Kerry Katona shows true colours over Katie Price friendship after cancelled tour

OK! Magazine columnist Kerry Katona appears to have thrown shade at her long-term friend Katie Price after their joint upcoming tour was cancelled as she says she's finally 'back on track' Kerry Katona has shared her thoughts on some of the latest hot topics in showbiz, including Chris Martin's shock split with Dakota Johnson after eight years, Jessie J's breast cancer diagnosis, Jamie Laing becoming a first-time-dad, and Kerry herself feeling 'back on track' after her joint tour with long-term friend Katie Price was recently cancelled. Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson's shock split I was sad to read about Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson's split, I thought they made a really nice couple and seemed very happy. I hope they're both doing OK. I really like Chris and his ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow. ‌ I think they're such a great family and it's amazing how they have managed to co-parent their kids and stay friends. I take my hat off to anyone who can do that, I wish I could have. ‌ I always wish Brian and I could have stayed friends. Molly went to watch him at a festival last week and I would have loved to have gone with her and been able to enjoy it as mates. His fiance is lovely and they've got a gorgeous little one. It would be great to have a better relationship. Love to Jessie J I'm sending all of my love and prayers to Jessie J after her shock breast cancer diagnosis, it's just awful. I want to give her all of the strength in the world, I can't imagine what she's going through. I know she's got a little one too, so my heart is going out to all the family. My health anxiety has always been bad and, as I get older, hearing about people being diagnosed makes me so nervous. I have a lump on my armpit which is just swollen lymph nodes, but I've got to keep an eye on it anyway, which scares me. I recently found out my biological family history, because I never knew my dad or what health issues were on his side of the family, and my grandmother had breast cancer. Thankfully, I've been checked and i'm OK, but it's scary. A decade of love Love Island is back and I cannot wait to get stuck in - it's my guilty pleasure! We've got Love Island and then my series of Celebs Go Dating, so it's a good summer for TV! I've been so busy that I haven't seen much about the new islanders, but i'm sure they will be great. The show is celebrating ten years on TV and I really hope they do something to honour Caroline Flack - the show was her baby and she loved it. I was disappointed to see that she didn't get a tribute in the Decade Of Love special they did earlier this month, I think that's wrong. ‌ Jamie's baby joy I'm so happy for Made In Chelsea couple Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo, who have announced they're having a baby. They're a really great couple and I can't wait to see them as parents. It's such a beautiful thing to become parents for the first time and I'm wishing them all the best. I know they've been hosting Radio 1 together recently, which I think is great, but unfortunately I'm loyal to Heart FM - Amanda Holden cracks me up on the breakfast show! Back on track I'm feeling so much better this week after being run-down the last while. It's great to finally feel like myself again. I went to Oxford Natural Clinic last week to help me feel revitalised, and they topped up my Botox too, so I'm feeling glam again. Aside from filming Celebs Go Dating, which we are almost finished with, I've just been spending time with the family. Lilly has been home this week from Ireland and Molly's also just arrived, so I'm happy to have my babies back. I always love having the kids at home - it's the best feeling in the world.

