Celebrity relationships and break ups

CHANTELLE Houghton has revealed she’s got a new boyfriend after being celibate for over two years.

The 42-year-old has seen a number of relationships play out in public after rising to fame on Celebrity Big Brother in 2006.

Chantelle had entered the Big Brother house as a non-celebrity but had to pretend she was in a girl band.

She won the hearts of viewers and it lead to her winning the series, and becoming a fixture on TV and in the press.

But being in the spotlight made it hard for her relationships, with her whirlwind marriage to CBB co-star Preston falling apart after just 10 months.

Over the years she has also dated TV presenter Rav Wilding and has a daughter with Katie Price‘s ex-husband, Alex Reid.

In 2021, Chantelle split from her fiance Michael Strut, after things fizzled out when they moved in together during Covid lockdown.

So for the last few years, Chantelle has focused on being a mum, and admitted in past interviews she was celibate.

But in an exclusive chat with The Sun Online, Chantelle has now revealed she’s in a new relationship with a mystery man.

She said: “I think my smile says it all. I have met someone. He’s not in the public eye, but that’s all I’ll say.”

Explaining her reasons for keeping her new romance under wraps, Chantelle said: “I feel like all of my relationships have been public.

“The two relationships I had before Big Brother were the only ones that were private, but they weren’t really proper relationships because I was so young.

“Every relationship I’ve had since has been in the public eye, and hasn’t been mine, almost. Especially with Preston.

“Preston and I were everybody’s, and I get it. I understand why people were invested, and I totally found that flattering, but it was hard.

“It definitely put a strain on the relationship, and that was one of the biggest challenges we faced.”

As well as being happy with her new man, Chantelle is also content with her body after years of diets.

Chantelle, who is working with Betway, explained: “I’m really happy with myself, and I feel great.

“When I was younger, I did the Special K diet, I did the cabbage soup diet, and I even did the ‘not-eating’ diet.

“I actually saw something the other day on TikTok that said, ‘Here’s to all the Special K breakfast diet survivors.’ I was one of them!

“I think back then, you really believed you could only get slimmer by going to extremes.

HEALTHY DIET

“We just didn’t have the knowledge we have now about diet and exercise.”

Last year, Chantelle revealed she had lost five stone through diet and exercise and she said: “These days, I’m so much healthier.

“I enjoy the food I eat, and I’m slim, whereas back then it felt like you had to starve yourself to get thin.

“Looking back, it’s actually very simple. Eat healthily, move more, and you’ll lose weight. But we didn’t see it that way at the time.”

KANYE West accused Kim Kardashian of ‘flirting’ with Lewis Hamilton years before she entered into a relationship with the F1 driver, The Sun can reveal.

We revealed over the weekend that Lewis, 41, and Kim, 45, are in a new relationship, with the pair enjoying a string of international dates over recent weeks.

The reality star and entrepreneur has known Ferrari driver Lewis for over a decade, but things only recently turned romantic.

However, her ex-husband Kanye, 48, had previously accused her of flirting with Lewis when they were together.

Kim and Kanye were married from 2014 until 2021, and a source tells us that the Yeezy owner’s jealous streak especially came out around Lewis.

“It was so awkward as when they were together, Kanye would always fly into jealous rages and accuse Kim of flirting with Lewis,” revealed the source.

They continued: “She wasn’t – of course – but Kanye was always so erratic that if Kim was even friendly with someone he’d accuse her of something.”

Kim and Kanye share children; and cited “irreconcilable differences” as a reason for their divorce five years ago.

Lewis was a friend of both Kim and Kanye, with them bonding over a shared love for fashion. The sportsman even spent Easter at the house they shared as a married couple back in 2016.

The Sun understands Kim and Lewis have been growing close for a number of months, with the pair attending actress Kate Hudson’s New Year’s Eve party together.

The new couple have enjoyed several dates in different cities over recent weeks, including London and Paris, to fit around Kim’s work commitments.

Earlier this week, a source told The Sun: “Kim and Lewis have such intense working schedules so they’re keen to spend as much time together as possible.

“Right now, they’re inseparable and are fitting their dates around Kim’s work commitments.”

Kim had to be in Paris to attend a NikeSkims event – her brand’s collaboration with Nike.

Taking Lewis along with her, the pair stayed at luxurious hotel Le Bristol, and ate in private during their stay.

A source revealed: “Kim absolutely loves spending time in Paris and wanted Lewis to go with her. Her work is so important to her but it’s all things she can slot around spending time with Lewis.

“They’re both used to travelling all over the world while working so doing it together means they can spend proper time with each other.”

KATE Ferdinand has emotionally revealed that she is “struggling” with the overhaul of moving her life to Dubai.

The TV star, 34, and her husband Rio uprooted their London life for Dubai in a switch-up last summer.

And while former footballer Rio “loves” their new life, Kate got teary during a new episode of her podcast Blended as she admitted it’s tough for her.

Beginning positive, she said: “I think it’s an amazing place to live, I think it’s amazing for the children. The children are thriving and happy and living a life of just outside freedom.

“Rio loves it so much. I am enjoying it, but I miss home quite a lot. I can’t talk about it because I get upset,” said Kate as she grappled with tears.

Kate and Rio have a blended family of five children, which consists of their two kids Cree and Shae, and Rio’s children Lorenz, 19, Tate, 17, and Tia, who he welcomed with his late wife Rebecca.

