Following their break-up, Katie Price’s former flame JJ Slater has wiped all traces of their shared snaps from his Instagram.

The star of Married At First Sight continues to follow his ex on the social media platform and mother-of-five Katie even spent Boxing Day with JJ’s family.

A group photo depicted them beaming and appearing content, while a subsequent snap showed a laid-back JJ sharing a meal with Katie’s son Harvey, 23. Before these festive photos, the duo hadn’t featured together in any social media posts for half a year, since they celebrated JJ’s birthday.

Katie confirmed their split and disclosed that the relationship had been “over months” before Christmas.

On the latest episode of her podcast, The Katie Price Show, she declared: “I don’t wanna waste my time. You know, if I’m not loved up and it’s not going, these are mistakes I’ve made in the past.

“You stay, just go along, and then it ends up getting nasty. Yeah. And I don’t want that. So I’d rather have nipped it in the bud sooner rather than later. But yeah, I was there at Christmas, because, you know, the family and stuff, because it was already arranged, but it was over ages ago, really.”

Speaking to her sister Sophie Price on the latest episode of their podcast The Katie Price Show, which is tiled The Truth Behind The Split, Katie revealed: “Me and JJ, our relationship for months wasn’t right but he’s such a nice guy. I cannot fault him in anyway possible, there was no ultimatum – I think they said because I wouldn’t marry him or have a baby, that is a load of rubbish. And, if I’m honest, I love the guy but I’m not in love with him and what’s the point in carrying on the relationship?

“The family love him, all the family love him but I’m the one going out with him so it become like a best friend, basically. In a relationship you wanna have everything and it just wasnt there for me but you know that. We actually split up a few months ago and then I said how I felt about it, obviously if it would change and it just never did.”

Meanwhile, JJ has been hitting the gym post-split and revealed he’s already started shedding weight.

In a frank video filmed in his car after a workout session earlier this week, JJ confessed: “About ten days ago I pu He revealed that he’s been training with Kieran from Konditioning Coaching, an online fitness coach. “He’s an online coach. I’ve never had one before but I thought that I’d give it a go.

“We’re 10 days in, and I’m 2.8kg down which is obviously a blinder. Yeah he holds me accountable, he sorts out my nutrition, sorts out my workouts, makes sure I’m doing my steps, my cardio. And if I’m not doing it he’ll call me up and be like J what are you doing.”

JJ concluded his message by expressing his excitement about sharing his journey with his followers. “If you’re not sure about getting an online coach maybe seeing my journey might help you decide on that but yeah, shout out Kieran and more to come on this.”

In the video, JJ also tagged Kieran, referring to him as the “brains behind the operation.”

Katie and JJ started their romance in late 2023, after her break up with ex-fiancé Carl Woods. It’s reported that she first reached out to him following his stint on the E4 show, although he had previously messaged Katie years earlier, complimenting her looks.

Ant and Dec have announced a huge new project this morning – almost two years after Saturday Night Takeaway came to an end.

The TV presenters wrapped their final Saturday Night Takeaway show in April 2024, but still face pleas from fans to come back to our screens – despite fronting I’m A Celebrity… and Tipping Point. Now, the duo have made a huge announcement on Saturday Night Takeaway’s official Instagram and YouTube pages to reveal a new project – which includes the pair hosting their own podcast.

The presenting duo, who have been working together for more than 30 years, have today launched Belta Box, a brand new entertainment channel, which will house new content including new digital projects while also taking a look back at some of their career highlights.

Meanwhile, the platform will also feature their brand new podcast, Hanging Out With Ant and Dec, which launches on January 22. Speaking about the exciting new venture, 50 year old Ant said: “We’ve spent our whole careers celebrating great entertainment, so launching Belta Box feels like the natural next step. Alongside our new podcast, we’re excited to create a space packed with fun, feel-good content that brings people together—no matter where they’re watching or listening.”

While his pal Dec, 50, added: “What better way to launch Belta Box than with our first ever podcast series! We asked our audience if we did a podcast what would they like it be about, and they said we just want you guys to hang out. So that’s what we’re doing! Ant & I don’t get to hang out as much as we used to, so it’s perfect for us.”

