In the middle of their tell all tour, Katie Price has revealed she and Kerry Katona were kicked out of their hotel just hours before heading on stage with the Celebs Go Dating star

Katie Price has told fans she was “booted out” of her hotel just hours before one of her shows with Kerry Katona.

Taking to Snapchat, the former glamour model updated viewers on her morning and wrote: “Hotel booted us out”. She and Kerry are in the middle of a nation-wide tour called An Evening with Katie Price & Kerry Katona, promising fans to “tell-all” about their lives.

In a video, she explained what happened in more detail. “Don’t you just hate it when people knock on the door of your hotel, ‘come on you’ve got to get out now’?” she asked.

“It really winds me up. I’m like, ‘yes if you want to come in you can see we are packing up,’. Anyway, we are at the theatre six hours early which is good do I’m going to find a Subway.

“I’m going to put the kittens in, settle them in, and then go get a Subway.”

Katie has been travelling with her beloved cats, after two had to be rushed to the vets after being found limp. She explained in a Facebook post that the cats were born two weeks premature and that she’s grown really attached to them.

“They were born two weeks premature and we have been bottle feeding them as well as their mum feeding them. But they’ve all been really healthy.

“We’re all really attached to them, they look at me like their second mum because obviously I feed them.”

She added that when she took the cats to the vet, they said it might be better to put them down, but she refused and now keeps them close all the time. “Thank God,” she added when they got home. “Because they are like my babies.”

Being “booted” out of a hotel was not the only mishap on the tour so far. Katie had to apologise to fans from the stage after one show was disrupted by a group of drunken women in Liverpool.

The pair’s most recent performance in New Brighton, Liverpool, descended into chaos after a group of drunken women were ordered to leave by security and police had to be called. Security staff were reported to be talking to a member of the audience during the show and this person and her group were then removed from the venue, to the sound of cheers from the rest of the crowd.

Katie apologised to the audience after watching all the drama on a TV backstage: “Sorry about the drama. It had nothing to do with us.”

Later, two police cars were seen outside the theatre. Merseyside police confirmed to the Echo that they had been received a report of drunken women who had to be removed from the venue and that “enquiries into the matter are ongoing”.

A spokesperson for the theatre said they were grateful to the police who assisted staff to “swiftly remove them from the premises”.

James Martin’s ITV show, Saturday Morning, was beaten to the Daytime gong at the National Television Awards by This Morning

James Martin has posted a touching message to television viewers in a fresh video following his disappointment at this year’s National Television Awards.

The celebrity chef’s ITV programme, Saturday Morning, received a nomination in the Daytime category at this year’s NTAs, which took place on 10 September at The O2 Arena in London.

James’ culinary show made the shortlist alongside This Morning, Loose Women and Scam Interceptors, however This Morning claimed the gong.

“I just want to say thank you to everyone that voted at the NTAs. What a special night,” James told his followers in the footage posted to his Instagram profile.

“Congrats to This Morning winning Best Daytime. It was amazing to be shortlisted in the final four.”

James appeared hard at work in a kitchen during the video, with the television personality wearing a striped apron whilst revealing he had returned to “the day job”.

“But back to the routine. Back to the day job. Thank you to everybody that’s voted. Thank you!” he wrapped up his social media post.

Supporters rushed to offer their backing, with one commenting: “Winning next year! ! ! !” whilst another wrote: “Same time again next year James. You’re the best to us all, don’t forget that.”

A third admirer remarked: “You’re welcome – be back again next year,” and another person noted that Saturday Morning is the first cookery programme to receive a nomination in the NTAs’ Daytime category, emphasising how “amazing” the show is.

James graced the National Television Awards on Wednesday evening with his girlfriend Kim Johnson, making a striking pair on the red carpet, reports the Express.

James embarked on a relationship with Kim, a personal trainer, following his break up from long-term girlfriend Louise Davies. He and Louise, a TV producer, were an item since 2011 but parted ways in 2023.

On the other hand, Kim was once wedded to Arun Nayar, Elizabeth Hurley’s former spouse, but they called it quits in 2017.

Richard Osman has become a household name over the years, thanks to his TV career as well as more recently penning a number of best-selling books. But he has now set his sights on a new venture

Throughout the years, Richard Osman has gained recognition primarily for his television work, alongside his more recent success as an author of multiple bestselling novels. However, he is now turning his attention to a fresh project.

