Peter Andre was forced to come to the rescue when his eight-year-old son Theo got trapped in a public toilet cubicle during a family holiday in Cyprus

Peter Andre turned into a real-life superhero when he saved his son Theo from being trapped in a toilet cubicle. The Mysterious Girl singer, 52, who shares eight-year-old Theo with wife Emily, along with daughters Amelia and Arabella, was forced to spring into action during their family holiday in Cyprus.

Peter also has a son, Junior, and a daughter, Princess, from his previous marriage to Katie Price, with whom he is currently at odds.

The drama unfolded while the family were enjoying a visit to Camel Park in Mazotos. Young Theo found himself locked inside a public loo, prompting his dad to take swift action. It comes after Princess Andre says she’s ‘independent’ from parents as she breaks silence after Katie Price row.

In true heroic fashion, Peter clambered up the side of the toilet block and managed to squeeze through an open window at the back. He shared the entire incident on Instagram, narrating the situation whilst sporting a pair of flip-flops.

In the video, he explained: “Right guys, we have a bit of a situation here because these are the toilets. This is the door, it’s completely locked from the inside and the outside, and someone can’t get out.”

He then showed Theo, whose face was blurred for privacy, stuck inside the toilet wearing a T-shirt and shorts. The youngster exclaimed: “It’s boiling in here!”.

Thankfully, Peter was able to get inside the toilet facility and rescue Theo by passing him through the gap. Addressing the crowd, he said: “Ladies and gentlemen there’s always ways to get out of these situations, be careful.”

However, the pop star found himself in a bit of a pickle as he struggled to climb back out of the window. One of his children couldn’t resist teasing him, shouting: “You’re embarrassing us dad!”

The Australian singer turned reality star wasn’t stuck for long and freed himself from the predicament. He clearly found the humour in the situation, writing alongside the clip: “Saved the day and I’m still embarrassing.”

Supporters were quick to praise him, with one posting: “In all seriousness, well done superhero dad [clapping emoji].” Another added: “Good on you, Pete.”

It comes after Peter took to social media to address comments made by his former wife, Katie. In a statement shared on his Instagram, he said: “For sixteen years, I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silent has been incredibly frustrating. That ends today.

“The latest comments about my children’s welfare and living arrangements compel me to set the record straight. For well-documented reasons, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood.”

Peter went on to add: “Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations I have yet to address. Those will now be dealt with in the coming months.”

Following Peter’s post, a spokesperson for Katie told the Mirror: “Kate is in a much better and clear headspace and is at peace with the situation, this was in the past and she doesn’t feel the need to bring up tit for tat comments, but more importantly she’s dealing with this the right way and it’s now in her lawyers hands. Kate will no longer be gaslight and bullied as she once was…”

Sean Kingston was sentenced in South Florida on Friday after he was convicted of a $1million fraud scheme, along with his mother, Janice Eleanor Turner. The Beautiful Girls singer, born Kisean Paul Anderson, and his mum were convicted of a conspiracy to commit wire fraud and four counts of wire fraud in March.

He has been sentenced to three and a half years behind bars and was taken into custody immediately. U.S. Judge David Leibowitz also ordered that a restitution hearing should be held within 90 days. Kingston’s sentence is to be followed by three years of supervised release.

Leibowitz also sentenced the singer’s mum to five years in prison last month, while Sean’s sentencing was postponed. The case involved the pair falsely claiming to pay for luxury items, including cars, jewellery, and other high-value goods, by pretending to make bank transfers that were never processed. They managed to fraudulently acquire over $1 million worth of goods and money. 

Sean and Janice’s trial took place from March 24 to March 28 in Broward County, Florida, and concluded with the jury deliberating for approximately three and a half hours before reaching their verdict, according to reports.

They convicted them of conspiracy and multiple counts of wire fraud. The charges involved defrauding a car dealership out of $160,000 (£123,000) for a Cadillac Escalade, stealing nearly $500,000 (£386,000) worth of jewellery, and obtaining other goods like a custom bed valued at $86,000 (£66,000) without paying for them.

Since the trial, Sean had been under house arrest with an electronic tag and had to pay a bond to be released from jail, while his mother remained in federal custody.

Kingston, 35, and his mother were arrested in May 2024 after a SWAT team raided Kingston’s rented mansion in suburban Fort Lauderdale. Turner was taken into custody during the raid, while Kingston was arrested at Fort Irwin, an Army training base in California’s Mojave Desert, where he was performing.

According to court records, Kingston used social media from April 2023 to March 2024 to arrange purchases of high-end merchandise. After negotiating deals, Kingston would invite the sellers to one of his high-end Florida homes and promise to feature them and their products on social media.

Investigators said that when it came time to pay, Kingston or his mother would text the victims fake wire receipts for the luxury merchandise, which included a bulletproof Escalade, watches and a 19-foot (5.9-meter) LED TV, investigators said.

When the funds never cleared, victims often contacted Kingston and Turner repeatedly, but were either never paid or received money only after filing lawsuits or contacting law enforcement.

