The therapist and broadcaster shared her take on what’s going on when you experience a ‘confusing’ relationship

Celebs Go Dating’s Anna Williamson has shared advice for anyone dealing with a ‘confusing’ situation in their love life. Taking to her Instagram, the TV dating coach said she often gets questions on the topic.

The therapist and broadcaster shared: “Typically I reflect back exactly what they are telling me…that they already know the answer, and they need to trust in their gut instinct to tell them what their next decision and action should be. People often live in hope that I’m going to tell them something different.

“That by me being an ‘expert’ I might see something more hopeful for them… occasionally I do, but I will always reflect and offer my thoughts honestly (but I never judge) and I don’t tell you just tell you want you want to hear, because you deserve better.”

Anna added: “If somebody is giving you mixed messages, they aren’t committing to wanting to see you, they are being inconsistent and they are leaving things feeling vague and noncommittal…. then they are not ready. They are not ready for a relationship and they aren’t ready for you.

“We often want to make things ‘fit’…because we like them, they’re ’mostly nice’, and we ‘can’t be bothered’ to start the dating process again…. We can make excuses for them, give them the benefit of the doubt one too many times… but essentially you can’t lie to yourself.

“I know it’s hard, I know it stings, but you really are worth more. Don’t settle for breadcrumbs, you want to be going for the whole goddamn club sandwich!!”

Expanding on her advice in her video, Anna added: “If somebody wants to see you, they’ll let you know. If you’re a priority that they wanna make in their life, they’ll show you. If, however, all they do is text you but don’t actually make any plans, they really don’t wanna see you that much. There’s no confusing behaviour here. They’re not giving you mixed signals or leading you on.

“You’re confusing yourself by making assumptions on things that just aren’t there. You’re thinking, oh, well, he said this, so maybe it means this, or perhaps it was this that he means. You’re getting yourself into a complete tizz because you’re guessing instead of actually looking at the hard facts.

“I get so many people telling me that the person they’re texting is really confusing them, and they just don’t get where they stand in the whole situation. But let me tell you, dating isn’t confusing most of the time.”

She said: “The only thing that’s confusing is how we confuse ourselves because we won’t let people show us that they’re not interested. Just let them show you what they do or don’t want. If they wanna be with you, they will make plans to see you. They won’t just keep texting and never arrange to see you. And the biggest one, if they wanted to commit to you, then they would.

Katie Price has publicly reached out to her ex-husband Peter Andre and offered a truce following the fallout surrounding her daughter Princess’ ITV documentary series.

The 47 year old glamour model has now suggested she and ex-husband Peter, 52, have a sit down chat following the 16 year long feud between the former married couple, who share Junior and Princess Andre together. Katie and Peter haven’t spoken since their divorce, following the breakdown of their marriage in 2009.

Recently tensions appeared to rise between the two camps when Katie spoke out in her podcast, The Katie Price Show, about her upset over not being involved in her daughter Princess’ new ITV series, The Princess Diaries, as the 18 year old’s career reaches new heights. It comes after Princess Andre says she’s ‘independent’ from parents as she breaks silence after Katie Price row.

Last week, Katie said she was “very very upset” as she claimed she had been left out of her daughter’s latest career milestones and claimed she had pleaded to take part in the TV series but was told no. Following the backlash from her comments, in which she faced accusations of jealousy and attention seeking, the former Page 3 star has spoken out once again and insisted she only wants to be there to support her teenage daughter – and even suggested a meeting with Peter to hash out any issues.

Katie has now suggested a sit down talk with Peter, in which she said: “I feel like I’ve missed out on so much and it’s so not fair to bring Princess as piggy in the middle so I think it’s about time all of us adults just sit down and talk about what their beef is with me and just get over it. Life would be such more at peace.”

In the latest episode of the podcast, she also shared hopes for the former husband and wife to support their children together.

Katie suggested: “There’s no reason why both parents can’t be there to support her.”

Meanwhile, she also insisted she does not want a piece of Princess’ flourishing fame after Katie was accused of being jealous of her daughter’s successful and rising career.

She insisted: “I have to clarify this; I don’t care that I’m not in Princess’ show I don’t need to raise my profile by being in Princess’ show I do enough stuff. I’m in the press every day.

“All what I want to do is just whatever my daughter does – and it’s the same with Junior – I don’t care if I’m in the background, but I wanna watch her photoshoots, I wanna watch her do her signings – because that’s what I did and my mum and you [sister Sophie Price] and nan used to come along and support and I’m proud of her and I just wanna be there with her.”

