Katie Price reignites bitter feud with Princess with nasty remark about daughter’s NTAs dress

Princess Andre and Junior Andre’s mother, Princess Andre, and Junior Andre, both received criticism from Kate Price for their outfits at the National Television Awards.

Katie Price has seemingly reignited her feud with daughter Princess after making a sharp comment about her outfit. The model and TV star has given her true opinion on the outfits her children wore to the National Television Awards.

The teenagers usually walk the red carpet with one of their famous parents, but Peter Andre and Katie Price were not in attendance at the event and the pair walked the red carpet on their own.

While Princess wore a silver dress with red sequins, Junior wore a red velvet jacket and a silk shirt. However, Katie criticized their stylist and wasn’t very happy with the pair’s choices.

She did say to them, “You’ve got to sack the stylist,” she said in the most recent episode of her podcast. Junior made me feel sorry. What was he f***ing wearing, I asked Princess? It appeared to be fancy attire.

Look at Maura Higgins, she looked amazing! I said, “Princess, I didn’t like your dress either it was too old for you.” She remarked, “Well, can you dress me up next time?” I said, “I don’t know who is getting you involved with these stylists, they might style you for a photo shoot but not a red carpet… the outfits were just so wrong!”

After Katie admitted to missing her daughter’s 18th birthday party, the feud between the two has been well documented. Katie had previously stated in her podcast that “everyone knows she’s doing this documentary, and I’m not in it.” Some people don’t believe that being with me with Princess is beneficial. People used to care for me, but Princess said, “I’m having a party. And I wasn’t invited because the event was “filming.”

Because I’m his ex, Pete doesn’t want to be in the same room with me. I don’t agree with this, but we need some home truths when the kids get older and get married. Will he still have the same view that only one parent can live there? Later, Princess later denied a feud and claimed that her mother wouldn’t have arrived anyway because her father was present.

Later, Katie argued that not posting with her children meant she didn’t see them. One thing is clear: I don’t have to use social media. Can we take a picture to show people I’m round your house based on how frequently I visit Junior and go round his house to see him and Jasmine? I don’t do that, she said. No one needs to know that I am. I see her constantly, much like with Princess. I don’t have to take as many pictures as I would.

Strictly’s Thomas Skinner’s ‘one-off’ fling doubles down on claims as texts leaked

Amy-Lucy, who had a fling with married Thomas Skinner, has argued that his admission that it was “nothing more” than a one-time event is untrue.

Tom is scheduled to compete in the Strictly this year.

Amy-Lucy O’Rourke, Thomas Skinner’s “one-off” girlfriend, claims she disproves his claim that it was “nothing more” than a one-time thing by sharing a number of allegedly false texts between the two.

The Strictly Come Dancing star confessed he had cheated on his wife Sinead just weeks after they got married. The pair tied the knot in May 2022, four years after they met in a bar in London. The pair got engaged two years later and now share three children – a son who is now four and a set of twin daughters, who are now two.

Thomas claimed in an admission that it was his “biggest mistake of my life” and that he felt “absolutely terrible” about it. He claimed the two-week fling was intentional.

“Two and a half years ago,” the statement read. It is my life’s biggest mistake. In a pub, I met her. She was raising her own. She gave me some cosmetic slimming treatments during our phone conversation. I had a flirt. He continued, “It was nothing more than that.”

“It was the one mistake,” he said. I had such terrible feelings when I woke up. I told my wife, “I felt so bad.” In that brief moment of madness, I let her down and didn’t appreciate what I had. I apologize. I’m so, so sorry”.

Contrary to Thomas’ claims, Amy-Lucy has now claimed that the pair dated for three months. She claims that the pair first contacted each other on May 13 and that it remained so until July 7 when they contacted each other. She claimed that they met up in the evening and that they had a conversation on Facebook on June 20 when Thomas and the couple tied the knot.

Thomas, who has three children with his wife Sinead, informed Amy-Lucy that he felt pressured to marry his wife because of her family and that he was in a “loveless relationship of convenience.”

“We were messaging one another all of the time. There were also late night calls and often he would be with me,” she told the Mail Online. Amy-Lucy also claims that by July, the pair’s messages grew explicit and they told each other how they were in love.

