Katie Price shares 'sad' admission about co-parenting with Peter Andre and Emily
Katie Price has opened up about her relationship with ex-husband Peter Andre and his new wife Emily, and what she finds "the most difficult" about co-parenting
Katie Price has opened up, admitting she feels "sad" over the lack of communication with her ex-husband Peter Andre, despite sharing two children.
The former glamour model, now 47, struck up a romance with the pop star on the hit show I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! back in 2004, leading to a fairy-tale wedding at Highclere Castle the next year.
Yet, by 2009, their love story had turned bitter, resulting in a split. Katie recently disclosed that she and Peter do not speak, even though they co-parent their son Junior, 19, and daughter Princess, 17. Instead, the pair communicate through their legal teams.
Appearing on the Katherine Ryan on the What's My Age Again? podcast Katie described co-parenting as "the most difficult thing". Expressing her feelings about Peter and his new wife Emily, she said, "It's sad, really. Now, we don't even talk, even though I'd like to. I'm glad he's with Emily. She seems like a proper lady. I think it'd be weird if he went for someone like me."
Katie shared that Princess is unable to picture her parents as a couple: "But what is funny, Junior and Princess. Mainly Princess, because Junior's more like a bit more guarded, [Princess says] 'I can't imagine you and Dad together. You're just so nuts, Mum. When I see you and Emily, you're just so different. I can't imagine you and Dad'."
Katie Price opened up about the lighter moments of her past relationship on Paul Brunson's We Need To Talk podcast, recalling to her daughter: "I said I was with your dad for six years. Trust me. We had a laugh, bantered together. We did.
"She said, 'I just can't imagine Dad being like that'. I said, but he was. He was like that. We did have a laugh. And, you know, she can't believe that whenever he went everywhere or me, we were together with the kids. And we'd go as a family."
Katie highlighted differences in parenting approaches: "Emily doesn't do all that for Pete. I said, me and Pete just did it all together as a family. If we'd got you kids, you would come with us. Like, she goes, 'I just can't imagine it, Mum.'".
During her emotional session on the podcast, Katie also detailed the accusations which led to her split from Peter Andre: "We broke up because he thought I was having an affair with my dressage rider, and I've never slept with him. I just kept my horse there, and I was happy keeping my horse there, and he was married."
She expressed her frustration during their breakup, saying: "But when me and Pete split, because he used to keep saying, that's it. I've had enough. I've had enough. It got to a point where I went well f****** divorce me."
Katie recollected the dramatic day of her separation: "And I remember the day, because then I flew to the Maldives with the kids. That day, I'm at the airport, it's all on Sky News, it wasn't mutual at all."
She said public perception differed from reality: "And then I redone a statement saying I don't want to split with Pete, it's Pete that's splitting with me. Until this day, me and Pete have never sat down and spoken about it."
The mum-of-five opened up about the strains of co-parenting, sharing: "Behind the scenes, it's the most difficult thing, but I realised you get to know what people are really like, and I've had it tough.
"But yeah, it is sad. Never ever sat down with him and spoke about it. We were kept apart...then all of a sudden, split and I think that's where my independence comes from."
After rising to stardom as a Page 3 icon in the 1990s, Katie has graced our screens in numerous TV appearances, including a two-year stint as a panellist on Loose Women.
Not just mum to Junior, 19, and Princess, 17, she's also parent to Harvey, 22, from her past relationship with ex-footballer Dwight Yorke, as well as kids Jett and Bunny with former spouse Kieran Hayler.
Katie has walked down the aisle three times, first with singer Peter Andre in 2005, then with cage fighter Alex Reid in 2010, and lastly, with Kieran in 2013. She's now romantically linked with Married at First Sight contestant JJ Slater.

Noel Edmonds and what he's really like off-camera, revealed by co-worker
Noel Edmonds and what he's really like off-camera, revealed by co-worker Noel Edmonds' friend and co-star Julie has revealed what the TV favourite is really like off-screen and how he's settled in to life in New Zealand since he moved there in 2019 Noel Edmonds had worked with British expat Julie on his River Haven ineyard (Image: Julie Crook ) A woman who worked alongside Noel Edmonds at his River Haven estate in Ngatimoti, New Zealand, has shared her insight into the television personality's off-screen nature. Following his departure from I'm A Celebrity in 2019, Edmonds relocated to New Zealand, where he purchased the £15m River Haven property. This estate comprises 12 properties, including a pub named The B*gger Inn and his own vineyard. These features will be showcased in an upcoming ITV documentary that follows Edmonds as he builds a new life in New Zealand.

