Katie Price shared a cryptic post about motherhood amid reports of a rift between her and daughter, Princess Andre. The former glamour model recently revealed she was “upset” about not being featured in her daughter’s new show, The Princess Diaries, about the teen’s childhood and life in the spotlight.

Amid rumours of a family rift, which Princess denied, Katie took to her social media to share a post about “only having one mum”. In a big font, the post read: “You only get one mum,” before it went on to list the many stage’s of a person’s life and how mothers are treated throughout the stages.

It read: “5 years old – Mum, I love you. 12 years old – Mum, you’re so annoying. 16 years old – I can’t wait to move out. 25 years old – Mum, you were right about everything.” It comes as Katie Price reached out to Harvey’s lookalike half-brother but fears ‘he’s too scared’.

The post continued: “30 years old – I just want to be at mum’s house. 50 years old – I’m not ready to lose my mum. 70 years old – I’d give anything for one more day with her.”

Princess’ new reality-series The Princess Diaries will air on ITV2 tomorrow night (Sunday, 10 August) but Katie, 47, recently said she’s upset as she wasn’t asked to take part.

Days before the show’s release, Katie took to her podcast to share her upset. In this week’s episode of The Katie Price podcast, Katie said there is no rift between herself and her daughter.

She fumed: “But what hurts my feelings – and it does upset me – is when your kids grow up, you go to their assemblies, you go to their Christmas things, you go to their awards, you know, you go to their football matches or their gymnastics, you’re involved in everything they do.

“And knowing that what my career has been, Princess is taking that same path – trying to do the same as what I’ve done – which I absolutely love and adore of Princess but I had not been allowed to go on any photoshoot, no signings or Superdrug openings or anything like that. Why? Because I’m not allowed and I’m not welcome.”

Following Katie’s rant on her podcast, Princess broke her silence and shared her side of the story. Denying any fallout, she told Daily Mail: “’It’s my show, it’s not based on my parents, it’s focused on me.

“To be honest there’s no rift between me and either of my parents.” Elsewhere Katie has recently fumed about not being invited to her daughter’s 18th birthday celebrations and claimed she jetted off to Ibiza to get away from it all.

Katie said in her podcast: “The reason is because Pete doesn’t want to be in the same room as me because I’m his ex.

“Well, we need to have some home truths here; when the kids get older and they get married is he still going to have the same attitude that only one parent can be there, because I disagree.”

Myleene Klass’ ex hits back after cheating claim saying he hasn’t seen kids in years

Friends of Mylenne Klass’ ex husband Graham Quinn have spoken out and refuted claims made by the former pop star that he cheated on her with a well known celebrity

Friends of Graham Quinn have hit back at claims he cheated on his then-partner Myleene Klass. The pair split in 2013 but now 12 years later, talk about Myleene’s former relationship with the security manager has resurfaced.

The singer turned TV personality has alleged that she caught him cheating on her with a well known celebrity, with the alleged affair reportedly occuring just before the couple tied the knot in 2011.

Myleene, 47, shot to fame after appearing on reality TV show Popstars and went on to become a member of Hear’Say. Speaking on a podcast, the Loose Women panellist claimed that she walked in on Graham and the unknown female “unzipping each other” on the balcony at her birthday party.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, a friend close to the father of two said: “Gray is a private person and is happy leading a quiet life. Despite being fed up to the back teeth with Myleene, he’s not going to dignify these fantasies with a response. He thinks she’s a bully.”

The friend told the publication that they felt the timing of exposing her allegation was “vindictive and calculated”, as it was made during the week of his 51st birthday.

The friend continued: “She knew what she was doing. That woman will do anything for attention and once again she has dragged Gray’s name through the mud to get it.”

Myleene and Graham share two daughters together Ava, 17, and Hero, 13. Despite Graham’s silence over his alleged betrayal, he has recently spoken out about the fact he hasn’t seen his kids in years. Graham, who now works in Ibiza, shared with Fathers4Justice in a recent article: “I haven’t seen my kids in years.”

He continued: “I’ve thrown so much more money at it [trying to see his daughters] and I can’t afford much more. I’ve spent £20,000 and am probably further away from them now than I’ve ever been. It’s like banging my head against a brick wall. I’ve missed so many birthdays and Christmas days. I’ll never get that back.”

He went on to claim that his parents and other members of his family haven’t seen the children too.

At the time of the couple’s split, Graham said that Myleene tried to perpetuate a narrative that her financial stability was rocked while proceeding with their divorce. But now Graham insists that he did not receive a financial settlement.

He alleged: “I got no financial settlement at all. All I got from the sale of the house was the money I’d put in. In fact, we sold it at a loss. My eldest used to say to me, ‘daddy, did you take all of Mummy’s pennies?’ and I’d have to explain no. She got the easiest divorce ever. My lawyer at the time said I could’ve demanded a lot more, but I didn’t want to. It would be taking away from my daughters.”‘

The Mirror has reached out to Myleene for comment.

