After being accused of raping and sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl, Kuran Hayler has denied the charge and has now appeared in court for his first hearing.
Kieran Hayler, Katie Price’s ex-husband, shows up at Crawley Magistrates Court.
After being charged with three counts of rape and one count of sexual assault against a girl, who was 13 at the time of the alleged crimes, Kieran Hayler appeared in court.
As he braved the snow, Katie Price’s ex-husband donned a black coat, a pair of black pants, and a white shirt as he entered court.
The crimes are said to have occurred between June and October 2016. Hayler’s first hearing of the case took place today at Crawley magistrates.
A Hayler’s legal representative stated that he denied the allegations, but he hasn’t made any comments directly on them. They continued, “Kieran Hayler firmly refutes the allegations made against him in their entirety.”
Mr. Hayler is fully engaged, has cooperated with the police throughout the investigation, and will continue to do so. He anticipates that the court system will rule in his favor and that his name will be found innocent.
We can confirm that Kieran Hayler, 38, of Northchapel, West Sussex, has been charged with three counts of rape and one count of sexual assault against a 13-year-old girl, according to a statement released last month from Sussex Police.
The crimes are said to have occurred between June 1 and October 13, 2016. Hayler is still being investigated and will make an appearance in court on November 19 in Crawley. As our inquiries continue, the girl has received support from specially trained officers despite the girl’s legal status.

Following the targeting of a railway line from Warsaw to Ukraine, Poland has announced it will close its last Russian consulate in Gdansk, Poland’s northern city. Moscow is to blame for the incident.
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski told journalists on Wednesday, “I have decided to withdraw my consent for the operation of the Russian consulate in Gdansk.”

According to Polish news agency PAP, Sikorski claimed to have repeatedly warned Russia that if it did not put an end to its hostility toward Poland, its diplomatic and consular presence would be further diminished.
The embassy in Warsaw will be the only Russian diplomatic base in Poland as a result of this decision.

The Kremlin blasted Poland for “Russophobia” in response to the claim.
“Polish relations have completely deteriorated. When asked about the consulate closure, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, “The Polish authorities’ desire to reduce any possibility of consular or diplomatic relations are probably at the forefront of this deterioration.”
“This has nothing to do with common sense,” one might say, “but one can only express regret here.”
Russians’ Maria Zakharova, a spokeswoman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was later quoted by Russian state news agency TASS as saying that Moscow would reduce Poland’s diplomatic and consular presence in Russia.
Unprecedented sabotage
The weekend explosion on a line connecting Warsaw and the Ukraine border was described as an “unprecedented act of sabotage,” according to Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
Tusk revealed to the Polish parliament on Tuesday that the two suspects had long-standing ties to the Russian intelligence.
We now know that two Ukrainians were hired by the Russian Secret Service to carry out the blast of the Polish railroad. The perpetrators’ identities are also known, and they eluded Poland and made way for Belarus.
He claimed that the pair had already left Poland and had already entered Belarus, but that their identities were not known and that the investigation was still pending.
According to data gathered by The Associated Press news agency, Western officials have accused Russia and its proxies of organizing numerous attacks and other incidents in Europe since the country’s invasion of Ukraine more than three years ago.
After Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz missed dad David’s big occasion at Windsor Castle, two of the Beckham children were caught having a “relaxing” lunch together in London.

In the wake of the ongoing family feud with US-based Brooklyn, Romeo Beckham and his brother Cruz were spotted having lunch at a London restaurant. A few days after their father, David Beckham, received his new knighthood, Cruz and Romeo, 23, were seen together with Romeo’s girlfriend Kim Turnball at the Phat Phuc Noodle Bar on The King’s Road.
Cruz, 20, had his driving license suspended this week after being caught speeding, according to a fellow diner, who claimed the trio “queued like everyone else” at the well-known eatery on November 7. The lunchtime meeting also confirmed rumors that Romeo and model Kim’s relationship had come back to life after their rumored breakup six months ago.

Cruz was unhurried and engaging in conversation with his friends, according to a fellow customer who witnessed the trio at the Chelsea restaurant. After I arrived, he was waiting for about 20 minutes. He waited patiently, just like everyone else. The bar seemed to know him.
Three days after their footballer father David was made into Sir David Beckham, the meal was served. At the ceremony held at Windsor Castle, the 50-year-old former England captain was presented with the knighthood for his contributions to sport and charity.
The award was announced in this summer’s King’s Birthday Honours list, and the former Manchester United ace was supported on the day by Spice Girl-turned-fashion mogul Victoria, 51, children Romeo, Cruz and Harper, and his proud parents, Sandra and Ted.
They don’t seem to be going anywhere, with the first rumors about a family feud coming three years ago, which were brought on by a disagreement over a wedding dress. Brooklyn and model and actress Nicola haven’t attended any of David’s knighthood, which is the most recent of a long line of significant events.
In May, the couple were noticeably missing from David’s 50th birthday bash, and they were also absent from Victoria’s red carpet premiere for her recent Netflix docuseries, Victoria Beckham.
Brooklyn made it clear that his priorities lie with his wife in a Glamour interview earlier this summer, stating that “there will always be people who talk.” We must be content together, which is crucial.
Nicola, 30, also made an open statement about her relationship with her own parents, saying, “My parents taught me: Always tell the truth, we’ll help you.” Being open and honest is still deeply embedded in my heart today. You don’t ever feel regret it. On the contrary, true friendship only develops when there is genuine connection, or genuine communication.
With the entire family present, aside from his eldest son Brooklyn, who has yet to publicly acknowledge his father’s award on social media, David enjoyed a celebratory bash at one of Gordon Ramsay’s Michelin-starred restaurants in London following the investiture.
David acknowledged the accomplishments of the day and praised Victoria for her King Charles-inspired attire, saying that he “couldn’t be prouder.”
He told the PA that he was quite impressed with my suit because he had influenced many of my outfits over the years, including this one.

