According to reports, Peter Kay is the owner of a sizable property empire.
Peter Kay might find himself laughing all the way to the bank. The actor and comedian, 52, is said to have built a hugely impressive property empire to help bolster his bank balance.
Official documents filed with Companies House claim that Peter’s property portfolio is estimated to be worth £23 million. According to reports, the creator of Max and Paddy is the director of Hussein Traders, a company with properties worth £23 million, registered in Oldham.
Additionally, he co-directs Goodnight Vienna Productions, a separate business. According to documents, both businesses have generated a profit of almost $2.6 million over the past year. Additionally, Peter’s investment strategy has received praise.

A financial expert told The Sun: “He’s done what so many celebrities do and put a lot of it into property, and given how big his portfolio is, it will see the comedian vying with movie stars and rock icons.”
Peter recently announced an additional nine dates to his record-smashing Better Late Than Never tour, which is now set to run until the end of August next year. The Bolton-born comic will now wrap up his tour at Manchester’s AO Arena on August 8.
Additionally, he has disclosed that 12 different cancer charities will receive a portion of the tour’s proceeds. Everyone knows someone who has been affected by the illness, according to Peter Peter.
Speaking on The One Show just before Christmas, he said: “You don’t even have to like me to come, it goes beyond that, this is about supporting these charities.”
While Peter is working on his stand-up comeback next year, he just made it clear that Phoenix Nights, his cherished sitcom, won’t soon be available for streaming on a streaming service. He claimed that despite reaching out to him about acquiring the broadcasting rights, he chose to decline their offer.
He claimed that because they had urged them to include a trigger warning in the series, he turned down their proposal. The show, which follows his alter ego Brian Potter’s attempts to establish itself as Greater Manchester’s premier working men’s club, is not politically correct right now, Peter said.
He stated in a statement from Capital Breakfast last month, “They got in touch with me last year because they wanted to make Phoenix Nights on Netflix.”
They called me up and said, “Can we license some of your shows to put on Netflix?” Anyway, I received a lot of paperwork from them.

It’s not very politically correct right now, in essence. Do you know what I mean when I say that this was made in a certain period of time?
Then he said, “I don’t really want a warning before that, I’m not interested in that.” I simply responded, “No, I’ll leave it.” Anyway, I received an air fryer from them. That was, in my opinion, trying to sweeten me.

Katie Price has been spending some quality time with her family over the festive period. Sister Sophie shared a sweet snap of the former glamour model beaming as she sat at the dinner table.
Harvey, her son, Amy, her mother, Amy, and Paul, his stepdad, all joined by the mother-of-five Katie, 47. Before the new year’s ring, the clan posed for photos with each other while drinking together.
An oversize sweatshirt and a beige woolly hat were Katie’s casual attire. As he sat down in a burgundy hoodie, Harvey was spotted smiling. He was also using headphones while on the trip.

The snap, shared on Sophie’s Instagram Stories, comes after Katie shared an emotional update on her mum’s condition. Amy is battling a terminal lung disease called IPF.
And Katie gave her mum a thoughtful present for Christmas, which reduced fans to tears as she shared it on her vlog. In recent years, Amy’s health has deteriorated after she revealed in 2017 that she had been diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF).
The lung condition makes it difficult to breathe because the lung tissue becomes terminally ill and thickens and scars. She now struggles with mobility almost ten years later.
Now, the former glamour model revealed she had bought her mum a mobility scooter to help her get around. Footage on her YouTube channel showed Katie giving her mum a driving lesson.
On the mobility scooter, she showed the 73-year-old how to drive both forward and backward. The OnlyFans star assured her mother that if she took her foot off the pedal, the machine would stop while Amy was concerned about what to do if someone suddenly pulled out in front of her.
When asked if Amy liked the present, an empathetic Amy responded, “Yes, I do, of course I do.” She also acknowledged that the scooter’s lights were magical.
Katie explained that Katie had also purchased some furry gloves for her mother so she could keep her hands warm while she was driving. And it was this that caused her mother to panic.
The grandmother thanked her daughter for the life-changing gift, but Amy was overcome with emotion. “I’m going to enjoy this a little bit,” Amy said. It seems to “open up,” I believe.

Then, according to Katie, “Everyone was content this Christmas.” The children in total. JJ. And mother is the best person who deserves this, who is happier, and who deserves it.
She has a new life, she says. They are joyful tears. And I’m pleased that she has more self-control. She can go to the beach in the summer. On a full tank, it can travel 12 and a half miles.
Karen Hauer, a professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing, revealed that she stopped drinking because she was using it to conceal her sensitive feelings and hide from troubling issues.