Iran rejects planned transit corridor outlined in Armenia-Azerbaijan pact

Iran has said it will block a corridor planned in the Caucasus under a United States-brokered peace accord between Azerbaijan and Armenia, which has been hailed by other countries in the region as beneficial for achieving lasting peace.

Ali Akbar Velayati, a top adviser to Iran’s supreme leader, said on Saturday that Tehran would block the initiative “with or without Russia”, with which Iran has a strategic alliance alongside Armenia.

US President Donald Trump “thinks the Caucasus is a piece of real estate he can lease for 99 years”, Velayati told state-affiliated Tasnim News, referring to the transport corridor included in the peace deal.

“This passage will not become a gateway for Trump’s mercenaries — it will become their graveyard,” he added, describing the plan as “political treachery” aimed at undermining Armenia’s territorial integrity.

The terms of the accord, which was unveiled at a signing ceremony at the White House on Friday, include exclusive US development rights to a route through Armenia that would link Azerbaijan to Nakhchivan, an Azerbaijani enclave that borders Baku’s ally Turkiye.

The corridor, which would pass close to the border with Iran, would be named the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity, or TRIPP, and operate under Armenian law.

Velayati argued that it would open the way for NATO to position itself “like a viper” between Iran and Russia.

Separately, Iran’s foreign ministry issued a statement expressing concern about the negative consequences of any foreign intervention in the vicinity of its borders.

While it welcomed the peace deal between Armenia and Azerbaijan, the ministry said any project near Iran’s borders should be developed “with respect for national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and without foreign interference”.

For its part, Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs cautiously welcomed the deal, saying on Saturday that Moscow supported efforts to promote stability and prosperity in the region, including the Washington meeting.

Similarly to Iran, however, it warned against outside intervention, arguing that lasting solutions should be developed by countries in the region.

“The involvement of non-regional players should strengthen the peace agenda, not create new divisions,” the ministry said, adding that it hoped to avoid the “unfortunate experience” of Western-led conflict resolution in the Middle East.

Meanwhile, Turkiye on Saturday said it hoped the planned transit corridor would boost exports of energy and other resources through the South Caucasus.

A NATO member, Turkiye has strongly backed Azerbaijan in its conflicts with Armenia, but has pledged to restore ties with Yerevan after it signs a final peace deal with Baku.

The Turkish presidency said President Recep Tayyip Erdogan discussed the peace agreement with Ilham Aliyev, his counterpart from Azerbaijan, and offered Ankara’s support in achieving lasting peace in the region.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan also addressed the planned corridor during a visit to Egypt, saying it could “link Europe with the depths of Asia via Turkiye” and would be “a very beneficial development”.

Armenia and Azerbaijan have fought a series of wars since the late 1980s when Nagorno-Karabakh, a region in Azerbaijan that had a mostly ethnic Armenian population at the time, broke away from Azerbaijan with support from Armenia.

Armenia last year agreed to return several villages to Azerbaijan in what Baku described as a “long-awaited historic event”.

Ahmad Shahidov, of the Azerbaijan Institute for Democracy and Human Rights, told Al Jazeera that he expected a final peace declaration between Armenia and Azerbaijan to be signed in the coming weeks.

Emmerdale star Isabel Hodgins pregnant after lavish wedding amid ‘tough’ mood swings

Just a few months ago, Emmerdale’s Isabel Hodgins and her partner Adam Whitehead tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony. Now they tell us, they’re embarking on a whole new adventure

Less than three months ago, newlyweds Isabel Hodgins and her husband Adam Whitehead told us, “Having a family is definitely our next step,” when we caught up with them following their fairy-tale wedding in Manchester. It was a stylish affair attended by Isabel’s Emmerdale co-stars Danny Miller, Mark Jordon, Laura Norton, Jeff Hordley and Zoë Henry.

And the happy couple, neither of whom can stop smiling as OK! sits down with them for an exclusive chat, tell us they already have some very exciting news to share. Since the wedding, they have discovered they are expecting their first child. A glowing Isabel beams, “It’s something that we wanted to happen, but now it actually has, it’s weird… it’s still sinking in!”

As we ask the actress, who has played Victoria Sugden on the ITV soap since she was 12 years old, how she broke the joyous news to her husband, she laughs, “He actually told me!” It comes after Liam Neeson’s son reacts to his dad’s romance with Pamela Anderson.

“Isabel was late by a few days, so she did a test. But then, she just threw it on the floor and it was upside down just lying there,” explains 28-year-old Adam before Isabel, 31, adds, “I didn’t want to look at it, as I felt it would make time go slower to stare. But Mr Impatient comes along to look at it and sees that it’s positive.