The pair shared a video on their newly-transformed YouTube and Instagram channels, which had changed its name from Saturday Night Takeaway to Belta Box. In it, Dec begins: “Hi everyone, we’ve got a bit of an announcement for you.”

Ant adds: “Well we know you like Saturday Night Takeaway,” as Dec interjects: “It’d be a bit weird if you didn’t because you’ve subscribed to the channel.” “That is true,” Ant agrees. “But Takeaway is not currently on air.”

Dec then reveals: “But because we’re so very kind…” as Ant adds: “On top of all the Saturday Night Takeaway content on this channel we want to give you more.” “So,” Dec interjects. “We are changing this channel to…” He then catches a big box with the words ‘Belta Box’ before the pair both reveal the new name.

Ant then explains: “Belta Box will be packed with feel-good entertainment curated by experts.” Dec replies: “Well, us…” “Yeah, us,” Ant agrees. “And we’ll be bringing you more from our archive including the best of SMTV Live, Byker Grove, coming later this year, and tonnes more.” Dec adds: “Not only that, Belta Box will also bring you lots of brand new entertainment, too.” Ant then reveals: “And, we’re excited to announce that on the 22nd of January we’re launching our first show for Belta Box, which will be…”

The pair are then seen taking a big jump in the air before landing in a new part of a studio. Dec then announces: “Our brand new podcast! Hanging Out With Ant and Dec!” Ant asks viewers: “Do you like it? Looks good right? And we cannot wait for you to join us for it.”

“So,” Dec says. “Whether you’re here for a trip down memory lane…” before Ant interjects: “Or for fresh, original content featuring two lovable, handsome…” As Dec jokes: “And humble Geordies!”

“We’re excited to welcome you to…” Ant says before they both say: “Belta Box!” The news was met with praise and excitement from fans in the comments section as one said: “Ant & Dec podcast sounds incredible”, while another added: “RIP Saturday Night Takeaway YouTube channel. It is great to see more Saturday Night Takeaway content and even SMTV. Looking forward to what comes next.”

A third said: “So excited”, while another said: “Rip Saturday night takeaway youtube channel BUT YAY IM SO EXCITED FOR NEW STUFF”.

David and Victoria Beckham have been given the green light for permission to make changes to their Cotswolds home – but there have been objections to the power couple’s plans

View 3 Images

David and Victoria Beckham are celebrating a planning win over an extension to their Cotswolds estate.

The pair are said to have been at war with local residents over plans to construct a new driveway so they don’t have share access.

The couple plan to transform a farm track into a second access road leading directly to their £12million countryside haven in Oxfordshire that only they will use.

The duo found themselves in hot water with local council officials after forging ahead with an extension without planning permission.

Planners have now given the thumbs up for a “change of use” of the track, turning it into an 800ft-long driveway. The current route is shared with guests of the celebrity hotspot Soho Farmhouse, a swanky members’ club and “rural escape” frequented by stars such as the Clooneys, Cara Delevingne, Daisy Lowe and Molly-Mae Hague.

However, one local resident “strongly objected” to the Beckhams’ proposal for secondary access to their Grade II listed estate, which features a tennis court, treehouse, pond and kitchen garden. In a letter, she questioned: “The house already has one perfectly serviceable access road so why is another stretch of tarmac land through the woods deemed a good idea? Ramblers use the lane and they should be left undisturbed by giant SUVs lumbering up and down. Please do not allow this application.”

Another objector penned: “Many locally have said enough is enough and it’s about time the planners indicated this to the applicants. Many think the Beckhams have been given far too much on a very small amount of land.”

As part of the plans, new entrance gates will be constructed at both ends of the loose gravel track, with proposed tree planting on either side. The development also includes a wildflower meadow and installations such as bird boxes, bug hotels, bat boxes, and hedgehog houses to enhance biodiversity.

