to do this for the sake of not only him, but his wife [Emily], Princess and Junior. He has received so many messages of support from people who are glad he has called such behaviour out.'
In response, mum-of-five Katie – who also has son Harvey, 23, with football coach Dwight Yorke – said: 'I know I will always be seen as a sinner. That's fair. I allowed myself to fall into a reliance on drugs and alcohol. At times I was not the mother I should have been while I struggled with mental illness.
'I have been at times a poor friend, an awful sibling, and an untrustworthy partner. I've self-medicated, been unfaithful, damaged myself and those that I love.'
Princess, meanwhile, says Katie and Peter's feud does not trouble her, as she loves them both. When a fan asked if she was affected by her parents not getting on, she replied: '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.'
She added: 'I love my mum and dad and that's all that matters.' Katie has claimed she was banned from Princess's 18th birthday party filmed for her show and that her daughter's management team thought she was trash.
A source said Katie was not banned but had missed the party due to being abroad. Sky did not respond to a request for comment.

Shark Tank judge Nick Bell: The exact steps I took to look better at 45 than I did at 34
An Australian entrepreneur and TV personality has revealed the detailed steps he took to reverse his biological age. Nick Bell, a 45-year-old businessman with an estimated $274million net worth, recently shared his remarkable health transformation in an online post - and explained precisely what he did to look better at 45 than he did over a decade earlier. The Shark Tank Australia judge recently took to Instagram to explain how in his mid 40s he now had 'the energy and appearance of my 28-year-old self'. To prove it, Nick shared a 'before' picture taken at age 34, accompanied by a more recent 'after' shot. Across an Instagram carousel of notes, the businessman proceeded to break down how he had achieved his health transformation. 'How I reversed my biological age to 28 from 45: a 30-second step-by-step guide,' he wrote. The post was neatly divided into sections on diet, supplements, skin, hair, sleep, daily habits, life habits and 'nice-to-haves'. 'Test these out, and I promise you'll start aging backwards,' Nick said. DIET Nick offered the details of his morning routine along with the food guidelines he followed during the day. 'Morning: As soon as I wake, lemon water with salt. I generally fast for 14 hours (any longer, cortisol rises),' he said. After this, he enjoys an organic matcha with hot water. For the remainder of the day, Nick said that most of his meals are animal-based. On the menu are things like grass fed meat, eggs and seafood. Fruits are also a daily occurrence - but perhaps surprisingly Nick admitted he has 'some veggies' but rarely. His two 'sometimes foods' are rice and dark chocolate. And the final golden diet rule? His last meal is always by 6pm. SUPPLEMENTS One of the most-detailed sections of Nick's post was a laundry list of supplements that he takes in the mornings and evenings. Starting the day with what he described as his 'morning stack', Nick shared a 14-point list of supplements. Among his morning supplements intake are collagen, creatine, NAD, stinging nettle and magnesium glycine. At night time, Nick's supplement intake continues with what he describes as his 'sleep stack'. The six supplements he has are glycine, spermidine, oleamide, my-inositol and magnesium threonate. SKIN & HAIR Nick credited the marked change in his outward appearance to a number of unconventional hair and skin treatment measures. For his skin, Nick uses a 'beef tallow' moisturiser. He also has been undergoing Tixel skin rejuvenation treatments for 'eye bags'. He also underwent 'PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) to beef up collagen'. PRF treatment involves using a patient's own blood to stimulate tissue regeneration and accelerate healing, which is done by drawing a blood sample, and centrifuging it, before re-applying to the skin. As for hair, Nick's recommendations were focused on stopping his hair from turning grey. As part of his evening supplements routine, he takes 'spermidine', which he claimed 'drastically reversed my greying hair.' Nick also uses Mayraki hair care products, which he said additionally helped 'restore' his 'original hair colour'. The founder of multi-million marketing firm WME also said he was trying a 'red light cap', which is essentially an LED light for your scalp, but added that 'the jury is still out' on its effectiveness. SLEEP Nick's first unusual recommendation among his sleep tips was mouth tape. 