Katie Price 'in new legal row' as exes Kieran Hayler and Alex Reid team up
Katie Price has been caught up in another row with her exes, days after Peter Andre took to social media to blast her 'lies'. This time, Alex Reid and Kieran Hayler have reportedly joined forces in a bid to block the former Page 3 model from releasing a tell-all documentary. According to The Mirror, the film — set to air next year — would reveal intimate details about her relationships. Alex, 50, dated Katie, 47, in 2009 after her split with the Mysterious Girl icon, with the pair tying the knot a year in … only to divorce in 2011. By 2013, she had moved on with Kieran, 38, who is the father of Jett and Bunny, but in 2021, they officially broke up after alleged affairs. 'They feel like they have been backed into a corner and have no choice,' a source revealed. The outlet reports that they have been in contact via an intermediary over the documentary, which is being made by Louis Theroux's production company Mindhouse. It's due to be aired by Sky but lawyers for the pair are said to be urging the broadcaster to reconsider. The source continued: 'They just want her to stop trashing them, and can't believe she is being given a platform.' Another source, close to Kieran, said that 'enough is enough' and the men are just looking to move on with their lives but 'can't trust anything' that Katie says. A spokesman for Kieran added: 'We are keeping all our options open. I can confirm Alex Reid is on the same page.' This comes days after Peter Andre, 52, hit out at his ex-wife over their children Junior, 20, and Princess, 18. He wrote: 'In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement. I have never made this public before, out of respect for my children. 'In 2011 and 2015, publicly documented court cases, found my ex-wife had made false claims. She was ordered to pay substantial damages and legal costs, and to apologise, to me and my management. The same falsehoods are being repeated today. 'Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations I have yet to address. Those will now be dealt with in the coming months.' Katie's team hit back and told Metro: 'Kate is in a much better and clear headspace and is at peace with the situation, this was in the past and she doesn't feel the need to bring up tit for tat comments, but more importantly she's dealing with this the right way and it's now in her lawyers hands. 'Kate will no longer be gaslighted and bullied as she once was…' This isn't the first time lawyers have got involved in Katie's messy love life, as Alex previously sued her for breach of confidence and misuse of private information. She had shown friends videos and pictures of the Celebrity Big Brother winner performing a sex act, which he claimed impacted his career. More Trending At the time, High Court judge Mr Justice Warby called her behaviour 'persistent, flagrant, arrogant, high-handed and inexcusable'. Alex said: 'She was saying the most disgusting things about me… It was affecting me working continually because people were laughing at me.' She was ordered to pay £25,000 in damages and £150,000 in costs to the former cage fighter. View More » Metro has reached out to all involved parties for comment. Got a story?

Katie Price faces lawsuit from exes over revealing documentary plans
Katie Price is facing a new legal battle after her former husbands Kieran Hayler and Alex Reid joined forces in an attempt to block a planned tell-all documentary Katie Price has allegedly found herself wrapped up in a fresh legal battle with her former husbands over a planned tell-all documentary. The programme, scheduled to broadcast next year, is expected to reveal intimate details about her past relationships. Kieran Hayler, 38, and Alex Reid, 50, are in talks with lawyers in a bid to prevent the film from including them, according to TV industry sources. The duo are communicating through an intermediary, as both are reportedly horrified at the thought of Katie discussing them. A source revealed to the Mirror: "They feel like they have been backed into a corner and have no choice. They just want her to stop trashing them, and can't believe she is being