While Katie said she ‘doesn’t expect to play happy families’ she hopes to be more involved in her daughter’s achievements. She said: “I’m not saying I have to stand with them and play happy families. I’ve missed out so much with Princess. I haven’t watched the show but people have told me how proud I should be of the kids and how they, Princess, does talk highly of me all the way through it. So although I’m not in the show she speaks about me all the time which is really sweet.”

Peter Andre has remained stoically silent in the wake of Katie’s podcast rants of late and has been focussing on supporting his children as they both featured on the ITV documentary series, which was released on Sunday.

Katie’s latest comments come after she revealed she has never had a sit down, face to face chat with ex-husband Peter since their split. Katie and Peter met on 2004’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! and married in 2005 before things came to an end in 2009.

Earlier this year, while on Paul C Brunson’s podcast, We Need To Talk, Katie revealed she had not spoken to her ex since their relationship broke down. She said earlier this year: “Until this day, me and Pete have never sat down and spoken about it.

“It’s all through lawyers. I’ve never sat down with him, we probably would’ve sorted it out but we were kept apart.”

She added: “We broke up because he thought I was having an affair with my dressage rider, and I’ve never slept with him.

“I just kept my horse there, and I was happy keeping my horse there, and he was married.
“But when me and Pete split, because he used to keep saying, ‘That’s it. I’ve had enough. I’ve had enough’. It got to a point where I went, ‘Well f****** divorce me’.”

Known for his ‘Lego style’ bowl cut, gleaming white teeth and huge sunglasses, Ibiza Final Boss Jack Kay looks completely different in new snaps from his younger years

Viral raver Jack Kay looks unrecognisable in an incredible unearthed snap that reveals exactly what he looked like before his ‘Ibiza Final Boss’ transformation.

It’s hard to imagine the 26-year-old Geordie without his signature ‘Lego’ haircut, gleaming ‘Turkey teeth’ and signature oversized shades, but his pre-Ibiza look has finally been uncovered.

In the photo, baby-faced Jack is seen enjoying a pint with his mates – but it’s tough to pick him out in the line-up of lads. The party animal – who went viral for his ‘Battle of Hastings’ bob while throwing shapes on the White Isle – has his arm round a pal as the group pose for a picture in front of a fruit machine.

Jack sports a short, back and sides haircut, but it is miles away from the medium skin fade that has become synonymous with the viral star since a video of him dancing gained more than 26 million views on TikTok.

It is unclear when the snap – which was shared with The Mirror and the Daily Star – was taken, but he appears in his late teens. In another image taken more recently, his sculpted facial hair is visible and his barnet is longer on top, but it’s still not his final Ibiza Boss form.

It comes as “Boss fever” ramped up across the UK and Ibiza. Jack has used his newfound viral stardom to launch nightclub tours on the party island and has even been seen filming a brief video with controversial adult star Bonnie Blue.

He is also said to be launching a music career to take his fame to new heights. Jack featured on a new dance track released on Spotify this week after he signed with a management team.

Meanwhile, a hardcore fan has had a tattoo of his face on their leg and an artist in Nottingham has painted a mural of Jack’s likeness near a skatepark.

Jack shot to fame when Zero Six West Ibiza posted footage on TikTok of him dancing at a club in a chain and black tank top holding a drink. It was viewed by millions and sparked hundreds of memes and jokes.

Companies like Greggs and EasyJet soon made marketing parodies of the meme and he was dubbed the “Ibiza Final boss”, a reference to the last and typically most difficult enemy to face in a video game. Jack now has more than 120,000 followers on Instagram and more than 800,000 likes on TikTok.

But it’s not all ‘eat sleep, rave repeat’ for the Geordie lad, as there’s apparently trouble in paradise for the star. He’s reportedly fighting to save his relationship with his glamorous girlfriend Alisha Cook, who ‘dumped’ him over his partying ways.

The ‘break-up’ allegedly came while Jack was out in Ibiza, but just before he found viral fame.

The raver had reportedly already been “skating on thin ice” before the Ibiza trip, which ultimately tipped their dynamic over the edge.

A friend of Jack’s told Mail Online: “Alisha called it off when Jack went to Ibiza with the lads. They’d been together for almost a year, and he was living at her place, but things hadn’t been right for months.

“His car is still on her drive, she threw all his clothes in the back of it. She doesn’t want him around anymore. She’s had inklings that something was not right for a while. She just wants to wash her hands of him. Alisha is so beautiful. No one is quite sure what she saw in him.”

After their dramatic ‘split’, the couple seemed to kiss and make up just as Jack’s notoriety skyrocketed. Alisha seemed to confirm that they are back on when she posted TikToks last week, naming herself as his girlfriend.