'I was a mouth breather, this completely changed the shape of my face,' he said. He also listed 'nose tape' and a 'silk eye mask' as measures to improve beauty sleep. Trendy 'grounding bed sheets' were also among Nick's recommendations, which he believed assisted with 'inflammation.' For the uninitiated, these sheets are woven with conductive materials like silver or carbon fibres, which claim to 'connect you to the Earth's electrical energy as you sleep'. Finally, Nick said he uses Sensate, a sensory device that emits vibrations and sound, 'for meditation'. EXERCISE & DAILY HABITS Exercise-wise, Nick completes 20 minutes of bike or sledding daily as his cardio workout. He also undertakes weights sessions four to five times per week, aiming for 45 minutes per session. Some of his other daily lifestyle habits include taking ice baths, hopping in the sauna at least four times per week, stretching in the evening and being in bed by 10pm. In a section that described his daily lifestyle health habits, Nick explained that he went in the sauna four times per week and also regularly took ice baths, explaining that he's 'prone to inflammation' (Stock image pictured) He also has a number of rules around hydration. He drinks water with salt, tries to only drink from glass bottles and only has filtered drinking water. Nick also carries around a 'Portable Red light for eye sight (679nm)'. Speaking of light, Nick also suggested 'no blue light after 8pm' - like the ones emitted from smart phone screens. He also touched on his drinking habits. 'I cut down my binge drinking significantly, he wrote. 'If I do drink, it's vodka with water or coconut water or wine in moderation.' NICE-TO-HAVES The final section of the millionaire's health recommendations saw him share a list of 'great add-ons' to check out 'if you have access or budget'. The first was a hyperbaric chamber, which Nick suggested using three to four times per week. The next was 'exosome infusions', an IV treatment which claim to promote healing and cell regeneration. Further to his previous suggestions around water consumption, Nick recommended installing home water filtration systems and even explained that he'd 'converted my pool to a chlorine free pool'. Finally, he said he'd also installed 'EMF protectors throughout the house', which are said to reduce or redirect the electromagnetic field within a space. The lengthy post shared by Nick resulted in a number of intrigued replies. The most-liked one was a critique from Australian fitness coach, Katie Appleby. 'This all sounds great (albeit expensive), and I love that it's worked for you! But as advice for the general population, it's really not the best starting point,' Katie wrote. 'If someone's not consistently nailing the basics (quality sleep, hydration, daily movement, 3x/week strength training, enough protein (1.6–2.2g/kg), fruit & veg, and stress management) no stack or grounding sheet in the world is going to make a dent. 'Most people don't need more hacks, they need more consistency with the fundamentals,' she concluded. Always see your GP or trained medical professional before making any lifestyle ir supplement changes that could impact your health or wellbeing.

The Aussie treat Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway can't get enough of as she studies Down Under
Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway has been pictured with a beloved Australian snack. The royal, who is currently studying at the University of Sydney, was snapped walking around campus on Sunday with two packets of Tim Tams. The 21-year-old was gifted the beloved Aussie biscuits by her local friend, who has been helping Ingrid transition into life Down Under. The Aussie pal was clearly in the know, purchasing popular flavours Double Coat and Chewy Caramel. The biscuits are no doubt study supplies now that Freshers' Week has come to a close and classes are in full swing. The pair could be seen taking a selfie on Ingrid's digital camera before continuing to walk through the university. Ingrid looked stylish on the day in a blue cardigan, white trousers and a striped headband by Swedish brand Djerf Avenue. She opted to go make-up free for the outing, letting her natural beauty shine through, and added to her ensemble with classic silver earrings and chunky rings. Ingrid, who is second in line to the throne after her father, arrived in Australia in July. She posed on campus for a series of photos which she uploaded to Instagram. The Royal Household's full statement from Ingrid read: 'I'm looking forward to starting my studies at the University of Sydney. 'It will be exciting to become a student, and I'm looking forward to gaining new perspectives on both European and international politics. 'I'm sure that I will learn a lot.' She marked the joyous occasion with a series of images taken around what appeared to be the University of Sydney campus. While she is certainly adjusting to Australian party life, Ingrid appears to still be getting the hang of Aussie road rules. She was recently spotted making a slight slip-up when she and a female friend tried to hop into a waiting Uber from the wrong side. Evidently used to left-hand drive vehicles, the princess was seen reaching for the door handle on the driver's side. Her decision to move to Australia to continue her studies comes after she embarked on military training at the Engineer Battalion in Brigade Nord last year.