given a platform." This news comes after the former glamour model was left struggling with basic tasks after her most recent facial procedures. Legal representatives for Katie 's first husband, Peter Andre, were already on "red alert" before news of the proposed documentary emerged last week. This comes as Peter, 52, issued a statement slamming his former wife's "lies". When questioned about the show, an insider close to the Australian performer said: "His lawyers will be keeping a close eye on all things moving forward in terms of what Kate says or does." The three-part programme is allegedly being produced by Louis Theroux's company Mindhouse and distributed by Sky. A firmly-worded legal notice is being drafted on behalf of Kieran and Alex, pressing the broadcaster to think twice about screening it. A representative for Kieran stated: "We are keeping all our options open. I can confirm Alex Reid is on the same page." A TV insider suggested this week that the autobiographical show would "likely spill the beans on [Katie's] many flings and love affairs" and would be the "most authentic version of her story". However, a source close to Kieran expressed: "Enough is enough. They want to move on with their lives, and they can't trust anything that comes out her mouth." Katie and Kieran were married from 2013 to 2021. They have two children, Jett, now 12, and Bunny, 11. Former cage fighter Alex tied the knot with the ex-glamour model in Las Vegas in February 2010, however they parted ways in January 2011. Alex sued his ex for breach of confidence, misuse of private information and breach of contract after she disclosed to pals videos and photos of him performing a sex act. High Court judge Mr Justice Warby branded Katie's behaviour "persistent, flagrant, arrogant, high-handed and inexcusable". She was told to pay £25,000 in damages and £150,000 in costs. Reality TV star Alex said it had an impact on his career, adding: "She was saying the most disgusting things about me... It was affecting me working continually because people were laughing at me." Katie was married to Mysterious Girl singer Pete from 2005 to 2009 in a high-profile romance, and they share Junior, 20, and Princess, 18. She has been thrust into the limelight recently surrounding the debut of her eldest daughter's ITV programme, The Princess Diaries. Her claim last week that Princess resides with her appeared to infuriate Peter. Branding his ex a serial liar, he declared: "Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until... adulthood. In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement." He also referenced court proceedings in 2011 and 2015, claiming they demonstrated Katie had made false statements. A source revealed yesterday, Friday, August 15: "Pete felt he had to do this for the sake of not only him, but his wife [Emily], Princess and Junior. He has received so many messages of support from people who are glad he has called such behaviour out." In her defence, mum-of-five Katie, who also shares son Harvey, 23, with football coach Dwight Yorke, responded: "I know I will always be seen as a sinner. That's fair. I allowed myself to fall into a reliance on drugs and alcohol. At times I was not the mother I should have been while I struggled with mental illness. "I have been at times a poor friend, an awful sibling, and an untrustworthy partner. I've self-medicated, been unfaithful, damaged myself and those that I love." Meanwhile, Princess has stated that the feud between Katie and Peter doesn't bother her as she loves them both. Responding to a fan's query about whether their spats affect her, she said: "To be honest it doesn't. At the end of the day, they broke up when I was two years old so I don't even have any memory of them being together." She further added: "I love my mum and dad and that's all that matters." Katie has alleged that she was barred from Princess' 18th birthday party, which was filmed for her show, and that her daughter's management team considered her trash. However, an insider claimed that Katie wasn't banned but had missed the party due to being overseas. Sky did not respond to a request for comment when approached by the Mirror.

