At the end of the day, they broke up when I was two years old so I don’t even have any memory of them being together.”, reports the Mirror.In contrast, Peter and Katie’s son Junior has kept mum on the drama. However, Junior recently shared a reflective post about his choice to embrace a “lowkey” period in his life.Taking to Instagram, he penned: “Sometimes the most quiet seasons are the most powerful ones. I’ve been moving in silence, learning, growing, making moves you haven’t seen yet. I think about you all more than you know….and when the times right, you’ll understand why I’ve been so lowkey.”My time is coming and when it does, we’re all going up together.”Peter Andre speaks about Junior’s statement in his latest column(Image: Redferns)Now, in Peter’s exclusive column for new! magazine, the singer and father, who also shares three children with wife Emily, expressed his admiration for his son.Peter penned: “For those who saw Junior’s post on his socials, he said, the ‘quiet seasons are the most powerful ones,’ and I know he means it.”After music success, he stepped back – to be a real teenager, really. Plus, he moved in with his girlfriend and has just been enjoying life. Knowing J, he’ll show the world what he’s got. He’s a talented songwriter.”As his dad, of course I’ll always offer work advice, but he does his own thing and I love that. He will do things in his own time.”This follows Peter dropping a bombshell statement regarding his former wife Katie Price, which declared: “For sixteen years, I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silent has been incredibly frustrating. That ends today.Junior recently revealed his ‘quiet season'(Image: OK!/Alex James)”The latest comments about my children’s welfare and living arrangements compel me to set the record straight. For well-documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood. In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement. I have never made this public before, out of respect for my children.”In 2011 and 2015, publicly documented court cases, found my ex-wife had made false claims. She was ordered to pay substantial damages and legal costs, and to apologise, to me and my management. The same falsehoods are being repeated today.”Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations I have yet to address. Those will now be dealt with in the coming months.”In response to his allegations, a representative for Katie told the Mirror: “Kate is in a much better and clear headspace and is at peace with the situation, this was in the past and she doesn’t feel the need to bring up tit for tat comments, but more importantly she’s dealing with this the right way and it’s now in her lawyers hands. Kate will no longer be gaslight and bullied as she once was..”Article continues belowWant all the biggest Showbiz and TV news straight to your inbox?

EastEnders star Cheryl Fergison, who played the beloved Heather Trott in the BBC soap, has opened up about her money struggles after she was scammed by someone very close to herSue Lee, Alison Graves Lifestyle and Features Editor and Bekka Barnard TV & Showbiz Reporter12:37, 25 Aug 2025EastEnders’ Cheryl Fergison was left battling “loans and bills” after the horror incident(Image: BBC)EastEnders’ Cheryl Fergison was left without a penny to her name.In her candid new memoir Behind The Scenes, the Heather Trott actress opens up about her life, career and personal struggles.Soap star Fergison describes how she was left financially ruined after being deceived by her own accountant: “I’m a survivor. It’s not that I’m a glass half full person; I just know I am lucky to have a glass at all.””I wanted to pulverise him, really I did. I wanted to grab him by the collar and scream in his face. I wanted him to feel the crushing panic I’d felt, the betrayal and the grief,” reveals Cheryl, recalling how in 2012 she left the Celebrity Big Brother house only to discover her accountant had swindled her, reports the Mirror.”For five years, I paid him. For five years he pocketed the money and didn’t pay a single penny to HMRC. Everything I had built, saved and worked for was gone.”Cheryl is best known for playing Heather Trott in the BBC soap EastEnders(Image: Joseph Okpako, WireImagevia Getty Images)”I don’t use the word hate very often. It’s a heavy word, one you can’t always take back, but in this case I meant it. I hated him. Not just for what he did, but for how he made me feel about myself, for the mess he left behind. For every sleepless night, every tear, every humiliating phone call to the tax office, to banks, to friends trying to figure out how the hell I was going to keep my head above water.”Cheryl confessed that “going broke when you’re famous is the worst” because people around you “expect you to have a lot of money,” not “juggling overdrafts, maxed out credit cards, payday loans and mountains of bills”.Fergison left the soap back in 2012(Image: BBC)”I’d just come out of one of the biggest soaps in the country, I’d done Celebrity Big Brother, I was still in the papers, still recognised in the street but behind the scenes I was totally skint.”The Blackpool-born actress, who appeared in EastEnders between 2007 and 2012, also touched on her personal relationships and revealed how she separated from her former husband Jay Saddiqi in 2008 after eight years togehter.In an excerpt taken from her memoir, she explains how she realised he had been unfaithful: “I pulled the seatbelt across my body and then it hit me. A scent. Light, sweet, floral and powdery, but definitely not mine.Cheryl’s autobiography covers everything from her career to her relationship woes(Image: Justin Goff Photos, Justin Goff Photos/Getty Images)”‘Jay, why can I smell women’s perfume on the seatbelt?’ I said, sniffing it again like a bloodhound. He snapped his head round, a flicker of annoyance flashing in his eyes: ‘You’re imagining things, Cheryl.'””To this day, every time I get into a car and pull on a seatbelt, I sniff it. I began to suspect that my husband was cheating on me, but I tried to convince myself I was wrong.”A phone bill then landed on the doormat, showing calls to an unfamiliar number. When she dialled it a woman picked up, but when she rang again Jay’s voice answered.Join the Daily Star’s WhatsApp for the sexiest headlines, showbiz gossip and lots moreThe Daily Star is now on WhatsApp and we want you to join us!Through the app, we’ll send you the sassiest showbiz stories, some naught headline and a seismic smattering of aliens…along with the latest breaking news of course.To join our community, all you have to do to join isclick on this link, select ‘Join Chat’ and you’re in!No one will be able to see who has sign up and no one can send messages except for the Daily Star team.

Emmerdale fans are convinced they have found the perfect explanation for how Mackenzie Boyd will return to the village following his apparent murder at the hands of John Sugden10:51, 25 Aug 2025According to ITV viewers, Mackenzie may not be dead after all(Image: ITV)Emmerdale fans are convinced that Mackenzie Boyd isn’t truly dead.Viewers are convinced that the character, portrayed by Lawrence Robb, will make a dramatic comeback to the village. Earlier this week Mack stumbled upon a shocking revelation about John Sugden, played Oliver Farnworth, hinting at his involvement in Nate Robinson’s [Jurell Carter] murder.This led to a heated face-off where Mack shoved John and made a run for it into the woods. John chased after Mackenzie, armed with a bow and arrow. He let loose an arrow which struck Mack’s chest, causing him to fall.Upon finding Mackenzie, John insisted he had no other option but to silence him. He picked up a rock and threw it at Mack, seemingly killing him instantly, reports the Express.Emmerdale fans think he will be back on the show by Christmas(Image: ITV)As 22 August’s episode kicked off, John was spotted standing in the woods observing a dying fire. He then returned to the cottage and found Aaron Dingle, played byDanny Miller, on his phone and received a call from Mack’s wife Charity Dingle, played Emma Atkins, who is currently enjoying a holiday.Later on, Aaron noticed John cleaning his van and spotted blood on John’s mirror. In a bid to deflect suspicion, John claimed he had accidentally hit a deer and felt remorseful. Little did Aaron know, John was doing more than just sprucing up his van – he was distracted by the sight of blood on John’s mirror above the wheel.John Sugden attacked Mackenzie after hunting him down in the woods(Image: ITV)Returning to the cottage, Aaron failed to notice that John had seized Mackenzie’s mobile phone. To avoid raising alarm, John needed to move quickly to stop Charity from wondering why Mack hadn’t been in contact.Using Mack’s handset, he dispatched a message to Charity stating he no longer wanted to stay married to her, though fans reckon there might be a shocking comeback twist in store.Fans gathered online to share their wild theories(Image: ITV)Taking to Reddit, one fan penned: “Just to remind everyone of one of soaplands most enduring tropes…No body, no murder/death. Sure we saw something bleeding under the rug, but we didn’t exactly see who it was. Looking forward to the return of the Mack at Xmas!”Another added: “I’m thinking the same thing. I’d love it if he wasn’t but his injuries were pretty bad before the rock. But then, it’s soap, they’ve pulled things off that are more convoluted, I don’t like his chances, as showing him alive after that would still be gory too.”A third person remarked: “Mackenzie CAN’T be dead we need a ”Return Of The Mack’.”Article continues belowJoin the Daily Star’s WhatsApp for the sexiest headlines, showbiz gossip and lots moreThe Daily Star is now on WhatsApp and we want you to join us!Through the app, we’ll send you the sassiest showbiz stories, some naught headline and a seismic smattering of aliens…along with the latest breaking news of course.To join our community, all you have to do to join isclick on this link, select ‘Join Chat’ and you’re in!No one will be able to see who has sign up and no one can send messages except for the Daily Star team.