While we were working on the vineyard, he was giving us water and ice pops, and he got to know everybody's name and even when you go to the B**ger Inn for a meal, he'll just come over and just have a chat whether you know him or not, and some Kiwis don't even know that he's a celebrity. "He doesn't shy away from hard work either, he was getting his hands dirty." The British star had bought the property after relocating New Zealand with his wife Liz (Image: ITV ) Julie has responded to the criticism aimed at Noel over his purchase of River Haven, which has stirred a local and media storm since he moved in, per a report from the Express. She weighed in on the situation, calling his relocation 'great' for driving tourism to Ngatimoti, thanks to his vineyard being located there. Discussing Noel's charitable nature, Julie highlighted his $10,000 contribution towards clearing a local school's debt. However, she conceded that Noel's particularly British dry wit doesn't always resonate with the locals. Expanding on this, she remarked: "I don't think because they don't get him and as an immigrant from the UK, we have the English banter so I understand it, and Kiwis don't get that sense of humour, and it can come across as a bit weird to them." The first episode offers viewers a glimpse into how Noel and his wife Liz are getting on with the community, featuring highlights such as Noel outlining his health regimen, the eye-catching golden statue outside his pub, and a revelation from Noel that he "was an emperor in a past life".

TikTok user Emily Guebs (@emilyguebs) shared her wisdom for a smooth finish in a video that has amassed 2.4 million views. She explained that she does not wax, laser, or sugar her bikini line but still receives compliments on the smooth finish. The first step of the process she has mastered is ensuring her bikini line is the last part of her body she shaces. According to Emily, this "gives the follicles time to soften up in the warm water".

And as for the type of razor you should opt for, the TikToker said she was surprised by what works best. "I've been using cheap razors forever, as long as you're using one that is staying in a clean and dry environment and you're cleaning it regularly, I really don't think you have to use a super nice razor," she said. She discussed the best direction for shaving to prevent irritation, explaining that it should always be "sideways and down, not up".

Homes Under The Hammer star 'failed on every level' with £500k pub rennovation
Martin Roberts has admitted he drastically underestimated the time and cost of his latest project, with his deadline of two years up and half a million spent on a derelict pub Homes Under The Hammer star Martin Roberts admits he has "failed on every level", after he underestimated how challenging it would be to renovate a derelict South Wales pub. The former I'm A Celebrity contestant, 61, bought the Hendrewen Hotel in Rhondda in 2023, and invested half a million to revamp the rundown boozer. Not far from his own farmhouse, renovation guru Martin wanted to help the local community, which he said had "lost their heart". But he has now admitted he had completely misjudged how much time and money it would take. Having originally estimated it could be done in two years at the cost of £500,000, Martin has already gone over his deadline and the makeover is nowhere near finished. He admits it has been 'challenging', and has only been motivated to get through thanks to his team of 15-17 year olds, who have been working with his tradesmen. Martin hoped it would give them practical skills to use when they leave education, having chosen a pub in one of the most deprived areas in the country. The reality TV star wanted to give the kids a "step up the ladder" to help them get jobs when they finish, as well as planning to employ 30 locals when his project is finally complete. Speaking to the Sun, Martin explained how he felt like he'd failed. He told the paper: "For a man who spends all his time telling people to make sure they stick to their budgets and timescales, I have failed on every single level. "I'm still smiling but, oh my word, what a challenge it's been, I'll be honest, it's the first commercial property I've ever done. There have been lots of residential houses and flats, but commercial properties have a lot more complications, I'd say we are 60 per cent there." Martin's vision for his hotel includes an eight-bedroom establishment, with each of the rooms having a television theme. He plans to have Fawlty Towers, A Question of Sport and Homes Under The Hammer themed accommodations, paying homage to the show he's presented for more than 20 years. The TV star previously told WalesOnline: "I often act a bit on gut instinct, and possibly don't always tell my wife because sometimes I think there's a danger I will be talked out of things because they appear daft on the surface, I only sort of mention it when it's too late!' He added: 'I've never run a pub, I've never run a restaurant, and I've never run a hotel. So, hey, what could possibly go wrong?!" Martin's idea for his new venture came after he had emergency surgery and suffered a terrifying health scare after he suffered chest pains. He thought he had COVID, but when he was hospitalised, medics told him he had pericardial effusion - a build up of fluid around his heart. Doctors warned him that he could only have hours to live if he didn't go in for the op. He told Metro: "It was a bit of an eye-opener to be honest, being three hours from death, that's always going to ruin your day. "I was told to slow down and really take things easy… so I bought a pub which needed complete renovating and which I've got try and run, having no experience of running a pub, restaurant or a hotel. It suddenly makes you realise how fragile we all are in lots of ways."