Iconic nineties girl group 'turn down appearance in Louis Theroux's new BBC documentary about girlbands' ahead of their 30th anniversary
The Spice Girls have reportedly turned down a personal request from Louis Theroux to appear in his new BBC documentary about girlbands. It puts Theroux in a tricky spot, as the band are widely seen as the ultimate girl group and were expected to feature in the film, according to The Sun. In contrast, last year Robbie Williams and his production company, Mindhouse, featured in Louis boyband documentary - titled Boybands Forever - candidly sharing stories about his turbulent time in the spotlight. A TV insider told the publication: 'The difference is that the Spice Girls are fast approaching 30 years since the release of their debut single Wannabe and have a string of projects in the pipeline. 'Many of the issues that Robbie brought up on Boybands Forever were wholly justifiable and most viewers sympathised with his situation when he was in Take That. 'But none of the Spice Girls want to do the same, and they feel it wouldn't be fair on their loyal fans to spoil the magic of Girl Power so close to their anniversary year.' This puts Theroux in a tricky spot, as the band are widely seen as the ultimate girl group and were expected to feature in the film, according to The Sun The source concluded that the band wants 2026 to be a moment to celebrate the group's achievements. The documentary, titled Girlbands Forever, is set to feature singers from other iconic groups such as All Saints, Girls Aloud, Sugababes, Eternal, and Atomic Kitten. MailOnline has contacted Spice Girls' former manager Simon Fuller and Louis' representative for comment. It comes after it was reported that the girl group are reportedly set to reunite to mark their 30th anniversary as they have been secretly planning an upcoming world tour. Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton, Mel B and Mel C were said to be in April in Miami to discuss the finer details. The Sun reported that Victoria Beckham, 51, however is '90 per cent out of the running', with the foursome pushing ahead with plans without her for now. Geri and band manager and guru Simon Fuller are reportedly in touch again which has moved things along after years of hints from various members that they would get back together. A source told the publication: 'There have been rumours swirling for months, but Geri has always been too busy and had other things on, preventing her from saying yes. 'Nothing is yet confirmed but Geri and Simon are back in touch with a myriad of exciting ideas. 'Unfortunately Victoria has pretty much ruled herself out, but there is still a world in which she could do some sort of avatar appearance or a special one-off thing. She would always want to honour the girls' history.' 'If Simon were to get involved, this would absolutely take any tour to the next level.' In April, Geri dropped the biggest hint yet that the Spice Girls are set to reunite. The singer 52, formed the band in 1994 with Mel B, Mel C, Emma and Victoria. Since they officially broke up they there have been various rumours that they would reunite - with Mel B recently sharing her enthusiasm again for another tour. And now Geri has said in an interview that there is hope for this - despite reports over the years that she doesn't get on with Mel B. She told The Times: 'My hope is we come back together as a collective. It's more respectful to come as one. 'There will be something. We'll come as one. We love each other. I love them, I care about them, we want the best for each other. 'We shared something so monumental. We've always believed in each other, had trust in each other, which is beautiful.' She also confirmed that the five of them do have a group chat but wouldn't reveal the name of it. The girl group last toured together in 2020 as a foursome, with only Victoria missing out. While the last time Emma, Mel B, Mel C, Victoria and Geri all performed as a five was during the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics.

Iconic girl band REJECT approach by Louis Theroux for new BBC doc after Robbie Williams' bombshell interview
THE SPICE GIRLS have rejected a personal approach by Louis Theroux to talk in his bombshell BBC documentary on girlbands. And that puts him in an awkward position, since the Fab Five are considered to be the archetypal group and were supposed to be appearing in the show. 7 It was a different story last year when Louis and his production company, Mindhouse, made Boybands Forever for BBC Two and Robbie Williams freely recalled his turbulent time in Take That. A TV insider said: 'The difference is that the Spice Girls are fast approaching 30 years since the release of their debut single Wannabe and have a string of projects in the pipeline. 'Many of the issues that Robbie brought up on Boybands Forever were wholly justifiable and most viewers sympathised with his situation when he was in Take That. 'But none of the Spice Girls want to do the same, and they feel it wouldn't be fair on their loyal fans to spoil the magic of Girl Power so close to their anniversary year. 