Katie Price forced to 'pull out of highly-anticipated tell-all tour' with Kerry Katona
Katie Price has reportedly been 'forced to pull out of her highly-anticipated tell-all tour' with Kerry Katona.
The pair's show An Evening with Katie and Kerry - On Tour is set to kick off in Ellesmere Port on Thursday, September 11 and conclude in Hull on October 22.
But after 'trying everything to make it work,' Katie, 46, will have to sit out the mammoth 33-date run due to childcare issues.
The model is mum to Harvey, 22, with ex Dwight Yorke, Junior, 19, and Princess 17, with ex-husband Peter Andre, and Jett, 11, and Bunny, 10, with ex-husband Kieran Hayler.
A source told The Sun: 'Katie is gutted and tried everything she could to make it work but she has had to step away from the tour because she has childcare commitments and also a very busy schedule.'

They added: 'She hates letting her fans down and hopes to be able to do something similar in the future.
'At the moment, it's unclear whether Kerry will continue without her or if the whole tour will be scrapped.'
MailOnline has contacted Katie's representative for comment.
The duo are set to share 'stories of their friendship, marriage and divorce, bankruptcy, I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, the importance of family, their constant press attention and turning their lives around.'
Each night will also feature singing, dancing and questions from the audience.
Kerry rose to fame in 1998 as a member of the girl group Atomic Kitten, while Katie gained recognition for her glamour modelling work.
When Katie went on to tie the knot with Peter Andre in 2005, Kerry supported her pal on her big day as one of her bridesmaids.
However, the pair then famously fell out in 2007 when Katie called Kerry a 'druggie' and accused her husband at the time, Mark Croft, of being 'a bully'.
They did not speak for months, until Kerry revealed that Katie had apologised for her comments and they have called a truce.
However, by February 2008 the two had reignited their feud once more, after Kerry commented on allegations made by Katie's former nanny about her employer's abilities as a mum.
Following Katie and Peter's split in 2009, Kerry took her revenge by getting very cosy with the Mysterious Girl singer and going on playdates with their kids.
While both insisted they were just pals, Kerry said he would be her 'ideal' boyfriend, after they joined the same management company.
Their closeness reportedly infuriated Katie, but later that year it was alleged that Kerry was hoping to reconcile their friendship.
Kerry and Mark eventually divorced in 2011, after a relationship marred by cheating allegations from both parties and claims he had an 'obsession with spending her money,' that contributed to her bankruptcy.
Kerry went on to admit to her drug abuse and crippling addiction, saying her marriage to Mark was 'about cocaine'.
In the wake of the split, Kerry buried the hatchet with Katie again, later admitting that her friend had been 'right' when she called her out.
The pair became so close that Kerry invited Katie to be her bridesmaid at her wedding to her next husband George Kay, in September 2014.
However, Katie pulled out of her official duties last minute because she couldn't get into the size eight bridesmaid dress, after giving birth to daughter Bunny six weeks earlier.
Despite this the BFFs seemed to still be on track, appearing together in Instagram posts and at football matches, before making joint appearances on Loose Women, where Katie gushed that the pair had a 'true friendship'.
It was reported that the duo had become inseparable once again now they both lived in Sussex and had both suffered heartbreaks, with Katie's husband Kieran Hayler cheating on her and Kerry divorcing George.
Despite the former foes becoming best pals once again, rumours of their war of words rising again still swirled.
In September 2019, Katie was reportedly 'furious' with her friend, after the Atomic Kitten star said Katie had ' crossed the line' with her latest cosmetic surgeries.
At the time Katie had displayed the results of one of her many plastic surgery sprees, after undergoing yet another face and eye lift, a breast reduction and a bum lift reversal in Turkey.
In an attempt to give her a more youthful-looking visage, surgeons made incisions by her ears, and photos after the procedure showed the star sporting painful looking wounds and stitching at the base of her ears.
Kerry admitted she was worried when she saw gruesome images of her pal after going under the knife once again.
But The Sun reported that Katie felt as though she has been 'stabbed in the back' by her friend and sees her word as hypocritical as Kerry has also been open about having had multiple cosmetic surgeries in the past.
However, Kerry denied that the pair had fallen out and said they were still 'great friends' while insisting that 'nothing could destroy their friendship'. The duo made sure to squash the feud rumours once and for all by filming a video together, poking fun at the speculation.
The two TV personalities have stayed close, with their daughters even forming a strong friendship of their own, which had been credited with keeping their mothers' bond going.
