Katie Price has publicly apologised to Myleene Klass after launching a bitter tirade about the presenter’s MBE — only to later admit she had misunderstood the reason behind the award.
The reality star, 47, had taken aim at Myleene during her recent UK tour with close friend Kerry Katona, branding her a “clone” and questioning why she had been recognised by the King.
The accusations were made after Katie learned that Myleene had received an MBE earlier this year, but that she incorrectly assumed it was for “playing the classical piano” during her live performance.
However, in the latest episode of The Katie Price Show podcast, she acknowledged that she had spoken out without knowing the full story. Katie’s sister Sophie confronted her directly, noting that both she and their mother had “told her off” for the remarks.
Katie repeated the remarks she had made on tour, saying, “Right, on my show I just done with Kerry, there was a quote, and it wasn’t aimed at Myleene, an old quote of mine,”I’ve never been given one when I do a lot for charity and stuff. “
“And I said people like Myleene Klass, what is she known for? Playing the classical piano, because I don’t read about Myleene, and I’ve met Myleene and I’ve always liked Myleene. I think I did Loose Women with her sometimes, and it wasn’t a direct dig at her.”
She continued, explaining that her “clone” comment was made in response to the number of TV stars who work together as a management team rather than Myleene.
“What I’m saying is people like Myleene Klass have the same management as most of the TV people out there…I call them all the clones…they’re all under the same umbrella,” she said.
Then, Price admitted that she had no idea that Katie’s own heartfelt concern for miscarriage care and women’s health was the subject of her MBE.
She continued, “Now I never apologize unless I’m in the wrong.” I had no idea how she ended up in this life, but now I know why. I give her my apologies and praise for her actions in preventing miscarriages.
“I sincerely apologize to Myleene because it benefits her.” Please excuse me, as it will teach me to ignore it.
The Mirror has contacted Myleene Klass’s publicity team for comment. Katie’s apology comes just days after she repeated similar criticisms in Closer magazine, where she said: “I’m not against this for her, but why the f**k has Myleene Klass got an MBE? For playing the classical piano? This industry is so corrupt. They have the same managers, they’re all clones…”
Price’s remarks come after a few turbulent years in her own life. She recently revealed that her health struggles and a breakdown in 2021 left her feeling “sad and lonely,” prompting her to cut ties with people she no longer trusted.

On February 7 in Dubai, Alfie Davis of Great Britain and Usman Nurmagomedov of Russia will contest the PFL lightweight title.
The 33-year-old Davis will win $500, 000 (£369, 000) in his first fight since defeating Gadzhi Rabadanov in the PFL lightweight tournament final in August.
Nurmagomedov, 27, made his fourth comeback against Irishman Paul Hughes last month, winning a close fight.
The winner of the match at Coca-Cola Arena will be Nurmagomedov, who is cousin to former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Three months prior, Davis and Nurmagomedov’s teammate Radadanov had a major upset.
He described the prize money he won from the tournament as “life-changing” and said it was his best career so far.
After 2022’s featherweight Brendan Loughnane and women’s flyweight Dakota Ditcheva last year, Davis is the third Briton to win an annual PFL championship.
The headliner in Dubai will be Usman Nurmagomedov’s third appearance, but this time around he faces a new challenge, according to PFL CEO John Martin. “Usman Nurmagomedov is an undefeated and dominant superstar,” he said.
Numerous international news outlets claim that the US and Russia have come up with a new strategy to end the Russian-Ukraine conflict.
Under the plan, which covers 28 points, Kyiv would be required to concede weapons and territory.

