Katie Price’s kids Junior and Princess Andre narrowly avoid run in with mum’s ex fiance at Winter Wonderland party

KATIE Price’s kids Junior and Princess Andre narrowly avoided a brush with the glamour model’s ex as they enjoyed a night out at Winter Wonderland.

The festive London attraction opens to the public today, but celebs got a sneak peek of the rides, fairground games and tasty food stalls last night.

Princess, 17, and Junior, 19, who Katie, 46, shares with ex Peter Andre, 51, cut glam figures as they arrived at the event all wrapped up.

Princess, who is juggling college with and influencer brand deal for PLT, donned a white knit pom pom hat with matching chunky scarf.

She paired dark leggings with a thick black puffer coat and furry boots for extra warmth.

The teen beamed as she posed for a series of solo pictures at the event’s red carpet.

Meanwhile, singer Junior was accompanied by his partner Jasmine Orr for the Christmassy event.

He also pulled on a white hat paired with matching joggers and a printed coat.

Former Celebs Go Dating star Jasmine made sure to stay cosy in a snug fury coat and matching scarf, with fluffy ear muffs.

She also donned white leg warmers over her black trousers and trainers.

After cuddling up for a series of sweet pictures at the entrance the trio headed inside – yet thankfully managed to avoid Carl Woods.

The Essex lad – who was engaged to their mum – rocked up to the event in all-black attire.

The used car salesman was accompanied by his new girlfriend Megan Bell, after The Sun exclusively revealed their romance back in May.

A mate of Carl’s told The Sun: “The pair met a few weeks ago and things are progressing well – Megan was a hit with Carl’s friends and family.

“They were just having fun, playing with friends’ children and seemed relaxed. It’s early days but they looked pretty loved up.”

Yet it appears Princess and Junior avoided an awkward encounter with their former step dad to be as they went on to explore the huge park.

Katie Price's relationship history

We take a look back at the highs and lows of Katie Price's relationship history.

1996-1998: Katie got engaged to Gladiators star Warren Furman – aka Ace – with a £3,000 ring. But their relationship didn’t make it as far as ‘I do’.

1998-2000: Katie described Dane Bowers as ‘the love of her life’ but she broke up with the singer when he allegedly cheated on her.

2001: Footballer Dwight Yorke is the father of Katie’s eldest child Harvey. He has had very little to do with Harvey throughout his life.

2002: Rebounding from Dwight, Katie famously had one night of passion with Pop Idol star Gareth Gates, allegedly taking his virginity.

2002-2004: Katie was dating Scott Sullivan when she entered the jungle for I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!. He threatened to “punch Peter’s lights out” when chemistry blossomed between her and Peter Andre.

2004-2009: The jungle romance resulted in Katie marrying Aussie pop star Peter. They had two kids, Junior and Princess, before their bitter split in 2009.

2010-2011: Fresh from her break-up with Peter, Katie enjoyed a whirlwind relationship and marriage with cage fighter Alex Reid. They split 20 months after their Las Vegas wedding.

2011: Katie briefly dated model Danny Cipriani… but it ended as quickly as it begun.

2011-2012: They didn’t speak the same language, but Katie got engaged to Argentinian model Leandro Penna in 2011. He later fled home to South America.

2012-2018: Wedding bells rang once more after Katie met Kieran Hayler in 2013. They had two kids together, Jett and Bunny, before their break-up and divorce.

2018-2019: Katie moved on quickly with Kris Boyson. They had an on-off romance for one year and even got engaged. They split for good in 2019.

2019: Katie was linked to Charles Drury during her on-off relationship with Kris. Charles, who also dated Lauren Goodger, has always denied being in “official relationship” with her.

2020-2023: Car salesman Carl Woods took a shining to Katie in 2020. Their relationship was up and down for three years. They broke up for a final time last year.

2024-present: After weeks of rumours, Katie confirmed her relationship with Married At First Sight star JJ Slater in February this year.

ALL CHANGE

Former Page 3 girl Katie started dating former Love Islander Carl in 2021.

Carl and Katie split for good at the end of 2023 after an on-off relationship of two years.

Katie has since moved on with Married At First Sight star JJ Slater.

Yet a day after Carl revealed his new romance, Katie took a swipe at the “narcissists” in her life in an apparent dig at her exes.

Carl has been no stranger to slapping up insults online either, targeting the star with a cryptic post about “energy” in the aftermath of their break up.

He also argued her new partner JJ was being “used as a sperm donor” as he made comment on her latest relationship.