Margaret Pomeranz remembers David Stratton: ‘I feel as though one half of me has gone'
I know I have been reticent about commenting on David Stratton's death (he didn't want to 'pass', he wanted to die – no euphemisms for him!). But apart from wanting to hug my grief to myself, I felt that it was his family who should be considered, not me. And if anyone should have a tribute it is Strats' wife, Susie, who was the most wonderful support to him over these difficult years. I told him he was lucky to have married a younger woman! David was a stoic, he never wallowed in his deteriorating health. He continued to watch a new movie every day and revisit old favourites. He would enthuse about a new Australian film he'd just seen – he never lost that absolute passion for cinema. So much has been written about David's and my partnership over the years that there's not much more to be said, but I have a few recollections that aren't so well known. When we met I was a cinema enthusiast, not a walking encyclopedia of film like David. When he first came into SBS and I tried to talk to him, he brushed me off unceremoniously. I imagine a few people have had that experience with him but over the years he became much more welcoming of people approaching him – especially young film enthusiasts, many of whom he mentored and promoted. He was unstintingly generous in that way. Sign up for the fun stuff with our rundown of must-reads, pop culture and tips for the weekend, every Saturday morning When Peter Barrett, the head of programming at SBS, told me I was to become David's producer, I said I didn't think it was a good idea; he didn't think that much of me. But David seemed to welcome someone, anyone, helping him. So I became the producer of his movie introductions, to Movie of the Week and his beloved Cinema Classics. I had to create new lead-ins to these, and David and I decided to use Nino Rota's music. I had such fun with the introduction to the Classics, with images of Polanski's Knife in the Water, Bergman's The Seventh Seal and from Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin. Of course David had to approve everything, and we formed a good working relationship. Our first film discussion, or vague disagreement, was about the Australian film The Empty Beach, directed by Chris Thomson, based on a novel by Peter Corris. I was dismissive but, as I listened to David's support for the film, I realised that my reaction had been too facile. It was the beginning of Strats' education of my film appreciation. David was renowned for giving people nicknames. He got the order of my maiden name, Jones-Owen, deliberately wrong and I became Moj to him and everyone who worked on the shows from then on. And I remained Moj to the end. I'm glad I'm still Moj to his family – and all our film show family. Sign up to Saved for Later Catch up on the fun stuff with Guardian Australia's culture and lifestyle rundown of pop culture, trends and tips after newsletter promotion I think it's extraordinary that, over all the time that David and I worked together, we never had a falling out. Minor disagreements maybe, and maybe more spirited ones on air, but it was a relationship of deep respect – certainly of me for him, maybe a little bit less of him for me – and of deep friendship. Once David took you into the fold you had someone whose loyalty was unquestioned. And it was reciprocal. During all those years we've had family traumas and setbacks, and we always had each other's backs. I knew that if I was in trouble David would be one of the first people I'd turn to. We went to the ABC because I had his back. And when my husband was in hospital with a life-threatening illness he had mine. So maybe you can understand the loss I feel, of this man with whom I had a conversation at least once every week, whom I loved, who was so fine, such a gentle man, who decided to give me credibility in insisting that I sit beside him in those chairs, week after week, discussing films. I woke up in the middle of the night in the immediate aftermath of his death and, in trying to work out how I felt, I decided that I felt amputated – as though one half of me has gone. There's no more Margaret and David. Just as there is no more David and Susie.
