Katie Price breaks silence on JJ Slater split claims - 'I don't feel free'
Katie Price has set the record straight on her relationship with Married At First star, JJ Slater, after the pair were rumoured to have called it quits Katie Price has broken her silence on claims she's split with her boyfriend, JJ Slater. The glamour icon, 46 and Married At First Sight star, 31, have been dating for more than a year, however fans thought the couple may have secretly called it a day after noticing the pair had not appeared on each other's Instagram for a while as well as not spending Christmas together. Last week, Katie's rep told the Mirror the couple were very much together and "continuing as normal". However, on Married At First Sight guru Paul latest podcast, the Pricey made a cryptic comment about her relationship. When told by Paul she should feel "free" and "happy" with a partner, she said: "I've never had that in any relationship. Never had any of them. "And JJ, he's the most kind, genuine, easygoing, chilled person. But do I feel my happiest and do I feel free? No. It's not a reflection on him, maybe that's what I need to change for myself." Paul, who is one of the experts on Married At First Sight UK, told her: "You need some time to yourself because you have to experience what freedom feels like." Katie explained: "Freedom to me is like when I took my kids to Thailand for a month, just me and them. We felt free. Just little life experiences, seeing things, taking them to little adventures." The OnlyFans star, who has been married three times, then added: "I just don't want to answer to anyone, I want them to fit in with me." Speaking of her concerns for her relationship with JJ, she continued: "When you meet someone, it's natural to want to be with them all the time. Then the mistakes I've made in the past are then you're with them all the time. "It becomes literally 24/7 because I've never been out with someone who's had a nine to five job." She went on: "They've always had a job where, I suppose it's adaptable that they come with me. So in the beginning, that's all nice, but then you get into the habit of they're about too much, to the point you start not seeing your friends, because you're with them all the time, and then you get into this situation where they're so used to being with you all the time that then when you do say, 'I'm gonna go and see a friend,' it doesn't seem normal because you haven't done it. "So I'm a bit worried that I've got like that with JJ." Despite her misgivings about spending too much time with JJ, in her recent podcast with her sister, Sophie, Katie admitted that the reality star was "The One". It hasn't always been easy for the couple, though, as the former Married at First Sight contestant got a rough ride from his future brother-in-law. Harry Brooks, who is married to Katie's sister Sophie. When JJ, who shacked up with Ella Morgan, on Married At First Sight, after failing to click with his telly bride, Bianca, into the family group chat, Harry mused: 'What… another one?"

MAFS star Lucinda Light slammed for supporting JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes after Dance Moms star brutally dumped her Aussie girlfriend
Married At First Sight star Lucinda Light has been forced to backtrack on her recent Instagram post with controversial Celebrity Big Brother duo JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes, amid mounting criticism over JoJo's brutal dumping of her Australian partner Kath Ebbs. Lucinda was all smiles as she posed for a backstage photo alongside the Celebrity Big Brother UK finalists on Monday, amid mounting speculation that the pair could be more than 'platonic soulmates.' The 43-year-old, who skyrocketed to fame on last year's MAFS season, shared a photo with JoJo and Chris to Instagram after appearing on British chat show This Morning, and praised them for being 'bold and brave'. On Sunday, JoJo's girlfriend Kath Ebbs confirmed that they and JoJo are no longer together after the Dance Moms star called things off at the CBB afterparty. 'Just met these two radiant humans today at @thismorning for the first time! I didn't watch Big Brother, and... I was not across the breakup and their dynamic,' Lucinda began in her original caption. 'It's bold and brave going on a TV show like this and putting yourself out there. Congrats on making your way through and now to navigate it all on the out. Bless this mess. @itsjojosiwa & @chrishughesofficial!' she continued in her caption. 'Glad I got to say a cheeky hello today. May we all learn our lessons. May we walk humbly. May we forgive ourselves and each other. May we empathise. May we grow,' she finished the caption. As Lucinda shared the post to her Stories, she shared some additional words: 'Platonic friendship love. You [two] are gorgeous.' JoJo, 21, returned to her native Los Angeles on Tuesday, after a whirlwind press tour with Chris in the UK and shared Lucinda's post to her 11.2million Instagram followers. Fans were quick to criticise the MAFS star's judgement on the relationship between Chris and JoJo and questioned whether the post was out of touch with the online support for Kath in Australia. 'Lucindaslight-ly out of touch with how much damage these two have publicly created,' one commented, prompting Lucinda to respond. The reality star said that she hasn't seen any of the CBB series and wasn't up-to-date with JoJo's relationship status when she met her backstage. 'I'm not over any of it,' Lucinda replied. Fans were quick to criticise the MAFS star's judgement on the relationship between Chris and JoJo and questioned whether the post was out of touch with the support for Kath in Australia 'Lucinda you're the best, but these two aren't platonic,' another fan commented with a laugh-crying emoji. 'Oh Lucinda I love you, but I cannot support these pair, they're aren't good energy!' agreed another. One fan simply wrote, 'Team Kath.' The comments weren't all negative, though, with Sophie Monk also showing support for JoJo, who rocked an edgy look in a cropped denim jacket layered over a black studded corset. 'Aw I love JoJo with the bow bow,' the Love Island Australia host commented. The sheer volume of comments prompted Lucinda to update her caption on Wednesday. 'Updated post! Just met these two radiant humans today at This Morning for the first time!' the MAFS star explained. 'I didn't watch Big Brother, and when I posted this I was not across the breakup and their dynamic.' While Lucinda wiped her hands of the social media faux pas, she said that she stands by her original. 'Lots of you have opinions about what they did or didn't do — and I get it — but I've already shared this post and stand by it. Who am I to judge on the intricacies of it all - it's reality tv after all,' Lucinda wrote in the updated caption.

