Princess Andre has jetted off to Mexico where she treated herself to a relaxing spa day, sporting a white bikini after celebrating her milestone birthday with her family

Princess Andre is making the most of her post-birthday celebrations after turning 18 last month. The daughter of Katie Price and Peter Andre has jetted off to Mexico following an intimate family dinner to mark her milestone – which mum, Katie claimed she wasn’t invited to.

Sharing snaps of herself relaxing in a spa, topping up her tan and making the most of the gorgeous weather in central America, Princess posed to perfection in a white bikini as she dipped her toes in the rooftop pool, which also boasted a jacuzzi and was surrounded by tropical trees. The teen looked like she was living her best life in the snap in which she matched her manicure to her bikini and left her long blonde curls loose – and which she simply captioned: “Spa day.”

Responding to the post, the teen’s stepmum, Emily, who shares kids Amelia, 11, Theo, eight, and Arabella, one, with Princess’ dad, Peter, said that she too had been to the spa in Mexico with her children.

Revealing that her son and daughter had a sumptuous-sounding “chocolate facial” at the hotel, she said: “Omg that spa!! Mills and Theo had a chocolate facial there.”

Princess celebrated her 18th birthday last month with a family dinner, but her mum, Katie was notably absent, instead posting pictures of herself living it up in Dubai.

However, the Pricey claims she was not invited to celebrate her daughter’s milestone while making a thinly veiled swipe at Pete and his management.

Speaking to her sister, Sophie, on their podcast, she wished Princess a happy birthday as she explained: “Princess is now officially an adult so mummy and Princess can now go out together. If certain people would let her be seen with me.”

Katie then went on to speak about Princess’ new documentary, which Katie is not involved in, saying: “Everyone knows she’s doing this documentary – and I’m not in it. Certain people don’t think it’s good for Princess to be seen with me. Certain people that used to look after me.”

Sophie said: “You aren’t on brand Katie. You are too risky Katie that’s why.”

Katie then appeared to reference Peter Andre and their old PR team, who now manage her ex-husband and their kids, Junior and Princess. She lamented: “It’s pathetic. I’m her mother. It’s sad. It’s so sad. When certain people who used to look after me are now looking after…”

It’s thought that the reason Katie wasn’t invited is because the party was going to be filmed for Princess’ upcoming documentary. Katie hit back: “The fact is there’s stuff my daughter is doing and I’m not allowed to be seen at any of it.

“Certain people who are filming Princess’ documentary used to do my filming. It’s fine, it’s just there’s always conflict of interest. People will cotton on to this. So we do have to do something for Princess’ 18th.”

Amanda Holden has reignited her feud with Sharon Osbourne after previously branding her ‘bitter and pathetic’ over comments she made about Simon Cowell

Amanda Holden has fuelled the flames of her feud with Sharon Osbourne again after making a savage comment about her use of Ozempic. The women were involved in a bitter exchange two years ago when Amanda accused The Osbournes star of being ‘bitter and pathetic’ over comments she made about her former boss on the X Factor, Simon Cowell.

Now, Amanda is at it again after saying ‘she would always choose her face over her waistline’ as she opened up Sharon’s use of the drug designed to treat diabetes, which is now being used for weight loss. Former X Factor judge Sharon, 72, has been open about how Ozempic had an severe effect on her appearance after she lost four stone in three months.

But, Amanda, 54, doesn’t seem to have any sympathy as she told the Mail: “I would choose my face over my waist any day.”

She continued: “Obviously, yeah, with Sharon….”, she paused… “It is a crazy time for those sort of jabs and things. But I will always choose my a*** over my weight and my boobs. This is where the weight goes.”

Amanda added: “We’ve seen some huge differences [with celebrities appearances] at some of the red carpets in Hollywood.

“I think it’s been very helpful for lots of people, I’m obviously not an advocate of somebody using it if they don’t need to, just because we don’t know what the implications are yet, but I think if people have used it for health reasons and for the right reasons, then it’s great.”

