Katie Price 'pulls out' of 38-date tell-all tour with Kerry Katona
Katie Price has reportedly been forced to pull out of her much-anticipated 'tell-all' tour with friend Kerry Katona. The two noughties icons, who rose to fame as a glamour model and member of girlband Atomic Kitten respectively, met and forged a friendship when they pivoted to reality TV. Both starred on the 2004 series of I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, which Kerry won while Katie was introduced to her former husband – and father of two of her children – Peter Andre through it. However, 47-year-old Katie has now been forced to cancel her participation for all 38 proposed dates of the tour with Kerry, 44, which was due to run throughout September and October. An Evening With Katie Price & Kerry Katona was set to visit venues including Redditch Palace Theatre, Stockport Plaza, Grimsby Auditorium, Portsmouth New Theatre Royal and Watford Palace Theatre. 'Katie is gutted and tried everything she could to make it work but she has had to step away from the tour because she has childcare commitments and also a very busy schedule,' a source told The Sun. 'She hates letting her fans down and hopes to be able to do something similar in the future.' The insider said that it was 'unclear' at the moment whether Kerry would press on it with it as a solo endeavour or if the whole tour would be scrapped. 'There is no bad blood between Kerry and Katie, they're still best of mates, but it's a huge blow to their fans,' they added. A representative for Katie also confirmed to the publication that she had pulled out, citing 'childcare commitments that come first'. The tour was due to kick off on Thursday September 11 in Ellesmere Port before concluding in Hull on Wednesday October 22. It had promised to see Katie and Kerry share 'stories of their friendship, marriage and divorce, bankruptcy, I'm A Celebrity, the importance of family, their constant press attention and turning their lives around'. The show – marketed as 'strictly 16+ only' due to adult content – also promoted 'some song and dance and an opportunity for audience questions' on one venue's website. Meet and Greet VIP tickets were an option for the tour as well. Kerry and Katie previously co-starred on stage together last year when they played the wicked step-sisters in the pantomime Cinderella at the Northwich Memorial Court in Cheshire. Katie shared on her podcast at the time how Kerry helped get her cast in the show, which has reportedly broken theatre records in ticket sales. 'So Kerry got me the gig because she has been working with them for six years,' she explained. 'And she was like 'Why don't you come and do this panto', and she said it was for the ugly sisters and I said, 'Oh are we ugly then?' and she said we can still be really pretty.' Despite ups and downs in their friendship over the years, Katie and Kerry have become very close with the two said to be relying on each other quite a lot for emotional support in recent times. Speaking to The Mirror, a source claimed: 'Katie and Kerry are growing closer over their shared experiences of tough times – they've been a shoulder for each other to cry on. 'Katie didn't have the best Mother's Day; she was working and didn't see her kids, which was tough for her.' Mum-of-five Katie was busy with another panto, Pinocchio, meaning that she spent Mother's Day without her children – 23-year-old Harvey, 19-year-old Junior, 17-year-old Princess, 11-year-old Jett, and 10-year-old Bunny. More Trending Pinocchio, her adults-only pantomime, in which she appeared opposite 90s comedian Bobby Davro, saw one venue, Chesham's Elgiva Theatre, slashed prices in a bid to sell more seats last month. The theatre reportedly decided to offer buyers a second ticket for half price once they'd bought their own ticket, after huge blocks of seats were still available for both the matinee and evening performances, with just a week to go.

Katie Price makes shock confession about Peter Andre split 16 years on
Katie Price has revealed that she hasn't talked to Peter Andre since their split 16 years ago. The former glamour model, 45, and the Mysterious Girl singer, 52, famously hit it off in the I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! jungle in 2004, and married a year later before welcoming kids Junior, 19, and Princess, 17. Now in a candid interview on Paul Brunson's podcast We Need to Talk, Katie has reflected on the marriage and their shock split. When asked to clear up the rumours about who cheated on who in her relationship with Pete, Katie responded: 'We broke up because he thought I was having an affair with my dressage rider, and I've never slept with him. 'I just kept my horse there, and I was happy keeping my horse there, and he was married. 'But when me and Pete split, because he used to keep saying, 'That's it. I've had enough. I've had enough.' 'It got to a point where I went, 'Well, divorce me'. I remember the day, because then I flew to the Maldives with the kids. 'That day, I'm at the airport, it's all on Sky News, it wasn't mutual at all. And then I redone a statement saying I don't want to split with Pete, it's Pete that's splitting with me. 'Until this day, me and Pete have never sat down and spoken about it.' Shocked at the news Katie and Pete haven't spoken since this moment, even through years of co-parenting, Paul asked how they managed the kids. 'It was all through lawyers. I've never sat down with him, we probably would've sorted it out, but we were kept apart,' she said. When asked whether, if given the opportunity, Katie would sit down with Pete on Paul's podcast, she responded: 'Yeah, I would.' Pete is now married to Emily MacDonagh, and the pair share kids Amelia, 11, Theo, nine, and Arabella, 13 months. Meanwhile, Katie has also moved on, having re-married twice to Alex Reid from 2013 to 2021, and Kieran Hayler from 2010 to 2012. She is now with Married at First Sight star JJ Slater, who she referred to in the podcast episode as the 'kindest, most genuine, easygoing, chilled person'. However, when faced with Paul's two signs of a healthy relationship – that life is better when you are with them and you feel free – she admitted to feeling neither with JJ.