Amy-Lucy claimed that Tom would become envious of rumors that she and another man were dating. She claimed that despite telling him that she was interested in him, she had assured him that she was the only one who was interested.

The Mirror has contacted Thomas’ representative for comment.

Victoria Beckham enjoying ‘giving less of s***’ after breaking down in Netflix trailer

In a new Netflix series, Victoria Beckham will discuss her “highs and lows” of life as well as her past experiences with the Spice Girls.

Victoria Beckham is getting ready to share intimate details of her life in a new Netflix docu-series – after initially fearing no-one would want to watch it.

The singer-turned-designer, 51, has since reaches her 50s and is ready to reveal a brand-new side to her personality that many have not yet seen.

Before her new series premiere, Victoria admits that “having a side of getting older is actually really great.” You give a s**t less, and the filter comes off. That’s really entertaining to me.

Hot on the heels of husband David Beckham’s 2023 three part feature with the streaming platform, Posh Spice has also let the camera follow her round and opened up about the highs – and lows – of her career.

The mother-of-four will look back on her time with the Spice Girls, her union with football legend David, and their battle to overcome the stigma of being a pop star in order to gain a reputation as a well-known fashion designer in the upcoming television series, simply called Victoria Beckham.

But despite conquering the world of fashion and music, alongside being one half of the world’s most famous couples, Victoria initially didn’t fancy putting herself out there on the small screen.

She admits that David had to persuade her to sign the deal, “I genuinely couldn’t understand why anyone was that interested.” She says, “I love what I do, but I was a little shocked.” “But I’ve really enjoyed it throughout the entire process. I adore the fact that I have the chance to show how serious our industry is.

Victoria, who is currently locked in a bitter family feud with her eldest son Brooklyn Beckham, says the Netflix series allows to celebrate her past music career without it stepping her back in the fashion world.

“I spent four years with the Spice Girls, and I was so defined by that time. She continues, “I’ve worked in the fashion sector for almost 20 years.”

In a brand-new Netflix series trailer, Victoria is depicted crying out loud because her fashion label was once worth a whopping $2.5 billion.

Fans can find out how Victoria’s aspirations for a career as a fashion designer and the public’s reaction to them were affected by the teaser that was released on Wednesday. When she admits that her fashion label was deeply indebted, the story reaches its climax.

Just before the highly successful designer Tom Ford reminded viewers that “a lot of people didn’t take [her fashion dreams] seriously,” actress Eva Longoria recalled how everyone had warned Victoria that she “will not be accepted.

“People assumed that she was a pop star,” Victoria continued. Who does she believe she is now that she is married to a football player? As the trailer progressed, Victoria’s current location and the size of her fashion shows became apparent.

The former Spice Girl admitted that she and her fashion label were once “millions in the red” and that their style was different from one another. Then David can be heard saying that he was getting anxious.

Victoria cried out, “I want David to be proud of me.” I won’t let it pass through my fingers once more because it has taken so long to get to this point.

Victoria shielded her face with her hand as David tenderly remarked that “they would be proud” and that “I couldn’t make a cheese sandwich very well.”

Victoria covers ELLE’s October 2025 issue, which will be available on September 30 on newsstands. On October 9, Netflix will release her three-part docuseries.

‘We previewed M&S’ new autumn collection and predict these five buys will sell out’

We gave the sneak peek at Marks &amp and Spencer’s new autumn collection a sneak peek at, and Mirror’s fashion team anticipates that these five items will sell quickly as pieces start to arrive in stores today.

Marks & Spencer is back with their latest autumn collection and has managed to nail it again. Filled with trend-led buys, chic accessories, and cosy knitwear, M&S’ drops keep getting better every season.

The newest releases from M&amp, S Collection, Autograph, and Per Una, which have been available online today, were unveiled yesterday to the Mirror fashion team. The autumn collection unquestionably strikes the perfect balance between on-trend appeal, wearability, and affordability.

From rich chocolate browns that give everyday outfits that luxe look to preppy argyle knitwear making its return, the high street retailer has tapped into some of the biggest trends of the season to create a collection that is equally timeless and stylish. And it’s not just the clothing that makes a statement. The accessories have gotten a seasonal refresh, with adorable bag charms and statement prints that elevate autumn wardrobes.

