Katie Price is now focused on rebuilding her fortune, which was estimated to have cost an estimated £100 million. She has come to an end to six years of financial turmoil.

Former glamour model Katie Price celebrated overcoming her second bankruptcy on Tuesday – and has vowed to enjoy a healthy financial future.

The mum of five has endured a tumultuous six years of financial struggles, including two bankruptcies. The second of which happened following a significant tax debt of more than £750,000. However, she revealed she has been discharged from this – and is now ready to enjoy successes in the future. In full, Katie’s statement on Tuesday read: “I’m so happy. I can finally move on and leave these bankruptcies behind me, focusing only on the positive. Thank you to everyone who supported me throughout this process.”

The statement comes after Katie was discharged from her first bankruptcy on February 11, 2025. The TV star, originally from Brighton, East Sussex, is now “free to reset and rebuild,” a friend said on Tuesday.

The celebrity’s net worth once exceeded £100 million, but she has experienced difficult times in recent years due to her debt, which includes unpaid income tax, VAT, and other surcharges.

Speaking to The Sun, a source close to Katie said: “She’s been through a lot, and this feels like a massive weight has been lifted off her shoulders. It’s been hanging over her like a cloud, but now she’s free to reset and rebuild. If anyone can make her millions back, it’s Katie.”

Despite setbacks, including a court order to pay OnlyFans 40% of her monthly income until 2027, Katie is now optimistic. She also incurred an arrest warrant after skipping a court appearance related to her finances, but she has since made significant progress in observing bankruptcy laws.

Katie’s attorney, Fieldfisher LLP’s Chris Keane, stated that “at first, Katie didn’t fully understand the bankruptcy process or the repercussions of missing meetings with the Trustee. She has been fully compliant and has been discharged from both bankruptcies, but she has worked with expert insolvency lawyers.

As she sat in line for a hearing to settle her finances, Katie received one of her bankruptcy discharges last month. After first being declared bankrupt in 2019, she was scheduled to answer questions about her finances at a hearing called a public examination.

Although bankruptcy orders typically expire in England and Wales after a year, she was still bound by the terms of her first bankruptcy, which was automatically discharged.

With their son posting about them on social media, Coronation Street fans have been updated on a former cast member who hasn’t appeared on the ITV show for a while.

The son of a former Coronation Street cast member who appeared on the show for decades has shared an update on how she’s doing. They had prompted comments about the actor after sharing memorabilia from their home.

Eileen Derbyshire, 93, is best known for her role as Emily Bishop on the long-running ITV soap opera. She made her debut as the character back in 1961 and then remained on the show for over 50 years before leaving in 2016.

She later made a brief cameo back in 2019. That marked her latest appearance on Corrie and it saw her character Emily feature in a video message for Ken Barlow (played by William Roache) to mark his 80th birthday at the time.

Just a few days ago, Oliver Holt, her son, updated Eileen on X. The sports journalist suggested he had discovered at his mother’s house during a visit and posted a number of photos that included Corrie-related memorabilia.

Someone responded to the question, “Your mother is okay, but I’m loving these memories.” “She’s doing okay, Matthew,” Oliver replied. It’s a bit of a question you have. She’s now 93, so she has some issues that need to be addressed.

Eileen’s former co-star Antony Cotton – who has been on the show since 2003 – also reacted. He wrote: “Hey Oliver. Please give my love to your mum – we miss her very much x.” Eileen’s son replied: “Thanks very much, Antony. I will.”

In response to the post, someone else responded, “A fantastic actress and I’m sure a wonderful mother Ollie.” “Thanks, pal,” Oliver said. Yes, she is a wonderful mother. I’m hoping things will go well with you, mate.

Last week, Oliver had previously posted a number of career-related photos on the platform. A black-and-white image of Eileen posing alongside a number of other actors was included in the cover of the film.

The group featured likes of the late Pat Phoenix, the late Doris Speed and the late Betty Driver. The trio played Elsie Tanner, Annie Walker and Betty Williams respectively.

Oliver wrote in the caption of the framed photo, which was his first post in the series: “Back at my mum’s place. Found this packed away. Halcyon days of Coronation Street.”

As part of Corrie’s celebrations marking her 30th birthday, Eileen and coworkers were recently seen posing outside the fictional pub. In its wrapping-photo, Oliver stated in that post, “Still in its 30th anniversary of the beginning of the Street.”

Another of his posts showcased a newspaper article, dated 1965, which reported on his parents’ marriage. The article announced that Eileen had married her late husband Thomas Holt, who passed away decades later in 2021.

Jacqueline Jossa, who plays Lauren Branning on the BBC show, has released a video of herself with her children following the news that she has broken up with Dan Osborne.

Soap star Jacqueline Jossa was seen enjoying time with her children in a video shared with fans this week. It comes following the news of her split from Dan Osborne.

