A Pride organization attacked Katie Price after she pulled out of a upcoming event and released a vile statement in response.

A scathing statement has hit out at Katie Price after her last-minute cancellation of a fundraising event. The former glamour model, 47, had been booked to headline an afterparty event at Milton Keynes Pride Festival.

However, the organisers of MK Pride have said they were left less than impressed with their efforts to get the star turn to confirm her obligation. Instead, they have now released a damning message on social media. While insisting the event will still go ahead without the mum-of-five, the Facebook post hit out at Katie’s apparent “lack of accountability and professionalism”.

Taking to the platform, the statement read: “Milton Keynes Pride Festival is a not-for-profit organisation. The official afterparty was booked and promoted as a fundraising event, with Katie Price contracted as the headline performer.

Her management has confirmed that she will not be honoring her booking despite repeated attempts to contact her to fulfill this agreement. We have no control over this decision, which was made on short notice.

The organization continued, “We are committed to transparency as a Pride organization. In order to put this in context, Ms. Price’s approach to her professional commitments has already been covered extensively in media reports.

“While our country has always supported her, it is regrettable that no one has given her the same amount of support.” We feel sorry for the community’s disappointment when she refuses to fulfill her obligations to a charitable Pride event.

As they sought a replacement, the organizers remained open to the audience’s requests for patience. They also confirmed that Katie’s withdrawal won’t bring the afterparty to a halt.

The statement continued, “We are currently looking for a replacement for Katie Price, and the afterparty will continue as planned at Pink Punters.” Please allow us to finish this in a few hours, and we’ll make an announcement right away.

“All ticket holders are encouraged to retain their tickets in support of the main Milton Keynes Pride Festival remaining free for all to attend. However, if they wish to refund their tickets, we will be in direct contact with all ticket holders to arrange this process. “MK Pride will still operate the dedicated coaches from Campbell Park to Pink Punters, as an additional offering to ensure our community can continue Pride celebrations together.

“Milton Keynes Pride is always fully committed to providing an inclusive, safe, and unforgettable celebration for our community, despite this situation being entirely out of our control,” said the mayor.

A representative for Katie told the Mirror: “Katie is disappointed not to be appearing at the Milton Keynes Pride afterparty due to unforeseen filming commitments. She has great respect for Pride events and the LGBTQ+ community and wishes Milton Keynes Pride every success with their celebrations.”

The news comes as Katie gets ready to release new music. She revealed she has been back in the studio writing new music before her sudden chart success with 2017 track I Got U.

And she has confirmed she is set to release a brand-new track with an X Factor legend writing the track. Former contestant Craig Colton is the man behind Katie’s new track as she continues her dream move.

Before her boyfriend Rob’s anticipated proposal, Bethany aspires to rekindle her relationship with Nel. However, a volcano erup as they re-establish their friendship.

In the first look at Erupcja shared with Deadline, Chari and Lena’s character reconnect as Bethany questions if Nel really wants to marry Rob. Director Ohs welcomes the stars into the writers room to share their own thoughts on the plot and characters.

She ate that, according to another commenter. “I can smell the egot] Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Awards,” a fourth person wrote.

Director Ohs mentioned working with Charli on the project and said, “She came to Poland during Brat Summer, which is great, and it’s still just crazy that she chose to do that.”

We were like, “Don’t do Brat green, you can’t do it,” because of all those color interstitials in the movie.

This is uncharted territory, he continued, “for Charli and Lena.” This is a group of strangers, mostly from a new, unfamiliar process.

They are also being asked to do this incredibly vulnerable thing, which is step in front of a camera and expose themselves, in an unfamiliar process with a group of strangers. I’m very appreciative of how they all showed up so generously and bravely.

Charli is also set to appear in 100 Nights of Hero, a historical fantasy film written and directed by Julia Jackman. It is based on the graphic novel of the same name by Isabel Greenberg and stars Emma Corrin, Nicholas Galitzine, Maika Monroe, Amir El-Masry, Richard E. Grant and Felicity Jones.

Neil Hopper, a guest on This Morning and a former surgeon, was given a 32-month jail sentence after having his legs amputated while claiming he had sepsis.

A This Morning guest, who appeared on the ITV show to claim he host his legs due to sepsis, has been jailed. Neil Hopper discussed his so-called battle on the daytime programme, where he said he developed the life-threatening illness after a family camping trip.

After causing the injuries himself, the former surgeon was now in jail for 32 months for fraud totaling more than £466, 000. According to what Truro Crown Court heard, he used dry ice to amputate his legs to the point where they needed to be amputated.

Hopper had a sexual interest in the act, both in terms of ambition. According to the court, he intended to receive a sum of £231, 031 from one insurer and a sum of £232, 622 from another.

Hopper also admitted to having extreme pornography on three separate counts. When “Eunuch Maker” Marius Gustavson was detained by police, the 49-year-old was exposed.

Gustavson has been sentenced to life in prison. After freezing it, he had his leg amputated, his own penis cut off, and his nipple’s tip removed.