Despite being recognised for developing and co-presenting Pointless, he has in recent years shifted more towards his literary pursuits.

While his books have all enjoyed different levels of critical acclaim, it was his first novel, The Thursday Murder Club, that became an immediate hit upon its publication in 2020.

The book proved so popular that The Thursday Murder Club was adapted into a film this year, featuring Dame Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Sir Ben Kingsley and Celia Imrie in the lead roles. After its cinema debut, it also enjoyed tremendous success on Netflix, reaching the top spot on the streaming service for some time.

Following the success of the book’s screen adaptation, Osman has now revealed plans for a new venture.

In a recent interview with Candis magazine, he announced that The Thursday Murder Club is destined for the theatre: “I’m also working on a theatre play of The Thursday Murder Club. A brand-new story which sees our four heroes embarking on a brand-new adventure. More news on that next year, I suspect.”

The Thursday Murder Club, a tale of four retirement home residents who meet weekly to solve cold cases, takes an unexpected twist when they are tasked with investigating a real murder. The film features Dame Helen Mirren as Elizabeth, Celia Imrie as Joyce, Sir Ben Kingsley as Ibrahim and Pierce Brosnan as Ron.

Following the huge success of his first book series, Osman launched a new collection last year, with the first instalment, We Solve Murders, hitting shelves in September.

During his chat with Candis, he shared some exciting news about the series, saying: “I’m now writing the next book in the We Solve Murders series, which I’m very excited about.”

Before embarking on his career as a novelist, Osman began in television production, working on several popular game shows, including Deal or No Deal and 8 Out of 10 Cats.

After creating the hit game show Pointless, he stepped into the spotlight to co-host the programme, a role he held for 13 years.

Former Atomic Kitten singer Kerry Katona has hit out at Thomas Skinner after he grabbed a reporter’s phone and stormed out of an interview for Strictly Come Dancing

Kerry Katona has hit out at Strictly Come Dancing’s new contestant, Thomas Skinner, after he grabbed a journalist’s phone and stormed out of a recent interview. The 34-year-old was being interviewed alongside the rest of the 2025 line-up by journalists at BBC’s Elstree Studios this week when he suddenly stormed out.

The contestant grabbed a reporter’s phone after being asked a question as they asked him to stop. He had arrived at the table of journalists with fellow contestant Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. A female reporter asked him what motivated him to sign up for Strictly and, in that moment, he realised he was being recorded on a phone during the press event.

“What’s that?”, he demanded, before picking up the woman’s phone and taking it from the table.

Thomas received a lot of backlash over the incident, and Kerry shared her two pence in her column for new! magazine.

Kerry said: “I read last week about the drama during the Strictly press launch, where Thomas Skinner, who was on The Apprentice, stormed out after getting angry at a journalist recording him. Whatever was going on behind the scenes, I think that’s a bit ridiculous!

“That’s what happens at press days. I worked for years to get to where I am, so have always been humble and nice to people doing their job, but sometimes overnight celebrities haven’t had that same journey.”

Following the incident, Thomas gave his side of the story on his Instagram Stories. He wrote: “To set the record straight of the back of yesterday.

“During one of the interviews, a journalist placed their phone on the table to record the conversation.

“I happened to catch a glimpse of the screen and saw numerous messages – not about Strictly but about a personal story from my past.

“I’ve been through some difficult times in my life, which I have worked hard to move on from. In that moment, seeing it there caught me off guard. I felt it was best to step away and gather myself.”

Skinner went on: “This had nothing to do with Strictly or the interviews themselves. I’m sorry I picked up someone else’s phone and I don’t even know if the journalist realised their messages were visible, and I don’t want to suggest any bad intentions on their part.

“What I do want to say is how excited I am to be part of Strictly this year. I’m so grateful for all the love, kindness and support I’ve been shown so far. It means the world to me, and I can’t wait to give it my all on that dancefloor. Bosh.”

Jonathan Howard, who plays Carl Webster on ITV’s Coronation Street, has been left horrified after his car was smashed in Manchester

Coronation Street actor Jonathan Howard has spoken out after his car was vandalised in Manchester, calling it a “welcome back gift” from local troublemakers.