Documents submitted to the local council indicate that construction work on the track extension commenced in June 2024, but is yet to be completed. The Beckhams also possess a £40million listed mansion in London, complete with an indoor pool, gym, and wine cellar.

Their planning agent stated: “The scheme integrates discreetly with its agricultural context and results in no significant landscape or visual harm. The works respond to operational, safety and amenity needs, while being carefully designed to conserve the rural, heritage and landscape character of the area.”

Tucked away in the Cotswolds, the Beckham’s country retreat has all the trappings of a cosy hideaway. Victoria, 51, and David, 50, purchased the Grade II listed home in December 2016 for a reported £6.15million.

However, since moving in a decade ago, the Beckhams have invested heavily in refurbishing their country haven. This includes constructing a lake nearly three-quarters the size of a football pitch, complete with its own island. The property also boasts an impressive orchard and several outbuildings.

The power couple, parents to Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14, reportedly have a property empire of around. In addition to their properties in the Cotswolds and London, they also own a mega-mansion in Miami.

The Beckhams are one of the world ’s most recognisable families and have a combined net worth of £500million, according to The Sunday Times Rich List. As David is co-owner of Major League Soccer side Inter Miami, the Beckhams spend a lot of their time between the US and their UK properties.

David and Victoria have provided behind-the-scenes looks at their family life through their respective Netflix documentaries, with Victoria’s being released on the streaming platform earlier this year. The documentaries also gave a glimpse into the Beckhams’ property portfolio, which is worth a combined £111m.

The Beckham family first moved stateside after David joined LA Galaxy in 2007. Almost two decades on, the former Manchester United star remains strongly linked to the country through Inter Miami, a team he helped co-found that now boasts Lionel Messi as an integral part of their squad.

In October 2024, The Sun reported that the Beckhams had paid £55m in cash for a huge Miami mansion, which overlooks Biscayne Bay. The 14,270sqft property boasts nine bedrooms and 13 bathrooms, according to the Daily Mail, as well as a home cinema, personal spa, and swimming pool.

The kitchen is built to chef-standard, with ample outdoor spaces to entertain guests. Situated on the coast, the property also has mooring space for a yacht.

In addition to their Florida mansion, the Beckhams also own a penthouse in Miami. The 10,000sqft property was bought for £18m in 2020.

Sky Sports broadcaster Dan Bardell has been left infuriated after he became aware that footage of himself was being used in a promotional clip by Reform UK

A Sky Sports star has hit out at his inclusion in a mocking campaign video by Nigel Farage’s Reform.

The right-wing party uploaded a clip making light of the drama surrounding former Shadow Secretary of State, Robert Jenrick being sacked by Kemi Badenoch before defecting to Reform.

A video, shared on the Reform UK page on X (formerly Twitter), compiled clips from various sports deadline-day bulletins and made light of the “absolutely bonkers” and “unusual” day.

The video clip featured the likes of pundits Aidan Magee, Harry Redknapp, Chris Kamara and Dan Bardell. But Sky Sports’ Dan has since taken to social media himself to hit out at the clip and demanded that he be removed entirely.

“I don’t want to be associated with Nigel Farage, can I be removed please?” he said in view of his 50,700 followers. When one X user told Dan to “stick to football,” he replied: “I was, and then I’ve ended up on this video.” Many users were also quick to offer Dan advice.

One asked: “Can they use footage from @SkySports and presenters/contributors without prior consent?” “Did they pay you to use your image? If not,” said a second. While a third penned: “Well-done Dan. Unfair you were used without consent. It’s an implicit endorsement which you have not consented to. A side effect of being on the public domain.”

Another commented: “Reform. Where failed Tories go to keep on riding the gravy train.” While a fifth typed: “It’s not deadline day.” Farage and his team have not responded to the post from Dan.

On Thursday, Tory boss Badenoch accused Jenrick of plotting to inflict the maximum damage on her. Mrs Badenoch learned of the plot after documents were left lying around by a member of his team; it emerged earlier in the day.

Appearing alongside Mr Farage, treacherous Mr Jenrick whined that Britain was broken and the Tories had failed voters. There had been an awkward moment when his new boss announced his defection – but it took a long time for him to emerge.