It was announced over the weekend that Jacqueline, 32, and Dan, 33, have parted ways following speculation about their relationship potentially ending in recent months. A statement about their separation stated that their two children Ella, nine, and Mia, six, remain their “top priority”.

More recently, Jacqueline – who plays Lauren Branning on the BBC soap opera – shared with fans on Tuesday that she was spending time with her daughters. A video posted by the actor on her Instagram Story showed her daughters and two other kids playing a game with Jacqueline.

A group is then turned one-by-one to make noise, usually using just one word, to see if they can be identified correctly. This is a trend on social media, where people are asked to look away from the group at once. Each of Jacqueline’s daughters had to be named based solely on their voices. In the words “My girls,” she wrote next to a white emoji.

Although she initially mistaken two of their friends for them, Jacqueline was able to identify Ella and Mia when she was seen with her eyes closed and facing away from her children during the game. One time, the kids were able to laugh because Jacqueline had a few incorrect guesses.

The separation of Jacqueline and her husband, which was announced a few days later, is now being made public in the video. According to legend, the former couple wed four years later after meeting in 2013. Their two children, Dan’s son Teddy, 11, from a previous relationship, were also included in their family.

Jacqueline and Dan have previously faced rumours of a break-up, including earlier this year. It was however reported over the weekend that they have now split up. As reported at the time, a joint statement shared that Jacqueline and former the Only Way is Essex cast member Dan have each other’s “best interests at heart” as they navigate the situation.

They are managing things in a private manner, according to the statement, and they have chosen to keep their relationships and lives hidden from the general public. They kindly ask for respect and privacy as they navigate this together, the statement continued.

Their children are always in charge, surrounded by both parents’ love and care, which is unchangeable. Above all, Jacqueline and Dan are concerned about the best interests of their children. There won’t be any more comments, according to the statement from last week.

It has since been reported that just hours after the news was announced, Dan was seen beaming without his wedding ring on at an event. He took part in a charity football match, playing at a Sellebrity Soccer event on Sunday at Bognor Regis Town FC.

Jacqueline has also been spotted smiling without her wedding ring following the news. Photos published on Monday showed her appearing to be in good spirits as she headed out of a gym in Essex.

Michael Jackson’s former employee claims he had children and that he had recordings of his sleepovers that could provide information about what transpired at his Neverland estate.

According to some, Michael Jackson may have allegedly recorded videos of his sleepovers with young children. According to a former Jackson’s employee who worked at the late singer’s Neverland ranch, there were cameras in his bedroom and other rooms where the Thriller star had children to stay.

As the new Leaving Neverland 2: Surviving Michael Jackson documentary is shown on Channel 4 tonight, former personal maid Adrian McManus spoke to The Sun about her time working at the Neverland ranch in California between 1990 and 1994.

She says there are tapes “that could change everything” in Wade Robson and James Safechuck’s legal battle with Michael Jackson’s estate that is due to go to court in November 2026.

More than ten years ago, the pair made allegations that Jackson had sexually abused them, and they addressed them in the first-ever 2019 documentary, Leaving Neverland. In the sequel, they discuss their determination to bring a lawsuit against Jackson’s estate for failing to protect them and go over the tactics they have used to fight back.

Wade and James have received praise from documentary viewers for sticking up. On X, someone wrote, “I find these two guys James Safechuck and Wade Robson to be very trustworthy.” And I sincerely hope justice is served to them one day.

His employees were, of course, aware. They didn’t lack intelligence. They simply chose to do what they should, according to a third commentator: “To the people who are supporting Jackson, it is widely accepted by all sides that he shared beds/a bedroom with children. You WOULD NOT be defending them if it were a teacher, a cab driver, a delivery man, or anyone else.

Adrian McManus told the newspaper that she witnessed the singer performing for hours straight without the supervision of a parent and that both men are telling the truth. She claimed that there were sleepovers that may have been filmed, as well as the children’s visits to Jackson’s zoo and the estate’s private cinema.

She claims that no tapes or files were discovered when Neverland was under investigation by police in 1993, and if there were, she would not know what was on them. The 62-year-old said, “I was told that the investigators missed a lot of information that was kept in a security office.” Many files were lost, as were hard drives. They were attempting to protect him, I thought.

They objected to records of the children’s names or when they arrived.

In the 2005 trial against Michael Jackson, Adrian testified that he had not abused his innocence. She later sued his estate and received criticism for her outburst.

In her interview, Adrian also said she felt intimidated while working at Neverland, and that she had to sign a confidentiality agreement. She is currently writing a book about her experiences.

On Channel 4, you can stream Leaving Neverland 2: Surviving Michael Jackson.

The throwback teenage snap from when she was in her native LA when she was in the class of ’99 took to Instagram by Meghan Markle.

