Ex-glamour model Katie Price has spoken out about the reported cracks between her and her daughter, after she didn’t appear in Princess’ new reality show12:54, 08 Aug 2025Katie said it was “wrong” for Princess to be put in a situation to explain the alleged rift(Image: Instagram/Katie Price)Princess Andre is “too scared to tell the truth” about an alleged family “rift” in the family, her mum Katie Price has claimed. The ex-glamour model and her eldest daughter have been plagued by rumours of tension between them in recent weeks, amid news that Katie would not feature in Princess’s own reality programme.The Princess Diaries follows Princess alongside her dad Peter Andre and stepmum Emily. The show focuses on her journey into adulthood after turning 18. At one point in the show, she said she wished for a better and happier childhood.Despite Katie maintaining a positive relationship with her children, she alleged that behind-the-scenes, whispers suggest a rift between her and Princess. Katie also claimed she was barred from the show, even though she was in Ibiza at the same time as Princess and had tearfully pleaded with the producers to let her back in.Now, the 47-year-old has hinted while Princess is starring in her own show and interacting with the press, she’s “too frightened” to disclose the truth. This came after Katie sparked concern among fans with her appearance in a family photo, following her explanation of her weight loss.Katie Price(Image: Getty Images)”I said to Princess ‘Have you seen any edits of the show?’ and she said ‘No’,” she disclosed on her podcast, The Katie Price Show. “So it’ll be interesting to see what’s cut out. I won’t be watching the show and I won’t be promoting the show because I don’t need it rubbed in my face of everyone playing happy families and regarding me as the other parent.”Although I support Princess and everything she does, I think it’s really wrong for her age to be put in this situation because she’s going to have to do press, and they will ask. Apparently they’re doing This Morning, Junior and Princess, they are going to be asked ‘What’s all this about your mum? Why isn’t your mum in it?'”Katie continued: “I think Princess would be too scared to tell the truth because Dad and management wouldn’t have me in it, which is the truth. Princess shouldn’t have that pressure; she should be enjoying it and not worrying about what her parents think. It’s very healthy for both parents to support their kids.”I know her management listens to my podcast, so I just want to say one thing, and it’s to all parents out there. Any parent out there, how would you feel as a parent that you’re so close to your child but then you’ve got other people taking them off you? Not letting you turn up or support your child?The 18-year-old stars in her own show, The Princess Diaries(Image: Reach PLC/James Rudland)”They just take them off you. They don’t acknowledge you. They don’t tell you anything. They don’t involve you in anything. How harmful is that to a mother? It’s so upsetting.”Princess is presently managed by CAN Group, the same management company that represents her dad. CAN also looked after Katie after her appearance on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! and throughout her marriage to Peter.Nevertheless, Katie has been open about her opposition to the firm managing Princess, claiming the director harbours ill feelings towards her since their professional relationship ended following her divorce from Peter in 2009.Katie was told that she couldn’t be “deleted completely”, but while she may be prevented from featuring on the programme, producers have most likely recognised they couldn’t create the show without referencing Katie.”When I was in Ibiza, Princess was there in Ibiza and I wasn’t allowed to meet up with her,” she revealed.Katie even claimed she was not allowed to meet up with Princess in Ibiza(Image: Katie Price/Instagram)During an evening out on the party island, Katie bumped into the producers of The Princess Diaries and broke down in tears, expressing her desire to be included.”I never cry,” she stated, before explaining that the producer witnessed her distress and “knew it was right” that Katie should be supporting her daughter.Article continues below”I don’t know where it’s going to go from here, but it’s alright for them not to have me in the show, but I’m alright to be used for headlines for the show.” More

That’s behind the scenes.”Alan added: “But the thing is people don’t understand there’s no… The toilets aren’t working when we get there. We have to go and use someone’s toilet or a portaloo.”Amanda agreed: “We have to beg for… I mean, how many umbrellas have you put up over various countries when I’ve had to wee behind them? You’ll notice that there’s hundreds of costume changes for us as well. So we travel, for some reason, the company that we do it with, always hire the smallest cars.”And I’m in the back with Christian, who does our hair and make up. You’re in the front doing the music selection.”Amanda has revealed she runs regularly and does yoga as well as the “Viking Method” to stay in shape. The Viking Method sees the TV star do squat thrusts, boxing, bunny hops, jumps and crawls.She told The Times in 2023: “I am not a slave to any beauty or fitness regime because I love food too much. I eat cheese and butter and I love a drink.”But the deal I struck with myself was I have to run for my rosé wine in the summer and run for my red wine in winter. And I don’t do it because I feel I have to; I do it for my own discipline and dignity.”Article continues belowHave you joined Threads?