The family of seven have a very close-knit bond, but eldest sons Lorenz and Tate have remained in the UK amid the UAE move to focus on their budding football careers.

Admitting being apart from her stepsons is making things harder, Kate continued: “I miss the big boys a lot and I’m just struggling with that. 

“I know this decision is right for my younger children and as a family we are settled there, but the boys are following their football careers.

“So they’re doing what they want to do otherwise they’d be with us.

“But it’s very hard because we’ve been through so much as a family and we’ve always been together and that’s a huge adjustment.”

Kate also said that while she feels happy in their new home, a part of her is “missing”.

She and Rio met in Dubai back in 2016 while visiting on respective holidays, and later got engaged in the UAE.

Last summer, Kate revealed they were making the move as she said: “

A new chapter, a fresh start — because if we don’t try, we’ll never know.

“Ahhh! We’ve talked about this for so long, and now it’s finally real… we’re here, we are making a new home in the place we met!”

They have since shared a myriad of snaps from their stunning mansion over there.

MEL B has put on a sizzling display as she soaked up the sun in a thong bikini as her husband helped her apply sun cream.

The former Spice Girl, 50, and her husband Rory, 37, are enjoying their honeymoon at the luxury five-star Shangri-La Le Touessrok resort in Mauritius.

Mel B took to Instagram with a series of hot snaps from her honeymoon and captioned them: “FINALLY!!!! We Disappeared for January and got lost In each other at a Mauritian magical heaven for our long LONG awaited honeymoon.”

In a cheeky video clip, Rory was seen smiling to the cameras as he rubbed his wife’s bottom with sun cream.

She also shared a cute selfie with her husband as they went out for dinner and dancing.

Another saw the loved up pair share a romantic kiss over dinner as they shared bubbly together.

Mel also looked stunning as she flaunted her toned figure in blue thong bikini bottoms while sunbathing on the beach. 

The couple also shared snaps of them taking part in paddleboarding and diving into the sea.

In another sizzling snap, the singer showed off her incredible figure when in a tiny leopard-print bikini as she posed on a boat. 

Mel also looked beautiful last summer as she kissed her new husband Rory at St Paul’s Cathedral after their wedding ceremony.

Meanwhile Rory looked dapper in a tradition Scottish kilt as he kissed his new wife on the steps of the Cathedral.

The newlyweds then beamed as they headed down the steps and off to their reception in a horse-drawn white carriage, while their guests were transported in tradition red Route master double decker buses.

The couple shared a sweet kiss in the back of the carriage as they enjoyed their first moments as man and wife.

Ahead of the ceremony, fellow Spice Girl Emma Bunton led the star-studded arrivals, and was the only Spice Girl spotted in attendance, bar the bride herself.

Meanwhile, Mel has dropped a huge hint that the famed noughties girl group could reunite.

Mel B was spotted liking a clip about the Spice Girls getting back together after they officially split in 2001.

Speaking on the Shouldn’t Laugh But… podcast Laura Smyth suggested the only way Victoria Beckham, 51, could escape the PR “disaster” which ensued after her son Brooklyn’s explosive statement, is to get the group back together.

The Beckham’s estranged son accused his mum and dad of 12 blistering allegations on Monday – which seems to have put an end to any rumours of reconciliation.

But now Pop singer Mel B seems to agree with the podcast hosts as she dropped a cheeky like on the post.

Fans couldn’t help but see it as a sign – they went wild begging for a new album and a tour.

PATSY KENSIT has told how she had an affair at 23 with Sixties acting icon Terence Stamp – 30 years her senior.

The unlikely relationship was sparked while they were filming 1991 crime thriller Prince Of Shadows in Madrid.

Actress and former rock chick Patsy, 57, who has more recently appeared in EastEnders and Death In Paradise, recalled: “I had a lost few months with Terence when I was very young, but it was all a dream and he was the perfect gentleman.”

Oscar-nominated Terence, star of the original Superman movies and an accomplished author, died in LA last year aged 87.

Patsy said in an exclusive interview with The Sun on Sunday: “I first met him at a dinner party in Chelsea through a girlfriend. I was sitting next to him on the table plan and had read all of his books, The Stamp Collection Cookbook.  He was such a great writer, so I was a bit of a superfan.”

She added: “He was probably the most beautiful man I’d ever seen.”

Weeks later, Patsy signed up to play beautiful prostitute Rebeca in the Spanish movie and she suggested Terence to appear opposite her as hero Darman.

He had been making his first attempt at directing a film, but after three weeks it was abandoned with a loss of $5million, so the Spanish project marked his return to acting.

Patsy recalled: “I was offered this film in Spain and the director had wanted Anthony Hopkins to play opposite me, but he was busy, so I mentioned Terence and they jumped at the chance.

‘Little monkey’

“So as soon as we knew we were going to do the movie together, he took me to a fish restaurant called Greens and he had the most beautiful eyes, stunning blue.

“On location, our friendship grew stronger and more intense.

“We had several love scenes in the film — shooting them is never sexy, but having said that, it can feel intimate.

“The food was fantastic in Madrid and, after filming, he’d take me to little restaurants he found. We had a very strong connection immediately, and spent a lot of time together.

“He told stories about Julie Christie [his co-star in 1967’s Far From The Madding Crowd] and was nominated for an Oscar for his role in Billy Budd, which was his breakthrough.

