“I am not the kind of person who wants to go in a studio and do an album, but I think it would be hilarious if me and Katie dressed up as our ex-husbands to do a mash-up of Peter Andre ’s Mysterious Girl and Westlife’s Flying Without Wings in jest. Can you imagine the music video?! We could donate the money to important causes – like people in refuges and those going through domestic violence.” Kerry was married to Westlife star Brian McFadden from 2002 until 2006 while Katie wed Peter Andre in 2005 until the pair split in 2009.
Kerry and her friend Katie, 47, traveled the UK with their stage show, which gave fans a direct look at their lives and careers, and which also featured Kerry performing Whole Again to fans, on the road at the end of 2025.
Kerry revealed in her new! after the tour was over. “Thank you, Katie Price and I wrapped up our tour’s final date last week,” I said in a nutshell. Although the traveling and being away from home was very exhausting, Katie and I are already FaceTipping each other and getting ready for our next tour.

“We’re really looking forward to that even though it won’t be until next year.” I enjoy my routine, so it’s nice to return to the school games and watch DJ cheer on. I feel like I’ve missed out on a lot because I’m on tour. However, the tour was bigger and better than I had anticipated.
Nikki Sanderson, a former Hollyoaks and Coronation Street actress, and Anthony Quinlan, a former Hollyoaks and Emmerdale partner, had a difficult pregnancy.
When soap star couple Nikki Sanderson and Anthony Quinlan got the positive pregnancy test result they’d both been dreaming of, they were hit by a whirlwind of mixed emotions.
While Nikki, 41, was “on cloud nine,” she began to worry about possible complications from the pregnancy. “I felt absolutely elated that we got this confirmation and that the baby was fine – the first time seeing the heartbeat on the scans was the most amazing, incredible feeling”, she says. However, I also experienced a lot of worry, just worrying that our journey would be smooth and that the baby would be okay. I had a lot of worries and was very excited and over the moon.
Former Hollyoaks and Emmerdale star Anthony, 41, adds, “We were thrilled but kind of held back from getting too excited because we’re aware of the troubles that can happen. You’re in that protective mode where you want everything to be OK, but there can be difficulties, especially in the first trimester.”