According to the prosecution, Hopper purchased three videos from Gustavson’s website that show men willingly having their genitalia removed.

In roughly 1,500 messages with Gustavson, Hopper described how his own leg was amputated and how he did it. According to Mr. Lee, “Mr. Hopper always had dreams of becoming an amputee, and it is obvious from the messages that it is evident from the messages.

He has a sexual desire to become an amputee, something he has been obsessed with. Hopper was portrayed in the court by “Defence Andrew Langdon KC” as having grown up in a rural village in Wales and felt he was “in the wrong body” from a young age.

He claimed that he wanted to be a woman because of his gender. Hopper, who was staying with his in-laws when he and his family were separated in April 2019, made the decision to “irreversibly damage his legs.”

“He knows in the days and weeks that followed, he let himself down in the most shameful way,” added Mr. Langdon. The attorney explained to the court that Hopper’s wife desired a divorce.

Hopper had previously claimed that while camping with his daughter, he fell ill. He claimed that he had sepsis while his daughter recovered from surgery.

Hopper claimed there was no guarantee it would work and that he would have needed skin grafts and operations to save his legs.

The doctor advised the patient to choose one operation instead of the other to sort things out. Hopper was referred to as the “Bravest surgeon in Britain,” performing hundreds of amputations on others.

He was shortlisted in the European Space Agency’s search for an astronaut with a disability. Hopper had worked at the Royal Cornwall Hospitals since March 2023.

He was subject to restrictions from the medical register since December 2023 and has been subject to a general medical council suspension since April 2023.

A spokesperson for Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust told the Sun: “The charges do not relate to Mr Hopper’s professional conduct and there has been no evidence to suggest any risk to patients.

From 2013 until his initial arrest, Mr. Hopper served at the Royal Cornwall Hospitals before being suspended from service in March 2023.

EXCLUSIVE: EastEnders’ Jacqueline Jossa and Jake Wood open up about the Branning on-screen dynamic as Jake returns to the BBC soap as Max Branning, admitting it will be ‘electric’ when all the Brannings are reunited

Albert Square is about to be shaken to its very core – because Max Branning is back. After five years away, Jake Wood returns to EastEnders in a storyline that promises secrets, shocks, and a reunion that fans have been crying out for. And his on-screen daughter Jacqueline Jossa could not be happier.

“I kept texting him over the years to come back – so I’m glad the persistence worked!” Jacqueline laughs, as she prepares to share the screen with Jake for the first time in seven years. “It’s going to be electric when all the Brannings are reunited.”

Jake Wood first arrived in Walford in June 2006, quickly establishing Max as one of the Square’s most infamous bad boys. He spent 15 years in the role before bowing out in February 2021.

With dodgy deals, affairs and betrayals under his belt, Max cemented his place in soap history – not least with that unforgettable Christmas Day reveal of his affair with daughter-in-law Stacey Slater.

Jacqueline Jossa joined the soap in 2010 as Lauren Branning, Max’s troubled daughter. After eight years of teenage angst, alcoholism and heartbreak, she departed in 2018. Since then she’s returned for brief stints, including Dot Cotton’s funeral in 2022, before confirming a permanent comeback in 2023.

Now, father and daughter are back together on screen – and fans are braced for fireworks.

The latest episode will finally unravel the mystery that has been bubbling all week: Zoe Slater’s new romance. Viewers saw Kat’s daughter Zoe shot and rushed to hospital in a dramatic twist, with her life hanging in the balance. But when Kat answered her daughter’s phone mid-surgery, the caller left jaws dropping – it was Max Branning.

The shock link is explained in the flashback episode, as we discover how Max and Zoe met in a bar. When Max learned she was a Slater, the connection was instant. Both were missing relationships with their children, and as Zoe searched for the son she gave up for adoption, Max stepped in to help her pay for a private investigator, without highlighting to her “you remind me of Stacey”. That common ground sparked a genuine romance – one that looks set to turn Walford upside down.

“They met out at the bar after Max heard she was a slater,” he says. “It was like a bat signal and they quickly established that there was a family connection.”

“The relationship between them is genuine and there are genuine feelings there but when Max comes back it has become complicated in terms of where Max is at. A lot of their relationship is down to Zoe looking for her son who she gave up for adoption and Max helps her pay for a Private investigator to help her find him.”

“It’s interesting to have Max in the mix and making everything more complicated,” Jake admits. “There are genuine feelings between them, but when Max comes back it’s complicated by where he’s at in his own life.”

Of course, Max returning to the Square means revisiting his chequered past. Stacey Slater, played by Lacey Turner, will always be tied to Max after their notorious affair. And while Stacey is set to take an extended break from the soap, Jake teases that their paths may well cross before she goes. Tonight’s episode saw them speak to each other, unaware the other was on the other end of the phone till Max heard Stacey’s voice.

Unfinished business? “Undoubtedly yes,” he says with a knowing smile. “They will always be connected regardless of what they do.”

For Jake, coming back to the show was a no-brainer. After spending time with his family – his eldest is now at university and another child is taking A-levels – the timing finally felt right. “Working with the team again is great,” he says. “Even when I was away I was still checking in to see what everyone was doing. It feels like coming home.”