“He knew Michael Caine. I was born the year of the monkey and he always used to say to me, ‘You’re such a little monkey, Patsy’. He was so old-school and a forgotten era.

“We were star-crossed lovers and he was a total gentleman. Even though there was an age gap, we had a strong bond. He was an amazing and generous lover.”

Terence loved to write, and sent Patsy dozens of love notes, as well as regularly writing to her mum Margaret, who joined her on set during filming.

Patsy said: “He used to write me these wonderful love letters about lucid dreams he had.

We were star-crossed lovers and he was a total gentleman. Even though there was an age gap, we had a strong bond. He was an amazing and generous lover

Patsy Kensit

“His handwriting was like art. I’ve still got them in storage, I couldn’t bear to part with them.

“He was really ahead of the game with modern medicine and homeopathy and my mum was dying of cancer at the time. When she died, I discovered all these letters he had been writing to her. They were in regular correspondence and he was encouraging her to take all these supplements and eat certain foods.”

Back in London, Patsy and Terence carried on dating. She said: “He was living in Piccadilly, in an incredible apartment with a roaring fireplace and a big, beautiful kitchen.

“The doorman would let me in — he had a twinkle in his eye and would say, ‘Are you here to see Mr Stamp?’. I imagine he had many visitors. Terence took me to restaurants and museums.

“It was a lost few months in my life and a beautiful time.”

Then Patsy had to leave London for Los Angeles to film 1991 sci-fi film Timebomb, and she ended their brief fling.

She said: “And suddenly, it was over. I was young and stupid.”

Ironically, Patsy — who has been married four times — first met her second husband, Simple Minds singer Jim Kerr, in Madrid while she was filming with Terence. They married in 1992 and had a son, James.

She recalled: “We were filming at the Palace Hotel and we were shooting in a corridor.

“We heard this strong Scottish accent saying, ‘I need to get out of my room, I can’t wait’, and it was Jim Kerr.

“And he looked at me and went, ‘Oh hello’, at which point Terence walked back into the bedroom.

“At the end of the day, an assistant appeared with a note from Jim saying, ‘If you’re ever in Scotland, I’ll happily show you the mountains’. Eventually I did, and it led to a marriage and a baby.”

Patsy Kensit

Patsy, who also has son Lennon with ex-husband Liam Gallagher, is writing an autobiography — and has plenty of material.

Her dad Jimmy, a sharp dresser who drove an Aston Martin, was an associate of the Kray brothers, and her glamorous mum Margaret acted as a chaperone to Patsy, who began her career as a child actress.

She appeared with Robert Redford and Mia Farrow in The Great Gatsby in 1974, and she and her mum often hung out with Elizabeth Taylor when Patsy played her daughter in 1976’s The Blue Bird.

Elizabeth would cook spaghetti for Patsy and her mum, and let the six-year-old play catch with her Krupp diamond, given to her by husband Richard Burton.

Recalling working with Robert Redford, who died last year, Patsy said: “I was only four and a half, but I remember it all so clearly.

“He was a handsome, tall, blond man and whenever he walked on to the set, all the women would get giggly, including my mum.

“I remember being driven to Pinewood in a Rolls-Royce to get fitted in Ralph Lauren costumes for the movie. It was another world.”

I’M A Celeb AITCH had a secret snog with a stunning blonde podcast queen -15 years his senior – weeks before jetting Down Under.

The Brit-Award winning rapper locked lips with manifestation guru Francesca Amber at showbiz bash the Pride of Britain Awards, London in October, just a fortnight before he flew to Australia to take part in the ITV reality show. 

Cheeky Aitch, who was 25 at the time, hit it off at the free bar with author Francesca, 40, and was seen cracking jokes with the manifestation guru in the corner.

An onlooker revealed: “Aitch is a bit younger than Francesca but didn’t lack any confidence, he has bags of character and he was showing off and making her laugh, they were having a right giggle. 

“By the end of the evening they were kissing in front of everyone, it was quite romantic. Aitch has got loads of charisma and can hold his own, he’s no boy when it comes to flirting, so you can see how he won her over. They exchanged numbers before heading off into the night.”

Mum-of-three Francesca is still single, and Aitch’s spokesman declined to comment.

Aitch admits he broke ITV bosses’ strict rule before I’m A Celeb jungle

Following his I’m A Celeb stint, fans were convinced Aitch was falling in love with co-star former EastEnders actress Shona McGarty, 34, after they were seen having heart-to-hearts on camera and play fighting. 

The pair had raised hopes of a jungle love story earlier in the series after rapper Aitch said he had a “soft spot” for the former EastEnders actress. 

But upon exiting camp Mancunian Aitch shut down rumours of a romance. He said: “No, Shona’s just a cool person. I feel like me and Shona are just cut from the same cloth in a way. We just have the same sense of humour.

Asked if there is any chance of a romance, Aitch responded: “No, not at all. That’s just a good friend of mine.”

He has previously linked to Chicken Shop Date online host Amelia Dimoldenberg, 32, and model Rose Lola Thompson. 

Previously he has said: “I love dating a girl who is understanding and who can have a laugh with. I like it when I feel like my girlfriend is my best mate and understands me.”

Just before the rapper flew into the jungle it was revealed that he had parted ways with psychology student Lois Cottam.

A source at the time said: “Aitch and Lois still have a lot of love for each other but they decided they are better off as friends.

