Katie Price’s family are worried about the former model turned reality star due to her ongoing weight loss, which she has spoken openly about and the root cause of it

Katie Price’s concerned family have engaged in honest talks about her well-being and weight loss. It comes after the former model turned reality star looked unsteady on her feet while stepping out with friends on Monday night.

The 47-year-old stepped out at a launch event for The Only Way Is Essex star Yasmin Oukhellou’s latest business venture in Hertfordshire earlier this week. But after staying for just 20 minutes, Katie was seen exiting the party with two friends.

But Katie, who has been extremely open about her weight issues in recent years, appeared frail as she wore a pair of brown see-through leggings, which she rocked with a matching top. Her tattooed mid-riff took centre stage as she made her way home from the event while wearing a pair of heeled sandals and oversized sunglasses.

Now, a source close to Katie has expressed their concern over her weight loss and admits that the family have “honest” conversations with her about the star’s well-being. Speaking to the Mirror, a source said: “They do share their concerns with Kate and have open, honest conversations with her about how she’s feeling – including her mental health and her weight loss.

“Those conversations come from a place of love, care and support, and they remain private within the family. What people too often forget is just how much Kate has been through and how much she has already overcome. Her well-being is, and always will be, the priority, and it’s something she is actively working on.”

Responding to recent coverage from alleged friends of Kate who said that her weight loss was “absolutely devastating” and was extremely severe, our source added: “It was quite frankly completely unnecessary.

“It was cruel, hurtful and deeply insensitive, and it reduced a very real, very personal journey into a sensationalised narrative. There was no consideration for the impact those words might have, not just on Kate, but on her family too.”

In the past, Katie has been extremely open about the pain she has endured over the years, including her mental health, post-traumatic stress disorder, body dysmorphia and depression. Speaking previously, the star said: “When I was in the Priory, my therapist said: ‘Kate, we’ve never known anyone to have so many traumatic events happen to them.’ And I’m still here, coping.”

She has also been diagnosed with C-PTSD (complex post-traumatic stress disorder), which she opened up about in her Channel 4 documentary, Katie Price: Trauma and Me. But while the star has faced several hurdles in her life, she has since found herself coming out on top and regularly engages with therapy to help process her thoughts.

Her weight loss, though, she says, could be down to medical issues and her desire to want to lose weight after gruelling rounds of IVF. Speaking last month, she explained it could be down to a past health scare. “The reason I’m going to the doctors is because I keep losing weight and I don’t know why. So that’s that,” she told fans on social media.

She explained that it could be linked to a previous cancer scare after she was diagnosed with soft tissue cancer, known as leiomyosarcoma, in her finger, while she was pregnant with her eldest son, Harvey.

Elsewhere, on Rob Moore’s Disruptor’s podcast, she explained: “Yes, I’ve lost weight. Yes, that’s what I’ve wanted to do, I’ve wanted to lose weight.” She added: “The past three, four years ago when I broke my feet and I was in a wheelchair for 10 months because they said I’d never walk again, and obviously you put weight on being in a wheelchair.

“And then I did all the IVF stuff, that also puts on weight. So yeah, I did put on weight, and I hated it, I felt uncomfortable, and it wasn’t me. Now I’ve gone back, now the IVF that’s all come out, and I’m more active because I could do more because of my feet, and I’m horse riding again, then naturally, I’m going back athletic again.”

Helen Flanagan has seemingly had enough of her ex Scott Sinclair after letting her feelings be known when he missed their son’s nativity

View 2 Images

Helen Flanagan has cut another tie with ex Scott Sinclair as their bitter feud escalates. The former Coronation Street star was left raging on Tuesday evening and was sure to let her feelings about her ex be loudly heard as she laid into him on her Instagram.

She snapped at footballer Scott, calling him a “piece of s**t” and hitting out at him for missing their son’s school nativity play. It came as Scott shared an array of snaps from his weekend at the Formula 1 in Abu Dhabi.

The lavish uploads showed his views of the race course, drinks with friends and yacht. He captioned the post: “What a weekend-Abu Dhabi F1”

But Helen was far from impressed. The actress, who shares three children with Scott, swiftly reposted his picture onto her stories. In her fume, she claimed Scott had missed their youngest son Charlie’s school play.

She wrote: “You really are a piece of s*** @scotty_sinclair how dare you not turn up to Charlie’s nativity”. She followed the dig with a picture of her and Charlie and said he was the ‘best boy’.

Now, it appears the outburst has proven to be the final straw for Helen. She has seemingly stopped following Scott on the social media platform.

It could be that Helen as blocked her ex as it appears as though Scott is no longer following her either. He does, however, still follow their ‘Sinclair Home’ account. The page had been used to document their home renovations.

Scott and Helen share three children; Matilda, 10, Delilah, seven, and Charlie, four. The former couple separated in 2022 after 13 years together.

Helen candidly opened up on their separation earlier this year. She admitted the duo tried to make things work, but simply couldn’t. She said at the time: “Me and Scott really loved each other, but we were always quietly breaking up and then getting back together.

“So it had been a long time coming. In the end, it was me who decided. I’ll always be sad it didn’t work out and we still have love for each other, but we’re happier apart.”

Speaking to The Sun previously, she added: “Break-ups are so sad, and if you can deal with it in a way where you’re on good terms, it’s better for your mental health and 100% better for the kids.”

However, she admitted the pair often had clashes. She went on: “Don’t get me wrong, sometimes we still end up telling each other to f**k off!

“But we’ve managed to keep things quite nice and we’ve been fair to each other. It’s helped that our families get on and I have a good relationship with his mum.”