He credits executive producer Ben Wadey, along with a few nudges from co-stars, for tempting him back. “Scott was calling me. Jacqueline was calling me. It felt like the right time.”

Jacqueline agrees, saying the reunion with Jake is more than just nostalgia – it’s soap gold. “Lauren might not be as welcoming as I am,” she laughs, hinting at family drama to come. “But deep down she still wants to be her dad’s little girl.”

With Zoe recovering from her shooting, Max re-establishing himself in Walford, and the Brannings gearing up for a fiery reunion, the episode sets up months of drama. Add in Stacey’s looming exit, Zoe’s search for her son, and the unresolved tension between father and daughter, and it’s clear the Square is heading for chaos.

Jake puts it best: “Max is an iconic character. And it’s been a joy to come back.”

For fans of EastEnders, Max’s return is more than a storyline – it’s a homecoming. And when Max Branning steps back onto Albert Square, one thing is certain: life in Walford will never be the same again.

As they prepare to marry and have children, famous Big Brother stars JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes are ready to take their romance to the next level.

JoJo Siwa has revealed she has a “beautiful future” with Chris Hughes as their surprise romance continues to blossom. The Dance Moms star, 22, shocked her fans when she sparked a connection with Love Island’s Chris, 32, while in the Celebrity Big Brother house.

They initially fought off romance rumours and insisted they were just close friends. However, JoJo dumped her then-girlfriend Kath Ebbs at the show’s wrap party and spent more and more time with Chris in the outside world.

In a surprise move, the pair confirmed their romance with some very loved up social media snaps. They have managed to keep it going as they split their time across the pond, with JoJo and Chris spending time in both the US and UK.

With the pair already discussing marriage and children, their romance has even gotten even stronger. JoJo admitted, “I pester him, and we pester each other.”

She continued, “The thing about Christopher and I is how we met, it accelerates your relationship like no other, right? ” Just after we started to notice that we liked each other more than just friends in this friendship dynamic, we suddenly realized that we were more in love than just friends.

When asked about having children and getting married, she replied, “I don’t know, I think we have a beautiful future ahead of us, and I think it’s very fast and it’s very quick.” We have a lot of fun, fun, and things coming up that I’m looking forward to, even though I can’t explain it.

On Heart’s No Filter, JoJo stated, “It’s everything I think anyone wants in life to feel like they’re going to be treated this way, and then they’ll start having families this way and have their own little families this way.” We’re like a big family because our families get along with one another. It is stunning.

They are “craving” kids because JoJo and Chris are so optimistic about their future. She stated to The Sun, “I crave them, I would absolutely love to have babies, it’s absolutely in my future and I don’t believe it’s that far away.”

The dancer continued, “I’m at a point in my life where my career is functioning smoothly and that I know how to do everything I’m doing without learning anything new. So I’m at a great place with that.”

There are many things to come in my life, but I undoubtedly want kids.

After being clean for the past eight years, Charlie Sheen has opened up about his past and revealed his thoughts that he might die.

Actor Charlie Sheen has candidly revealed he would die if he touches drugs again after past, public battles with addictions.

The Hollywood star is eight years sober and has admitted the scary outcome as he updates fans on his health. The Two and a Half Men star, 60, is telling his story in his new memoir as well as a two-part Netflix documentary.

He acknowledges his past behavior and admits he never anticipated reaching the milestone age in it. He reveals that he has a strict fitness regimen and that he is currently feeling “pretty good.”

It is a far cry from his former life, which saw two very public and ugly divorces and a lot of public acclaim. He stated in a statement to PEOPLE Magazine: “Most of my 50s were spent apologizing to the people I hurt… Everything I did is my own.

He claimed that his new memoir is simply his interpretation of events. He claims it was a miracle that he only had one overdose and a close call with death during his heaviest partying days, despite making several rehab trips.

He said you “must be willing” to get clean, in reference to that. Cassandra, 41, Sami, 21, Lola, 20, and Max and Bob, 16, were his main motivations for his change, he claimed.

Before admitting he has no desire to go back to his drug-addicted self, he said, “I keep a mental list of the worst, most shameful things I’ve done.”

He also made the unwavering claim that, regardless of whether it is true or not, I prefer to believe the next hit will kill me.

He said that during the height of his fame, where he was earning $1.8m (£1.3m) per episode of his hit sitcom, he became erratic.

Additionally, he claimed to have “tiger blood” flowing through his veins and that he had previously “banged seven gram rocks” of cocaine.

Charlie said that despite his best efforts to pardon his former actions, he is still evolving. He claimed that he occasionally experiences “shame shivers” at times. However, he claimed that, thankfully, those times are diverging, and that progress is being made.

Charlie has confirmed that if the time is right, he would be eager to return to the screen if necessary after taking a break from acting. He did, however, claim that the current approach is one of day-ago.

He continued to describe his most recent projects, “I’m not calling all of this a comeback.” I’m referring to a reset here. Whatever the outcome will be, I’m just living for the moment.