The news comes one day before Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is due to meet US army officials in Kyiv on Thursday.
What we currently know about the plan and what concessions Kyiv would have to make.
Is this a formal proposal, or not?
No. Russia has even refuted the existence of such a peace plan, and the US has not yet made an official announcement about it.
However, unnamed sources have been cited in reports from a number of news outlets. US digital news outlet Axios and the United Kingdom’s Financial Times newspaper were the first to report details of the plan on Wednesday.
The US has “signalled” to Zelenskyy, according to two unnamed sources with knowledge of the situation who later obtained a Reuters quote from a source close to the investigation. According to other reports, this would be exchanged for US security guarantees.
The Financial Times quoted an unnamed official saying the proposal is “heavily tilted towards Russia” and “very comfortable for]Russian President Vladimir] Putin”. The official’s name is not specified. According to the Financial Times, the plan’s authors claimed that only Russian and US officials had been involved in the process.
The newspaper added that the US had informed Ukraine of the plan via Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, this week.
According to an unnamed US official with “direct knowledge,” Axios reported that the plan would grant Russia access to areas of eastern Ukraine that Moscow does not currently control in exchange for a security guarantee for Ukraine and Europe against upcoming Russian aggression.
However, according to Keir Giles, a Russian military expert at Chatham House in London, the idea may not even be from the US. He described the way news of the plan had emerged as a “Russian information operation rather than the basis of reality, which Western media has willingly bought into yet again” in an interview with Al Jazeera.
Witkoff said on Wednesday in response to a post on X with a link to the Axios story: “He must have got this from K.” The 28-point plan’s existence was not explicitly confirmed or refuted by him.
The post, which Witkoff may have “thought was a direct message” to someone else, Giles said, has since been deleted.
According to Giles, “K” could refer to Kirill Dmitriev, the head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), or Keith Kellogg, Trump’s special envoy for the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Dmitriev is listed as one of the “architects” of the new proposal in a report from the Financial Times.

What have Ukrainian and US officials said?
The White House has not made any comment on the situation.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio wrote on X that the US “will continue to develop a list of potential ideas for ending this war based on input from both sides of this conflict”.
Rubio continued, “Ending a complex and deadly war like the one in Ukraine calls for a lot of serious and realistic ideas exchange. And both parties will need to consent to difficult but necessary concessions in order to reach a lasting peace.
Zelenskyy, who was holding talks in Turkiye with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday, has also not commented on the alleged proposal.
After meeting with Erdogan in Ankara, Zelenskyy said on Telegram that the key to stopping the bloodshed and achieving lasting peace is that we work together with all of our partners and that the American leadership stays strong and effective.
Only the US and Trump “have sufficient strength to finally put an end to the war,” Zelenskyy claimed.
What has been reported about the terms of the plan?
The plan includes 28 specific, unidentified points, according to Axios. Overall, it would give Russia complete control of the Donbass region, which includes Donetsk and Luhansk in eastern Ukraine, and Crimea in the south, which Russia seized from Ukraine in 2014 but which is still litigious.
In Donbas, Russia currently controls all of Luhansk and most of Donetsk. Overall, Ukraine still has control over 14.5 percent of the Donbass region, including parts of Donetsk around the cities of Sloviansk and Kramatorsk, according to the Institute for the Study of War.
Russia would also be unable to station its troops there, making Ukraine have to completely withdraw its forces from the Donbass. This would also make the area a demilitarized zone.
Axios quoted an unnamed Ukrainian official saying the plan also imposes longer-term limits on the size of Ukraine’s military and its possession of long‑range missiles.
Russia now controls 75% of Zaporizhia and Kherson in southern Ukraine, which border the Black Sea, along with Crimea and the majority of the Donbass region. The existing battle lines in these two regions would be permanently frozen, according to the plan. The return of any of this territory to Ukraine would be subject to later negotiations.
Would Ukraine benefit from this strategy?
On the surface, analysts claimed that this strategy does not at all benefit Ukraine. “If the plan, as has been suggested to media were implemented, this would leave Ukraine defenceless against the next Russian attack”, Giles said.
He added that Ukraine would become too vulnerable if its army size was reduced and its long-range weapons were restricted. He called the strategy “catastrophic to European security.”
“It seems that Ukrainian armed forces will have to be reduced by 2.5 times]reduced by 60 percent] of its size – that means Ukraine cannot have more than 400, 000 personnel”, Marina Miron, a postdoctoral researcher at the defence studies department at King’s College London, told Al Jazeera, based on what she has read about the plan. Additionally, it states that Ukraine shouldn’t possess long-range missile capabilities capable of attacking Russia. Then Crimea and the regions under Russian control would both be officially recognized.
“This plan seems to obviously favour Russia, and it is interesting to see whether the United States can exert enough leverage on Ukraine and on Zelenskyy to accept this plan”, Miron said.