Geordie Shore star Vicky Pattison and Ercan Ramadan got hitched officially in the UK last year, before jetting off to a lavish ceremony in Italy, surrounded by their famous family and friends Vicky Pattison has been a familiar face on our screens since she was introduced on Geordie Shore 14 years ago. The reality star, who is preparing to star in another TV series called The Honesty Box, immediately became a fan favourite thanks to her quick wit and no-nonsense approach to things. During her time on Geordie Shore, fans watched as she went through difficult relationships. It wasn't until she met Ercan Ramadan that she found the love of her life. The couple, who had been dating since January 2019, got hitched officially in the UK last year, before jetting off to a lavish ceremony in Italy, surrounded by their famous family and friends. Harrods coffee backed by Deborah Meaden and Sara Davies that 'helps with brain fog' Vicky's new show with Married At First Sight Australia's Lucinda Light, The Honesty Box, is coming to E4 and will test "if honesty is the best policy when it comes to finding true and everlasting love." Cast members will come together in a tropical paradise where they're not allowed to lie. The description said: "To encourage full transparency in their new relationships there is a potential prize fund of £100,000 up for grabs, but only if the Truetopians choose to be open and completely honest about their true feelings." Ahead of her new show, we take a look at Vicky's own relationship with Ercan... Sleeping in separate beds The gorgeous couple have been married for less than a year and don't sleep in the same bed. While most people usually share a bed once they start dating, Vicky and Ercan spend most of their nights apart. Explaining that their dogs are getting in the way of any potential nookie between the pair, she told OK! magazine: "We're just desperate to sleep in the same bed together. I sleep with the dogs and he sleeps in the spare room!' Despite sleeping separately, Vicky did praise her husband for bringing out the best in her, gushing: "We love each other for our differences. He's making me more patient, calm and thoughtful. I like to think I'm making him more ambitious and proactive." 'Alien experience' When she first got married, Vicky revealed the start of a marriage felt like an 'alien experience'. She appeared on BBC Radio 4's Women's Hour, the reality star admitted the first six months after getting hitched had been "difficult". She said: "I don't think it's how anyone anticipates, their first six months of marriage, you know, it's a very alien experience. I mean it has been difficult, I have been frustrated, I have been upset and I have been overwhelmed quite a lot." Vicky was also criticised for making a deepfake sex tape of herself for a documentary about the impact of image-based sexual abuse. However, the stunt didn't go down well with several viewers as many accused the influencer of orchestrating a 'publicity stunt'. Admitting she hadn't been a "joy to live with" during the ordeal, Vicky said: "So even without thinking about, the deepfake itself, I haven't been a joy to live with quite frankly and I do feel for my husband, but he's very supportive." No plans for children yet Vicky and Ercan are not yet trying for children but have planned for the future. The reality star said she previously froze her eggs before the couple decided to start IVF. After getting married, her friends assumed she would be trying to have children as soon as possible, but Vicky said she wanted to enjoy being married for at least a year before trying for a family. She said: "Everyone thought we'd try for kids quite quickly – so did we! But we're going to enjoy being married, for at least a year. I'd love a honeymoon first! A little week in the Caribbean would be lovely."

Married At First Sight star Belinda Vickers celebrates her engagement to 'border breacher' beau Hayden Burbank with lavish party in Melbourne
Married At First Sight star Belinda Vickers dressed to impress as she celebrated her engagement to Hayden Burbank with a lavish party in Melbourne over the weekend. The reality TV star, 31, made a statement in a long bright blue floral dress as she put on a loved-up display with her beau. Belinda wore her signature red locks in curls and accessorised her look with a pair of nude strappy heels. Hayden, 52, looked dapper for the party in navy pants, a blue button shirt and a white blazer. The couple shared a series of photos to social media as they danced and posed with friends and family at the private party. Guests were treated to an array of cocktails while violinists played music at the lavish home. The couple announced their engagement back in February last year, telling the Herald Sun that Hayden's unique Valentine's Day proposal included a treasure hunt at the Botanical Gardens. 'She's been phenomenal for me, the most beautiful, kind soul I've ever met. I had tears rolling down my face as I got down on one knee,' Hayden said. Hayden, who is the former owner of swanky Melbourne hotspot Morris Jones, added his proposal caught the attention of the public, who burst into applause after Belinda said yes and accepted his dazzling engagement ring. 'It was always yes. It was 12 months after MAFS that we met and it really led me to him and opened up new people for me meet,' Belinda said. The pair met in Melbourne through mutual friends in 2022. In 2021, Hayden was jailed for three months after breaking Covid rules during the height of the pandemic. He hopped the border into the Northern Territory before travelling to Western Australia to watch Melbourne Demons win at Perth Stadium. To dodge WA's strict border rules at the time, he falsified a rental agreement at a Darwin address while also fraudulently obtaining NT drivers' licences. Their relationship blossomed after the bar owner spent 90 days behind bars at WA's maximum security Hakea prison, which earned him the jailhouse nickname of 'border breacher'. Hayden described his experience at one of Australia's toughest jails as 'the ultimate game of Survivor'. 'You have to form alliances and not do anything stupid and get through each day by day,' he told the Saturday Herald Sun in March 2022. 'They are the longest days of your life. I'm not built for jail. Nobody is built for jail.' Hayden added he shared a cell with one of the prison's top dogs, a bikie, who would wake him up each morning and taunt: 'Border breacher, border breacher'. Belinda found fame on season eight of Married At First Sight, which aired in 2021. She and her on-screen husband Patrick Dwyer were deemed the 'golden couple' of the series but split up after nine months.
