Junior Andre has opened up about his relationship with his mum and dad, Katie Price and Peter Andre, as he takes a serious next step in his relationship with his older girlfriend

At just 20 years old, Junior Andre already has the makings of a stellar career – and now he’s taken a serious next step with his girlfriend Jasmine Orr. The son of Katie Price and Peter Andre has just moved in with the influencer, 24, in a one-bedroom apartment in Surrey, and insists he’s more than ready to stand on his own two feet.

Singer Junior previously split his time between the houses of his dad and stepmum, Emily MacDonagh, and his mum Katie, and in an exclusive chat he reveals what thinks of his famous parents now he’s in a serious relationship of his own. “I mean, I’m my own man, aren’t I?,” he said, on the topic of getting life advice from Katie or Mysterious Girl singer Peter.

He continued: “So, I learn for myself and I think that’s the way everyone does it. “It’s the same way my parents did it, you know, just life experience. You live and you learn.”

Junior’s mum and dad split in 2009 after four years together, and him and his younger sister Princess, now 18, split their time between the two houses. When it comes to his romance with Jasmine, which started last year after the pair met at a work event, Junior told OK! magazine they have both been “really supportive”.

“They were really happy for us,” he said. “My parents were both there if we needed anything while moving, and we’re still going to be going for barbecues at Dad’s, or to my mum’s for movie nights. Family is so important. We’re going to host them here, too, once everything is settled.”

Katie opened up recently about her experience of co-parenting Junior and Princess following her and Peter’s split, telling dating guru Paul C Brunson that they’d never “spoken” about their split since they separated.

Last year she also revealed how her role of mum was changing as the two were getting older and launching their own careers.

Speaking to her sister Sophie, 35, on an episode of her Katie Price Show podcast, the former glamour model said: “Although they live with me, because they’re going away soon and Junior’s just been doing night stuff, working nights, I haven’t seen much of them.”

Meanwhile, Princess, who turned 18 last month, has been filming her own ITV2 documentary and while Peter and Emily will feature, it’s understood Katie will not.

On a more recent episode of her podcast, Katie addressed the rumours and said: “Just ‘cos everyone knows she’s doing this documentary. I’m not in. But we’ll talk about that nearer the time. Certain people don’t think it’s good for Princess to be seen with me. Certain people who used to look after me.”

Her rise to fame from humble beginnings has been remarkable – but it didn’t stop GK Barry from feeling ‘terrified’ at the prospect of her first shows on Loose Women

GK Barry went from posting hilariously unfiltered content on TikTok during the Covid lockdowns in 2020, to launching her podcast, Saving Grace in 2022. Last year she made history by becoming the youngest panellist to join ITV chatshow Loose Women – something the in-demand 25-year-old says is a ‘dream come true’ for her.

Now a regular panellist on the female-led show, GK – real name Grace Keeling, admits during an exclusive chat with OK! that though she feels right at home now, it was a rather scary prospect stepping into the studio to do her first few shows, with the thought of debating with one particular panellist making her more nervous than others.

“I was terrified. I begged them, please wait till I’m in the groove before you put me on the panel with Janet Street-Porter!”, reveals the witty star, with trademark honesty. “Then I did my show with her and she was adorable. But I was so scared at the beginning, thinking, this audience doesn’t know me — I’m some young woman off TikTok. But now I love it.”

Grace, who was born in 1996 – the same year that Loose Women first came on-air, adds: “Sitting with Kaye [Adams], Denise [Welch]… Loose has me, Olivia [Attwood], Frankie [Bridge] giving a different perspective. It’s fascinating, they’re all such interesting women. They’ve lived a life, you know?”

And the social media sensation, who went public with her footballer girlfriend Ella Rutherford last year, admits that she does battle with imposter syndrome, from time to time., when she thinks of her incredible path to fame.

“I started this whole thing by accident, I expected nothing — though when I was a kid I did want to be a Pussycat Doll, which didn’t quite work out. Being in the public eye was an amazing accident.

“Even in the jungle I’d be like, ‘What exactly have I done to be sitting here beside Tulisa and Coleen Rooney?’ I’m not sure, but I’m not complaining.”