At bedtime I couldn’t breathe properly and things like that.”So I think like the anxiety was there, like I remember all of that, but I didn’t know what it was. So I’d have like blood tests all the time and things like that and obviously nothing ever came back and back then I was just a ‘worrier’ – y’know, like it wasn’t what it is now, do you know what I mean? But I think for me, the first time I realised that it was like a proper issue was actually in The Saturdays.”Both Frankie’s representatives and those close to Rochelle have denied a feud despite speculation from fans(Image: Aimee Rose McGhee/Dave Benett/Ge)In 2021, Rochelle revealed the band still see one another but hadn’t discussed a reunion.

Celebrity hairdresser Michael Douglas has opened up about the time he died for two minutes and 47 seconds on an operating table after an anaesthetist wrongly injected morphine into his ‘spinal cord’Andy Gilpin Deputy Editor in Chief and Bang Showbiz07:53, 08 Aug 2025Updated 07:53, 08 Aug 2025Michael Douglas ‘died’ and was brought back to life after an epidural went wrong(Image: BANG Showbiz)A famed hair stylist to the stars had a brush with death on the operating table.Michael Douglas, 51, was dramatically “brought back to life” after an anaesthetist mistakenly injected morphine into his “spinal cord”, causing his brain to “numb” during a procedure to treat his recurring lung collapse condition.Michael’s lungs had “spontaneously” collapsed “12 times in total” landing him in hospital “for a couple of weeks” each time to have them “re-inflated”. This was due to the air he inhaled causing a tear and subsequently “puncturing” one of his lungs.His condition was deemed “life-threatening”, as if both lungs collapsed, or if the left one fell “hard” enough to compress his heart, it could prove fatal.At the age of 20, he underwent an “extremely painful” and complex operation to “glue” his lungs “up inside” his body.During this procedure, the anaesthetist administered the first epidural to numb his chest, as tubes needed to be “pulled in and out on a daily basis” to allow space for the lung to re-expand.However, the second epidural was erroneously injected into Michael’s “spinal cord”, leading to a terrifying two minutes and 47 seconds where he was technically dead. The misplaced “morphine” had “numbed” his brain, causing his heart to stop and all his organs to fail.Michael, who is romantically linked with telly host Davina McCall, 57, shared a harrowing tale on the latest episode of the How to Cut It in the Hairdressing Industry podcast: “[Aged] 20 I had these operations. And I’d been in hospital for about 18 months, pretty much on and off at this point. And then they did the right side, and that worked.”It’s an extremely painful operation. And they gave you an epidural, which is what they give to pregnant women, and with the epidural, they can numb different parts of your body.”So they said, ‘We’re going to numb your chest with this epidural because these tubes have got to be pulled in and out on a daily basis to give you room for the lung to come back up.'”.”Anyway, the second epidural I had went wrong, and then I died on the operating table.”Then I was resuscitated, and brought back to life. I died for two minutes, 47 seconds, they said.”So when I woke up eventually, I was in intensive care. I was vomiting all these tubes out of my mouth and stuff like that, but I was paralysed essentially. I couldn’t move my body because my brain had been filled with morphine, because that’s what happened.”The epidural needle went into my spinal cord. All the morphine went straight up to my brain. All my organs failed, and my heart stopped because the brain essentially just got numbed, but it stopped doing anything.”So it stopped keeping me alive essentially.”After the “morphine” had left Michael’s system and he “came back to life”, there were concerns from the medical team that he might never fully recover.Michael shared: “So anyway, I had to wait for all this morphine to drain from my system, just about a week or so, and then slowly my body came back to life.”I started to move my arms and legs again and stuff like that, but they didn’t really know whether I’d ever walk again or anything.”Upon regaining consciousness, he was greeted by a nurse who asked him if he knew his whereabouts, to which he responded, ‘Not really. ‘”She then informed him: “‘I’m going to get someone to come and talk to you.And the anaesthetist came over and he said, ‘Do you have any idea what happened to you?”To which he replied, ‘No.'”.Article continues belowThe anaesthetist then revealed: “And he said, ‘OK, I’m going to tell you. I made a mistake and put the needle in the wrong place, and we killed you, and then we brought you back to life.” More

She told the outlet that they sold 40,000 seats at the stadium itself, and the one-off gig was also livestreamed.She remembered: “He turned around and he said to me that night, he said ‘I had no idea that so many people liked me’.” When asked why he would have felt like that, Sharon explained that her husband had “always” lived in his “own bubble”.Sharon described Back to the Beginning, which is set to be released as a concert film next year, as a “huge success”.

Sharon told the publication: “I never wanted Ozzy to just disappear without some big event.”She described it as the “best way” to bow out. Sharon noted that it brought him “home” to Birmingham “where it all started” and took place at his favourite venue, which hosts his “beloved” Aston Villa. She declared it was “just perfect”.The lead-up to the gig will feature in the forthcoming documentary Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home, scheduled for BBC release on August 18. The project, originally tracking Ozzy and Sharon’s return to the UK, was captured across three years.It’s been billed as a “moving and inspirational account of the last chapter of Ozzy’s life,” with the broadcaster noting it showcases the legendary rocker and his family.Article continues belowWant all the biggest Showbiz and TV news straight to your inbox?