Sharon irked Amanda when she said her Britain’s Got Talent boss pal, Simon Cowell, “doesn’t know how to keep friends” in a conversation with their fellow former X Factor judge Louis Walsh when the pair appeared together on Celebrity Big Brother.

Responding, Amanda branded the comments: “Stabby, stabby, stabby” and accused Sharon of being “bitter and pathetic”.

She also praised Simon for giving Sharon and Louis a “lot of money and a lifestyle they probably wouldn’t have had”.

However, retorting, Sharon took to Instagram fuming that Amanda did not know her “history in the music industry, my achievements, the artists I have worked with, the shows that I’ve produced, and my global celebrity”.

She said whenever she had seen the actress on television she always thought she was “very beautiful and talented” but told her: “Never make comments about my lifestyle given to me by Simon Cowell.

“It’s demeaning to me and my husband and all the achievements I have made in my life as you’re making yourself look like an ill-informed sycophantic.”

Sharon, who starred alongside her family in the 2000s reality show The Osbournes and had her own talk show, said her brand is “known worldwide” and she has been “blessed with an amazing lifestyle throughout my entire life”, with a mansion in Beverley Hills and an English country estate.

She continued: “I never discuss money, lifestyle, or positions of power. I find it to be classless and crude.

“Yes, Simon paid me very well. Probably more than what you’re receiving today, but all of that my darling went on a few handbags.”

Rory McIlroy and Erica Stoll made the bold decision to move across the Atlantic Ocean over his wife’s reported hatred for one part of their life after the couple reconciled their relationship

Rory McIlroy will be heading into the Open Championship this week hoping to put right his 2019 disaster at Royal Portush. It’s the first time he’s returning to the iconic Northern Ireland course since collapsing under the home-love pressure, and ultimately failed to make the cut.

On the very first hole six years ago, he slumped to a dreaded quadruple-bogey, and was eventually left holding back tears after his second round exit. He said earlier this week: “The walk to the first tee and then that ovation, I was a little surprised and a little taken aback, like ‘Geez, these people really want me to win’.

“I think that brought its own sort of pressure and more internally from myself, not really wanting to let people down. It’s just something I didn’t mentally prepare for that day or that week.”

McIlroy will be leaning on his wife Erica Stoll for her continued support heading into The Open this week, in a bid to overcome his demons. The family recently moved to a new leafy Surrey estate, and have reportedly spent about £9million renovating their new home.

Erica reportedly favours milder temperatures over the sweltering heat of their former US base. The New Yorker and her Northern Irish husband were previously residing in Jupiter, Florida with their daughter Poppy, but are now ready to make the move across the pond.

Earlier in 2024, McIlroy initiated divorce proceedings, though the couple later reconciled within the same year. “Straight after Augusta we travelled over to see the house as it was going through the finishing touches,” McIlroy revealed to The Telegraph. “It was fun to see and we could have stayed in it, but we wanted to get over to [McIlroy’s hometown] Holywood.”

Fellow professional golfer Martin Kaymer recounted an amusing exchange about Stoll’s feelings towards the climate during his Netflix Full Swing appearance. “I saw her [Stoll] at a Starbucks once, and she said, ‘I really don’t like the sun.’ I said, ‘Your state’s called the Sunshine State, right?'” he recalled.

Nevertheless, it was a different Netflix programme that became the focal point during a private moment preceding McIlroy’s Masters triumph. The 36-year-old secured a career Grand Slam at Augusta, defeating Justin Rose in a play-off to claim the coveted green jacket.

Rory McIlroy, the golfing sensation, finally ended his major drought with a stunning Masters victory, and he’s revealed an unusual preparation method. Chatting with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, McIlroy shared that he unwound before his big win by indulging in the period drama ‘Bridgerton’ alongside his wife.

“The week of the Masters, for me, I’m just trying to distract myself with doing anything,” the champion golfer confessed. “I’m trying not to watch coverage of the tournament, I’m trying not to watch anything about the golf.”

