Katie Price's boyfriend JJ Slater issues relationship 'ultimatum' after split rumours
EXCLUSIVE: Katie Price's boyfriend JJ Slater has reportedly issued an ultimatum to the star, as the couple's relationship is said to be 'on the rocks' amid her financial woes Katie Price has been issued an 'ultimatum' by her boyfriend JJ Slater, a source has revealed to new. The ex-glamour model, 47, admitted last week that she was on the brink of homelessness, as she must move out of her rental property – due to the landlord selling up – and is struggling to find a new home. Our source claimed that between Katie's financial stresses and drama-filled lifestyle, JJ, 33, is putting his foot down and urging her to take her problems more seriously. 'JJ has had enough of all the drama,' they claimed. 'Katie isn't responsible with money and has been struggling with the moving situation, which JJ feels she sometimes takes out on him. He has given Katie an ultimatum, explaining that she needs to start taking accountability for her finances and get her ducks in a row – if they're to have a real chance together.' Tongues had been wagging of late when JJ was absent from Katie's Instagram page for more than a month. Meanwhile, Katie hasn't appeared on his social media since April – and neither of them has spoken publicly about their relationship in weeks. It caused fans to question whether there was trouble in paradise – previously, Katie and JJ have taken numerous romantic getaways, delightedly sharing loved-up snaps together on social media. But seemingly dispelling any notion of a split, Katie shared a snap to Instagram Stories while on a photoshoot last week which revealed JJ sitting in the foreground. Discussing her precarious living situation, the mum-of-five had explained on an episode of her podcast, The Katie Price Show, that she couldn't rent a new property, as she was struggling to find a guarantor. 'It p****s me off,' said Katie. 'Some houses I look at, I can't get a guarantor. Some people don't earn enough to be one for me. One house I do want, the landlord wants six months' rent up front and a guarantor – even though I've got the best reference ever [from her former landlord].' Katie has been renting a £5,000-a-month new build since being legally forced out of her 'Mucky Mansion' property in May last year, following a bankruptcy declaration in March 2024. She had owned the home since 2014 and it was sold last December. It's thought that JJ has been living with her in recent months, but last week it was reported the reality star had moved out and they had gone their separate ways. While our source said this is not the case and the pair are still very much in a relationship, they did claim the pair have issues they need to tackle. 'Katie and JJ are on the rocks,' claimed our source. 'He is half living with her and half not – it's a tricky situation at the moment. He feels like, when they are living together, he becomes a chopping board for her to take stress out on, so that's something that needs to change.' The couple met after JJ rose to prominence during a stint on 2023's Married At First Sight UK. Katie subsequently messaged him on Instagram and they began dating at the start of 2024, going public in February. The pair seemed to progress quickly as a couple and Katie gushed last December that she was keen to marry JJ, saying, 'I'd love to get married again.' If the couple were to end up getting married, it would be Katie's fourth time walking down the aisle, after previous failed unions with Peter Andre, Alex Reid and Kieran Hayler. More recently, she was engaged to Carl Woods, who she split from at the end of 2023 after a turbulent relationship. Katie, who is mum to Harvey, 23, Junior, 20, Princess, 18, Jett, 11, and Bunny, 10, has made no secret of her desire to have more children and even explored IVF with Carl. Appearing to confirm that it's a goal she'd like to achieve with JJ, who doesn't have any children, Katie said in November, 'I'm at that stage and I do want more kids. And I don't want to be told by a doctor or something that I can't have more. I know I'm not done. If I could have two more kids, I would.' Whether those hopes will come to fruition with JJ remains to be seen. Our source claimed the love is certainly there – things just need to change between them. 'JJ does love Katie and he knows they can be really happy,' said the source. 'It's just a case of her not getting so involved in drama all of the time and taking things more seriously. That's all JJ wants.'

The Cotswolds is a Potemkin England
Have you heard the one where the vice president of the United States and a lesbian former talk show host walk into a farm shop in Gloucestershire? No, it's not the set-up to a joke – it's just another Tuesday in the Cotswolds in 2025. Ellen DeGeneres has confirmed that she's staying put in the Cotswolds, where she's been holed-up since the 2024 US presidential election. JD Vance – now vice president under Donald Trump – is also planning on spending part of the summer there too. Two Americans, worlds apart, wind up in the same tiny sliver of England. One wants to grow heritage carrots. The other wants to dismantle the administrative state. Both think they've found something pure in the Cotswolds. They're just the most high-profile arrivals. The landscape is changing fast – not with tweedy old money, but with something slicker, richer, and often flown in by private jet from Jackson Hole or Montecito. US applications for UK citizenship hit a record 6,100 last year – up 26 per cent, with a noticeable spike around Trump's re-election. Not all of them are settling in the Cotswolds, but the symbolism is hard to miss. I live a few miles from all this, though not quite in it. My Wiltshire town sits at the bottom edge of the Cotswolds – included in old guidebooks, left out by the tourist board. Not an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, just a place of roundabouts, new-build estates and modest aspiration. The fantasy starts a few miles up the road – but you can feel the changes even here. Not long ago, the region was the playground of the Chipping Norton set – tabloid editors, minor royals, and David Cameron-era politicians, knocking back magnums of rosé behind the Big Green Egg. Today, that world looks parochial beside the star power and deeper pockets of the new arrivals. 'We got here the day before the election,' Ellen (net worth £300 million) told a thrilled audience at the Everyman Theatre in Cheltenham last week. 