Katie's daughter Princess, 17, and Kerry's daughter Heidi, 18, have been best friends since birth and have brought Kerry and Katie back together many times.
While both enjoy having a laugh together, Katie and Kerry have also supported each other through tough times.
In July 2020, Kerry looked after Princess while Katie's son Harvey was in intensive care with a fever and breathing issues. And she was there for the star in August 2021, when Katie was hospitalised herself after being assaulted by her then fiancé Carl Woods.
However, the pair still took subtle swipes at each other over the next few years, suggesting their bond wasn't always so steadfast.
Kerry complained that Katie wouldn't answer her calls and that she speaks to Princess more than her mum.
In February 2022, she even quipped that Katie only got in touch with her to get her advice about OnlyFans. The mother-of-five has raked in thousands on the adult subscription site, with Katie then following in her footsteps.
The singer also mocked her pal for all her public scandals and her infamous relationship with ex-husband Peter.
Speculation that the friendship had soured grew over recent years, until Katie shut down the rumours in February 2023. That same month, Kerry was said to have vowed to help Katie 'turn her life around' following her split from fiancé Carl.
So when Katie moved on with Married At First Sight star JJ Slater, Kerry didn't hesitate to give her seal of approval and voiced her joy that her friend had found love again.
After finally declaring Katie was his 'girlfriend' following a whole host of of loved-up snaps on Instagram, JJ, 31, said it would have been 'ideal' if she had been the one he was matched with on the E4 reality show, as it would have 'saved a lot of time'.

28 Years Later fans say they're WILDLY distracted by zombie's surprising appendage
Fans of a popular movie series said they were constantly being distracted from the sequel film's plot because one of the zombies kept flaunting his surprisingly large penis. 28 Years Later, which came out Friday, is the follow-up to 28 Days Later, a 2002 apocalypse film starring Cillian Murphy. The premise is that Murphy's character, a bicycle courier, wakes up 28 days after a highly contagious virus was released, causing society in Britain to collapse. The sequel, starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes, focused on a small group of survivors of the so-called 'Rage Virus' 28 years after the initial outbreak. Throughout the 2025 film, the group is repeatedly pursued by the Alpha, the noticeably hung zombie that has caught the attention of people on social media. The Alpha is presumably the leader of the infected and is bigger, stronger and obviously more well-endowed than his counterparts. Dr. Kelson, one of the survivors played by Fiennes, calls him Samson, a reference to the biblical hero of the same name known for his extraordinary strength and his battles against the Philistines. The Alpha certainly lives up to his name, as he is able to withstand barrages of arrows and pull off the heads of humans with their spines still attached. But the Alpha's power in that department was largely ignored by social media users, nearly all of whom were thoroughly focused on his downstairs anatomy. Many threw around the joke that the film should have been called 28 Inches Later. One commenter pointed out that the constant full frontal male nudity was only possible because the zombies were wearing no clothes. According to the movie's logic, they were nude because the clothes they had been wearing had degraded in the decades since they were infected. 'The infected in 28 years later don't wear clothes and it's one infected who got like a 10 incher,' they wrote. Another person compared the Alpha to Jason Momoa in looks, though the famous actor wasn't actually in the movie. 'Went to 28 years later. Wasn't expecting to see a well hung Jason Momoa zombie throughout the whole thing lmao,' they wrote. Someone else began to write what seemed like a legitimate review of the movie, only to mention the penis once more. '28 Years Later is a hauntingly beautiful, deeply affecting evolution of the franchise. There's horror and dread, but also strangely stunning moments of beauty and a giant zombie dong. Well worth the wait,' the person wrote. But the Alpha's power in that department was largely ignored by social media users, nearly all of whom were thoroughly focused on his downstairs anatomy Behind the scenes, it was a nightmare to film the movie, said Director Danny Boyle. That's because with all the extras playing nude zombies, the film crew needed to take extra care to protect the film's child star, Alfie Williams. Boyle told PEOPLE: 'I mean, if you're recently infected [with the zombie virus], you'd have some clothes, but if you've been infected for a long time, the clothes would just disintegrate with the way that you behave. 'We never knew [about rules governing nudity on set when there's a child present] going in, it was a nightmare.' In order to still film scenes featuring naked zombies while adhering to the safeguarding rules, Boyle revealed the actors had to wear prosthetics. 'Interestingly, because there was a 12-year-old boy on set, you're not allowed for anybody to be naked, not really naked, so they look naked, but it's all prosthetics,' he shared. 'So it's like: ''Oh my God,'' so we had to make everybody prosthetic genitals.' Boyle said he was keen to push boundaries with the elements of nudity and gore in the film, and he's glad studio bosses were supportive of his plans. So far, 28 Years Later has been well received, with an 89 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Kneecap Glastonbury slot ‘not appropriate', says Starmer
