Peter Andre shows true colours over Alison Hammond's 13-stone weight loss
In his exclusive OK! column this week, Peter Andre weighs on the ongoing debates around the so-called weight-loss injections, which have resulted in a number of famous faces shrinking before our eyes. He also reveals what new driver Princess Andre is like behind the wheel of a car - after she passed her driving test on her fifth attempt, and why he isn't giving up on Love Island just yet... Princess has finally passed her driving test – I'm really proud of her. She kept telling me she failed four times. But you know what they say – or maybe don't say! – 'The fifth time's a charm.' As I said to her, it's actually better that it's taken awhile for her to pass because at least she knows now that she genuinely deserves to pass and she can feel confident on the roads. I went in the car with her the other day and she was actually really good. Alison Hammond is looking amazing and she's spoken about not using weight-loss jabs. She obviously feels fantastic and I don't think it's anyone else's business when it comes to the injections – we shouldn't force people into discussing it. I don't know why we think everyone must say what they did or didn't do. Alison is a good friend who has put the work in and done it the hard way, which is impressive. But I'd never judge anyone for taking the injections – it's none of my business. I read that Love Island : All Stars winners Gabby Allen and Casey O'Gorman have split up and a lot of people are questioning whether the show is a joke at this point and whether someone can seriously find love in the villa. But look at other similar shows like Married At First Sight – most couples on there also don't end up lasting. Love Island has had great success stories such as Cara De La Hoyde and Nathan Massey from2016 and 2017's Camilla Thurlow and Jamie Jewitt – and also MAFS has had some success stories. I'm not embarrassed to admit I really enjoy a night in with Emily watching a romcom. Pretty Woman came out 35 years ago and it's still one of my favourite films – it's such a classic. At the time, every man wanted to be Richard Gere and every woman wanted to be Julia Roberts. It was the love story of its time – we all imagined ourselves going to the Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel to recreate that piano scene. I saw that a 34-year-old called Rosemary Coogan could become the first Briton to walk on the moon and rightfully so. As a man with a lot of great and very strongwomen in his life, I'm all for it!I know there are the conspiracy theorists who say nobody has ever actually done it, but I'm not one of them – everyone is entitled to their opinion though. I think the more we can learn and experience, the better. READ MORE: Kate Middleton wears her £155 espadrille wedges on repeat in summer and we've found a £60 lookalike

Is 'Pretty Woman 2' Finally Happening? Richard Gere Shares The Catch
Hollywood legend Richard Gere has reignited hopes for a "Pretty Woman" sequel, revealing that his participation hinges on a single condition: a compelling script. Speaking exclusively to People at the City Harvest Gala in New York City on April 22, 2025, Gere emphasized the importance of quality writing, stating, "It all comes down to whether or not there's a good script." Reflecting on the original 1990 film, Gere recalled his initial hesitation to accept the role of Edward Lewis, describing the character as "just a suit" until director Garry Marshall and co-star Julia Roberts helped bring depth to the role. According to People Magazine, the film, celebrating its 35th anniversary this year, remains a beloved classic, known for its memorable storyline and the chemistry between Gere and Roberts. In the original film, Julia Roberts played Vivian Ward, a sex worker who's hired by Gere's Edward Lewis. They end up spending a week together at the Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel, where Vivian wins over some of the snobby world of wealth with her winsome spirit. The pair eventually fall for each other and seal their devotion as Roxette's "It Must Have Been Love" plays in the background. "We ended up, you know, really trying to find a character there that made sense within the structure and, you know, the essence of what that piece was," Gere explained. "To make it heartfelt, to make it charming, make it fun, make it sexy, you know? And we all loved each other. Great trust, we had a wonderful time, and we had no idea that it was going to be what it was." According to People Magazine, the movie is beloved not only for the incredible chemistry between Roberts and Gere but also for Vivian's memorable wardrobe. The cast of the film also included Jason Alexander, Hector Elizondo, Laura San Giacomo, and Ralph Bellamy.