Tommy Fury, who met his partner Molly-Mae Hague on Love Island back in 2019, was issued a stern warning about spending time with his young daughter Bambi09:20, 25 Aug 2025Tommy is giving fans an insight into his life with his new BBC documentary(Image: Molly-Mae/Instagram)Tommy Fury was warned not to see his daughter Bambi.In his new BBC documentary, Tommy: The Good, The Bad, The Fury, the boxer was told he shouldn’t spend Christmas Day with his young daughter, Bambi, by his father John.Father Fury argued that family time over the festive season would knock Tommy off course. In the second episode of the series, John made it abundantly clear that he wanted his son to throw himself completely into his boxing training camp.He told Tommy: “The thing we don’t want is distractions. People coming. We don’t want it, because when you’re here and you’re talking to people you’re not resting. You want to be training eat, drink, sleep, train, repeat.”Tommy tried to argue back with his dad, but John stood firm on his opinion(Image: CREDIT LINE:BBC / Optomen Television Limited)”It’s six weeks of hell but you’ve got another four to six weeks to go and to do the other stuff, haven’t you? All that’s out there is the pub, alcohol, s*** food and s*** company.”Tommy clapped back: “That’s all I ever do anyway. I don’t do nothing else my whole life. Train,” reports the Mirror. John remained unmoved and told his son that discipline sometimes required making tough choices, even when it came to family: “If you can’t sacrifice six weeks of your time without your children, all that s*** in the world outside. What we doing here?”Tommy begged his father to allow him to see Bambi on Christmas Day(Image: Instagram)Tommy remained convinced that a brief break from training camp to visit his daughter on Christmas Day 2024 wouldn’t impact his boxing performance: “I can’t see, on Christmas Day, me picking the baby, me saying ‘Merry Christmas’, I can’t see that going to lead me to win a fight or not.”John fired back saying he “is not doing that,” while Tommy pleaded: “You just got to go and hug the baby for five minutes. There’s no harm in that.”The doting father was desperate to spend time with his daughter(Image: Instagram)His father stood firm and explained: “You go back, you have your Christmas, you hold the baby, all of a sudden you get an L on your record for that day. You will never look at them in the same light again, family or not family because you’ll resent them. […] The greats don’t do it.”Following their heated exchange, Tommy opened up to the cameras and said: “My dad doesn’t understand the modern world and obviously he’s just an old school fellow and the way the world is today, you know, even I find it hard to live in the world sometimes today, with the amount of b******* that’s going on.”Join the Daily Star’s WhatsApp for the sexiest headlines, showbiz gossip and lots moreThe Daily Star is now on WhatsApp and we want you to join us!Through the app, we’ll send you the sassiest showbiz stories, some naught headline and a seismic smattering of aliens…along with the latest breaking news of course.To join our community, all you have to do to join isclick on this link, select ‘Join Chat’ and you’re in!No one will be able to see who has sign up and no one can send messages except for the Daily Star team.
