Former glamour model Katie Price has revealed she watched her boyfriend JJ Slater get cosmetic surgery as she recovers from her latest round of beauty treatments

Katie Price has shared her nerves as she watched her boyfriend JJ Slater get surgery. The former glamour model, 47, is recovering from her own latest procedure after jetting to Turkey.

She revealed she had another round of cosmetic procedures in Istanbul and can no longer perform basic tasks amid her healing process. However, it hasn’t put off her Married At First Sight UK partner as he is going under the knife as well.

Katie revealed it was now JJ’s turn as she showed off her bandages and prepared to get a very close view. It comes after Katie worried fans with appearance in family photo after explaining weight loss.

She took a selfie while sat in the sun and wore a small bandage above her top lip. Katie shared: “Watching JJ get his surgery we were both so nervous.”

Despite the nerves, JJ had Katie throughout his procedure. Earlier this week, the mum-of-five was seen leaving Turkey’s Trio Clinic with her face heavily bandaged, having undergone a series of enhancements, including a brow lift, eye lift, and lip correction.

She appeared upbeat in snaps she shared from the hospital even though her face appeared swollen and in dressings. The latest procedures follow a £10,000 facelift and add to her long list of body modifications.

However, it seems to have come at a price as Katie revealed she can no longer smile after her latest operations. Taking to her social media yesterday, the former glamour posted a photo of her brand-new face as she covered her eyes with huge oversized sunglasses.

Showing off her plump pout, Katie told her followers: “I can’t smile.” She hinted it will be a long road to recovery. Katie has often spoken openly about her battle with body image and surgery addiction.

Earlier this year while appearing on The Louis Theroux podcast, the mum-of-five admitted that she thinks she has suffered with body dysmorphia all of her life.

“I don’t ever look in the mirror and think I look good. I never have done. So, there’s obviously an underlying issue,” she admitted. Katie has allegedly undergone 17 breast augmentations and six facelifts.

Her trip abroad for surgery comes amid a sad family rift with her daughter Princess Andre. Katie had claimed she was banned from attending her daughter’s 18th birthday part as it was being filmed for her new ITV2 documentary series.

Speaking on her podcast, Katie claimed: “Princess was like ‘I’m having a party’. And I wasn’t invited because it was for ‘filming’. The fact is there’s stuff my daughter is doing and I’m not allowed to be seen at any of it.”

However, sources told the Mirror that Katie had in fact swerved a meet-up with Princess on her 18th birthday so she could carry on partying abroad instead.

They said the 18-year-old had arranged to see her mum on the morning of her birthday in June in London, but Katie failed to appear. A source said: “It was all in the diary but then Katie claimed she couldn’t make it as she was abroad. It was disappointing.

“For Katie to then say she was banned from the afternoon’s filmed party when she was the no-show in the morning is just beyond belief.”

Coronation Street as recast a beloved character after just one year on screen, with the fourth star now taking on the role. The ITV soap has rejigged its cast as a new actor will appear on the Cobbles very soon.

The character has been part of the ITV show for eight years, but will now be taken on by a new actor. Harry Platt, who is the son of Sarah Barlow, had been played by Carter J Murphy.

However, Carter’s departure from the soap comes with a good reason. He has landed a huge role in Matilda the Musical and could no longer carry on with his commitments on Corrie.

Carter has decided to step away from his role for a year, with a new actor called Josh filling in for him. He will make his debut on the Cobbles in the coming weeks, according to the Sun.

Character Harry was born in 2016 following Sarah’s fling with baddie Callum Logan, played by Sean Ward. Twins Freddie and Isaac played the role from 2017 to last year.

It wasn’t Carter’s first taste of the big screen thanks to landing the role of a young Robbie Williams in his upcoming movie Better Man. Speaking to press about Carter joining the soap, Jack P Shepherd said: “They’ve just recast the lad who plays Harry.

“Carter is very, very confident.” He made his debut on screens in December last year. Just last month, Corrie saw a new actress step into a role following the recasting of a character.

Grace Ashcroft-Gardiner stepped into the shoes of Lily Platt on the beloved ITV soap. The young actress couldn’t contain her joy as she announced her new gig to her followers, taking over from Brooke Malonie who portrayed Lily since 2016.

Grace said: “I am so excited to share my news that I have joined the cast of Coronation Street playing the role of Lily Platt.” She went on to thank the Stagebox team for their pivotal role in her journey.

The young star added: “It’s been a brilliant few months since my first audition, which wouldn’t have happened without the fantastic Stagebox team (who I can’t thank enough! ).

“The whole Corrie team, the cast and crew have been absolutely amazing, I couldn’t have asked for any more support during my first few weeks filming on the cobbles.”

Sydney Martin, who plays Betsy Swain, commented: “Smashing it! ! I love the sass you give her.” Jack P Shepherd, who plays her on-screen father David Platt, chimed in: “Yay! Great to have part of the family Grace.”

Grace became the sixth actress to step into the shoes of Lily since the character’s introduction in 2013.

The Mirror has contacted ITV for comment.

Disgraced media mogul Harvey Weinstein is set for a third trial in New York after a mistrial in June as jury members couldn’t reach a decision

Harvey Weinstein is set to face trial for a third time later this year. It comes after the disgraced media mogul was convicted in June of sexually assaulting one woman.

He was also acquitted of assaulting another by a jury who could not reach a verdict in a third case. Now, the judge wants another retrial to be held this year.

On Wednesday, New York Judge Curtis Farber said he wants the trial to take place before the end of the year after a jury was unable to come to a verdict on a rape charge that accused Weinstein of sexually assaulting former actress Jessica Mann.

Weinstein, 73, denies sexually assaulting or raping anyone.

The jury in June reached a split verdict in the second of the fallen star’s New York trials. Of three charges from three different women, only one resulted in a criminal conviction. Another resulted in an acquittal, and the third, the accusation from Jessica Mann, ended in a mistrial as jury members couldn’t reach a decision.

Now, however, that mistrial might see a different ending with the latest decision. The first New York trial against Weinstein occurred in 2020. At that time, a jury returned a guilty verdict.

However, his team were successful in having the conviction overturned, which resulted in a retrial.

The sentencing for Weinstein’s conviction, according to the judge, is set for September 30. “We continue to fight,” Jennifer Bonjean, Weinstein’s attorney said, according to The New York Times. “This doesn’t change the strength of the appeal, which is strong and compelling. We will continue to fight till the bitter end.”

Following the verdict in June, Mann told the Mirror in a statement, “I would never lie about rape or use something so traumatic to hurt someone. Rape can happen in relationships – and in dynamics where power and manipulation control the narrative.

“Some victims survive by appeasing, and many carry deep empathy, even for their abusers. That’s part of the trap.

“No matter the ‘power’ I gained, I never used it to harm him. I’ve advocated for men, studied consent law to protect both victims and the wrongly accused, and kept the fight where it belongs: in the courtroom. I never even sued him civilly when I could have been awarded damages. I waived liability because I only ask for accountability.“Even in my dynamic with Harvey – the lack of a ‘seductress’ is under-discussed and the evidence that usually follows a person with those intentions. The smear campaign built around me is hollow.

“The evidence doesn’t exist because the propaganda isn’t real. It’s the nuances I fight to have heard while I’m objected at when answering in the courtroom.“Coming forward cost me everything. My privacy, my safety. I laid bare my trauma, my shame – everything I’d tried to bury just to keep living. Still, I stood up and told the truth. Again and again.”