“They enjoyed the time they spent together. Things ended amicably between them.”

Aitch and Lois, are understood to have dated for at least a year.

We revealed that the pair were dating in May 2025, reporting that he had whisked her off for a trip to New York.

They also holidayed on the Greek island of Santorini in the summer but kept their relationship under wraps, with Aitch, real name Harrison Armstrong, not sharing pictures of them together on social media.

OLIVIA Attwood has broken her silence on her split from husband Bradley Dack.

Last weekend, The Sun exclusively revealed how Olivia, 34, had split from her footballer spouse after a ‘breach of trust’ on his part.

The TV star took to Instagram on Saturday to share her first post about her marriage breakdown.

Alongside a picture of boxes in her new apartment, she wrote: “I keep opening Instagram to post but I don’t know what to say or do? lol.

“Vulnerability is not my bag!!!! Especially on social media, it feels very much like bleeding in shark infested waters.

“I cry myself to sleep then business as normal when the alarm goes off at 5am and it has been like that for a long time.

“But also so much change in such a short amount of time (you know I hate that) (Taurus).

“I never expected to be moving into this apartment alone. And I’m in over my depth for sure.”

But despite her pain, Olivia showed she still had a lot of love for Bradley, 32.

She continued: “I want to be happy. I want Brad to be happy. Just one day at a time. For both of us & anyone else who needs to read this.”

Olivia then concluded: “Normal programming and chatting will resume asap. PS. Thank you, I feel your love immensely.”

Earlier this week, The Sun revealed how Olivia had left the marital home she shared with Bradley to move into her new apartment.

The star the showed fans around the huge space on her social media accounts but failed to mention the split at the time.

Olivia and Bradley first dated before her stint on Love Island in 2017, which she has confessed she joined as revenge for his cheating on her.

But they reunited and filmed a reality series for ITV2, Olivia Meets Her Match. 

Their lavish wedding in 2023 is said to have cost £200,000 — with £30,000 on her dress.

Their split comes just months after the couple weathered a “really bad summer”.

WHEN Katie Price got married to Lee Andrews at breakneck speed, just days after they began dating, her loyal fans were left bewildered. 

For her family, the reaction has been even more stark. Here, insiders tell us how Pricey’s son Junior responded to the Dubai nuptials – and why her closest ally, sister Sophie, has been left reeling as concern for the mother- of-five reaches an all-time high. 

Hours after revealing her extravagant engagement, The Sun told how Katie and Lee had in fact got hitched with none of her family there. Her fourth marriage took place less than a week after she had met Lee. 

It was an unusually quiet ceremony for the former glamour model . An officiator was seen in front of the pair reading from a script as Katie, who wore a £12 dress from Shein, said her vows.

She gushed about how happy she was, telling fans: “All I can say is ‘fatale’, and this was a wedding at First Sight.”

Yet celebratory messages from her nearest and dearest have not been forthcoming, despite Price, 47, returning to the UK earlier this week without Lee, 43, who has since been accused of being a ‘swindler’.

There’s only so much Katie’s kids can take. It is really not fair.

Insider

One source said: “It’s just another day on Planet Katie, and everyone has to deal with the consequences.

“She will always have a close bond with her children, but there’s only so much they can take. It is really not fair.” 

Her son Junior, 20, has refrained from posting to his half a million Instagram followers in the days following the whirlwind wedding – which is not legally binding. 

And it is not only Junior’s fans who have got the silent treatment from the singer.

Rather tellingly, we have been told that the rapper, who is “very close” to dad Peter and stepmum Dr Emily, has not contacted his mother to offer his congratulations on her marriage to Andrews. 

A source said: “Junior is used to Katie’s increasingly erratic behaviour, but even this took him by surprise.

“He is so fed up with his mum’s constant dramas. He wants no part in it. He’s hardly going to send a congratulations message about a bloke he hasn’t even met.”

But while Junior is more resilient, sister Princess, 18, has given clues to her hurt feelings, taking to TikTok in the days following her mum’s wedding ceremony to post two emotional videos on the social media platform, including one featuring a tearful girl.

Sophie is understandably horrified by it all. It’s been incredibly draining for her. The sisters are incredibly close so it was very hard for Sophie not to know what was going on. 

Insider

The writing on top of the clip reads: “I feel everything very deeply” with an accompanying voiceover on top of the clip that says: “I’m such an incredibly, stupidly, sensitive person that everything that happens to me I feel everything really intensely.”

Another featured a teen girl getting into bed and wiping tears from her eyes as she lets out a sigh.

The writing on top reads: “When the smallest thing upsets me, and now I have to be non-verbal and easily irritated for hours until I can let it go”.

Insiders say that despite the cryptic posts it is unlikely that Princess, who remains close to her mother, will publicly condemn her. But a pal of the star confided: “It is so selfish to create all this drama just before Princess is about to launch series two of The Princess Diaries. This should be her turn in the spotlight. Not her mums.”

In recent years as Katie’s fame has dwindled, she has become increasingly reliant on her younger half-sister Sophie, 36, who has devoted a large part of her life to looking after her.

Despite managing the wayward reality star, organising much of her chaotic life, and co-hosting a podcast together, Sophie was not invited to Katie’s wedding.

An insider said: “Sophie is understandably horrified by it all. It’s been incredibly draining for her. The sisters are incredibly close so it was very hard for Sophie not to know what was going on. 