Sophie Habboo hits back after cruel backlash and nepotism accusations over her new Radio 1 job with Jamie Laing

Some listeners had threatened to switch off as they slammed the latest hiring by bosses Mic Drop Sophie Habboo hits back after cruel backlash and nepotism accusations over her new Radio 1 job with Jamie Laing SOPHIE Habboo has hit back at cruel backlash and nepotism accusations over her new BBC Radio 1 job with Jamie Laing. Station fans had previously threatened to switch off as they slammed the decision to put Made In Chelsea star Sophie, 30, on the airwaves as "gross". Advertisement 6 Sophie Habboo has hit back at cruel backlash and nepotism accusations over her new BBC Radio 1 job with Jamie Laing Credit: Instagram/@sophiehabboo 6 Fans had slammed the decision to put Made In Chelsea star Sophie on the airwaves Credit: The Mega Agency It came as former Strictly Come Dancing star Vick Hope, 35, left her presenting duties on the Going Home show to go on maternity leave. Sharing an expert from an i article to Instagram, Sophie wrote on her Stories today: "Thank you @carsonsarah @theipaper. "I've been reflecting on my first week of Radio 1 and it's been such a surreal experience to connect with the nation. I love it!!!" Chief Culture Writer Sarah Carson had praised Sophie in her opinion piece, claiming - while her hiring may not be "fair - the reality star still "deserved" her place. Advertisement She wrote: "The primary function of Radio 1 in the afternoons is providing a bit of distraction, energy, and silliness as people leave work or school. "It's not supposed to be challenging, or specialist - it's low-stakes, unwind, chatty stuff that needs someone sparky on the mic between the pre-made playlists. "Habboo is likeable, a sharp wit, withering, quick to laugh, and sweet. She's smart, comfortable being open about her relationship, self-effacing, and happy to indulge a bit of nonsense (she needs to be, being married to Laing). "She feels like a friend - the kind who gives you tough love while giving your arm a gentle squeeze - and she's got charisma. That counts for a lot more than skill and experience in this landscape." Advertisement Her comments were a far cry from some listeners, who had slammed the latest hiring by bosses. On the official social media account of BBC Radio 1, fans flocked to the comments section as they claimed the station has "fallen" in standards. Vick Hope finally reveals pregnancy - and date she's going on maternity leave from BBC Radio One One disgruntled listener fumed: "How far we've fallen from Vick and Jordan…" A second exclaimed: "There is something really gross, about two such privileged and independently wealthy (the Laings)given access to prime time national radio shows over people who have trained and studied for years in media." Advertisement "Please get some good DJs back in the drive time slot. It's getting embarrassing," stated a third user. While someone else raged: "Wealthy Reality stars just being handed roles for nothing now. They're sooo unrelatable." And a fifth added: "Im a big radio 1 fan but shouldve been jerry .....jamie and sophie is a bad move be a switch off for me sorry." Many longtime fans of the station directly blamed bosses for a decline as they hired "influencers". Advertisement They slammed the decision not to look for upcoming talent or give the role to an existing cover presenter who has trained for the job "for years". Another fan noted: "Where is the dislike button? "There are so many hard working and capable presenters covering gigs on R1 atm, how undermining that they weren't given the chance to show the listeners what they're capable of!!" Someone else agreed" "Really glad I'm not the only one who was disappointed by this update. Advertisement "It really doesn't sit right with me when there's people trying so hard to get a break. It's a no from me I'm afraid." Please get some good DJs back in the drive time slot. It's getting embarrassing Radio 1 fan While another added: "I think I'll be finding a different radio station to listen to for my 'going home' slot in the week now. "Something just doesn't sit right with me, that his wife has got the job… when there must be some amazing local talent & those that have worked really hard in the industry that will have been overlooked for celebrity privilege…" One more fan stated: "Radio 1 turning into a constant influencer podcast.. what happened to actually knowing music to being a radio DJ! Many years of listening, only holding on for Greg! Time to switch!"