The former England captain explained that “it was something my wife made me.” When I looked at old photos of him wearing morning suits when he was still a young child, I thought, “OK, that’s what I want to wear,” so I gave it to my wife, and she did.
The Masked Singer host is taking on hosting duties for brand-new jungle spin-off series I’m A Celebrity…Unpacked – and he’s bringing his wife, Hannah Cooper and their son along

Almost a decade on from facing his own gruesome Bushtucker Trials, comedian and presenter Joel Dommett is heading back to the jungle – but this time, he says, with a note of relief, he won’t be the one eating weird bugs. The Masked Singer host is taking on hosting duties for brand-new jungle spin-off series I’m A Celebrity…Unpacked – and as he tells OK! Magazine, he’s bringing his wife, model Hannah Cooper, 36, and their two-year-old along for the ride.
The couple welcomed son Wilde in September 2023, but despite the name, Joel admits with a grin that their little man is as laid-back as they come, so shouldn’t be too phased by his jungle adventures. “He’s very chill. And I do realise, we’re very lucky with that. And I suspect if we were to have another, they would be absolute nightmares!”, he laughs.

And Joel, who recently celebrated his 40th birthday, seems to have taken to fatherhood like a duck to water. “He’s so fun. I just love hanging out with him. It’s such a mad thing where I just feel like my wife’s given birth to a little best friend – it’s just the dream.”
While the TV star admits he’s a tad “bored of singing The Postman Pat theme tune”, his adorable son makes up for it, by constantly making him laugh. “This is fun at the moment. He is obsessed with trucks but can’t say the word truck, and instead he says the word c**k. So that’s funny.“
“And so he just points at big trucks and says big c**k really loud in the High Street. It’s just hilarious, whilst also being, like, embarrassing for me and his mother.”
Joel and Hannah’s love story began back in 2016, when Hannah cheekily slid into his DMs after he finished as runner-up on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! The pair instantly hit it off, and Joel popped the question, just a year later. In 2019, they tied the knot in a stunning beachfront ceremony in Mykonos. Welcoming baby Wilde a few years later was the perfect next chapter, he admits.
And while Joel says he doesn’t have any big secret when it comes to a happy marriage, he does believe that “honesty is key”. “I think it’s also taking time to speak to each other and properly communicate at the end of the day, which is difficult when you’re a parent”.
Asked if the challenges of parenting ever cause friction between them, Joel confesses, “Luckily, Hannah and I are pretty much on the same wavelength, but parenting is so all-consuming. The whole thing is hard, it’s just exhausting to be honest. We haven’t got the energy to fight, even if we wanted to fight.”
Meanwhile, after almost a decade after his own jungle stint where he shared the campsite with the likes of Emily Atack, Carol Vorderman and eventual jungle queen Scarlett Moffatt, Joel is feeling the full circle moment as he returns not as a contestant but as a host of the sister show.
“I’m really excited to be back. I can’t quite believe it’s coming up to 10 years since I did the jungle myself. It’s really, really nice to round off those 10 years and to be still going back there after so long, it is amazing. And seeing fresh people going in and seeing their enjoyment (and non- enjoyment as well)… it’s just so lovely to see it through their eyes.”
Joel took part in the 16th series and finished as the runner-up, with Adam Thomas placing third and Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt winning the crown. Sweetly describing his Unpacked co-host Kemi Rogers as “so easy to work with”, Joel admits, their show is much harder to create than how it comes across on the telly.
“In reality, you are travelling there in the mad weather, for a start. Last year we had crazy floods and you’re writing the show about a show that’s not finished yet. Also, there’s the time zone difference. I’m getting up at midnight and then working through the night until 10 o’clock in the morning.”
Despite the trials, tribulations and teamwork involved in creating the show in Australia and getting it into our homes in the UK, Joel says, “It’s genuinely an incredible team, and it’s like a proper army operation to get that TV show into your living room. It’s really, really amazing.”
The Masked Singer presenter also believes I’m A Celeb remains one of the absolute highlights of our TV viewing throughout the year – a show unlike any other.
“What is amazing about the show is the different people’s reactions to the trials and the hunger. Different people’s reactions are what make that show so special. You have certain people who just take it in their stride. You have other people who just immediately say ‘I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here’. You have other people who scream, scream, scream and others who just close their eyes and zone out.
“It just brings these celebrities out of their comfort zone, and you see a side of them that you would never see on any other show. It’s just so captivating and ridiculous and fun”
Joking that his favourite contestant during his own stint is ‘himself’, he then admits with a giggle that his favourite camp-mate was one of his best friends, actor Adam Thomas.
“I just thought he was the perfect campmate. He was so joyful, and his laugh was so infectious, and he sort of kept the camp really buoyant and fun, and also had that side of vulnerability about him.
“That’s what I think is a perfect campmate, someone who shows that vulnerable side, but brings true joy at the same time.”

And would Joel be willing to step in as a contestant for the second time for an I’m A Celeb All Stars series, if he were asked? “Never say never”, he smiles. “It would definitely get me off my mobile phone for a while!”