Howard, 38, who plays Carl Webster on the ITV soap, returned to the UK earlier this year after a stint in Hollywood.

His homecoming, however, took a frustrating turn when he parked his car in Manchester and later discovered that the back windows had been smashed.

Thieves in the area are known for opportunistic attacks, targeting vehicles for quick thefts. Posting a picture of the damaged car, Jonathan joked: “Nice little welcome back gift from the Manchester scallies.”

Since joining the cobbles, Howard has made a big impact as Kevin and Debbie Webster’s previously unseen younger brother.

Carl’s arrival quickly stirred drama as he seduced his brother’s wife, Abi, and turned his business ventures into a dodgy garage offering fake MOTs.

His willingness to bend the rules caused even more drama when he became involved with stolen cars, trying to raise money to pay off blackmail from Tracy Barlow, who discovered his affair with Abi.

However, Carl’s love life endevours didn’t stop there. Fans were stunned last month when it was revealed that he had embarked on a new relationship with former footballer James Bailey.

Howard explained the motivation behind his character’s bold moves as he explained: “Carl likes living life on the edge, he is a hedonist and a free spirit, he is attracted to a person regardless of their gender and if he sees something he wants he goes for it with no real thought to the consequences of his actions.

“He is frustrated that Abi has gone away with Kevin and he needs something to distract himself. There is a spark between him and James so he goes for it. Tracy was also offering herself to him but he isn’t stupid and he knows that would be a dangerous move, James on the other hand is less complicated and more fun.”

Carl’s escapades have made him one of the most unpredictable characters on Coronation Street between his romantic entanglements and his shady business dealings.

Whether he’s facing police scrutiny for stolen cars, trying to manage tension and drama with his family, or navigating affairs, his wild storylines have been keeping viewers hooked and on the edge of their seats.

Blake Lively’s former pal, Taylor Swift, was dragged into her arduous legal battle with her It Ends With Us co-star, Justin Baldoni, and now it’s been claimed she may give evidence

Taylor Swift is reportedly edging closer to being forced to give evidence in former pal Blake Lively’s court case with Justin Baldoni. In December last year, Blake filed a lawsuit against Justin, alleging she suffered “severe emotional distress and pain, humiliation, embarrassment, belittlement, frustration and mental anguish” as a result of his conduct during production.

He denied the claims and filed a countersuit against Blake, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and her publicist Leslie Sloane. His filing alleged extortion and defamation. He also filed a separate defamation action against The New York Times.

Meanwhile, the tension between Blake and Taylor blew up after the singer’s name got dragged into Blake’s arduous 2024 legal battle with her It Ends With Us co-star, Justin.

Justin’s lawyers claimed Blake tried to ‘coerce’ Taylor into making a public statement about the actor, whom Blake accused of sexual harassment, and deleted texts allegedly sent between them discussing him.

Earlier this year, a judge ruled Justin could have the texts between Taylor and Blake that have to do with It Ends With Us.

And now, newly filed court documents seen by MailOnline showed that Taylor has been asked to take part in a deposition (in the week beginning October 20) after the release of her album in October.

She’s set to be deposed if Justin’s legal team can persuade to a judge to a deadline extension. Justin’s legal team claimed Taylor was asked to a deposition being scheduled for next month.

“Ms. Lively misleadingly implies the Wayfarer Parties seek a blanket thirty-day extension of the discovery cut-off date,” his lawyer Ellyn S. Garofalo wrote to judge Lewis J. Liman, according to MailOnline.

“In fact, the Wayfarer Parties requested an agreement solely to take the deposition of Taylor Swift during the week of October 20-25 due to Ms. Swift’s preexisting professional obligations.”

In July, Judge Lewis J. Liman dismissed Baldoni’s $400 million countersuit and the defamation claim against the newspaper The New York Times.

Meanwhile, it has been reported that Taylor and Blake aren’t on speaking terms. Fans noticed that Blake snubbed Taylor’s engagement news and questioned whether a song in her new album is about the Gossip Girl actress.

On August 13, Taylor announced her upcoming album, The Life of a Showgirl, which will include a track titled Ruin the Friendship — a song rumoured to be about her relationship with Blake. A source close to the situation tells People: “Taylor and Blake aren’t speaking.”

The Mirror have reached out to Taylor’s reps for comment.
