Princess Andre stuns in crop top as she joins brother Junior at star-studded party
Princess Andre commanded attention as she looked glamorous following a recent outing, just weeks after celebrating her 18th birthday with a lavish trip abroad Princess Andre turned heads in a sleek all-black outfit as she stepped onto the red carpet at London's Kisstory Blackheath Live festival. After celebrating her milestone 18th birthday, the teen rocked a black crop top and matching trousers, opting to wear her signature long curly blonde straight. The daughter of Katie Price and Peter Andre was joined by big brother Junior, 20, and his girlfriend Jasmine Orr, 24, for the music-filled day out. Junior kept things low-key in a grey jumper and black jeans, while Jasmine opted for edgy black camo cargo trousers and a fitted vest. The outing comes after Princess's sun-soaked trip to Mexico last week, where she joined her stepmum Emily MacDonagh's family, including Emily's younger brothers, Will and Joe. She shared a stream of holiday snaps with fans as she soaked up the sunshine. Despite the festivities, Princess's birthday caused a stir - after mum Katie Price was noticeably absent from the celebrations. Instead of joining the family dinner, Katie was seen partying in Dubai, but later addressed the situation on her podcast with sister Sophie. "Princess is now officially an adult so mummy and Princess can now go out together. If certain people would let her be seen with me," she said. Katie also touched on Princess's upcoming documentary, revealing she's not been included in the filming. The 47-year-old former I'm a Celeb star shared, "Everyone knows she's doing this documentary - and I'm not in it. Certain people don't think it's good for Princess to be seen with me. Certain people that used to look after me." Sophie chimed in,"'You aren't on brand Katie. You are too risky Katie that's why'." Katie then appeared to take aim at her ex-husband Peter and their former PR team—now reportedly handling Junior and Princess's careers, saying, "It's pathetic. I'm her mother. It's sad. It's so sad. When certain people who used to look after me are now looking after..." According to reports, the former glamour model wasn't invited to Princess's official birthday party because it was being filmed for the new doc. She continued: "The fact is there's stuff my daughter is doing and I'm not allowed to be seen at any of it. Certain people who are filming Princess' documentary used to do my filming. It's fine, it's just there's always conflict of interest. People will cotton on to this. So we do have to do something for Princess' 18th."

Coronation Street Mick actor Joe Layton 'set for Hollywood' after ITV soap exit
Coronation Street actor Joe Layton has played the role of Mick Michaelis on the cobbles since earlier this year but could soon be switching Weatherfield for Hollywood Coronation Street's Joe Layton, known for his role as the menacing Mick Michaelis, could be on the brink of a major Hollywood breakthrough. Joe burst onto the scene earlier this year as the ruthless thug Mick, alongside his partner Lou (Farrel Hegarty). Labelled as "nightmare neighbours," the pair quickly became notorious for causing chaos. In a shocking turn of events in May, Mick brutally murdered Weatherfield's beloved Craig Tinker ( Colson Smith) in a harrowing alcohol-fuelled attack. It was then revealed that he also regularly abused Lou adding to the disdain for his character from viewers who were shocked to see how truly evil he was capable of being. After Craig's tragic end, Mick found himself behind bars. However, this week saw an explosive development as he broke free from custody. In a desperate search for his child, Mick stabbed Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) before being caught again and sent back to prison. Now, with Mick's time on the cobbles drawing to a close, speculation is rife about actor Joe's next move with his frantic on-screen demeanour capturing the imagination of TV fans. Betway has provided odds on his next step that place Joe at a not too shabby 3/1 to hop over to rival soap EastEnders. But that isn't the only soap where he could show up, as Joe is also sitting at 5/1 to land a role on Channel 4's Hollyoaks. When it comes to reality TV prospects, he's got odds of 8/1 for I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! and 10/1 for Strictly Come Dancing where fans would get to learn more about him as opposed to his on-screen alter ego Mick. But it's not just small screen opportunities on the horizon for Joe. He could find himself making his way into the cinematic universe too. Bookies are betting that the big screen could come knocking and he might snag a role in a blockbuster Hollywood franchise. Joe currently stands at 16/1 to appear in a Marvel film, and 50/1 to potentially become the next James Bond. Mike Reading, spokesperson at Betway told the Daily Star: "After playing brutal villain Mick Michaelis on Coronation Street, Joe Layton is now a 3/1 shot to bring his bad-boy energy to EastEnders. "Having made headlines for his character's violent past and dramatic prison escape, Layton looks ready-made for the gritty world of Albert Square – pub bust-ups, family feuds, and a shady market hustle would suit him down to the ground! "Other potential next moves include jetting out to the jungle for I'm a Celeb (8/1), joining Strictly (10/1), or even a Marvel comeback (16/1) after previously starring in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., but it's East London where punters think he's most likely to land next." Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