McIlroy explained his strategy to avoid sports news altogether, opting instead for books, shows, or films. “You try to just not look at the sports news. So, like, read a book, watch a show, watch a movie. So, I was watching ‘Bridgerton’ with my wife, which was her decision, but I actually got into it… It was good.”

In other news, it seems McIlroy’s move to Surrey had been on the cards for some time. J. Spaun, who McIlroy outplayed at the Players Championship, accidentally revealed Rory’s UK plans during a chat on the Fore Play podcast.

Lisa Faulker met husband John Torode when she was competing on Celebrity MasterChef, admitting she was ‘petrified’ of the star when they first encountered

Lisa Faulkner is gearing up for a “big celebration” with her husband John Torode. The pair have been married for six years, having met when Lisa starred on MasterChef.

The couple toasted to the comeback of their beloved Weekend Kitchen on ITV this Sunday. Theprogramme looks set to carry on despite John’s recent departure from the BBC, as ITV confirms “no current changes to scheduling”.

With John’s 60th birthday just around the corner, Lisa, aged 53, is busy organising a memorable bash for her spouse’s big day.

Speaking with TV Times, she revealed: “I’ve got some nice things planned. It’s a big birthday so friends and family are having a celebration for him – which he knows about.”

John anticipates his milestone with expectations of “a little fizz and joy”. Former Spooks star Lisa has confessed that she was initially “petrified” of John when they first met, reports Wales Online.

At that time, both were wed to other partners, and after MasterChef ended, Lisa, who was married to Chris Coghill, and John, then with his first wife Jessica Thomas, maintained they were just friends.

However, following separations from their former spouses, the two embarked on a romance in 2010. Despite their strong connection now, Lisa admits her first impression of John was rather intimidating.

Last year, she recounted to the Mail: “He was a judge on a show I loved and I was petrified of him. He was brilliant and gave us all tips so you didn’t want to let him down. All I could think was, ‘That sauce hasn’t worked’.”

Lisa’s heart was eventually won by John with a romantic love letter, leading to their flourishing relationship. During a challenging period last year, John stood by Lisa when she spoke out about former MasterChef judge Gregg’s behaviour, describing it as a series of “rude joke after rude joke” during her 2010 appearance on the programme.

An investigation into Gregg’s time on the show was launched after there were 83 complaints submitted about his behaviour. Commissioned by production company Banjay, and led by lawyers Lewis Silkin, it upheld 45 complaints.

It also upheld complaints against two other people working on the show. John came forward earlier this week and revealed he was found to have used racist language eight years ago.

Despite this, the presenter has contested the claim, asserting that he has “no recollection of the alleged incident and does not believe that it happened”. Nevertheless, BBC executives chose not to renew the Australian presenter’s contract.

BBC director-general Tim Davie declined to repeat the specific words John is accused of saying. Addressing journalists, he stated: “I’m not going to give you the exact term, because I think, frankly it was a serious racist term, a serious racist term, which does not get to be acceptable in any way, shape or form.”

Discussing the longevity of MasterChef, the BBC chief expressed confidence: “I absolutely think it does (have a future), I think a great programme that’s loved by audiences is much bigger than individuals. It absolutely can survive and prosper, but we’ve got to make sure we’re in the right place in terms of the culture of the show.”

Writing on Instagram, John said he hoped he would have been able to “have some say” in how he left the show. It came as he admitted being unsure of what he was alleged to have said.

He lamented: “Although I haven’t heard from anyone at the BBC or Banijay – I am seeing and reading that I’ve been “sacked” from MasterChef and I repeat that I have no recollection of what I’m accused of. The enquiry could not even state the date or year of when I am meant to have said something wrong.

“I’d hoped that I’d have some say in my exit from a show I’ve worked on since its relaunch in 2005, but events in last few days seem to have prevented that. Over the past few months, I have been considering my life and the shape of it now and in the future. Celebrity MasterChef, which I recently filmed with Grace Dent along with two fantastic Christmas specials will be my last.