Mr Jenrick repeatedly refused to personally apologise for his own record as he became the 24th ex-Tory MP to switch. Asked by The Mirror whether Reform members would accept a new MP who bragged about opening asylum hotels when he was a minister, Mr Farage said: “I’m getting people in who are apologetic, who are ashamed of what they’ve done in the past, recognised what went wrong and are determined to get it right.”

He admitted that on Thursday morning, before Mrs Badenoch released the startling accusation, he had only been 60% sure that the defection would actually go ahead. Labour branded Mr Jenrick a shameless chancer as he became the latest Conservative to defect to Mr Farage’s party.

It is an uneasy alliance after the duo has publicly traded blows. Mr Farage told supporters in August last year: “My advice to you would be to say this man is a fraud.

“This man is not to be trusted. And certainly his party aren’t either.” Mr Farage also previously shared a quote by Mr Jenrick bragging about opening asylum hotels. In 2022, while he was immigration minister, Mr Jenrick said: “More hotels have been coming online almost every month throughout the whole year. What I have done is procure even more.”

The Mirror has approached Reform UK and Sky Sports for comment.

Ashton Kutcher has made a rare comment about his ex-wife Demi Moore, sharing a glimpse into how he feels about his former flame.

The That ’70s show star, 47, and Ghost actress Demi, 63, were together from 2003, before they wed in 2005 and eventually split in 2011 before their divorce was finalised in 2013. The pair have generally kept tight-lipped about their romance.

But, in 2019, Demi made some savage remarks about her romance with Ashton in her memoir, Inside Out, in which she accused her ex-husband of repeatedly being unfaithful. She also claimed he broke her sobriety of 20 years. In the book, she claimed she found out about Ashton’s cheating through media reports. She wrote: “Because we had brought a third party into our relationship, Ashton said, that blurred the lines and, to some extent, justified what he’d do.”

Despite her bombshell comments, Demi’s ex Ashton has recently made a rare gushing comment about his ex-wife as he heaped praised over her recent performance in The Substance. The 2024 horror movie sees Demi star as Elisabeth Sparkle, who is a fading performer and decides to inject herself with a mysterious serum, which promises to restore her youth, after she’s fired from her aerobics show. However, things soon take a horrifying turn. Demi received an Oscar nomination for the role, while she scooped a Critics Choice Award and Screen Actors Guild Award for the role.

Praising his ex-wife’s performance, Ashton recently told Entertainment Tonight: “I mean, one, Demi’s performance in The Substance, obviously she got extraordinary accolades. I’m so proud of her. She killed it.” Ashton gushed over Demi’s performance after comparisons between The Substance and his upcoming project, The Beauty, were drawn.

The Beauty, which is created by Ryan Murphy and Matt Hodgson, is a TV series which sees FBI agent Cooper Madsen, played by Evan Peters, who investigates a a sexually transmitted virus that causes physical perfection but has lethal consequences. Ashton plays a tech billionaire who unleashes the drug, called The Beauty, for the disease onto the fashion world.

Ashton and Demi’s romance was a high-profile one, gaining a lot of media attention over the age-gap between the pair. Ashton was 25 while Demi was 40 when they first met. Writing about the period in her life in her 2019 book, Demi said: “I was a 40-year-old who had a big life.

“And Ashton’s adult life was just beginning — I didn’t see all that because I was inside of it. I just felt like a 15-year-old girl hoping somebody liked me,” she admitted. Meanwhile, she told Diane Sawyer in an interview around the time: “I think that I had been responsible for so much of my life, and all of a sudden this window opened up where I was safe.

“I had money. He loved my children. It wasn’t something he feared. He seemed to be comfortable with the enormity of the ex-husband [Willis]. I mean, you know, I felt like I was not coming with baggage. I had trunks,” she said. Before her romance with Ashton, Demi was married to Bruce Willis. She is currently single. Meanwhile Ashton is married to Family Guy star Mila Kunis, who he tied the knot with in 2015.