Victoria Beckham doesn’t have any time to think about Meghan Markle fallout – and has ‘distanced herself’ for key reason

VICTORIA Beckham ‘doesn’t have time’ to think about her fallout with Meghan Markle, says royal pro.

Not only this, but according to Ingrid Seward, royal expert and author, there’s a key reason Posh, 50 and Becks, 49, have distanced themselves from Prince Harry, 40 and Meghan Markle, 43.

The Duchess of Sussex is set to star in her very own cooking show, on the back of her launching her lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard, which has reportedly finished filming but doesn’t yet have a release date.

It’s her second project with Netflix after her 2022 reality docuseries, Harry & Meghan, which gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at their life.

But whilst the release date of Meghan’s upcoming Netflix cooking show hasn’t been revealed, we recently saw the announcement of her ex-best friend Victoria Beckham’s new Netflix documentary.

The House of VB will hit screens next year – and will provide a compelling insight into one of the most recognised women in the world and her journey to build a fashion empire. 

Through access to Victoria herself, an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at her business, never-before-seen archive detailing her fashion journey, her family and those closest to her, the series will tell the story of Victoria’s reinvention as a Creative Director of her own brand. 

But after Meghan and Victoria’s ‘bitter rift’, according to Ingrid Seward, the chances of a reconciliation between the pair is looking slim.

The editor of ‘Majesty’ magazine tells Fabulous: “I only think they would reconcile if they come across each other, and I’m not sure that they really do.

“I can’t think that their paths would particularly cross again.”

Ingrid recognises the key reason why Victoria and David have distanced themselves from the Sussexes.

She adds: “I think the Beckhams have distanced themselves from Meghan and Harry, but for the obvious reasons that we all know, you know Meghan and Harry are in the descendant, not the ascendant.

“[Posh] is actually too busy. She’s got a business. She’s got a very successful husband. She’s got houses all over the place. She’s got children. 

“I don’t think she probably has any time to think about it really.”

How confident Meghan Markle hit the spotlight aged 12

MEGHAN Markle proved herself as a feminist long before hitting the spotlight - pushing for change at just 12.

Footage of the US actress as a school student has surfaced, with the young woman having written letters demanding for a cleaning ad to change their sexist ad’s phrasing from “women” to “people”.

Meghan had taken issue with Ivory’s ad for dishwasher soap, that claimed “women all over America are fighting greasy pots and pans”.

Taking up a pen and paper, the determined student wrote to the company, asking for them to make a change – and they did.

Nickelodeon footage of Meghan explaining just why she had decided to speak out has since resurfaced, with the fresh-faced student already well-spoken and thoughtful.

Speaking to the camera, she explained: “I said – wait a minute, how could someone say that?”

She said that she realised a number of commercials would hurt people’s feelings, and was determined to make a change.

In the 1993 interview, she said: “I don’t think it is right for kids to grow up thinking that mom does everything.

“If you see something that you don’t like or offended by on television or any other place, write letters and send them to the right people and you can really make a difference, not just for yourself but for lots of other people.”

According to Ingrid, the mum-of-two, who is based in California with Prince Harry, 40, and their two children, Archie, five, and Lilibet, three, in a sprawling £12 million, nine-bedroom mansion in Montecito, has a slightly different story to that of the Beckham’s.

She continues: “If Victoria Beckham’s is a success, which I’m sure it will be, I think it’s got more chances of boosting Meghan’s.

Meghan and Harry are in the descendant, not the ascendant

Ingrid Seward

“The Beckhams are so popular and they haven’t really upset anyone in the way that Meghan has, so they’re starting with a clean slate.

“They are so incredibly successful, and it’s all through their own hard work. And people love that it’s a rags to riches story, whereas Meghan’s is a riches to rags story.”

Prince Harry's 'snub' of David Beckham in Australia

AFTER flying for 22 hours from London to Sydney at Prince Harry’s request, David Beckham was puzzled why the prince had not met him.

But the prince had had no plans to see the former England football captain, nor even of being pictured with him, claimed Tom Bower.

It was October 2018, and Harry was hosting the Invictus Games.

Since David had played a prominent role bringing the 2012 Olympics to Britain and an important part in the 2010 unsuccessful bid for the football World Cup, it seemed natural for Prince Harry to ask David to join him at the celebrated competition for injured servicemen.

As a man who loved the royals, David would never refuse such an important request.

But having flown half-way around the world, he was perplexed why officials after he arrived at the sporting venue were playing a dance to keep him happy, but away from Harry.