She may have done an awful lot into her 25 years, but Grace has no intention of slowing down, and has a few burning ambitions she’d like to tick off. Her girlfriend would like her to do The Traitors, but she admits she’d swiftly get the boot as she “always looks guilty when she’s not”.

Grace admits that she would also love to be a guest on the sofa on The Graham Norton Show — but her absolute dream, she says, is to one day have her very own chat show, in the style of Alan Carr: Chatty Man.

At 20 years old, Junior Andre says he’s his own man, and reveals why he rejects relationship advice from his famous mum and dad, Katie Price and Peter Andre

Junior Andre is the product of one of of the most iconic celebrity marriages of all time, but has revealed he rejects relationship advice from his famous parents. Now aged 20, the son of Peter Andre and Katie Price has just taken a big step with his own girlfriend, Jasmine Orr, and the couple have set up home in their own flat in Surrey.

Junior met influencer Jasmine, 24, at a work event last April, and while he’s loving their new set-up, admits it’s strange being away from his siblings. “I’ve grown up with them in the house. So you know, I’m a big part of the family and I’m the big bro. They’ve missed me and my siblings are missing annoying me as well, which I’m happy to have got away from!!”

Junior introduced his stunning girlfriend to his family – including stepmum Emily MacDonagh, his 18-year-old sister Princess and half-siblings Amelia, 11, Theo, nine, and Arabella, 15 months – last year, but wasn’t keen to hear any relationship advice from Peter or Katie because “I’m my own man”, he says.

Now 20, Junior has lived in the limelight virtually his whole, but says he refuses to take relationship advice from his famous parents, including his mum, former glamour model Katie.

“I mean, I’m my own man, aren’t I?,” he said. “So, I learn for myself and I think that’s the way everyone does it. It’s the same way my parents did it, you know, just life experience. You live and you learn.”

He continued, “Parents are there to talk to, but I don’t really take advice from them because you’re the one in the relationship, you’re the one making decisions.”

Having grown up in the spotlight because of his famous parents, Junior also admits he wouldn’t have chosen a public relationship, but the attention on him and Jasmine was “inevitable”.

“I would have ideally been in a private relationship,” he shared. “But that’s impossible in my family. So you know, it was kind of inevitable. People think they know you and your business, which can be hard, but we just go with it.”

Despite his initial reservations about his relationship being public, Junior says he wouldn’t rule out his own reality show – a la Katie & Peter , and the new ITV2 show focusing on his sister Princess.

“Never say never,” he said. “We’d be open to it, but it would have to be real. I don’t like cheesy, fake stuff, so that would be the only prerequisite, but we’ll see! We want to do a lot of travelling in the next year, so that’s our main focus.”

GK Barry is a force of nature and her star on the rise, as she opens up exclusively about her partner Ella, the primetime TV show she’s co-hosting and her rise from ‘freaky kid’ to podcast queen

GK Barry wasn’t sure if anyone would bother watching when she started putting out her brilliantly unfiltered content on TikTok during the Covid lockdowns in 2020. But bothered they were — and in 2022, she launched her podcast, Saving Grace.

Fast forward to 2025, and the 25-year-old is one of the most sought-after women on television. Fresh from a stint on I’m A Celebrity last year, she’s now a regular panellist on Loose Women and soon to be co-host of a new primetime ITV show. Here, the relatable star, real name Grace Keeling, talks about being “a bit of a weirdo” as a kid, her plans for proposing to girlfriend Ella Rutherford, and her latest exciting TV show.

“We’re two peas in a pod,” beams the podcast queen, softening when we ask about home life with her girlfriend, Ipswich Town midfielder Ella, 25, who she went public with last summer. “We’re constantly laughing at each other. She’s my wife!” she adds. They’re not married yet, however — though discussions are underway.

“Ella’s always like, ‘When are you proposing, then?’ She asked me to be her girlfriend, so it’s definitely me getting on the knee. But we need to explore more countries, see which we like, then I can propose there. “I’m not proposing in Skegness. She just needs to be patient — but patience isn’t one of Ella’s virtues!”