Strictly Come Dancing star Karen Hauer congratulated herself on being 12 months sober in an emotional social media post. The 43-year-old professional dancer on the BBC show shared her candid admission on Instagram, and the post was accompanied by an elegant black and white picture of her.
She declared, “One year alcohol free. For the first time, I confronted my raw self: terrified, depressed, and angry. also clearer. a break “Progressing” She continued, “I kept my mouth shut while I was merely having fun,” but I was genuinely closing my eyes and gritting my teeth hoping the pain would subside.
Karen revealed that giving up alcohol was the “bravest” thing she had ever done in her life despite having experienced the trauma of divorce for the third time last year. She continued, “The most brave thing I’ve ever done is stop running from myself,” adding:
She continued, “Now I’m gradually getting better at allowing myself to feel what I do and reasoning with myself.” Even when my mind overthinks and my heart rate rises. I’m okay with that because that’s how I go about healing.

She ended her post by giving thanks to her boyfriend and looking forward to the year ahead. “Here’s to many more positive days ahead, with love, support and my little family – Simon and my four gorgeous dogs. Take care of yourselves in 2026,” she wrote.
Her Strictly family eluded her heartfelt post’s comment section in a matter of seconds. The first two to acknowledge her sobriety included Jowita Przystal and Victor Pattison. The BBC ballroom show’s cast can occasionally be seen partying during breaks from rehearsals.
The broadcaster, however, has since updated its guidelines for professional conduct earlier this year. The Pro Dancer Guidelines document, which is 16 pages long, is called.
The Sun reports that professionals are prohibited from “wearing, drinking excessively, or sporting inappropriate clothing.” The document’s two parts, allegedly During and Outside the Strictly Period, are said to be divided into two.
She claimed in a previous interview that she had a significant impact after splitting with fellow professional dancer Kevin Clifton, particularly given how quickly she claimed he had left Stacey Dooley. She told Closer, “I don’t think we were ready for marriage,” when discussing her tumultuous romance with Kevin.
She continued, “We were still developing as performers, as people, as lovers, and sometimes you just can’t seem to fix things.” She also revealed that her jealousy had hampered their marriage while on the podcast Divorce Club.
She openly acknowledged that after the fights, I started acting jealous because I wasn’t getting the attention I wanted from my husband, and I couldn’t understand why I was trying to pull him. Why don’t you do this, exactly? Why don’t you do that, exactly? I only wanted answers, not exactly what you’re supposed to do. And then, she continued, it suddenly became extremely unpleasant.
The dancer claimed that they unsuccessfully sought professional assistance by consulting a counselor to help them through their issues. Following her separation from her third husband, Jordan Wyn-Jones, just 16 months after their wedding, Karen has been dating Simon Davidson for two years.
She claimed that her relationship with Jordan was “toxic” and that she was constantly in a panic while appearing on Paul C. Brunson’s podcast, We Need to Talk. She said, “Love shouldn’t be in panic, just like it should be.” He almost almost made up his plans to scare me so I wouldn’t leave.” She continued, “I was lying to him because that was the only way I could get through the day, and that would keep the peace,” adding that “not only I was lying to my family and friends, and they were seeing it.”

Only two names are predicted to have significant 2026 tally, Rosalia and Olivia Dean. From small venues to some of the country’s biggest stages, the past year has seen a wide range of musical talent.
Platforms like TikTok, celebrity endorsements and radio airplay have catapulted many artists into chart-topping success and mainstream recognition in 2025.
A new wave of stars is afoot as the new year approaches. In the upcoming months, here are the acts to watch out for.
Fcukers
Endorsed by The Strokes ‘ Julian Casablancas, Charli XCX and Beck, Fcukers are poised to make a splash in the coming year. With a dub reggae and hyperpop twist, this duo’s infectious electroclash sound has drawn inspiration from The Rapture, LCD Soundsystem, and Soulwax, and has already amassed millions of streams.
This New York-based band, which features vocalist Shanny Wise and producer Jackson Walker Lewis as well as bassist and keyboardist Jackson Walker Lewis, has not yet released their debut album. Their first EP Baggya $$was released under Ninja Tune’s sublabel Technicolour Records in September last year.
In the past year, the band delivered a high-energy performance on the Woodsies stage at Glastonbury Festival, supported Tame Impala on the US leg of the Deadbeat tour, and sold out three nights at London’s Colour Factory, despite only having played their first gig in 2023.
Homie Don’t Shake, their first single, cleverly incorporated the riff from Them’s 1966 hit I Can Only Give You Everything into pulsing electronica. Their high-quality output has been maintained with their October release, I Like It Like That, giving rise to a full-length album.
– Tune in to Bon Bon, an energetic indie house track featuring seductive vocals from Wise that has racked up nearly eight million Spotify streams.
Olivia Dean
London-born singer-songwriter Olivia Dean, nominated for best new artist at the 2026 Grammy Awards, has expanded her fanbase over the past year with the launch of her second studio album, The Art Of Loving, which soared to the top of the UK albums chart in October.
Additionally, her second album produced the UK number one single Man I Need and the top 10 hits Nice to Each Other and So Easy (To Fall In Love). Two years after its release, her debut album, Messy, which was released in 2023, climbed to the top ten of the UK albums chart, with one of its singles, Dive, achieving the top 17 position on the UK singles chart in 2025.
The 2025 record will be succeeded by the Art Of Loving Tour in 2026, kicking off in Glasgow in April and wrapping up in Auckland, New Zealand, in October, with performances at New York’s Madison Square Garden and London’s O2 Arena.
Dean, a devoted supporter of Premier League football club West Ham United, has recently performed a live duet with Sam Fender on his track Rein Me In. She’s been a supporting act on his People Watching Tour and released the single It Isn’t Perfect But It Might Be for the 2025 film Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy.
In the past year, she’s also supported Sabrina Carpenter on her Short ‘ N ‘ Sweet tour in the US. The 26-year-old has a soulful sound that has made her mother the Women’s Equality Party deputy leader, and she is quickly becoming a household name in the UK. However, it’s anticipated that she will become a major global celebrity in 2026.