She wanted no competition in the media from David, and especially not from his wife, Victoria.

The reason for the distance was Meghan, the newly married Duchess of Sussex.

The Beckhams and the Sussexes enjoyed a close friendship, but cracks have formed in the last few years. 

The Duke of Sussex allegedly called David, 49, to accuse him and his wife Victoria, 50, of leaking stories, leaving David ‘furious.’

David was also “snubbed” by Harry after flying for 22 hours from London to Sydney at the royal’s request, for the 2018 Invictus Games.

Meghan’s is a riches to rags story

Ingrid Seward

Cracks first started emerging in the pair’s friendship in spring 2022 when the former footballer invited Prince William and Kate to his son Brooklyn’s wedding – and not Harry and Meghan. 

At the time, a source said: “David’s attachment and history go back with William and Kate and they have a very strong relationship and they were their choice of wedding guests. 

“It was always about them, it was never about Meghan and Harry.

“They are the people David and Victoria are attached to and it’s always been about them because they’ve had a long history together.”

Everything we know about Meghan Markle's new business, American Riviera Orchard

MEGHAN Markle has launched a new Instagram brand called American Riviera Orchard.

Industry insiders said the site will focus on home, food, garden and lifestyle goods.

A source told the Mail: “It’s a lifestyle and cooking brand called American Riviera Orchard.

“The brand is meant to coincide with the launch of a new cookery show for Netflix.

“Meghan will be making, and selling, products such as jams. And at some point there will be a book and blog etc.”

Meghan’s non-fiction show, which according to Deadline will feature Meghan celebrating “the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship”, seems to complement the Duchess of Sussex’s upcoming lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard.

A title for the show or the format has not been revealed yet, but a source told US Weekly that the series “is going to be a take on her and the joy of living. [There will be] little things she’s learned in terms of being a modern-day hostess.”

In July, a Hollywood source told the Daily Beast that production had wrapped and said: “It all went well and it is in the can.”

When it comes to the potential public response to the show, according to Ingrid, Meghan hopes that it will have the same reception as Posh and Becks’ ‘Beckham’ show had.

In a video on TikTok, they shared a look at the red machine, which featured “Chocolates” written at the top and two slots for one penny pieces.

They also used to have mini bars of Cadbury chocolate in them, and were massively popular as presents at Christmas.

In the clip, a woman was shown popping a coin in, before taking out one of the bars and holding it up delightedly.

“Childhood memory unlocked,” they wrote in the caption.

“Hands up who had one of these!”

The comments section was immediately filled with people weighing in, with one writing: “MAKE THEM AGAIN PLEASE!

“I loved mine in the 90s!”

“BRING IT BACK PLEASE,” another added.

“Best toy. These need bringing back,” a third commented.

“OMG please tell me you are gonna bring these back this was my favourite,” someone else wrote.

“BRING. THEM. BACK.,” another pleaded.

“Bloody hell yes,” someone else wrote.

“I loved mine omg this as thrown me back.

“I felt great putting 2p into get my chocolate been as I put it there in the first place.”

“Why did you stop making them?” another added.

“Best chocolate ever. My nan bought me a pack every Christmas.

How to save money on Christmas shopping

Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save money on your Christmas shopping.

Limit the amount of presents – buying presents for all your family and friends can cost a bomb.

Instead, why not organise a Secret Santa between your inner circles so you’re not having to buy multiple presents.

Plan ahead – if you’ve got the stamina and budget, it’s worth buying your Christmas presents for the following year in the January sales.

Make sure you shop around for the best deals by using price comparison sites so you’re not forking out more than you should though.

Buy in Boxing Day sales – some retailers start their main Christmas sales early so you can actually snap up a bargain before December 25.

Delivery may cost you a bit more, but it can be worth it if the savings are decent.

Shop via outlet stores – you can save loads of money shopping via outlet stores like Amazon Warehouse or Office Offcuts.

They work by selling returned or slightly damaged products at a discounted rate, but usually any wear and tear is minor.

“Would love if you brought them back”.

While others admitted they were always desperate to get their hands on one of the machines for Christmas.

“I asked for one of these nearly every year and I never got one,” one sighed.

“And now as an adult I can’t get one, what’s that all about?”

“I begged, i got 1, my mum ate all the choc from it before xmas so it was useless,” another added.

“I so wanted one of those. I know they’re gimmicky but….” someone else laughed.

And to try and get your hands on one of the machines now is a costly business.