“They were due to record a podcast like normal this week, but at the last minute, they decided not to go ahead.

Their mum is utterly beside herself with worry.

“Sophie felt the need to say sorry to her fans, while Katie kept silent. It is quite typical of their relationship that Sophie is the one picking up the slack, and she’s honestly struggling with it at the moment. It has caused tension between the siblings, with Sophie just desperate for Katie to be ok. 

“Their mum is utterly beside herself with worry – they have all been through so much with Katie, but thought the worst was over in recent years.

“They don’t believe Lee is the man he said he was and are just waiting for Katie to click. It was a huge relief when he did a U-turn on coming to the UK. Sophie was not ready to meet him and deal with all that.”

Sophie made her feelings very clear on the situation today as she shared a picture of the countryside and wrote: “This and never stepping foot in Dubai.”

Last night, Sophie took to social media to explain what was happening to the podcast.

Looking exhausted, she said: “Hi guys, how are you all? I know you’ve all been chomping at the bit to find out what has been going on. All our DMs have been going off,” she began in her video address.

“Let’s just say, it’s been one hell of a week. We have done over a 100 episodes of the podcast, which sounds absolutely nuts when it’s just me and Kate doing our b*s chat.

“We will be back next week as normal, and we will be able to update you guys on what’s been going on. It will be business as usual.”

Such was the emotion on display that one commentator posted: “’You are a good sister. Hope you’re ok, Sophie, you look like you’re holding back tears”

Sophie has always been outspoken about Katie’s relationships, while trying to be as supportive as possible.

Just a couple of weeks ago, she expressed her horror when Katie announced she was looking for a Richard Gere type.

She retorted: “Absolutely not, you need a break, you need time to yourself’.”

Katie completely ignored her, and when she announced her engagement, she gushed about finding her ‘real life Richard Gere’. The film is, of course, about a wealthy gentleman who sweeps a prostitute off her feet. 

The sisters –  who have an 11-year age gap- have talked in the past about being “like chalk and cheese”.

Sophie was just six years old when her big sister found fame, meaning that she doesn’t remember a time when Katie wasn’t in the spotlight.

However, Katie’s fame made her a target at school – and she was bullied by cruel classmates.

She recalled: “It was just girls saying nasty things, when you’re a teenager… You know what girls can be like.”

Yet a beautiful relationship blossomed, with the sisters becoming firm friends and podcast favourites.

But after the latest cruel snub, it might be a while before fans get a new episode of the podcast.

FORMER glamour model Katie Price’s new husband has challenged her cage fighter ex to a mixed martial arts match for criticising her whirlwind wedding. 

Lee Andrews, 41, wants to take on Alex Reid, 50, in a one-on-one because he called her latest marriage irresponsible. 

The businessman goaded Reid as he told The Sun he wanted to fight him “anytime, anywhere” in Britain, Dubai or Abu Dhabi. 

He also said he had spoken with Katie about the challenge only briefly, but insisted: “We do support each other.” 

Lee — dubbed a “Walter Mitty” over his long list of outlandish or untrue claims including that he is Director of Philanthropy at The Prince’s Trust — confidently claimed he had his own experience in sparring, partial boxing and “elite fitness”. 

He said he wanted it to be on an Ultimate Fighting Championship five-round match setting and said proceeds would go towards supporting mum-of-five Katie and charity.

It comes after Reid, who was Katie’s second husband, made his feelings plain over her fourth wedding.

He said: “It’s irresponsible on your family and the children to marry someone you don’t know.” Reid added: “I genuinely wish the man good luck marrying her. 

“I hope the marriage lasts longer than the court-ordered debts that she still owes me and to many others, demonstrating accountability and responsibility. 

“It’s not really her strong point. Maybe, he could be the best thing in the world to happen to her. 

“He could help her pay her debts and be accountable with money.”  

Former cross-dresser Reid, who divorced Katie in 2012 after a two-year marriage, was a professional in mixed martial arts from 2000. 

Lee and Katie, 47, got married in Dubai at the weekend in a whirlwind wedding just days after meeting each other. 

STRANGER Things fans have been left shocked as they realise that show star Charlie Heaton has an 11-year-old son.

The actor, who turns 32 next month, portrays Jonathan Byers in the popular Netflix series – which recently came to a hotly-anticipated end.

And this week, Charlie has made a rare admission about his son, leading fans to only know find out he is a dad.

Charlie welcomed little one Archie in 2014, when he was just 20 years old.

He shares the youngster with ex-girlfriend Akiko Matsuura, who at the time was 32 – meaning the pair have a 12 year age gap.

In a new interview, Charlie said that Archie is finally reaching an age where he is getting into his dad’s show Stranger Things.

“He has just started getting into it,” the actor told US outlet PEOPLE.

He continued: “He got to come to set last year and that was really cool.”

Charlie’s rare insight into family life has left fans online more shocked that he has a son.

Talking on a Reddit thread, one fan said: “SON??!!!????!! TWEEN!!?!!??????!!!??”

Another wrote: “I’m 33, about the same age the mother of his child was when she was with him and had their baby. I can’t even fathom being with an 18/19 year old like he was at the time”.

“The fact that he has an eleven year-old; I am speechless. I am without speech,” said a third.

While another fan wrote: “What in the actual f***?? I can’t with the ages of Charlie, his kid, and the mother”.