French Open semi-finals: Irate Sabalenka loses lead over Swiatek in first set - radio & text

Update: Date: 14:55 BST Title: Swiatek breaks to level first set Content: Sabalenka 4-4 Swiatek* But it is Iga Swiatek who takes the fifth point for another look at a break... And would you believe it, Aryna Sabalenka double-faults! From 4-1 down, Swiatek is back level in the first set. What a momentum swing. Update: Date: 14:54 BST Title: 'Sabalenka is getting a little bit frustrated with her serve' Content: *Sabalenka 4-3 Swiatek Andrea PetkovicFormer world number nine on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra and BBC Sounds Aryna Sabalenka is getting a little bit frustrated with her serve here. She is straining and I'm not sure whether she has seen that Iga Swiatek has gone back behind the baseline. She tends to lose patience when her opponent is able to extend the rallies over and over again, we saw that in the Indian Wells final. Update: Date: 14:53 BST Title: Post Content: *Sabalenka 4-3 Swiatek Now it's Aryna Sabalenka shouting at her team. The world number one, despite retaining a position of authority in this first set, is beginning to feel the heat under the roof on Court Philippe Chatrier. After a double fault is followed by a miss, Sabalenka lets out a huge roar as she gets level and tries to psych herself up for anther couple of points. Update: Date: 14:51 BST Title: 'Swiatek has adjusted to the heaviness of these shots' Content: *Sabalenka 4-3 Swiatek Andrea PetkovicFormer world number nine on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra and BBC Sounds You can just tell that Iga Swiatek has adjusted to the heaviness of these shots from Aryna Sabalenka. She is reacting a lot better and her eyes are sending the reactions to her brain quicker. Update: Date: 14:50 BST Title: Swiatek holds serve Content: *Sabalenka 4-3 Swiatek That could be huge for Iga Swiatek. A first hold brings the defending champion within one game of Aryna Sabalenka for the first time. It's game on! Update: Date: 14:49 BST Title: 'Swiatek has just glanced up to her box quizzically' Content: Sabalenka 4-2 Swiatek* Andrea PetkovicFormer world number nine on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra and BBC Sounds That's not an easy situation for Aryna Sabalenka at all. She thought she was up 5-1 and we could see the tension leaving her body for a second. Iga Swiatek has just glanced up to her box quizzically, asking what to do with her serve because she hasn't held serve as yet. I'm not sure whether she got any tactical advice. Update: Date: 14:49 BST Title: Post Content: Sabalenka 4-2 Swiatek* A run of unforced errors from Aryna Sabalenka, who makes a really poor miss at the net, gives Iga Swiatek three chances to complete her first hold of serve. Sabalenka closes to within a point with a backhand into the corner. How Swiatek could do with this next point... Update: Date: 14:47 BST Title: Post Content: Jonathan JurejkoBBC Sport senior tennis reporter at Roland Garros It's disappointing to see Court Philippe Chatrier not completely full for a match of this magnitude between the two biggest stars in the women's game. There are gaps in the posh seats closest to the action, as well as empty sections in the top part of the lower bowl. Tickets at Roland Garros have increased slightly this year, with the main show-court costing either €330 (£280) or €445 (£375) for today's action. Perhaps those lucky enough to afford them are saving their energy for French hope Lois Boisson later... Update: Date: 14:46 BST Title: Swiatek hits back again Content: Sabalenka 4-2 Swiatek* Iga Swiatek strikes back... again! The defending champion may have not managed to hold serve yet, but she is at least getting stuck in to Aryna Sabalenka's now. There is still a lot of work to do but, crucially, it means she is not out of this first set. Update: Date: 14:44 BST Title: Break point Swiatek Content: *Sabalenka 4-1 Swiatek Iga Swiatek dials up the pressure by reaching break point, which Aryna Sabalenka swiftly dismisses with a powerful first serve. Swiatek then fires back with a blistering backhand return to prevent Sabalenka escaping to a 5-1 lead, before forcing a second break point. Update: Date: 14:41 BST Title: Deuce on Sabalenka serve Content: *Sabalenka 4-1 Swiatek Iga Swiatek is having a stern word with herself between points as she desperately searches for some rhythm out there. Aryna Sabalenka thinks she has wrapped up a hold with a brutal ace at 40-30 but a late let call by the chair umpire means her joy is short-lived. Swiatek capitalises, taking a free swing at the