“But I thought, ‘Surely we can’t trust it because it’s been upside down, so it might have impacted the result.’ We rushed to Boots to buy three more, and they were all positive too, so we thought it must be right!” says Isabel, who is almost four months into her pregnancy journey now.

Adam, who works as a PE teacher, met Isabel in the gym, and the pair have been together for three years. And, though they were trying to start a family, the couple – who are on cloud nine having just had a look at their little one during a baby scan — admit it has all happened faster than they could have imagined.

“It’s exciting but also scary, because it has happened so fast and it’s our first time,” explains Isabel. “Originally, we booked a wedding for 2026, but then I realised I didn’t want to wait that long to start a family. But I also wanted to be married first, so I kept changing the goal posts, but this was always the plan!”

It’s not been the easiest first trimester for Isabel, who admits she’s feeling “pretty knackered”. “It’s hard to know how to feel because you’re so excited, but also, for me there’s been so much fatigue. So I’m like, ‘I’m so happy but please let me nap!’

“I didn’t know what to expect, but I think it has been tougher than I thought because it’s been a bit of a roller-coaster. But luckily, I haven’t been very sick, so that’s a plus,” she smiles. “I’ve been cooking the tea and helping out around the house as much as I can,” confirms Adam, as Isabel jumps in, “And dealing with my mood swings!” Adam laughs, “Yeah, that’s been tough.”

The couple are already hard at work designing their little one’s nursery, and are sticking to a neutral colour scheme as they have decided not to find out the baby’s gender until giving birth. “Adam is going to believe for nine months that it’s a boy,” jokes Isabel, who says she’d be happy with a boy or girl, but can also picture herself with a son. And when it comes to choosing that all-important name, Isabel and Adam joke that they’re going to leave that decision down to their baby.

“We’ve been struggling with names, especially girls’ names. We think of one and then we’re like, ‘No, our child wouldn’t suit that,’ and start overthinking it,” says Adam. “I was talking to someone and they had three names for a boy and they asked the baby the names — on a particular name the baby smiled and they were like, ‘There you go, he named himself!’” laughs Isabel.

While Adam and Isabel only met a few years ago, their story actually goes way back to when they were both newborns. After beginning their relationship, the couple discovered, incredibly, that they were actually born in the same hospital and even went to the same school — but due to their three-year age gap, they didn’t know one another.

Sadly, their baby won’t be born in the same hospital they were, as Isabel says it no longer has a maternity ward, but she confirms that the pregnancy does feel like a “full circle” moment. “It’s a weird story to tell people, the fact that we went to all these places and never knew each other until further down the line. It’s something nice to tell the kids,” smiles Isabel.

Isabel and Adam admit that their nearest and dearest weren’t shocked at their exciting news. “My mum just cried straight away, my parents both got emotional and gave me a hug,” says Adam. Isabel nods, saying, “Yeah, my parents were really cute, too. It wasn’t a surprise because everyone knew we wanted kids, so it was more about when it would happen.”

Clearly over the moon to become parents, Adam believes his other half was born to be a mum. “You’re just a natural with kids,” he tells her. “You just seem to gravitate to them and you want to mother them — even when they’re not yours!”

“For me, I knew I wanted kids at some point but it wasn’t until I met Isabel that I knew it would happen soon. Because I’m a teacher, I’m quite used to being around them and so I think it’ll come quite naturally. Well, I’m hoping one baby is easier than 750 teenagers!” he laughs.

While they may not be worrying too much about their parenting abilities, losing their current routine is something Adam and Isabel confess that they’re feeling a little nervous about. The couple are big gym-lovers and they’re both focused on their careers, so becoming mum and dad will be quite a change of pace for them.

Taking a step back from Emmerdale for maternity leave, though, is something Isabel is prepared for, albeit with mixed feelings. “I will miss it. I love the people there, but I’ve worked there for 19 years, so I feel like I’ve done what I’ve wanted to do and been selfish with my career. Now, it’s time to devote my life to being a mum, that feels right to me. But there’s still FaceTime, so they won’t forget me!”

So, what are the couple looking forward to most in this exciting new chapter? “I think, seeing what we’ve created and meeting this little person,” says Isabel. “Creating them into hopefully a respectable little person,” Adam says, as Isabel adds, “Fingers crossed!”

Can Israel have a ‘normal’ place in the Middle East?

As Israel’s war on Gaza rages, chances of normalising ties with its neighbours are fading.

Nearly every state in the Middle East has condemned Israel’s war on Gaza.

Saudi Arabia says normalising relations with Israel hinges on a Palestinian state.

Jordan, Egypt and some Gulf nations have diplomatic ties with Israel, but have criticised it publicly.

In Europe, a growing number of countries are recognising Palestine and the EU is reviewing economic relations with Israel.

But are words enough to make Israel stop killing and starving Palestinians?

And what would it take for countries to cut ties with Israel?