Oscar winner Dame Judi Dench goes on a festive journey into her family history to discover whether one of her ancestors ever crossed paths with her hero, William Shakespeare.

Oscar winner Dame Judi Dench will be turning detective this Christmas in a mission to discover if one of her ancestors met her hero William Shakespeare.

In Channel 4 documentary, Shakespeare, My Family and Me – airing on Boxing Day – she searches Danish archives to see if her eight times great grandfather met the bard in 1606.

Laughing out loud, she recalls her own colourful mishaps down the years acting in Shakespeare’s most famous plays.

She says: “I remember when I played Portia in The Merchant of Venice at Stratford-upon-Avon with my husband Michael [Williams], I got one of the words wrong in the script and ended up saying ‘erection’.

“We had a wind band about to play on stage with us and they left as they were embarrassed. It was exquisite agony. I was surprised I did not get the sack afterwards.

“Also, my wig flew off one night when I was in Twelfth Night. It was a very dark wig with a head-dress attached and it just went flying.”

Now 91, she has acted alongside a gallery of stars and fondly recalls playing Cleopatra to Sir Anthony Hopkins’ Mark Anthony.

“I absolutely adored it,” she says. “Every night I used to haul Tony up and he used to die in my lap, as he was playing Mark Anthony. After he died on stage he used to whisper to me ‘Now, I am going for a nice cup of tea’ and that would be the whole of act five.

“I love Shakespeare, but I have fallen over in nearly every play I have done.It is something to do with my balance.

“And I have had bad reviews. Once when I played Juliet in Romeo & Juliet one critic wrote ‘she conveyed about as much as an apple in a Warwickshire orchard’.”

But, since she first stepped on stage at The Old Vic in 1957 in Shakespeare’s Hamlet, the multi-award winning actress has more than redeemed herself.Most famous with younger audiences as MI6 boss M in seven James Bond films, she says with thespians of her generation the edict was “the show must always go on.”

She says: “When I started at the Oxford Playhouse, you did more than one role at a time.

“We would do a night at Stratford and there was this taxi driver and he used to drive me to London. There was no motorway then, it was like the A34 or whatever it was and we used to think nothing of it. It was exciting just to be working.”

Dame Judi says there was never a question of pulling out of a performance.“You can’t say ‘I don’t feel like it today’. You can’t do that,” she says.

“I remember when there was the Asian flu in the 1950s. I remember coming on as Ophelia in Hamlet and I cried the whole way through the scene, but I got through it.”

Passionate about theatre, she continues: “There are very few plays I have done that I have not enjoyed.”

“Theatre is my passion. It is a learning curve, but the learning starts with the audience.

“When we do a comedy and we don’t get the laughs that is when we know something is wrong and that is why living theatre is important. It is vital to life.”

But her most famous comedy role was undoubtedly in the TV series A Fine Romance, opposite her husband Michael Williams.She recalls a funny moment off-set, saying: “Once coming down Shaftesbury Avene we had a row in the car. I was looking one way and Michael was looking the other, then this woman came up to the car window singing A Fine Romance!”

Sadly, her failing eyesight due to the condition macular degeneration, means she is less likely to watch live performances these days.

She says: “When I go the theatre I can’t see. Hopeless.

“I have lost my eyesight now, so I can’t read now. I have to learn [a script] by somebody teaching it to me another way. I can’t see and I can’t read a book.”

But Dame Judi looks back on her career and the talented people she has worked with extremely fondly.

She says: “I wanted to be a designer when I started out. That is what I fancied being. I went to York Art School and my parents took me to see Michael Redgrave in King Lear at Stratford-upon-Avon and the set was simply sublime.

“There was an enormous circle that went round with a big rock in the middle. There was a throne and a cave and I thought, ‘this is what design should be and I don’t have the facility for it.’”

Realising she wouldn’t make it as a designer, she decided to follow her brother into acting.

She says: “My father was a doctor and there was no television then and my mother was wonderful at playing the piano. I did get to Central School of Speech and Drama and I went straight to the Old Vic and that was my training ground.

“My first role at The Old Vic was Ophelia. I learnt a lot and they kept me on.”

Like her millions of fans, Dame Judi will be enjoying festive TV over Christmas, although she has a very critical companion in her pet parrot Sweetheart – a gift from her partner, conservationist David Mills.

She says: “We watch television sometimes and the parrot suddenly goes ‘You noisy cow’. Not at me, but to the television!.

“It is a spectacular parrot, an African grey which David gave me for Christmas.”

Sweetheart belonged to a man living in Maidstone for 14 years, and Dame Judi continues: “She is called Sweetheart and is a female but talks like a man. She travels between David and me.”

Dame Judi will also mark the passing of friends she has last over the Christmas period, by spending time in the garden of her Surrey home, where she has planted memorial trees in their honour.

She also has a very unusual statue of Queen Victoria. She explains: “The statue was given to me. It is higher than me. I can’t possibly reach it. After we did the movie Victoria and Abdul we were in India and there was an enormous statue of Queen Victoria and it is made of papier mache.

“After the film they said ‘do you want that statue?’ And I said no’ but then I said ‘oh, just a minute.’ She is in my garden, where she stands with an orb and sceptre and the birds like her a lot. She is quite hidden, but I know she is there.

“I plant trees for all my friends who have died and there was a beautiful designer on that film who I was fond of and was very, very clever. He died startlingly young, so beside Queen Victoria I have a tree for him. So he is there as well. It is a very very nice thing to have.”