Charlie was in a relationship with Akiko when they were bandmates in rock group Comanechi.

The duo met when Charlie was a teenager and are thought to have split shortly after Archie’s birth, but it’s not known exactly how long the relationship lasted.

Charlie is now in a relationship with his Stranger Things co-star Natalia Dyer.

The duo fell in love on the show’s set and confirmed their romance back in 2017.

KATIE Price has cancelled her podcast after her shock wedding to Lee Andrews and being told to ‘run a mile’ from her ‘swindler’ new husband by his ex. 

New episodes of The Katie Price Show podcast – which the 47-year-old hosts with younger sister Sophie, 36 – drop every Thursday. 

But Katie’s sister Sophie took to social media to announce that an episode would not be dropping today.

“Hi guys, how are you all? I know you’ve all been chomping at the bit to find out what has been going on. All our DMs have been going off,” she began in her video address.

“Let’s just say, it’s been one hell of a week. We have done over a 100 episodes of the podcast which sounds absolutely nuts when it’s just me and Kate doing our b*s chat.

“We will back next week as normal and we will be able you guys on what’s been going on. It will be business as usual,” she signed off.

Katie ‘love-bomber’ Lee is a terrifying type of man – my ex scarred me for life

No doubt fans will be disappointed at not getting an update on married life from Katie, after she tied the knot with Lee, 41, in Dubai last weekend – allegedly just days after meeting. 

Shortly after the wedding The Sun exposed him as a fantasist who lied about his career and faked celebrity links with AI-generated photos.

We also told this week how Lee had proposed to fitness enthusiast Alana Percival four months ago — in exactly the same way.

And now Alana has urged Katie to proceed with caution.

She took to social media to post photos of her on a beach holiday.

But her caption came with a serious message, which read: “Catching flights not fiancés – lucky escape.

“Somebody with your ex right now thinking they found The One,” while tagging Katie in the post.

Alana added: “More to come today’s news is just a warm up.”

She then followed up with an Instagram post as she slammed her ex for his behaviour during their brief relationship.

She claimed: “This man had me shrinking myself, making me not want to speak up.

“Telling me not to speak to my friends about how he acted because they all told me to leave him.

“He even ruined some of my friendships, pulled me away from people I love by protecting him.”

She continued: “Made unlimited promises making me look as bad as him because I was on his side.

“Finally I get to speak freely and tell you all.

“I hope Katie listens, I wish I had listened to all the others that warned me.”

She added: “Please ladies if you experience anything like this run a mile and more. Keep running.”

HELEN Flanagan has revealed she thought she was being drugged and feared her kids would be taken away from her following her split from ex-fiance Scott Sinclair.

The former Coronation Street actress opened up on the breakdown she experienced after parting ways with the footballer in 2022 after 13 years together.

She told The Mirror: “It was the worst time that I’ve ever struggled with my mental health.”

Helen, who is on medication for obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), believes she experienced an adverse reaction to her prescription drugs which fuelled the feelings.

“He really wasn’t playing fair,” she said of Scott’s behaviour at the time.

“So I had quite a lot of financial stuff going on as well and the stress of solicitors. I was also totally heartbroken after David Haye.

“It just all became too much and I began to experience psychosis,” she said of the post-break-up breakdown.

“I thought I was being watched, filmed, hunted, possibly even drugged, I was seeing things that weren’t there.

“It was really frightening – I thought my kids were going to be taken away, the nursery got involved,” she added.

“I do think the medication was really bad for me, but I became quite addicted to it.”

Helen shares three kids with Scott – Matilda, ten, Delilah, seven, and Charlie, four.

The Celebs Go Dating star credited her parents and therapists as helping her to get through the dark time.

Her relationship with ex Scott continues to remain strained, with Helen recently taking several public swipes at the father of her children.

Just last week, The Sun reported how Helen was being forced out of her £1million family home by her ex.

A friend of Helen’s said: “Scott pays for the house and all the bills and he’s decided a six-bedroom place is way too big for Helen on her own with the kids.

“But Helen doesn’t want to move and is digging her heels in. She loves the place, the kids are settled at the local school and her mum and dad live around the corner.

In wake of the news, the lingerie model branded Scott “a d***head” in a new interview with the Daily Mail, confessing that the two have a “very bad relationship”.

“We only communicate through my father now. There is so much worse I could say,” she told the publication.

Over Christmas, Helen was also left furious after she spotted photos of Scott at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

She publicly hit out on her Instagram Stories: “You really are a piece of s***. How dare you not turn up to Charlie’s nativity.”

At the time, the former soap star was playing the Wicked Queen in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at Liverpool‘s M&S Bank Arena.

Helen admitted she now takes jobs she usually wouldn’t do to pay the bills and that she feels “mum guilt” at leaving her kids to work.

“So, I can’t forgive Scott for stealing a lot of my time with my children. I resent him for that.”

Helen is expected to dish more on her break-up with Scott in her new book Head And Heart: Break-ups, Breakdowns and Being Rosie, which is released tomorrow.

KATIE Price’s new mother-in-law has taken a cryptic swipe at the newlyweds with a social media post.

Former glamour model Katie and businessman Lee Andrews tied the knot in Dubai just days after meeting for the first time.

Lee’s mum Trisha recently broke her silence on the shock wedding, claiming she knew the pair were going to get hitched.