Meghan Markle has shared a never seen before photo from her high school days with fans.

The Duchess of Sussex took to Instagram to post the candid throwback picture for her 2.5 million followers to see. It showed her as a teenager standing next to a statue of the Virgin Mary. She tagged her former school in Los Angeles, Immaculate Heart – a Catholic, independent college preparatory school for young women, as there was where the picture was taken.

When your dear friend from middle school or high school sends you something from your Alma mater, it makes your face the most smiley. Go Pandas, folks. Thank you, Sush.

Her school shared the pic first as they congratulated Meghan on her new Netflix show – With Love, Meghan – which was released on the streaming giant earlier this month and has reportedly been commissioned for another series. This week she also announced plans for a new podcast, which will be called Confessions of a Female Founder.

Meghan Markle (’99) congratulates me on the relaunch of her Netflix series and the launch of her new podcast! Our beloved tradition of Mary’s Day is honored by our special throwback photo from her time at Immaculate Heart, according to her former school, “delighted to share.”

The post came as her husband Prince Harry’s visa court documents were released to the public today. However, a lot of it was heavily redacted meaning the application itself – and whether or not he ticked the box admitting he had previously taken drugs, as he confessed in his autobiography, Spare – were not revealed, leaving many questions unanswered.

The Royal may have lied about using marijuana on his visa application, according to conservative US think tank The Heritage Foundation, or, alternatively, received preferential treatment from the Biden administration when he immigrated to the US with LA native Meghan in 2020.

Harry wasn’t given preferential treatment, according to previously unseen documents. Plaintiffs contend that the documents should be made public so that the government could lose trust or determine whether the Duke received preferential treatment. There is no evidence of government misconduct in this speculation by Plaintiffs.

The records, as explained above, do not support such an assertion, but rather demonstrate the legal process used to evaluate and grant immigration benefits in accordance with the Immigration and Nationality Act and applicable rules and regulations.

In February, new US President Donald Trump ruled out deporting Harry, telling The New York Post: “I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible.” Meghan has previously been a vocal critic of former reality star Trump, calling him ‘divisive’ and a ‘misogynist’.

In a Q&amp, A with fans recently, Faye Winter, who was a finalist on Love Island in 2021, was asked for an update on her “skin journey.” She has since responded in a response.

Former Love Island star Faye Winter has shared an update on her skin this week, with her revealing that she’s “really self conscious” over one particular area of her face. And she’s told fans that she is now considering a surgical procedure.

It comes following Faye, 29 – who was a finalist on the ITV2 show in 2021 – having spoken about a skin-related condition in the years since she rose to fame. She’s raised awareness of hyperpigmentation, which involves the development of darker patches of skin, whilst seeking treatment for it.

The former reality TV star was asked for an update on her skin in a Q&A with her followers on Instagram recently. One person asked her on the platform: “What’s the skin journey at the minute – would you get anymore surgery?”

Faye responded by revealing that she has received more plasma skin therapy from AgeJet. In response to earlier discussions about hyperpigmentation, she has previously informed fans that she has received the medication.

The Guide Dogs UK ambassador also revealed in the post this week that she’s considering blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery – which, according to the NHS, is cosmetic surgery to remove excess skin or fat from the eyelids – due to feeling self conscious over one area on her face.

She responded to the fan by saying, “I’ve just had @agejetukandireland done again,” according to her followers. She continued, “I’m considering having a lower blepharoplasty because I’m so concerned about the eye area. I’ll keep you informed.”

It comes just days after Faye mentioned melasma, which is thought to be a form of facial hyperpigmentation, in a post last Thursday. A compilation video was made that featured Faye seeking treatment, as well as skincare brand AlumierMD International and AgeJet in a clip.

She continued, “Until I shared my skin journey, how many of us had melasma and hyperpigmentation.” I’m trying to improve my skin right now with @alumiermd_int, but I thought I’d take you along with @houseofskincareuk as well.

Faye continued, “Alexis has been amazing and has also made me realize how prevalent pigmentation issues are. Although I’m aware that we all try to conceal them and that some of us don’t have “glass skin,” we should try to be more confident and self-assured. Oh, and they obviously don’t test on our furry friends.

It isn’t the first time that Faye has spoken about hyperpigmentation. As reported by OK! magazine at the time, she spoke about the condition in a video that showed her without makeup that was shared last year.

She said at the time, “I didn’t realize how many of us have issues with hyper pigmentation up until yesterday.” She continued, “This is my second time having Agejet done.” I attempted to flog it once, but I felt embarrassed to appear in public with this appearance.

My mother cried when I saw her and I had my entire face done the last time I had my face done, Faye said. It appears worse before it appears better. She attributed years of sun exposure to her hyperpigmentation and warned, “Wear sunscreen kids, try not to get sun damage.”
