Kerry Katona’s impressive loyalty glistened in a candid interview about pal Katie Price — in which she praised the reality star’s strength and determination.

In a remarkable new interview, Kerry, 45, received praise online for the support she has given Katie, her best friend. Kate is not fragile, according to the former Atomic Kitten member. She is the most powerful person I know. She also drinks more together than anyone would give her credit. And she’ll regain control of her empire. I admire her tremendously.

Her clear verdict of Katie’s character comes despite the former model’s health battle, for which fans have expressed concern. Katie had said last week her life became “sad and lonely” following mental health challenges some time ago. She has had several cosmetic surgeries in recent years, including one just this month on her lips and this has divided opinion.

Kerry, the mother-of-five, says that Katie and she “live each other’s lives,” when she expressed support for the actress today. “Don’t touch Kate,” Kerry remarked. Avoid touching her. What’s wrong with them, exactly? Kate and I both went where we went. I’ve divorced, filed for bankruptcy, and used the drugs. Our lives are very mirror-free. Why wouldn’t I back her? Nobody has backed me.

Following the interview, Kerry’s supporters praised her devotion. One online user said, “Tough cookie, Kerry, you look fantastic.” Another person praised “Kerry’s loyalty.” You also have the strength of Katie.

Kerry, who was born in Warrington, Cheshire, recently appeared in a documentary about girl bands and how early success at age 18, with Atomic Kitten, can be unhealthy. She claimed that watching the program after it ended was difficult because it brought back unpleasant memories.

Two days prior to the release of Whole Again, the band’s first UK number one single, Kerry left Atomic Kitten in January 2001. The TV star has since experienced additional difficulties, including several bad jobs and two bankruptcies.

And it is through these hard times, she and Katie haved remained close and crutches of support. They may both have five children but Kerry believes their parenting styles are different. The former glamour model, who endorsed Donald Trump during his electoral campaign last year, told the Daily Mail today: “Well, she’s really laidback about everything — including parenting. I’m more strict. And I’m more fiery. I’m more likely to headbutt someone.”

Both women have previously discussed supporting causes that matter to them, and Meghan Markle has a close friendship with cosmetics businessman Victoria Jackson.

A generous make-up tycoon has reportedly been lending Meghan Markle and Prince Harry her luxury mansions — that make their home “look like a prison”.

Meghan Markle has had a close friendship with Victoria Jackson, an entrepreneur in the cosmetics sector, for years and has gushed about the 70-year-old woman in previous media interviews. In one, she called Victoria her “safe harbour,” a phrase with huge significance now following Meghan’s links with the woman.

The Duchess of Sussex felt “at home” in the entrepreneur’s properties after her 41st birthday at Victoria’s ranch near Santa Barbara, California. According to a source, “Victoria’s homes make their place in Montecito look like a prison or a beach shack.” They are attracted to the security, the homes are incredible, and they don’t have to pay anything, which is appealing.

Meghan and Victoria’s connection has come to light after the Duchess of Sussex has spent 2025 desperately trying to rebrand, following the end of her and Harry’s Netflix deal. However, she is yet to strike gold and questions remain about how the couple are to continue their affluent lifestyle — without a return to Royal Family.

According to legend, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex frequently make use of Buster Keaton’s 14-bedroom Beverly mansion as a base. It is a far cry from Meghan and Harry’s Montecito home, which has a 50-foot living room, a 60-foot pool, a staff quarters, and an olive-lined driveway.

Instead of owning her own home in the same town, Victoria also owns a mansion in Montecito, reportedly where Meghan had a birthday party. It is believed that Meghan, who met Victoria through mutual friends, has supported the make-up tycoon’s business endeavors.

The Daily Mail today reports on the friendship, and how this has developed over the years. Alison Boshoff, editor at large at the publication, wrote: “In an interview in 2021, Meghan referred to Jackson as her ‘safe harbour’ – and now we know what she meant.”

Yet, the editor makes no further comment about the term. Meghan used the phrase in 2021 during a time when she and Harry had faced scrutiny for various interviews to the media, notably including the lengthy chats with Oprah Winfrey. The couple sat down with Oprah for a tell-all interview about their split from the Royal Family.

Cheryl Tweedy, who was referred to as Cheryl Cole when she wed England footballer Ashley, raised £1 million to fund the Cheryl’s Trust Centre in Newcastle City Center.

Cheryl Tweedy’s name has been dramatically stripped from a charity for which she helped raised £1million.

The singer established the Cheryl’s Trust Centre in her native Newcastle and funds built via the Cheryl Cole Foundation have supported disadvantaged young people there for years. Cheryl, 42, declared it an “incredibly special” day when King Charles, then Prince, visited the centre in 2021.

The Prince’s Trust Cheryl’s Trust Centre, however, has been removed. A sign that reads simply “King’s Trust” was added in place of it. The Geordie star’s fan commented, “It’s very sad. She was the engine of it. Her fans are angry about the decision. It’s not at all cool, one user wrote online, “Such a cheap shot that her name was removed.”

After Charles ascended to the throne the year after his visit, the charity was formed in collaboration with royal charity, the Prince’s Trust, which later became the King’s Trust. The King thanked the actress, who appeared in Girls Aloud, for her “energy and enthusiasm” during his visit.