How has Trump’s position evolved over time?
Trump has flip-flopped on the issue of Ukraine ceding land to Russia several times this year.
Trump suggested late last month that Ukraine’s current battle lines be frozen, and what not.
You let it continue as it is now. They can … negotiate something later on down the line”, Trump told reporters on Air Force One in October. Russia, which has made it clear that it is determined to achieve its war goal of removing Ukraine’s military from Moscow’s eastern regions, rejected this strategy.
This plan was initially supported by Ukraine and its allies in Europe. “The current line of contact should be the starting point of negotiations”, they said in a joint statement. Ukraine, which had previously urged reclaiming all of its land, saw a change in this regard.
Trump’s position on the matter also changed, and on September 23 he asserted that the European Union and NATO could assist in bringing back all of its territory, which Russia had seized since the start of the war.
“With time, patience, and the financial support of Europe and, in particular, NATO, the original Borders from where this War started, is very much an option”, Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform back then.
Trump stated on August 11 that the two countries would have to renounce their respective territories in order for the war to end. He stated to reporters that Russia had taken some of Ukraine’s “very prime territory” and that it would “try to get some of that territory back.” At this point, Zelenskyy rejected the idea of conceding any land.
Trump and Zelenskyy met in the Oval Office in February of this year. Zelenskyy was berated by Trump and his vice president, JD Vance, at this meeting for not showing up enough to win the American war so far.
Trump indicated that ending the war would require Ukraine to give up some territory, telling Zelenskyy: “You should be grateful. You are trapped there, your people are dying, and you have a shortage of soldiers.
Trump vowed to end the Ukraine war in his first 24 hours of presidency, in preparation for the US election last year. Trump was inaugurated in late January this year, and about 11 months later, all his attempts at peace talks have been unsuccessful.
Since February 2022, the conflict in Ukraine has been dragging on. At least 26 people were killed and several others were hurt in a Russian aerial attack on Ternopil in western Ukraine on Wednesday, according to Ukrainian Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko.
What will happen next?
Miron said that because of its significant favoring of Russia, Ukraine and Europe will reject this plan if it is presented.
“Ukraine and Europe will have their own demands as we go through a second cycle of rewriting the plan.” Allegedly, Zelenskyy had a plan of his own in Turkiye which was put together with his European allies”, Miron said.
The plan will likely start a “diplomatic game,” she continued if the reports about the plan are accurate.
Trump can always say, “Well, we came with a plan to you and you rejected it,” if Ukrainians and Europeans reject the plan. And so you are in the way to achieve a lasting peace'”.
More than 170 climbers were safely evacuated as a result of Mount Semeru’s sudden eruption, according to Indonesian authorities.
The Center for Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation’s head, Priatin Hadi Wijaya, stated in a video news conference on Thursday that “they are safe and are now being helped to return.”

On Wednesday, at least 178 people climbed the 3, 676-meter (12, 060-foot) mountain in the Lumajang district of East Java province, including climbers, porters, guides, and tourism officials, and left stranded at the camping area Ranu Kumbolo.
Hetty Triastuty, a representative at the center, added that Ranu Kumbolo is a safe haven away from the crater’s main danger zone, 8 kilometers (5 miles).
A pyroclastic flow appears on an aerial photograph of the Mount Semeru’s eruption in Lumajang, East Java, on November 19, 2025.
The camping area is located on the mountain’s northern slope, which is not in the way of the observed south-southeast moving hot cloud flow.
The climbers may have been exposed to volcanic ash, though.
On Wednesday afternoon, the eruption of Mount Semeru in eastern Java caused officials to raise the alert status to its highest level by dumping ash and gas more than 13 kilometers (8 miles) away.
Semeru is Indonesia’s highest peak, and it is located on the “Ring of Fire,” a seismically active arc where earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are common.
Still being traumatized
According to Sultan Syafaat, a representative for the disaster management agency, nearly 900 people were sheltered after the eruption in schools, mosques, and village halls.
They spend the night [in shelters], he said, likely because they are still traumatized.
Faiz Ramadhani, a resident, claimed the eruption had been “very horrible”.
It was like midnight at that time, four in the afternoon, four. The 20-year-old described the situation as “very dark.”
Some of the homes close to the volcano had rock fragments and volcanic ash buried in places.
The village leader of Supiturang, Nurul Yakin Pribadi, described how shocked he was to discover that his home had been damaged.
He told AFP that his house had a metre-high spill of [volcanic] materials. “Many people’s homes were ruined,” the statement read.
In the past 200 years, Semeru, also known as Mahameru, has erupted numerous times, most recently in the deadly 2021 episode that left 62 people dead and encircling villages in hot ash.
Indonesia has nearly 130 active volcanoes, more than any other nation, and Semeru’s frequent activity is closely monitored due to the dangers it poses to nearby towns, transportation routes, and aviation.

Following a request from the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, US President Donald Trump says he will support efforts for peace in Sudan. His pledge comes as the UN calls for justice for the victims of the “horror show” and “crime scene” in El-Fasher, which the UN has referred to as “a crime show.”