Now “flourishing in her WAG era” according to Ella, Grace confesses she had little clue about football when they first met. “I knew there were sweaty people that would kick a ball about and sometimes swear. Now, I know what a corner means. I know they sell prosecco in the bar… and I do like planning my outfits around the kit.”

Grace admits her I’m A Celebrity stint introduced her to a whole new audience. “The day me and Ella got back from Australia we went to get pie and mash — obviously — home comforts. And it was like a scene out of a film. Mums didn’t care about their daughters, they wanted a selfie for themselves. It was amazing. But I do struggle sometimes, as I’m actually quite shy. I love when people come and say hi, it’s just me. I’m an anxious gal!”

Grace also battles imposter syndrome. “I started this whole thing by accident, I expected nothing — though when I was a kid I did want to be a Pussycat Doll, which didn’t quite work out. Being in the public eye was an amazing accident. Even in the jungle I’d be like, ‘What exactly have I done to be sitting here beside Tulisa and Coleen Rooney?’ I’m not sure, but I’m not complaining.”

Looking back at her experiences in Australia she admits it feels like a “fever dream”. “I lived in a jungle for three weeks and had a shower in a cave. I can’t wrap my head around that. It’s one of the best things I ever did but it was so tough.”

Part of a WhatsApp group with her jungle mates, Grace stays in touch most with Reverend “The Rev” Richard Coles, Melvin Odoom, Dean McCullough, Tulisa and Maura Higgins.

Of the famous vicar she says fondly, “I love that man. I sometimes forget when I text him he doesn’t have an iPhone. So I’m sending emojis and he goes, ‘I can’t see the little blocks you’re sending.’ I think he has an old Nokia, bless him. He’s so wholesome.” She also teases a potential show with The Rev, but that’s “the only hint” she’ll give right now.

And tech-obsessed Grace admits the jungle taught her an important lesson. “I can’t switch off from social media. But it made me realise, if I want to take a minute, I can. Nothing disastrous will happen.” She adds, laughing, “The jungle also taught me I should never be trusted to cook rice and beans, or there’s a strong chance I’ll accidentally set fire to the place…”

Meanwhile, her podcast Saving Grace is still firing on all cylinders — and Grace can’t quite believe what started as banter with mates has become such a huge success. “I didn’t think anyone would watch it. I was getting my mates on. Now we have amazing celebrity guests.”

One of her favourites to date is comedian Katherine Ryan. “I love this woman. When she came on it was such a surreal moment. Rob Beckett, too — he’s a comedian I always watched. We stay in contact, it’s really nice.”

And there’s no topic off-bounds. Grace recalls, “We’ve spoken about vagina surgery, insane drunken moments, the craziest place they’ve had sex… unfortunately nothing’s off the cards.”

She’s taking the podcast — and her signature chaos — on a UK tour, Jungle Fever, from August to more than 16 locations nationwide, and jokes that it’ll be like an “oversold hen do with lots of audience participation, a Bushtucker trial and some very special guests”.

But that’s not the only career update. Grace is also set to appear this August on ITV primetime show Celebrity Sabotage alongside Joel Dommett, Judi Love and Sam Thompson, and admits she spent the whole filming process “crying laughing”.

Explaining the show’s premise, she says, “We’re all in mission HQ and we are sabotaging. Each week, members of the public come in thinking they’re taking part in an ITV show similar to some ITV shows you might know — some dating, some betrayal, some baking — but then, we have real celebrity guests hosting these fake shows.

“Every time we get a successful sabotage, we win them loads of money. It’s so humbling. We’re dressing up as bushes, hedges… We’re in different costumes every day. I’ve never been near so many twigs in certain areas.”

The star became Loose Women ’s youngest ever panellist last year, something she describes as a dream come true — though her first few shows were scary. “I was terrified. I begged them, please wait till I’m in the groove before you put me on the panel with Janet Street-Porter! I did my show with her and she was adorable. But I was so scared at the beginning, thinking this audience doesn’t know me — I’m some young woman off TikTok. But now I love it.