At the time, she told The Mirror that if Katie and Lee are happy then she is too.

But despite putting on a brave face, it now seems Trisha has doubts about the marriage.

The clairvoyant wasn’t present at the wedding and, today, posted a quote to her Facebook page that said: “Do not get upset with people or situations; both are powerless without your reaction.”

Trisha previously said to The Mirror: “There’s a lot of lies going around about Lee and that’s made me really upset. He’s not been married twice. I just want to defend my son, but I can’t say much more until I know everything.

“He did tell me that the wedding was happening. He spoke to me and if he is happy, I am happy – he’s my son, and that’s all that matters.”

Speaking about Katie, Trisha added: “Of course, I know who Katie is.

“I’ve always been very neutral about her. Everyone deserves a chance, you should never judge anyone in life.”

Last week the reality TV star sent fans wild as she dropped a series of engagement snaps.

In one photo, the podcast host was seen standing beside rose petals that were arranged to read “will you marry me” before she showcased her huge “25 carat” diamond ring.

Model Katie has since arrived back in the UK as two of Lee’s former lovers have hit out and warned that she should “run for the hills.”

Lee, who has also been caught faking his Instagram posts using AI, has revealed he is inbound for Britain as he wraps up “business” in the Middle East.

Meanwhile, Katie’s family are said to have been blindsided and are planning an intervention.

KATIE Price’s surprise Dubai wedding to new husband Lee Andrews has been confirmed as non-legally binding.

The former glamour model shocked fans – and family alike – when she said ‘I do’ to the businessman over the weekend after a whirlwind romance.

The nuptials – which took place at the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai – were officiated by part-time DJ and celebrant Darryl Rees, who has since broken his silence on his involvement that day.

“What I do is a symbolic wedding,” he told the Daily Mail. “I’m like the showman, and then they get married in the courts with all the paperwork.”

Darryl, who has been operating as a celebrant in Dubai for over five years explained that couples who opt for these style of nuptials have to then have the legalities carried out in a Dubai court or UK registry office either pre or post-ceremony.

Darryl added that the newlyweds “mentioned that they were going to get the wedding legalised the day after on the Monday.”

It’s currently not known if Katie and Lee have filed to make their marriage official in a court of law.

“From my point of view, they seemed like a lovely couple,” he said of his experience of their wedding.

“They appeared very much smitten by each other. When I was speaking to Lee initially, he was clearly head over heels for Katie and very excited to marry the girl.

“And Katie seemed very taken with him as well. They were both looking into each other’s eyes the whole time when I was doing the reading, never looked away, just transfixed like any couple would be, madly in love.

Darryl revealed that Lee reached out to him on Saturday enquiring into his services, one day after the couple announced their engagement on Instagram.

“When Lee messaged me on the Saturday, he said ‘I want to do a wedding with my fiancée’.

“Then he gave me the names as Lee Andrews and Katie Price, and I was a bit taken aback, so I wasn’t that surprised when I saw it was indeed her the following day.”

Following their big day, Katie and Lee have been sharing several loved-up selfies on social media.

“The happiest Mr and Mrs” read one photo caption, with another photo showing the pair cuddled up together in white dressing gowns.

Now back in the UK – and seemingly apart – Katie took to Instagram to reaffirm her love for Lee amid concern from her family.

“Despite all the noise going on, I miss you Lee,” she said in a video posted on her Stories.

“I love you unconditionally,” she concluded, kissing her huge diamond engagement ring.

The Sun understands Katie’s family, including her children, Princess and Junior Andre, had no idea she was getting married for a fourth time.

A source has exclusively told us that her loved ones are set to take action after growing alarmed by the quick nuptials.

“They’re planning on sitting down with her for a serious talk today,” the insider said.

“Everyone is worried she’s spinning out of control.

“They haven’t even met this man and if she’s only known him a week, he could be anyone.

“Nobody is planning to hold back.”

KATIE Price’s fantasist husband Lee Andrews has dropped another wild claim after describing himself as a ‘billionaire’. 

Former glamour model Katie, 47, tied the knot with “real gentleman” Lee – who claims to be a Dubai-based businessman – on Sunday. 

Since then The Sun has unmasked him as a fantasist who faked celebrity links using AI-generated photos and recently talked about marrying two other women.

Now a YouTube video has resurfaced showing Lee starring in a US short film titled Altum Ratio, in which he plays a man grieving the loss of his wife. 

During the clip Lee is heard using an unconvincing American accent while giving his best performance.

Failed actor is just another title to add to Lee’s questionable CV, after he claimed to have once worked as the Director of Philanthropy at The Prince’s Trust (now The King’s Trust).

BACKTRACKING

Katie Price’s husband DELETES fake pic with Kim Kardashian

Lee also shared images – since proven to be AI – of him working with Elon Musk and Kim Kardashian.

It’s been revealed shameless Lee told former girlfriends that he had studied at Cambridge University, and has a PhD in biotechnology science.

But The Sun has seen a response from the university explaining it could not find a record of Lee being registered as a student with a date of birth they had provided.

His LinkedIn profile says Lee has been a Member of the Board of Advisors to the Labour Party since 2015.

But a Labour source said: “We don’t have a board of advisors and he doesn’t work with us.”

The King’s Trust also confirmed Lee does not hold the role of Director of Philanthropy, and it has no record of him as a volunteer, or under the moniker Weslee Andrews, which he uses online.