No,' she said, adding: 'It's not a reflection on him, maybe that's what I need to change for myself.' More Trending Elsewhere, Katie opened up about her horrific experiences at the hands of men over the years, which date back to when she was raped at the age of seven. Therapy has helped, Katie reflected. 'I am free and I am light. I don't feel heaviness, I can sleep at night. Because I started communicating and things get better,' she said. 'It's like a flower, everything opens, it's like a different world. The world is like an oyster and I'm in control of my destiny now.' 2004 Katie and Peter meet on I'm a Celebrity Katie entered the jungle at the height of her fame, and Pete hoped to relaunch himself after his Mysterious Girl success in the 1990s. The pair fell in love on screen. 2005 Katie and Peter marry Katie walked down the aisle in an enormous pink princess dress after arriving in a Cinderella-style carriage as couple tied the knot at Highclere Castle. 2006 Katie and Peter welcome junior Katie and Pete welcomed Junior Savva Andreas Andre, their first child together. Reflecting on the name choice in 2023 on her podcast, Katie said: 'Junior is quite an American name and my granddad's brother was called Junior. But the reason I named him Junior was because he was a mini Pete. 'I didn't want to name Junior Savvas because that is what Pete's dad is called and I am not Greek, so I made it clear that I didn't want to follow the Greek tradition. 'There was lots of arguments about it but anyway we came up with Junior.' 2007 Katie and Peter welcome princess Katie later said they chose the first part of her name because she was 'our princess'. 'Katie always loved the name Princess but everyone thought it was a bit over the top,'Peter told OK! Magazine in 2007. 'I loved it too but I wanted to name her after both our mums. Then I just woke up one morning and thought, 'I know! We'll just put them together! If people don't like it, that's up to them.'' So they called their daughter Princess Tiaamii Crystal Esther Andre. 2009 Katie and Pete announce shock split The pair both applied for a divorce on the grounds of unreasonable behaviour, as per the BBC. Neither gave a reason for the split at the time. The model has twice called the singer 'the love of her life' and said she never wanted them to break up. Got a story?

Every Amanda Holden celebrity spat victory as feud Queen issues fresh dig
Heart FM radio host Amanda reignited her long-standing clash with Holly Willoughby last week when she suggested the former This Morning star wasn't a "proper presenter" - but she's not the only celebrity she's got into a fight with Amanda Holden is at it again. Amanda, 54, took a sly dig at former This Morning host Holly Willoughby, 44, live on air while presenting her Heart FM radio show. Co-host Jamie Theakston teased Amanda about the possibility of her new Netflix dating series Cheat: Unfinished Business being renewed for a new series. Amanda said she "didn't know for sure". Jamie then cheekily remarked: "What are they suggesting, they getting Holly Willoughby?" Amanda replied "No, they want a proper presenter." Ouch. "You're going to be in trouble,' scolded Jamie - but the damage was done. Not that Amanda will likely be cringing. It's not the first time she's made a swipe at Holly, who stepped down from This Morning in 2023. She's also got a bit of history with Holly's co-host Phillip Schofield … and a whole load of other celebrities too. Here we look at Amanda's knack at getting into ugly spats - and who won… Holly Willoughby Amanda and Holly have reportedly been at loggerheads for quite some time, starting from 2014 when Amanda joined the This Morning team after Holly went on maternity leave. After the Phillip Schofield scandal when Holly's co-host was suddenly dropped from the show in 2023, Amanda was accused of throwing shade at Holly in an Instagram video. Returning to her presenting duties after Phillip's exit, Holly started her broadcast in a heartfelt manner, saying: "Right, deep breath. Firstly, are you OK? I hope so." Not long after, Amanda used her social media to flaunt a chic white jumpsuit in a video. She began: "Hello, it is Tuesday. Are you OK?". With a grin, she added: "I'm wearing this gorgeous white jumpsuit. It's been in my wardrobe for ages and I've been dying to wear it because the weather's got better and I can." But Amanda later said reports of a feud between her and