We’ve rounded up five purchases from the new drop that won’t be around for very long because some pieces are already generating a lot of online buzz.

This maximalist chocolate brown jacket, which is made of croc-textured fabric, transitions from the traditional tan and beige trench coat to something more contemporary.

This jacket will look great with all your fall outfits, with its double-breasted detailing, longline hem, and tie-bel fast. For a color-drenched fit that looks like it’s straight off the runway, team with a rich brown jumper and accessories.

Trucker Jacket with Cow Print Faux Fur Fur

available for $70.

Leopard print has always been popular (at least in my opinion), but last year, the trend really took off thanks to the well-known “mob wife” aesthetic and designer brands that showcased the print on their runways. Cow print is the new print that is taking over, despite the fact that leopard print is still a big deal this year.

Cow print is everywhere, which is undeniably linked to the cowboy-core craze sparked by Taylor Swift and Beyoncé and the general rise in popularity of country music. It also shouldn’t surprise to see it appear in Marks &amp, Spencer’s new collection.

This jacket’s faux fur and flattering boxy fit give the style a classy vibe. For a bold autumnal look, pair dark-washed jeans with tailored pants.

Bowler bag with faux leather

available for $40.

There’s a new bag-candy trend in town, so stop thinking Labubus. The mini version of the bag that doubled as a charm really put a smile on our faces when we first saw it.

This versatile brown handbag instantly elevates any look and stands out from the typical shoulder or tote bags we frequently see.

Argyle Crew Neck Relaxed Jumper in Wool.

available for £55.

This fall, Argyle returns in a stylish way, giving autumn attire a touch of retro glam. The diamond-patterned knit has been redesigned for 2025 with slouchy, oversized fits and bold color combinations, making it the ideal layering piece. It is frequently associated with preppy styling.

This fav print can be layered with utility-style jackets and trench coats, as well as cozy knits, crisp shirts, and tailored shorts.

Suede Lace-Up Side Detail Runner Trainers

Here, you can purchase a $50 item.

These sleeker, flatter trainers perfectly fit the bill for the chunky dad-style trainer we’ve been using, which are all the rage. These trainers have genuine suede leather in the uppers, which greatly increases their comfort and durability.

And the retro trainer trend, which we’ve seen a lot of in the last year, is perfectly matched with the back contrast stripe. These are much more affordable because Miu Miu x New Balance’s current styles cost around £600.

This Morning’s Cat Deeley nails autumn trend in figure-hugging sale skirt from ASOS

We’ve discovered a way to get the This Morning host’s stylish skirt for less than the price of her on-trend outfits.

Leopard print has dominated wardrobe trends for months now, but there’s a new king of the fashion jungle taking over the high street. Appearing on This Morning on Wednesday, September 17, Cat Deeley delivered a masterclass in how to wear it for autumn with a stunning sale pick.

The presenter wore a gorgeous French Connection Brandy Snakeskin PU Midi Skirt for the show, with the scaly pattern set to be a major theme in AW25 collections. It comes as 2025 is the Lunar New Year of the Snake, which has inspired a surge in snakeskin-themed fashion items, according to ASOS.

Usually £89 and still full price at French Connection, I’ve found a way to save money on Cat’s ensemble. The skirt is actually stocked at ASOS, too, where it’s currently on sale for £67 – and it’s available in all sizes from 6-16.

Cat’s skirt features a high waisted midi design that lends itself perfectly to being worn with knee high boots, but the 48-year-old instead opted to pair it with a black strappy heel. Styled by Rachael Hughes, she completed the look with a Reserved Ladies Sweater in dark brown, which costs £39.99.

Leather and faux leather have been gaining popularity among fashion experts this year, from Gok Wan to Mark Heyes. Cat’s skirt also ticks texture boxes, which is why not.

The striking design offers a relaxed fit for easy layering, with a smart collar and open front.

Coming with long puff sleeves and a scarf tie detailing, it’s a throw-on-and-go piece that will look perfect with a pair of suede boots.

But for those who would prefer to inject some snake print into their wardrobe with accessories instead, Next has these Snake Forever Comfort Chisel Toe Heeled Ankle Boots for £65, while designer brand Ganni has reimagined their iconic Bou Bag in a snake print for £395.

It’s not the only high street pick that Cat has sported this week, either.