Geese
Following their debut studio album, New York rock band Geese, who won indie album of the year in 2025, finally made it big. Their lead singer, Cameron Winter, also received high praise for his solo album Heavy Metal, which was rumoured to be in the running for a Grammy Award nomination.
The band are the most recent addition to a long line of creative New York bands that includes Blondie, Television, Talking Heads, and The Strokes. These renowned musicians have their own distinctive experimental twist, while incorporating inspiration from these legendary musicians.
Winter’s distinctive vocals are remarkably versatile, morphing and adapting to suit each track flawlessly, shifting from a spirited punk rallying cry to a tender and wounded whisper, whilst guitarist Emily Green delivers her own interpretation of the jagged approach pioneered by Television’s Richard Lloyd.
Cillian Murphy, a member of the Peaky Blinders, confessed in a recent chat that he is “obsessed” with them and described Winter’s solo career as “amazing.”
The band recently graced Radio 1’s Live Lounge, where their rendition of The New Radicals’ You Get What You Give became a social media hit, and have already changed tickets for two sold-out shows in London scheduled for next year.
– Listen: Crusades, a pulsating New York street anthem that would make Lou Reed and Tom Verlaine beam with pride.
Rosalia
Rosalia, who goes by the full name Rosalia Vila Tobella, is one of Spain’s most successful musical exports of all time. She has long been a well-known face in her native country, but a larger European chart success has largely remained elusive.
Following the drop of her fourth record Lux, the alternative pop sensation became the most successful female Spanish performer in UK albums chart records, as it climbed to number four, whilst she also secured her peak position on the singles chart with Berghain, which hit number 36. The intricate concept of the 2025 album, which includes songs based on the lives of female saints like Hildegard of Bingen, Rabia Al-Adawiya, and Miriam, as well as exploring Rosalia’s personal relationship with religion, has received a lot of praise.
The singer, who is originally from Catalonia, has previously won two Grammy Awards for her 2022 record and El Mal Querer in the same category as well as Motomami (2022), Los Angeles (2017), and El Mal Querer (2018). It’s claimed that Rosalia is gearing up for a tour in 2026, which would be her first since the 2022 Motomami World Tour.
– Listen to Berghain, a distinctive pop song combining Yves Tumour and Bjork. It combines classical strings, opera, and pop.
The New Eves
The New Eves became one of the most distinctive bands in 2025, combining guitarist and violinist Violet Farrer, cellist and guitarist Nina Winder-Lind, bassist Kate Mager, drummer and flautist Ella Oona Russell, and drummer and flautist Nina Winder-Lind.
When Rough Trade announced its album of the month for the first time in August, their debut album, The New Eve Is Rising, was named that title. The record fuses the experimental elements of The Velvet Underground and krautrock with feminist punk and folk, resulting in a truly unique sound. The Last Dinner Party and Florence and the Machine’s witchy aesthetics are carried forward by their visual aesthetic.
The band’s debut album perfectly complements the foreboding mood created by its strikingly eerie cover artwork, which depicts the group climbing a hillside while sporting a banner emblazoned with the album’s title, which is reminiscent of The Wicker Man.
Following the release, Winder-Lind reflected: “This project has been about us redefining ourselves, and we hope anyone who’s listening can be inspired by that. By creating our own mythology, we are letting ourselves go as four people.

The Brighton quartet delivered two atmospheric sold-out performances at London’s Hoxton Hall in 2025, before capitalising on their inaugural album’s triumph with a release containing the tracks Red Brick and Whale Station, revealing a more approachable facet of the collective.