At the peak of the The X Factor judge’s fame, it was said that the King viewed Cheryl — who was raised in Walker, Newcastle — as a valuable ally for enhancing his public appeal. He even brought in her long-time mentor, Kristina Kyriacou, to serve as the PR chief for his extensive charity network, reports the Daily Mail. It is said Cheryl first encountered the King at a Prince’s Trust gala dinner in 2012, later joining him for tea at Clarence House.

After having son, Bear, eight, with her then-partner Liam Payne, Cheryl left the limelight after a hugely successful pop and television career that led to her earning a multi-million-dollar fortune.

One Direction singer Liam tragically died last year at the age of 31 after falling from a hotel balcony in Argentina. He left behind a £28.6million estate, and, having died without a will, named Cheryl as the administrator responsible for managing the assets on behalf of their son, Bear, the rightful heir.

According to a royal source, “Chryl’s Trust was given the name of the center at a temporary basis.” It made sense to update the center’s title and signage as well, they continued, “When the charity officially changed its name this year from the Prince’s Trust to the King’s Trust.” According to a spokesperson, “Cheryl continues to be a highly regarded Ambassador for the King’s Trust.”

What’s happening here, exactly? Everyone has already entered, so we can’t stop! He quipped at the packed venue. What should I do, please? Should I simply fill out? Isn’t it warm in here, too? It’s nice, that”.

Embracing the situation, Kay perched himself on a chair and kept talking to the crowd, turning the blunder into entertainment as he improvised through the unplanned interruption, reports the Liverpool Echo.

The comics’ most successful tour since 2022, which began in the comics’ current year, is now complete. He set records for Manchester’s AO Arena’s attendance record and established himself as the first performer to hold a monthly residency at London’s O2 Arena, giving the venue’s total of 45 performances.

Kay hasn’t stopped announcing more dates, pushing the tour through until 2026, despite the extreme ticket demand. Despite having a rocky beginning, viewers soon found their groove again with his distinctive humor and sharp comebacks.

Musician Aitch opened up about his sisters during the latest episode of I’m A Celeb, admitting his siblings are his ‘whole heart’, leaving fans in tears

Aitch left I’m A Celeb fans in tears as he spoke about his family. The musician never shies away from discussing his sisters, who are ten years younger than he is.

During Friday’s episode of the ITV programme, the musician, 25, recently admitted he was taking part in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! to raise awareness of Down syndrome. But during a chat with reality star Tom Read Wilson, Aitch revealed his non-identical twin sisters are his “whole heart”.

While showing Tom a picture of his siblings, the Baby hitmaker said: “Can you believe them two are twins? Twins them two!” He went on to add: “Hattie and Gracie, she’s an absolute angel [while pointing at Hattie] and she’s an absolute devil,” as he pointed at Gracie.

Speaking of Gracie, Aitch joked: “She’s a naughty girl. But you could come and spend 10 minutes with her and you’d never forget her for your whole life.” When asked if they were close, he said: “That’s my whole heart, them two.”

In the Bush Telegraph, Tom said: “I think the thing that touched me most today, the most defeating moment, was when Aitch decided to show me his family photo he has here. Everything that he does is with them in mind, and I thought, ‘This boy is truly altruistic and he’s got a heart of gold.”

Fans were quick to take to social media, with one writing: “Aitch is precious #imaceleb.” A second penned: “Aitch is adorable #imaceleb.” “Aitch talking about his sisters, so heartwarming #ImACeleb,” tweeted a third. Meanwhile a fourth penned: “Aitch talking about his sisters,” alongside a clip of somebody in tears.

“Tom is such a sweetie. He was so touched by Aitch showing him his family photo. I hope people give him a chance. #ImACeleb,” wrote another.

Speaking about why he’s taking part in the programme, Aitch said: “On a personal Harrison level, this show is something I grew up watching in our house. It would almost be disrespectful to say ‘no’. Why would I not do it?

“On an Aitch level, I feel like I have got this calling to raise awareness for Down syndrome, and I feel that’s the perfect place. Also, you don’t always want to be stuck in the same world forever. You can branch out and do other things. You don’t have to stick to the code (rap world), because you think that’s cool. I did have to cancel some gigs for it. But you are never going to branch out if you do the same thing all the time.”

Elsewhere in the show, Aitch and his pal Angry Ginge headed to the creek to splash about, while the rapper shared what’s on his mind.

“I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for Shona, me,” he said. Ginge replied: “I think she’s really nice, if that’s what you mean, yeah?” Keeping things low-key, Aitch commented: “Yeah, that’s what I mean…”

Since the scene aired, fans have taken to social media, with one saying: Aitch and Shona have chem… Just saying. #ImACeleb.” A second added: “Aitch and Shona would make a lovely couple! #ImaCeleb.” “#ImACeleb I definitely can see Aitch and Shona together,” penned a third.

“The Aitch and Shona friendship #imaceleb,” tweeted another. Before a sixth went on to pen: “Even aitch feeling the spark we all see with Shona #ImACeleb.”

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! airs daily at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