Nikki is due in the spring, but understandably declines to be too specific about dates in order to avoid unwanted stress when the time comes. “I’m concerned about the pressure of people saying, “Has she had the baby yet?” explained the actress, who resigned from her Hollyoaks starring role in April. “But we’re happy to say it’s going to be a lovely little spring baby”.
Nikki, who took the pregnancy test alongside Anthony at their North Manchester home, recalls the moment she learned she was expecting. “It was just amazing. Her pregnancy came as a surprise even more as she was only four to five weeks along, with no indications of what she was expecting.
“Some people have nausea very early on and can have symptoms that give them a clue, but we didn’t have any of that”, she tells us. We simply continued with life. Even we entered a fitness competition together. It was literally only that I missed my period that made us do the test”.
Anthony claims there was “a little shock” as the happy news arrived. He goes on to say, “Because we’ve had a few instances where it wasn’t the result we wanted, it was like, “Is this for real?” The couple had endured a two-year struggle to conceive and had already taken the first steps towards having IVF.
“We’ve had a lot of ups and downs in our journey to becoming parents and it’s been really hard on us”, admits Nikki. It’s just incredible, though, waiting for our gorgeous baby to arrive. Sadly, each person’s journey to conception is unique, and some are simpler than others. But being where we are now makes all the ups and downs worth it”.
We were somewhat constrained by the possibility that we might require IVF treatment, Anthony adds. We had to give it a lot, but we were just hoping. While such struggles can strain even the strongest relationships, Nikki and Anthony have remained a tight, loving unit throughout.
“We’ve been blessed that we are a team,” says Nikki, who also played Candice Stowe in Coronation Street. “We knew this process wasn’t going to be easy and I can totally understand why it can take a huge toll on people. It’s not just the physical element, it’s the mental and emotional sides to it as well. But we really had each other’s backs through the highs and lows.”
Squeezing Anthony’s hand lovingly, Nikki adds, “I feel incredibly lucky that I’ve had this journey with Anthony. It can’t be easy for him either, and you have to take into consideration how it makes your partner feel.” Anthony agrees. “It’s a team effort. If you’re going to bring a little person into the world, it’s not a flippant thing, it’s life-changing and one of the most amazing things you can ever experience as a human being.”
In the early days of their romance, Nikki – then in her late thirties – says she was acutely aware her biological clock was ticking. She wanted to avoid having children in the future, which meant having an awkward conversation with her new partner. She says, “I just thought it was something to think about freezing my eggs.” “Anthony and I had only been together for a few months and it’s such a big conversation to have, so I was a little anxious. However, he simply said, “Nick, I think that’s a really good idea. “
At first, Nikki wanted to find out whether the baby was a boy or a girl, but she overheard a change of heart. “The further we got into the pregnancy, the more I warmed to the idea. Really, we have no control over what we have. We will be very, very happy as long as the baby is healthy. We don’t know quite when]we’ll find out the gender], but it’s the next step for us”.
The couple intends to have the scan results sealed in an envelope that they can open either alone or with their friends and family. Nikki won’t be spending any money on a home birthing pool until after the baby is born.
“I would definitely like to be in a hospital environment”, says the star, who tells us she is “classed as high risk” due to her age and other medical factors. I prefer to be somewhere where a team is present to immediately intervene and provide assistance if something were to go wrong.
Anthony and Nikki will only decide on a name once the baby is born, although they will whittle the options down to “two or three” beforehand. We prefer girls’ names over boys, says Nikki. Anthony likes some names, and Anthony likes others that I don’t like. Then, when we do like a name together, after two or three weeks, we’re like, ‘ Oh, actually, no, we’re not really fond of that name any more. ‘ They therefore continue to change.
The expecting mother-to-be appreciates that breastfeeding her baby is not always that simple. “I would love to be able to breastfeed, but ultimately, if for some reason that isn’t a reality for me, then I’m not going to get stressed over it”, she says. Some infants don’t latch on, others prefer to be breastfed, and others prefer bottle feeding. I’ll move on to what’s best for the baby if my milk doesn’t flow properly or something.
Anthony, who sweetly says he “can’t wait till we’re a little team of three”, has been enjoying Nikki’s pregnancy. The actor, who also runs an online PT and supplements business, says, “Initially it kind of felt a little surreal.” However, when I saw her with a bump and the baby kicked, it really hit home. That is the most magical feeling. It suddenly became extremely real and even more thrilling.
It hasn’t all been plain sailing though – Nikki admits the first 14 to 16 weeks of her pregnancy were “pretty difficult” as she battled nausea, extreme exhaustion and even had a couple of emergency scans to check on the baby due to bleeding. She claims that there were a lot of different things going on, but things have since cooled and she has grown more content with her pregnancy.
“We’re getting to experience all the lovely sides of pregnancy now, which is just incredible,” she says. The couple have already started stocking up on cute outfits for the tot. “We’ve got one babygrow that says ‘milking it’ on the front, which is adorable,” says Anthony, who tells us he will also be buying his son or daughter Manchester United’s new kit when it comes out in June.
He says, “It’s crazy how you can love something so much that isn’t even present in the world properly yet,” clearly moving by the prospect of fatherhood. It’s an overwhelming feeling and so bizarre to explain, but I just want to squeeze him or her. I’m in a rush to see it. When Nikki claims that she is excited that it will finally be made public, he continues, “I want to shout it from the rooftops.”
Hollywood legend Tommy Lee Jones’s family thanked fans for their condolences following the passing of his daughter.
In San Francisco, California, on January 1st, Victoria Kafka Jones, 34, was discovered lifeless in a hotel. The actress, who appeared in Men in Black II, The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, and One Tree Hill, was later found dead at the scene.
Although he claimed to have been devastated by the tragedy, he hadn’t spoken about it until now, as she had Victoria with Kimberlea Cloughley. We appreciate everyone’s kind words, thoughts, and prayers, according to the brief family statement. “Thank you.” The family is aware that the media has treated them with respect and privacy, which is also understandable.
According to reports, another hotel guest discovered Victoria lying on the ground at the Fairmont Hotel San Francisco’s 14th floor. The guest allegedly called the hotel staff and reported that she thought she might be intoxicated.

Then, according to reports, staff members immediately called emergency services and began CPR after discovering Victoria to be unresponsive during the shift. No foul play was found at the scene, according to a source who spoke to the Daily Mail.
After the tragic news broke, Jones, 79, received numerous messages of support, including those from his fans on social media. The family, which includes his current wife Dawn Laurel, issued the heartfelt statement today as a result.
The cause of death is still undetermined at this time. However, as we reported yesterday, it is not believed that the actress intended to commit suicide.
On New Year’s Day, the San Francisco Fire Department claimed to have been present at the scene at around 3 a.m. According to TMZ, San Francisco Police Department and San Francisco Medical Examiner also responded.
According to a police spokesperson, San Francisco Police officers responded to a hotel on the 900 block of Mason Street on January 1 at 3:14 a.m. after receiving a report of a deceased person.
Officers met with the medics who declared the adult female dead at the scene. The medical examiner arrived on the scene and opened the case. Anyone with information is asked to call the SFPD at 415-575-4444 or text TIP411 to start the message with SFPD.
With his second wife Kimberlea Cloughley, Jones, who received a Golden Globe Award for his role in The Fugitive in 1994, split Victoria, his son Austin, 42, and his second wife. He was married to her from 1981 to 1996.