Kingston, who was born in Florida and raised in Jamaica, shot to fame at age 17 with the 2007 hit “Beautiful Girls,” which laid his lyrics over Ben E. King’s 1961 song “Stand By Me.” His other hits include 2007’s “Take You There” and 2009’s “Fire Burning.”

Scottish comedian Gary Little has died aged 61, it has been confirmed. The award-winning comic had previously been heralded as “one of Scotland’s finest comedians”.

His death was confirmed on social media, with it claimed he died while on a hill climb in Scotland. His cause of death has not yet been revealed.

Tributes were quick to pour in following the news. In an Instagram post, comedy club The Stand in Glasgow praised his “huge personality”. They wrote: “We here at The Stand are utterly devastated to hear the news of the passing of big Gary Little. An incredible comic, huge personality and friend to many.

“We are lost for words, and he will be profoundly and sorely missed. Our thoughts go out to all his family and friends right now.

“There will be many a comic thinking about him tonight, telling stories and raising a glass. He would have liked that.”

And popular podcast The Some Laugh also shared their condolence. They said: “We’re absolutely gutted to learn of the passing of the legend Gary Little.

“Gary was one of the best stand-ups Scotland has ever produced, an absolute powerhouse of a comedian as well as a genuinely lovely guy with a heart of gold.

“It was a pleasure to learn from someone like Gary as we were all coming up on the comedy scene, and his episode and appearance on our live show are up there with the all-time moments of the pod.”

Comedian Jo Caulfield also took to social media to say: “Gary Little was a great comic and an amazing person to spend time with. I will truly miss not seeing you backstage and never hearing that big mischievous laugh.”

And Glaswegian comedian, Darren Connell added: “Scottish comedy lost a legend today — heart-breaking news. Gary was an absolute powerhouse.

“He hosted my first ever gig when I was 18 years old, and after a shocker of a set, he took me aside and told me to keep my head down, work hard, and not let it get to me.”

Gary was due to perform in Aberdeen next month before his sudden death. Among other topics, his stand-up routines tackled themes of mental health and addiction.

His material saw him talk about his personal experience, including his time in prison. The comic had been jailed in the early 90s following a drug dealing charge.

In 2007, he was briefly jailed again. This time for stealing books at a warehouse where he worked as a forklift truck driver. He is said to have made £100,000 from selling the items on eBay.

He had been due to tour with fellow comedian Raymond Mears later this year.

As well as his comedy shows on stage, he created a four-part stand-up series for BBC Radio 4 in 2024. The show was called Gary Little: At Large and he explored life “before, behind and beyond bars”.

Mysterious Girl hitmaker Peter Andre is said to have felt like he needed to release his bombshell statement on ex wife Katie Price as things had become ‘unbearable’

Peter Andre is said to have reached the final straw with his ex-wife, Katie Price, and decided to release his bombshell statement. The Mysterious Girl hitmaker shares his two children, Junior, 20, and Princess, 18, with former glamour model Katie.

They split in 2009 and continued to co-parent their kids while things remained sour between them as all contacted was burned. Things came to boiling point this week when Peter decided to release a scathing message aimed at mum-of-five Katie.

Their relationship entered the spotlight once again as Princess released her debut solo TV project this month. It comes after Princess said she’s ‘independent’ from parents as she breaks silence after Katie Price row.

Peter raged: “For sixteen years, I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silent has been incredibly frustrating. That ends today.

“The latest comments about my children’s welfare and living arrangements compel me to set the record straight. For well-documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood.

“In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement.” He went on: “I have never made this public before, out of respect for my children. In 2011 and 2015, publicly documented court cases found my ex-wife had made false claims.

“She was ordered to pay substantial damages and legal costs, and to apologise to me and my management. The same falsehoods are being repeated today.

“Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations I have yet to address. Those will now be dealt with in the coming months.”

Now, it has been claimed Peter “had” to speak out because things in the family had turned “unbearable”. “Katie lies and lies about Pete, she talks about him and tells lies about the kids all the time and he was sick of it,” a source told the Sun.

“The fact is, she went on her podcast and said that Princess lived with her, and that’s just not true. It’s been a really difficult and upsetting time for the family – she’s goading him and constantly speaking about him, and none of it is true.”

Another source added to the publication: “It really affects everyone – it’s hard for Princess as she loves her mum, but it’s just drama and negativity at every turn.”

“Pete would like nothing more than for Katie to never ever speak about him in public ever again, but she won’t stop. He’s kept a dignified silence for so long, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns legal, as she’s gone too far now. He just wants a harmonious life for his family.”

Following Peter’s post, a spokesperson for Katie told the Mirror: “Kate is in a much better and clear headspace and is at peace with the situation, this was in the past and she doesn’t feel the need to bring up tit for tat comments, but more importantly she’s dealing with this the right way and it’s now in her lawyers hands. Kate will no longer be gaslight and bullied as she once was…”

On Friday, Princess spoke out for the first time as she answered a question about her parents on Snapchat. One fan asked her on the platform: “Does it affect you even now when your mum and dad don’t get on?’