UK prime minister Sir Keir Starmer has said he does not think Kneecap's planned Glastonbury Festival performance is 'appropriate'. He made the comments after Kneecap member Liam Og O hAnnaidh appeared in court on Wednesday, after being charged for allegedly displaying a flag in support of proscribed terrorist organisation Hezbollah while saying 'up Hamas, up Hezbollah' at a gig in November last year. Advertisement In an interview with The Sun, Sir Keir was asked if he thought the trio should perform at Glastonbury, to which he replied: 'No, I don't, and I think we need to come down really clearly on this. 'This is about the threats that shouldn't be made, I won't say too much because there's a court case on, but I don't think that's appropriate.' It comes after Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch said she thought the BBC 'should not be showing' Kneecap's performance at the festival next week. Mrs Badenoch said in the X post, which was accompanied by an article from The Times that claimed the BBC had not banned the group: 'The BBC should not be showing Kneecap propaganda. Advertisement 'One Kneecap band member is currently on bail, charged under the Terrorism Act. 'As a publicly funded platform, the BBC should not be rewarding extremism.' The Tory Leader of the UK opposition has previously called for the group to be banned from Glastonbury, and last year Kneecap won a discrimination case against the UK government in Belfast High Court after she tried to refuse them a £14,250 funding award when she was a minister. Kneecap took aim at Mrs Badenoch in their latest single, The Recap, released just before their headline set at London's Wide Awake festival in May, with the song mocking the politician's attempts to block their arts funding and the Conservative Party's election loss. Advertisement The BBC should not be showing Kneecap propaganda. One Kneecap band member is currently on bail, charged under the Terrorism Act. As a publicly funded platform the BBC should not be rewarding extremism. — Kemi Badenoch (@KemiBadenoch) June 21, 2025 On Wednesday, Ó hAnnaidh, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, was cheered by hundreds of supporters as he arrived with bandmates Naoise Ó Caireallain and JJ Ó Dochartaigh at Westminster Magistrates' Court in 'Free Mo Chara' T-shirts. During the proceedings, a prosecutor told the court the 27-year-old is 'well within his rights' to voice his opinions on Israel and Palestine, but the alleged incident at the O2 Forum in Kentish Town, north London, is a 'wholly different thing'. Ó hAnnaidh was released on unconditional bail until his next hearing at the same court on August 20th. Following the hearing, the rapper said: 'For anybody going to Glastonbury, you can see us there at 4pm on the Saturday. Advertisement 'If you can't be there we'll be on the BBC, if anybody watches the BBC. We'll be at Wembley in September. 'But most importantly: free, free Palestine.' The charge came following a counter-terrorism police investigation after the historical gig footage came to light, which also allegedly shows the group calling for the deaths of MPs. In April, Kneecap apologised to the families of murdered MPs but said footage of the incident had been 'exploited and weaponised'. Advertisement In an initial post in response to the charge, Kneecap said: '14,000 babies are about to die of starvation in Gaza, with food sent by the world sitting on the other side of a wall, and once again the British establishment is focused on us. 'We deny this 'offence' and will vehemently defend ourselves, this is political policing, this is a carnival of distraction. 'We are not the story, genocide is, as they profit from genocide, they use an 'anti-terror law' against us for displaying a flag thrown on stage. A charge not serious enough to even warrant their crown court, instead a court that doesn't have a jury. What's the objective? 'To restrict our ability to travel. To prevent us speaking to young people across the world. To silence voices of compassion. To prosecute artists who dare speak out. 'Instead of defending innocent people, or the principles of international law they claim to uphold, the powerful in Britain have abetted slaughter and famine in Gaza, just as they did in Ireland for centuries. Then, like now, they claim justification. 'The IDF units they arm and fly spy plane missions for are the real terrorists, the whole world can see it.' Formed in 2017, the group are known for their provocative lyrics in both Irish and English and their merchandise. Ireland Kneecap receive rockstar reception after terrorism...

A BBC spokesperson said: 'As the broadcast partner, the BBC will be bringing audiences extensive music coverage from Glastonbury, with artists booked by the festival organisers. 'Whilst the BBC doesn't ban artists, our plans will ensure that our programming will meet our editorial guidelines. Decisions about our output will be made in the lead-up to the festival.'