Holly were 'utter rubbish'. But in 2022, Amanda threw another punch after Holly and Phil received a huge backlash over claims they 'queue jumped' to see the Queen lying in state. In a clip she shared on her Instagram account she told how David Beckham had waited his turn like everyone else, saying 'Good on him' before letting out a laugh and pulling a playful face. WINNER: AMANDA Phillip Schofield Amanda and Phillip once got on well, hosting awards together and co-hosting This Morning while Holly was on maternity leave in 2014. But that seemed to sour in 2018, when Amanda was tipped to replace Holly on This Morning while she temporarily took over from Ant McPartlin on I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Phillip allegedly played a hand in hiring The Saturdays' Rochelle Humes instead - reportedly leaving Amanda furious. Phillip said the claims were 'hurtful and wildly untrue'. But several months on in 2019, Amanda made her feelings clear when she took a swipe at Phil during a radio quiz on Heart Breakfast. When asked what she wouldn't want to discover in her house, she jested: "Spiders, flies and Phillip Schofield." She added that she had once invited Phil for a coffee to discuss matters in 2019 but never received a reply. Phillip shot back, saying in an interview that Amanda 'has a faulty edit button and she forgets she's on the telly, which is enormously endearing and funny, but occasionally quite scary." Later, she said she had reached out to Phillip for a heart-to-heart over coffee, but claimed he didn't respond. She also posted a bicep curl emoji on Instagram after Schofield stepped down from This Morning, which was interpreted by many as a celebratory gesture. WINNER: AMANDA Katie Price Katie Price sparked her own beef with Amanda after the glamour model cheekily displayed a photoshopped picture of her face on top of Amanda's among the Britain's Got Talent judging line-up. Katie, 45, was on stage at her live podcast show last May when she pulled the stunt and she even admitted: " Amanda won't like that, will she?" A few months later, she took another swipe at the radio host when she snub's Amanda's racy outfit choices she has become famous for. During her appearance on Lewis Raymond's podcast Life Reclaimed, she quickly adjusted her boobs, prompting Lewis to joke: 'Oh she's getting the out'. Katie replied: 'I'm not… I've got nipple covers on, I'm not doing an Amanda Holden because I don't like that look.' This time, though, Amanda has maintained a dignified silence and has so far refused to hit back. This time, ignoring the provocation and resisting the temptation to answer the former glamour model back seems to have been the best strategy. WINNER: AMANDA And the one she couldn't Osbourne Amanda's feud with Sharon kicked off last April when she branded her 'bitter and pathetic' for the way she talked about X Factor boss Simon Cowell during her stint on Celebrity Big Brother. 'I hated seeing certain people in a reality show dissing Simon – he's the person who's given them all the chances, given them a lot of money and a lifestyle they probably wouldn't have had,' Amanda raged in an interview. She added: 'It's bitter and pathetic. It was like Cinderella with her two sisters in the background - just stabby, stabby, stabby.' Sharon hit back, telling the radio host in an acid-tongued post on X: 'The bottom line, Amanda, is, that you'll never be in my league, and you've picked on the wrong ugly stepsister.' She went on: 'The truth is, you don't know me, Amanda. You know nothing about my history in the music industry, my achievements, the artists I have worked with, the shows that I've produced, and my global celebrity.' 'Unlike you, the brand of Sharon Osbourne is known worldwide.' Sharon went on to flaunt her wealth and luxurious lifestyle as she quipped: 'Our worlds are totally different. I have been blessed with an amazing lifestyle throughout my entire life. 'Before you were born, I was living in a mansion in Beverly Hills and continue to do so today and continue to have my country estate in England as well. But there is something you should know. I never discuss money, lifestyle or positions of power. I find it to be classless and crude.' Perhaps sensing she had met her match, Amanda replied, rather sheepishly, through her spokesperson: 'Amanda is aware of Sharon's incredible career but, just like her, Amanda will always defend those close to her,' she said.