end of a game she thought she had already lost to reach deuce. Update: Date: 14:41 BST Title: 'Swiatek has adjusted her return stance' Content: *Sabalenka 4-1 Swiatek Andrea PetkovicFormer world number nine on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra and BBC Sounds Interestingly enough, Iga Swiatek has adjusted her return stance. She is now standing a few feet further back behind the baseline, allowing herself more time to react to Aryna Sabalenka's serve. It is the same thing she did against Elena Rybakina when she was down 6-1 2-0 - and we all know how that ended. Update: Date: 14:36 BST Title: Sabalenka restores double break lead Content: *Sabalenka 4-1 Swiatek Frustration for Iga Swiatek, but relief for Aryna Sabalenka just as it had begun to look as though her opponent had stolen the momentum - or at least part of it. Swiatek nets on the second break point to put Sabalenka back in absolute control. Update: Date: 14:35 BST Title: 'Glimpses of a strategy from Swiatek' Content: Sabalenka 3-1 Swiatek* Andrea PetkovicFormer world number nine on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra and BBC Sounds We are catching glimpses of a strategy here from Iga Swiatek. She is using her backhand inside-out into Aryna Sabalenka's forehand. Sabalenka's forehand is a huge weapon, but in Madrid and Rome it was a little bit awry and shaky at times. Swiatek has not only arrived on the board, she has also arrived in this match. Update: Date: 14:35 BST Title: Break points Sabalenka Content: Sabalenka 3-1 Swiatek* Perhaps I spoke too soon... Iga Swiatek may have gained a foothold on Aryna Sabalenka's serve, but she continues to struggle to handle pressure in her own games. A double fault gifts Sabalenka three break points for a 4-1 lead. Update: Date: 14:33 BST Title: How much can stars glean from practice sessions? Content: Jonathan JurejkoBBC Sport senior tennis reporter at Roland Garros Intense rivalries are what make sport tick - we all know that. Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka have created the pre-eminent duel of this WTA era, having dominated the tour since Ashleigh Barty retired three years ago. Getting a closer look at your main rival in practice sessions has become an increasing trend and it's interesting this pair have been sussing each other out as recently as a fortnight ago here. Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka practised on Court Simonne Mathieu before the tournament began So what can we read into that? "When you play with rivals, you try a few things out that you wouldn't in a match - just to see how they react," says former world number nine Andrea Petkovic, who is covering the semi-final for BBC Radio 5 Live. "Both of them will have gained some new knowledge in those practices. "But Roger Federer never really cared in practice and then 'whoopsie' turned it on in a match. So there has to be some caution with what happens." Update: Date: 14:32 BST Title: 'Swiatek should try to stay in rallies longer' Content: Sabalenka 3-1 Swiatek* Andrea PetkovicFormer world number nine on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra and BBC Sounds I do think Iga Swiatek is rushing a bit here. She should try to stay in the rallies longer. It would help her to take some pace out of these shots. You can just see some nerves creeping in. We have even seen her opt for a backhand on a ball that was landing on her forehand side. Update: Date: 14:32 BST Title: Swiatek gets one break back Content: Sabalenka 3-1 Swiatek* Yep, it feels as though Iga Swiatek has arrived now. An assured cross-court backhand hauls Aryna Sabalenka back from game point, and another sets up a second break point. This is the competitive match all inside Court Philippe Chatrier anticipated! After a return to deuce, Swiatek continues to frustrate Sabalenka by reaching a third break point and catches the line to get up and running. Update: Date: 14:27 BST Title: Sabalenka saves break point Content: *Sabalenka 3-0 Swiatek Another impressive winner from Iga Swiatek, hammering a forehand down the line to move level before arriving at a first break point. She's unable to take her first opportunity, but this is much more promising from the former world number one. Update: Date: 14:25 BST Title: Post Content: Jonathan JurejkoBBC Sport senior tennis reporter at Roland Garros Blimey. Sabalenka means business. The pace of her returns means time is being taken away from Swiatek. And she does not like being hurried. Sabalenka is not just simply a ball-basher these days, though. She is illustrating that by coming forward and showing some touch.