“Sitting with Kaye [Adams], Denise [Welch]… Loose has me, Olivia [Attwood], Frankie [Bridge] giving a different perspective. It’s fascinating, they’re such interesting women. They’ve lived a life.”

There are downsides to Grace’s rising fame, however, such as online trolls. “There’s also added pressure when you get bigger, as some people look up to you. I’ve got a young female audience, and with that comes responsibility. So I did feel I had to fix up in that way.

“I had a lot of comments about my skin during the jungle and how much it helped younger people seeing me on TV with my spots out, so I make sure to post without make-up too, so my followers see another side to photo shoots and glam.

Grace is a busy lady — she’s also collaborating with winemaker Echo Falls on a campaign that highlights the importance of female friendship, and she says it’s the wine she’s been drinking with her girlfriends since the “dawn of time”.

Female friends are central in her life, she adds. Her perfect girlie get-together would involve a daytime bottomless brunch with a game of Uno and a good gossip.

As for burning ambitions, Grace still has a few. Her girlfriend would like her to do The Traitors, but she admits she’d swiftly get the boot as she “always looks guilty when she’s not”. She would also love to be a guest on The Graham Norton Show — but her dream is to one day have her very own chat show, in the style of Alan Carr: Chatty Man .

It’s a far cry from the little girl who, growing up, she says, was “a bit weird and try-hard” and would get nasty comments from kids at school. She honed her talents at making others laugh in order to survive.

“Little Grace was such a freak. I wanted to be Evel Knievel and had this vicious bob — shorter at the back, longer at the front. I made Dad set me up a ramp in the garden which was 2cm off the floor and I’d jump off it. I’d get him to film me like I was doing my own talk show, chatting absolute waffle to the camera. So I’d say, if you have a kid like I was — don’t worry, because they might go into the jungle in the future!”

Grace admits it initially took her parents a while to come on board with her launching a career on TikTok. “When I left uni I told them I was going to do TikTok full time and my mum was like, ‘Are you?! I’m not sure. You need a back-up, this isn’t going to last long.’ Even my mates were like, ‘What are you doing?!’ and I was like, ‘Bear with…’ I was determined.”

As her fanbase began to grow and people stopped her on the street, her parents realised she was making a success of it — and now they couldn’t be prouder of how far their daughter has come.

“Mum will be at the supermarket checkout and go, ‘Have you got TikTok? Follow my daughter, GK Barry — you probably know her,” she laughs. “It’s cute — but it’s also mortifying. People are like, ‘Met your mum, she made me follow you.’ And at my dad’s work, he has them all watching my podcast or Loose Women .”

Grace has no regrets, not even about some of the more out-there videos uploaded to TikTok over the years. “I’ve made mistakes and will again but there’s nothing I haven’t learnt from, so no regrets. Apart from wearing green eyeshadow in 2016. That was an awful idea.”

Dieter Brummer, who played Shane Parrish in Home and Away, was a huge soap icon when he became famous in the 1990s – but struggled with fame and met a tragic end

Australian heartthrob Dieter Brummer was best known for his role as Shane in Home and Away. With his blonde hair, perfect tan, adorable dimples and pearly white teeth, he won over millions of viewers, including up to eight million in the UK for each episode of the soap.

He starred alongside Melissa George, who played Angel, and together they became one of the most beloved couples on the soap. Their characters’ storyline included a school-age proposal, much to the shock and surprise of Summer Bay’s older residents.

However, their on-screen romance was marred by tragedy, with Angel being temporarily paralysed after being hit by Alf (Ray Meagher), and Shane being knocked off his motorbike. Despite initially recovering, Shane tragically died of septicaemia, leaving Angel to be taken under the wing of Pippa (Vanessa Downing).

Melissa George, who played Angel, welcomed her third child in March last year, at the age of 47. Meanwhile, Tristan Bancks, whok played his on-screen friend Tug, now writes award-winning children’s books.

In the 1990s, Dieter graced the covers of numerous teen magazines and won two Australian TV Logie awards for his performances. After leaving Summer Bay in 1996 following 557 episodes, he appeared in the hospital drama Medivac and later returned to soaps in the short-lived 2001 Sky TV soap Crash Palace, as well as Home and Away rival Neighbours, playing Troy Miller from 2011 to 2012, reports OK!.