Holly Ramsay’s wedding grabbed headlines this week(Image: WireImage)
Holly Ramsay’s mum Tana has not waded into the row surrounding her daughter’s wedding — and friends say for good reason.
Tana, 51, has not been caught in the crossfire of the apparent feud between Holly and Adam Peaty, and his side of the family, which led to most of them being banned from the ceremony last week. Her husband, TV chef Gordon, even appeared to make jibes during his speech at Bath Abbey in front of around 200 guests.
But Tana hasn’t mentioned the big day on her Instagram, and hasn’t even posted a picture on there of Holly and Adam since 2023 when they became engaged. Sources say this is because the mum is known as “Tana the peacemaker” among her friends, who have praised her “kind and sweet” nature.
A friend of the Ramsays said: “Tana is the kindest, sweetest and most down-to-earth woman you could wish to meet. She loves nothing more than being a mum. Parenting is her thing and she’s done her very best to bring her children up with morals, manners and tried to teach them to do the right thing.
“Tana is the calming mother hen, the peacemaker. Falling out like this, to the extent that your mother isn’t at your own wedding, is just awful. “

Holly’s three wedding dresses have finally been pictured — and these included Tana’s wedding gown, which she wore to wed Gordon nearly 30 years ago. In an interview, Holly said: “I’ve always loved the idea of bringing in mum’s dress at some point.”
And Tana, a trained Montessori teacher, is thought to have been extremely touched by this. Tana, who shares six children with the chef, is said to be extremely proud of her children, despite any controversies and showdowns.

Another source close to the family told the Daily Mail: “She isn’t someone who likes confrontation and she has been extremely supportive of her friend Victoria Beckham during her terrible fall-out with her son Brooklyn. It has been very sad for all concerned.”
But Holly, who has split opinion on social media amid the row, took charge of the feature in Vogue magazine, in which photographs of her wedding dresses are published. In the article, the model appeared to make another pointed dig at her new husband Adam Peaty’s estranged relatives.

Beverley Callard has insisted she has not been using jabs to lose weight. The actress, 68, who is best known for her legendary portrayal of former Rovers Return landlady Liz McDonald on Coronation Street, is also a qualified fitness instructor alongside her television career and took to social media on Friday to show off her trim new figure.
Some supporters, however, claimed that she had just changed her diet and exercise regimen to lose weight and that she had used “skinny jabs” as a quick fix.
In the video, Beverley said: “No girls, I am not on a skinny jab. I have worked out my whole life and I have been working my a** off, literally. Although I must say, I would not knock anybody who is on it. Just do what you’ve got to do.” The former I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! star, who was last seen in her signature soap role in 2020, also used the caption of her post to quash the accusations.

She wrote, “Just responding to some of the comments I’ve been receiving recently about my weight… as there have been a lot of them!” I’ve been working my arse off and exercising my entire life, literally! I’m not on any weight loss diets, but each person has their own. Just “clear that up”!
During the height of her television fame in the mid to late 1990s, Beverley released a series of workout videos and also wrote a fitness-themed column for the Mirror. Fans of the Two Pints of Lager and A Packet of Crisps actress rushed to the comments section to throw praise on the star.
One person wrote, “You have always looked amazing @beverleycallard ignore all the comments those who care and follow you know you’ve done it with good nutrition and good exercise. Happy new year to you and keep doing what you’re doing xx”
Another user commented, “Your exercise DVD is still fantastic! You must upload it or create a new one. and another wrote, “I’ve been working out to your DVDs for years. You are my favorite fitness instructor, along with Rosemary Conley. If you ever decide to hold some local classes, I’d be happy to train with you for real.
Beverley and her husband Jon McEwan have since relocated from Manchester to Norfolk and have started running exercise classes there. She declared, “I can’t wait to meet you all,” when she launched them in 2022. Thank you to everyone who has already reached out! Please send me any emails you’ve sent but haven’t yet filled out the questionnaire!

She then appeared as Liz again from 2003 until 2011, and then again from 2013 until 20202. Beveley acknowledged working six days a week and watching a movie from 7 am to 10 pm when she made her final appearance.

Beverley also criticised the producers of the well-known ITV soap, explaining why she doesn’t believe the “scipros are as good as they used to be when she first portrayed Liz in 1989.”
Beverley described her decision to leave in an interview with The Sun as “you’re scared to say no to a job, but the scripts came and I thought I’ve just got to trust my instincts really.” It’s really full on and you have no life, like it used to be when the cast was smaller, because it’s not nine to five anymore, like it’s seven until ten at night. I personally don’t believe the scripts are as good as they are right now, and I think soap operas are overflowing.