'They want 2026 to be a moment when they celebrate the group's achievements.' The documentary, expected to be called Girlbands Forever, is likely to feature singers from other groups including All Saints, Girls Aloud, Sugababes, Eternal and Atomic Kitten. As with Simon Cowell 's interview for last year's Boybands Forever, some of the chats were expected to be done face to face with Louis. But even a personal invite from the man himself couldn't convince the Spice Girls to do what Robbie did on Boybands Forever. U-turn His appearance sparked further resentment between him and Take That's former manager Nigel Martin-Smith, who also appeared on the show. It is 30 years since Angels singer Robbie sensationally left the group and launched his solo career, just as Geri Halliwell did with the Spice Girls in 1998. Louis Theroux's Tell Them You Love Me is the a controversial Sky documentary dubbed the 'new' Baby Reindeer The remaining four members — Victoria Beckham, Mel B, Mel C and Emma Bunton — then officially disbanded in 2001. Filming on the Mindhouse documentary is continuing without them, and is expected to wrap this summer, with broadcast likely in October. I don't think Louis should count on a last-minute U-turn by the girls before then. 7 40 YEARS OF CHRIS IN DALES 7 EMMERDALE legend Chris Chittell has signed a new deal to keep him in the village for a 40th year. The actor, who plays scheming businessman Eric Pollard in the ITV soap, will mark his milestone in September 2026. A source said: 'Chris is Emmerdale and there was no way he wasn't going to make it to 40 years. It's such a big achievement and he loves being on the show as much as he did when he first joined. There are big things coming for Eric, well into next year.' He first appeared in 1986, as a villain for just a 12-episode stint but quickly made an impression on bosses who signed him full-time. He has been at the centre of some of Emmerdale's biggest storylines including screen wife Val Pollard 's death in a helicopter crash in 2015. Two years ago, his character Eric was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. ITV has commissioned The Dark, a thriller set in Scotland in which a detective hunts down a suspected serial killer terrorising a remote community. Based on GR Halliday's debut novel From The Shadows, it will start filming in and around Glasgow this year, with the aim of screening in 2026. CELEBS SET FOR BAR TREK 7 CHANNEL 4 has unveiled the line-up for the new series of Perfect Pub Walks, with new host Alexander Armstrong taking over from Bill Bailey. The show sees the Pointless presenter enjoying a chat and a ramble to a pub with a different celebrity in each episode. The new series features Sir Lenny Henry, comedian Chris McCausland, The Grand Tour 's James May and telly naturalist Chris Packham. The four-part series, to be shown on More4 later this year, will see Alexander and his famous friends enjoying picturesque strolls through Yorkshire, Kent, Shropshire and Monmouthshire while sharing diverse, funny and sometimes personal conversations. ANNA ON JIMMY DUTIES 7 ANNA FRIEL looks remarkably fresh-faced in this peek at Jimmy McGovern's upcoming new drama. But the BBC series, Unforgivable, brings veteran screenwriter McGovern's trademark grittiness as it describes a family dealing with the devastating effects of sexual abuse by one of their own. Set in the writer's native Liverpool, it stars Anna alongside Anna Maxwell Martin and David Threlfall, and will air later this year on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer. It is McGovern's first TV project since prison drama Time four years ago. His previous hard-hitting dramas have included Cracker, Hillsborough, The Lakes and Banished. CRIME series Sneaky Pete arrives on Netflix on July 10. Created by Breaking Bad 's Bryan Cranston, it stars Giovanni Ribisi (Phoebe's half-brother in Friends) as Marius Josipovi. Sneaky Pete follows an ex-con who takes on the identity of his old cellmate to try and avoid his own past. OOH AAH IT'S ZARA 7 7 ZARA McDERMOTT scrubbed up a treat in a figure-hugging dress – in stark contrast to her festival look at Glastonbury last weekend with singer boyfriend Louis Tomlinson. Love Islander Zara wore the frock for a TV appearance BBC daytime show Morning Live, to promote her upcoming docu-series about party-loving Brit holidaymakers in Thailand. Zara McDermott: Thailand will air on BBC Three later this year and look at why so many young Brits pile in there for a good time – though this year's Glasto was probably almost as sunny and hot. BAKE OFF LOOKING ROSE-Y STRICTLY champion Rose Ayling-Ellis is hoping to dance off with another telly triumph on Celebrity Bake Off. The 2021 winner and ex- EastEnder joins stars including Jojo Siwa and Molly-Mae Hague on the Stand Up To Cancer special. Bake Off helped launched the career of John Whaite, her rival in the final of the BBC One dance show. He won the baking contest in 2012 before becoming a TV chef, and eventually signing up for Strictly. Since Rose's triumph, and leaving EastEnders, she's bagged roles in BBC dramas Ludwig, Reunion and Doctor Who as well as ITV thriller Code Of Silence. She's also about to star in a TV movie called Tuva. Channel 4 is lucky it found time in her diary to bake cakes.