'And we woke up to all these texts with crying emojis. I was like, 'He got in.' And we're like, 'We're staying here.'' She's far from the only one. The area has become a sanctuary for the globally famous and fabulously rich – drawn not just by the scenery, but by the curated serenity on offer. Nowhere captures that better than Soho Farmhouse: less country club than lifestyle hallucination. Alongside Daylesford Organic and Estelle Manor, it forms a triangle of soft-focus luxury that now draws in everyone from Ryan Reynolds to Meghan Markle. This weekend, Eve Jobs's £5 million wedding took place there, attended by Kamala Harris, Olympic showjumper Jessica Springsteen, as well as Sofia Abramovich, daughter of former Chelsea owner Roman. Ellen, like a few celebrity Cotswolds transplants before her, treats the countryside as an Instagram backdrop – part Marie Antoinette fantasy, part photo op. Her foray into rural life mirrors that of Jeremy Clarkson's gentleman-farmer routine. Meanwhile, the real countryside is being hollowed out. More than 6,000 agricultural businesses shut down in the past year alone, many facing pressure from Rachel Reeves's planned inheritance tax reforms. Family farms – already battling drought, debt, and wafer-thin margins – now face the prospect of selling off land just to survive. Reflecting on her own foray into farming, DeGeneres told an audience in Cheltenham: 'We built a fence – and it was so ugly it ruined everything. Then I had to pay to take the fence down. The sheep just walk and go to the bathroom. That's all they do. I had to keep cleaning it up because our dog kept trying to get in it.' Mistakes like this are easily corrected. Ellen and her wife, Portia de Rossi, have already put their first Cotswolds home – Kitesbridge Farm, bought for £20 million in 2024 – back on the market for £30 million. Not because they're leaving, but because they've found something grander just up the lane. Behind the limestone façades lies a very different Cotswolds. Coventry University's 2023 Hidden Hardship project – based on diaries and interviews with residents of the North Cotswolds – found that experiences of deprivation were often concealed. Life can be a daily struggle: limited transport, insecure work, unaffordable housing – not crisis, but slow attrition. Stigma was a recurring theme. 'It's embarrassing,' said one participant. 'In the area that we live in…to say, 'I'm really struggling here.' You feel judged.' So is this what brings the vice president to Stow-on-the-Wold? The elegist of rustbelt decline, in search of England's own lost rural soul? Perhaps. But the real clue came last year, when on the campaign trail he declared that, 'London isn't English anymore.' Maybe the former tech bro is seeking the real England – rooted, white, orderly – and he thinks he's found it here. But the countryside he's holidaying in is no more secure than the one he left behind. England's rural communities, like America's, are hurting – not just from the pressures of global capital, but from the slow attrition of services, jobs, and meaning. As This Country creator Daisy May Cooper put it, reflecting on her Cotswolds upbringing: 'It's hell if you've got no money.' The Cotswolds still looks like England – hedgerows, pubs selling Sunday roasts – but what it offers now is something different. This is England as lifestyle product. A rural fantasy for the fundamentally dislocated – not from the land, but from the lives most people actually live. For the wealthy American visitor what you find here isn't Englishness. It's familiarity. I grew up in partially in California – not the redwoods, but in one of those lush southern California canyons, all eucalyptus, bougainvillea and discreet driveways. The kind of place where the private security approach if you go on a walk but forget to take the dog. Now, when I'm feeling nostalgic, I just drive a few miles north – and I've never felt more at home. The same green tea lattes. The same facile wellness speak. The same small-batch kimchi, turmeric kefir, locally sourced honey, and artisanal nduja nobody asked for. For some, it's a retreat from American dysfunction – a place that feels slower, safer, somehow more 'real.' For others, it's a postcard from a vanished past: tradition, order, a countryside untouched by modernity. These days, the Cotswolds offers a fantasy of England – perfected by borrowing from a certain vision of California. A Potemkin England, not alien exactly, but sealed off from reality. Not Oxfordshire so much as Napa with pubs.

Sabrina Carpenter's on-sale luxury sleep mask is hailed as the ‘best eye-mask on the market'
Sabrina Carpenter has just shared her go-to sleep mask, and it's been labelled as the 'best eye-mask on the market' by shoppers If you've been struggling with sleep or just enjoy treating yourself to luxury nighttime goodies, Sabrina Carpenter just shared her go-to sleep mask, and it's currently on sale. In an Instagram post to her followers, Sabrina Carpenter shared a photo of herself sitting on her bed. A few eagle-eyed fans spotted some of her current bedtime products on her nightstand. Spotted was the LYMA laser, a clinical-grade cold laser designed to make the skin look younger and restore elasticity, priced at a hefty £1,999. And then what caught our attention was Drowsy's Sleep Mask in the Dusty Gold shade. Normally priced at £69, this luxe sleep mask is currently £58.65. Of course, this is definitely on the pricier side for an eyemask; however, shoppers have labelled it as"the best on the market." This silk sleep mask blocks 100% of light, making it ideal for travel and summertime. Additionally, the silky soft, thick padding cushions the eyes and muffles any noise, perfect if you've been having trouble sleeping with the window open in this hot weather. Not to mention, the silky material protects hair from unwanted frizz and damage, while also preventing ageing. I mean, what more could you want out of your sleep mask? Sabrina's not the only fan of this mask, with it boasting thousands of positive reviews. One shopper wrote: "I rave about this product daily. The best eye-mask on the market. The price is on the more expensive side but worth every penny. The satin material helps the mask stay cool all day/night. It helps that they're so soft too. They're so good at blocking light, super effective. I've used them for when I've had migraines, hayfever/itchy eyes (stops the irritation), and for general good sleep." While a second added: "I cannot sleep with any degree of light in the bedroom and have used various masks over the years. This mask, although really expensive, must be regarded as a necessary investment. This is the best mask that I've ever used. " Not everyone agreed, however, with a few noting its not worth its expensive price tag. One reviewer said: "As a sleep mask it's comfortable, does the job well and my sleep is a delight with it. One star off for the extravagant price of it. "