Princess then said in a video on the platform: “To be honest, it doesn’t affect me. At the end of the day, they broke up when I was two years old so I don’t even have any memory of them being together.” Writing on top of the clip, she added: “I love my mum and dad and that’s all that matters xxx.”

The Mirror has contacted Peter and Katie’s representatives for comment.

Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner has revealed she caused the break up of a celebrity couple after making one gesture at a glitzy showbiz bash that ended in an awkward confrontation

Sophie Turner has boldly admitted she was to blame for breaking up a celebrity couple following a run-in at a lavish party. The Game of Thrones actress, 29, shocked fans with the wild confession as she laid it all bare.

She decided to make the revelation while on Late Night with Seth Meyers as she reminisced about her first meeting with the TV host. Sophie said they met over a decade ago at San Diego Comic-Con but confessed her night “quickly went south”.

The actress said she headed to the event’s after party and was excited to let her hair down. It comes after Andy Carroll ‘splits from Lou Teasdale due to her demands’ weeks after public row.

Sophie recalled: “We were going to have a great night… and I can’t name names ’cause I’ll get in trouble… but I had brought my best friend from school days and she saw an actor she absolutely loved and asked if I could just say hi…”

She said she’d never met the unidentified actor before and decided to give him a smile from across the room to break the ice. “And that was it,” Sophie said.

However, things didn’t end there. Sophie continued: “And then later on I see this girl looking at me and she’s a famous actress and I was like ‘I have to go tell her how much she means to me’.

“So I dance on over and she goes, ‘Can you stop f****** flirting with my fiance?’ And I was like, ‘Who’s your fiancé?’ And she points to the guy that I waved at and I still have no idea who this man is.”

Sophie shockingly revealed: “Turns out, they broke their engagement off that night because of my [wave]. I didn’t realise I held this power.”

Earlier this week, Sophie issued a savage response after she was mum-shamed over her kids. She shares daughters, Willa, four, and Delphine, two, with her ex-husband, Joe Jonas.

Sophie, who is reportedly back with her on/off boyfriend, aristocrat, Peregrine Pearson, co-parents her kids with Joe, who lives in LA. However, she was accused of ‘forgetting’ about her daughters by a troll online.

Sharing a photo of herself at Oasis’ gig in London, the Sansa Stark star wrote: “Bucket hats and beers. That’ll do me. Thank you @Levis.” Responding to Sophie, one of her followers said: “Lmfao I think she has forgotten that she has two kids.”

Yet, Sophie shot back: “Ah, I’m so sorry, sometimes, I forget some people can’t think for themselves. So, get this… There’s this crazy thing called shared custody. Maybe, just maybe, they were with their dad that day.”

Sophie was married to Joe from 2019 to 2023 before the singer filed for divorce in September 2023, which kick-started a lengthy and messy custody battle.

EXCLUSIVE: Friends of David and Victoria’s eldest son have hit out at criticism of Nicola Peltz as they fight back following the row over the couple’s ‘second wedding’

Brooklyn Beckham has insisted he is not being held hostage by Nicola Peltz – as friends say how his “heart breaks” over the way his wife is being portrayed. The eldest son of David and Victoria believes his wife is being unfairly maligned in the wake of his parents and extended family not being invited to his wedding vow renewals.

A source said: “It’s so rooted in misogyny that all of the heat for his parents not being invited is on Nicola. Everyone seems to forget that Brooklyn is an adult man and fully capable of speaking out. Nicola would have respected all that he chose. It breaks Brooklyn’s heart to see his wife being painted as this vixen and viper.”

The Lola actress has been accused of isolating her husband from not only his family but his friends too. Many have pointed to the fact that not only were none of his extended family members at the August 2 ceremony – which was officiated by her dad Nelson – but nor seemingly were his UK friends.

Brooklyn has yet to formally address the row. But this week on social media, he gave his clearest sign yet of how he was feeling by liking a comment of an Instagram user who had defended Nicola.

The person had written: “Why is it assumed that she made the decision to exclude them? … If he really wanted his parents there, they would be.”

The Mirror told this week how the rift was so bad between David and Victoria Beckham and their and their daughter in-law that the pair only found out about the vow renewal when they read the news and saw the photos online.

Pals of Nicola and Brooklyn also told how his siblings Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, were also not invited after what they claimed was a series of online barbs.

One said: “Brooklyn’s brothers have been fanning the flames. They’ve openly made fun of and trolled Brooklyn in comments on social media.” But some have questioned why the whole family had to be blacklisted.

The whole Beckham clan – including sister Harper, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins – were left out of the August 2 celebration in the US. As one insider told the Mirror: “Why punish the whole family for what is essentially a fallout with just the mum and dad?”

Pals had claimed it was hard to leave out Harper, 14, who is close to Brooklyn and his grandparents. One said: “They are trying to make the best decisions for them in what are very unfortunate circumstances. Navigating family stuff is hard and it’s ugly.”

The couple still claim to hope for a reconciliation. The pal said: “The door is open. No one wants to see this kind of pain exist. There is always hope. At the end of the day, blood is thicker than water.”