Stacey Solomon is 'regretting tell-all TV show with husband Joe Swash'
Stacey Solomon is reportedly having second thoughts over her BBC rreality TV show with husband Joe Swash. Stacey & Joe aims to lift the curtains of the famous couple's life at their £1,200,000 mansion in Essex, Pickle Cottage, as they juggle parenting with their busy careers. It also stars their youngest children, Rex, five, Rose, three, and Belle, two, Stacey's first son with ex-boyfriend Dean Cox, Zach, 17, and her son Leighton, 12, with ex-fiancé Aaron Barnham. However, it has been claimed the Loose Women star, 35, is regretting being candid in The Kardashians-style tell-all show over the presentation of her and Joe's personalities. A source told The Sun: 'Stacey is regretting signing up to do the show. She's not used to the backlash they are getting as everything she touches normally turns to gold.' The inside claimed Stacey was struggling with negative comments concerning arguments arising from Joe's time mangement issues and her love of organisation. Joe, 42, was previously the subject of Stacey & Joe viewers' ire after he returned home five hours late after a fishing trip, forcing her to simultaneously attend to an important business meeting and crying children. They added: 'She feels like she is coming across as bossy. He can't manage anything without her, so she is forced to be the 'grown up'. It's caused friction.' Metro has contacted Stacey and Joe's reps for comment. In Stacey & Joe, the couple are filmed attending a therapy session with counsellor Natalie Corbett during which they have a tense exchange about communication in their marriage. In the scenes, former I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! star Joe tells his wife: 'All I am doing is trying to dedicate myself to my family and do everything I possibly can, every minute of the day. 'Then to sit here and listen to the fact that I am a huge problem — all I am hearing is that I am a huge problem in Stacey's perfect life.' Stacey then replies: 'I would say this is our biggest issue in our whole relationship. 'I cannot say anything without you taking it so personally as an attack on you as a whole person.' After the session, the pair raised their voices in a row outside the clinic with Stacey being pulled into a hug by a colleague as she buried her head in their shoulder. Joe previously explained that it was 'important' for Stacey & Joe viewers to have an authentic portray of their relationship – warts and all. He told Closer: 'So many people represent their lives as being so perfect on Instagram. It's our responsibility to show the real – the highs and the lows. It's not all a bed of roses. Sometimes we argue.' More Trending Stacey also admitted they weren't the 'perfect couple.' She told OK!: 'What you see is what you get. What we've learnt about each other is that we're not a perfect couple. We've never said we're a perfect couple, but you get to watch yourself back, which is something that doesn't happen often.' Stacey and Joe first met in 2010 when she won I'm A Celebrity, while he presented the spin-off show. They started dating in 2016 and married at their home in 2022.

The Voice star 'quits ITV series' after just one season
LeAnn Rimes has 'quit' The Voice UK after appearing as a coach for just one season. Last year the American singer, who began her music career when she was just a teenager and since going on to sell a staggering 48 million records worldwide, joined The Voice UK. Her casting came after the controversial axe of Olly Murs and Anne-Marie, the latter who said the decision was a 'shock' and left him 'gutted'. Soon after it was announced the coaches who remained – Sir Tom Jones and – would be joined by LeAnn and McFly's Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones. Last year's season was eventually won by the McFly boys' act Ava in October; however it's now been reported the line-up is getting a shake-up again after LeAnn, 42, quit. Instead, she now wants to 'focus on her career in the US and appear on the American version as mega mentor alongside Sheryl Crow'. 'LeAnn loved her time on the UK show, but wants to focus on her career in the States,' a source told The Sun. 'She was hugely popular with cast and crew, and everybody loved having her as part of the team.' 'Bosses are currently on the lookout for another female singer to join the all-star line-up, they haven't made a decision just yet but are having conversations.' They added: 'Producers know they've had some amazing names so far, from Olly Murs to Anne-Marie, so they want to secure someone who will cause a lot of excitement around the show and bring a new energy to the competition.' The source went on to reveal the show's 14th season would be filmed 'later this summer' and confirmed Danny would be back, a few months after the married musician came under fire for being snapped kissing fellow I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! star Maura Higgins. Speaking about deciding to sign up to the series, LeAnn previously told Metro that getting to act as a coach and mentor rather than judging aspiring artists was a major drawcard. 'I wouldn't have done it if it wasn't a kind show. You want to give people creative criticism – not shatter their hopes and dreams. I think a lot of people went too far back in the day,' she added, referencing the harsh criticisms dished out to musicians in past reality talent shows. Last year LeAnn also appeared as a coach on The Voice Australia, winning that season with her act Reuben De Melo. However soon after it aired, in September a TV insider said she was a 'one and done coach' and wouldn't be returning to the show. More Trending This was then confirmed in January when the coaching panel was announced, with LeAnn replaced by former Spice Girl Melanie C. This weekend LeAnn teased new projects with her fans, captioning an Instagram post: 'Thank you all for making April full of love, laughter and connection. May, I am SO ready for you and the exciting new journey I am about to embark on! Stay tuned…' Metro has contacted ITV and representatives for LeAnn Rimes for comment.