However, life wasn’t always smooth sailing for Dieter, who later admitted to having a strained relationship with co-star Melissa off-screen.

In 2019, he spilled to Woman’s Day that the romance with his co-star on Home and Away wasn’t what it seemed: “We may have been love interests on the show but the chemistry was far from real. Mel was incredibly ambitious right from the outset. I don’t think she had much time for the cast of Home and Away.”

He then made it clear: “We had to look like the perfect darling couple in public. It wasn’t like anything off screen. It was all on screen.”

Opening up about his battles with fame, reminiscent of Neighbours’ icon Paul Keane who portrayed Des, he laid bare his feelings, saying: “It can be very fickle. You’re hot one moment and then you’re not the next. You’d have to just deal with it in any way you can.”

Going further, he shared: “I think I’d experienced so much fame during those years on Home and Away that I did just want to take a break from it and literally try and experience a life as Joe Bloggs and live like normal people do.”

Turning away from acting, Dieter trained as a skyscraper window cleaner and reveled in the anonymity that came with his new trade.

Yet, despite finding joy outside of the limelight, his happiness took an abrupt hit. Just as he was prepping for a fresh window cleaning gig, Australia’s New South Wales government clamped down on Covid, stopped construction dead, plunging him into gloom and joblessness.

Then, four years ago on 24 July 2021, admirers were left heartbroken by the news that the former pin-up had tragically taken his own life at his parents’ house in Sydney, aged just 45.

Following the harrowing news, his family issued a poignant statement: “We lost our handsome, talented, funny, complicated and beloved Dieter on Saturday morning.

“He has left a massive hole in our lives and our world will never be the same.”

Despite a multitude of fans grieving his loss, a mere 10 individuals were present at his funeral, a consequence of strict lockdown measures.

The Manchester City boss was in the crowd at Heaton Park on Friday night as Oasis played their first homecoming gig in the city since 2005 and his daughter captured a very special moment on video

Pep Guardiola enjoyed a special father-daughter moment with Maria at Oasis’ first homecoming gig in Heaton Park.

Oasis kicked off the first of their Heaton Park comeback shows last night. The five nights are the Gallagher brothers first time playing in their hometown since 2009. The band wowed fans with a nostalgic setlist of their greatest hits, culminating in a spectacular fireworks display that lit up the night sky.

Among the crowd was Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola and his daughter who shared a video on Instagram showing the pair singing along to ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’ together. The Manchester City manager received several shoutouts during the night, including one from Liam Gallagher, who said: “I’d like to dedicate this to the greatest f***** manager of all time”.

Pep also took a photo with Noel’s and Liam’s children, shared on Gene’s Instagram page. Wearing a retro Manchester City kit and casual denim shorts, Pep looked like a typical concert-going dad as he raised his drink for the photo, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Before the show, a message on the huge screens read: ‘This is not a drill’, followed by a montage of Oasis reunion rumours, newspaper headlines, and finally, the confirmation from last August. As the crowd erupted into cheers, a voice announced: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over.”

The adoring crowd let out a deafening roar as Manchester’s favourite sons took the stage, arms raised and hands clasped together. “Manchester this is it, Manchester in the area,” Liam Gallagher roared as he and his brother Noel led a triumphant Oasis reunion gig.

Before their electrifying comeback at Cardiff earlier in July 2025, the last time Oasis had performed together was back at V Festival in August 2009, ending on a high note with ‘I Am The Walrus’.

Formed in the heart of Manchester in 1991, Oasis quickly became synonymous with the Britpop movement, achieving global fame and influencing countless artists with their seven chart-topping albums over two decades.

The Gallagher brothers, Liam and Noel, have always been at the centre of the band’s success and controversies, known for their captivating performances and songwriting prowess, as well as their notorious sibling rivalry that has provided endless headlines.

Following Oasis’s split in 2009, the Gallaghers went their separate ways, fronting their own bands, Beady Eye and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, respectively.