As they’re being sold for upwards of £27 on auction sites such as eBay.

Some of them are even reaching that price with bits missing, showing just how much people want them.

In addition, while you can buy the chocolates that go inside on other websites, they aren’t from Cadbury, as they no longer making them.

Netflix AXE series one year after debut despite all-star cast as creator says it was ‘impossible’ for more episodes

NETFLIX have axed an adventure series after just one series despite its all-star cast.

Bosses at the streaming giant have brought the TV axe down on a number of hit shows recently, such as Kaos.

Fans of the hit animated series had been hoping for a second series[/caption]

And now they’ve struck again as Scott Pilgrim Takes Off has been cancelled after one series.

The animated show was based off of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s novels and the author also served as the co-developer and executive producer.

Confirming the series wouldn’t return, Bryan told fans: “We were recently informed that the show will NOT return.”

He continued: “As you know, we only intended one season, and called in a lot of favours to make it happen, so making more would have been nearly impossible.

“Still, I know some of you have been holding out hope.”

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off debuted in November 2023 with eight episodes, which are still available to stream on Netflix.

Some of the actors who reprised their roles for the series included Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Kieran Culkin and Chris Evans.

Taking to social media, one fan said: “A shame this isn’t getting more. I liked that we got a sort of Scott Pilgrim multi-verse this way but unfortunately the bad rep that it gained from people overreacting too quickly hurt it.”

A second wrote: “It became an immediate comfort show for me, thank you so much for such a funny, heartwarming and inspired series.”

“Ah, it was such a great show and the fact you pretty much got the entire cast back to voice their characters was a remarkable feat,” said a third.

While a fourth commented: “Thanks for making the show the way you did, woulda been way easier to just make a straight up adaption but what ya’ll did really helped create something special.”

Pro tree decorator shares the exact order you should be decorating your Christmas tree &  it speeds up the process too

A CHRISTMAS tree decor expert shared the exact order you should be hanging your ornaments.

According to the pro, her hacks will elevate your decor and help to speed up the process.

Tiktok/@michelledulevich

In her viral video, TikTok user Michelle Dulevich (@michelledulevich) talked her followers through each step of her formula.

She explained that she is constantly asked for the exact process she uses when transforming Christmas trees.

For her first step, Michelle revealed that she always goes in first with rotators “because they have a certain place.”

These are the attachments that you hang on your tree to spin your ornaments.

Next, she added the topper to the tree before “going in’ with the bows and ribbons.

Once she has filled out most of the branches, Michelle focuses on larger statement pieces, such as crystal ornaments.

She explained that this is the time to focus on ornaments you “want to be shown.”

After this step, she adds even more volume to the tree with some picks.

Next she addes any baubles she has to the tree because “they are just fillers.”

“I’ll do the colour coordinating baubles, put those in the tree, and then I go in with picks again,” she explained.

Michelle explained the additional steps she takes after decorating a tree.

She vacuumed up any fallen bristles and applied a skirt to the base of the tree.

Michelle added that she always opts for pre-lit Christmas trees to avoid the hassle of hanging lights.

The decorating pro regularly shares the trees she has worked on through her social media.

Her followers shared their thoughts on the handywork in the comments section.

How to look after your real Christmas tree

HERE'S what you need to know if you're buying a real Christmas tree:

First thing’s first: buy a pot (if it doesn’t come in one already).

You’ll need to treat your tree just like a houseplant and give it water and attention.

Make sure the container has good drainage – and it’s a good idea to put something underneath to catch the excess water.

Check the soil everyday to make sure it’s not drying out.

If it feels dry, give it some water. If it still feels moist, leave it alone as too much water can also kill a tree.

Also check the LED bulbs on your tree lights aren’t too hot as they could burn it, and keep your tree away from radiators.

When Christmas is over, try planting it in the garden so you can dig it up and use it again next year.

It’s a good idea to take it out of its pot when you do re-plant it though, as large trees don’t survive well in pots as their roots need space to grow.

“You are so amazing! Thank you so much for showing us your videos, and how you make these trees look fabulous,” wrote one viewer.

“I appreciate this so much! I feel like watching your videos is like prepping for a big game and watching B-roll. Working on my big tree today and thinking of you!” said another TikTok user.

“Thank you! I always wanted to know,” commented a third impressed person.

“I’ve stepped up my Christmas tree game so much from watching your videos!” wrote another follower.

“You have so elevated my tree game! I get compliments all the time and I owe that to your expertise mixed with my style,” said one viewer.