Today Lee deleted an AI image of US reality star Kim, 45, from his Instagram profile.

The image appeared to show her at at event for Lee’s Aura Group business – but it’s disappeared from his grid.

A source close to Kim told The Sun: “Kim doesn’t know him, the photo is faked.

“This happens to her all the time – she’s never met or worked with this man.”

Yesterday, Lee was mocked for repeating the exact same proposal on Katie – that he did for another woman just four months ago.

He popped the question to fitness fan Alana Percival in September after they met in May on a Dubai beach.

Just a few months on, Lee picked the same private tub at Dubai’s Burj Al Arab hotel to propose to Katie.

Some have also accused Lee of giving Katie the same engagement ring that he gave to his ex-wife Dina Sari Taji.

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 after 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 his son throughout his life.

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.

2024-2026: After weeks of rumours, Katie confirmed her relationship with Married At First Sight star JJ Slater in February 2024. The pair split in January 2026 after two years together.

2026: Katie shocked fans when she revealed she had married Dubai-based businessman Lee Andrews after a 48-hour engagement and only knowing him a week.

KATIE Price’s new husband sent X-rated messages to an influencer just weeks before their wedding.

Businessman Lee Andrews called ex-bodybuilding champ Tina Prodromou, 48, a “sexy little beast” last month – and also joked about marrying her months earlier.

Single mum-of-two Tina began chatting to Lee, thought to be 41, online in December 2024.

The pair shared flirty messages but have never met in person.
Lee then wed glamour model and mum-of-five Katie, 47, in a shock whirlwind romance on Sunday.

Tina, who last spoke to Lee on December 31, told The Sun: “He would be very sexual at times, sometimes saying what he’d like to do – he’s flirty.

“I would go along with it, but my boundary was always the same – I’d shut it down with, ‘If we ever get married, then you can’.

Katie Price had talks for Celebs Go Dating BEFORE split from ex JJ Slater

“The sudden marriage announcement doesn’t sit right with me.
“I think it could be a massive publicity stunt. I’m calling b******t on it.”

Lee sent Tina racy messages – too graphic to be repeated in a family newspaper – on December 30, and they last spoke the following day.

Katie claims she met Lee through social media after her split from JJ Slater earlier this month.

The separation was confirmed on January 9, but JJ had already moved out of Katie’s home by this point, just days after they spent Christmas together.

Katie’s new relationship timeline is muddied by the fact she appeared to have Lee’s name tattooed on her hand on January 12.

She told The Sun the tattoo and the purchase of their wedding rings came days after they first hit it off.

In other Katie Price news…

“How I met Lee was esoteric; we connected [by] both checking each others’ socials and quickly realised, ‘wow, this is for me’,” she said.

“In the old-fashioned way, first by words which captured us both.

“That evolved deeper as we connected further within days [getting] matching tattoos, and then both deciding to buy rings for the other.

“All this without even meeting, we let fate, but you could say destiny, decide.”

Lee then wed Katie in a quiet Dubai ceremony on Sunday – with none of their loved ones present – after they connected online.

It came just two days after Katie stunned friends and fans by revealing on Instagram that she had got engaged for a ninth time.

Tina, from Enfield, North London, said: “We had good banter and he always came across warm and respectful with me – that’s why the timeline has shocked me.

“To be speaking to me like that at the end of December – he was affectionate, explicit – then a month later he’s married… it just doesn’t make sense to me.

“I’m not trying to paint him as a bad person, because I was genuinely drawn to him as a person.

“I just know it didn’t align with the person he presented himself as to me.
“I was genuinely shocked and, if I’m honest, a bit disappointed – because I’m someone who values integrity. It simply didn’t sit well with me.”

Tina, who ended a previous relationship last May, added: “After my break-up, I did play along more than before – but I still kept it to that same boundary, so there were no blurred lines.

“I told him that if we don’t find someone in the future, we will just marry each other.

“It was just flirty banter.”

British-Greek Tina has 19,000 Instagram followers on her account, @greeksuperwoman_official – where she frequently posts pictures flaunting her chiselled body.

In one exchange, on September 12, Lee responded to a picture Tina posted on her Instagram Story showing her toned abs, saying: “Gorgeous one!

“Absolutely looking amazing!!!!!!

“The things I’d do to you!!!

“When we are married.”

DOUBLE TROUBLE

Yesterday, we told how Lee had proposed to Katie in exactly the same way he did to his ex-girlfriend, Alana Percival, four months ago.

He gave her a chunky diamond ring and popped the question at Dubai’s swanky Burj Al Arab hotel by using rose petals to spell out the words: “Will you marry me?”

Brit real estate worker Alana, who is understood to have invested in one of Lee’s companies, got into a relationship with him after they met on a beach in the United Arab Emirates city last May.

But she called off their romance after becoming suspicious of his intentions.

Twice-married Lee was also today accused of proposing to Katie with the same ring he had given to his ex-wife, Dina Sari Taji, whom he reportedly was with from 2020 to 2024.

Lee is Katie’s fourth husband – following singer Peter Andre, ex-cage fighter Alex Reid, and personal trainer Kieran Hayler.

She only split from her Married At First Sight star ex JJ Slater, 32, earlier this month after nearly two years together.

The Sun revealed how Katie had married Lee on Sunday, two days after he proposed.

Our exclusive photographs showed former glamour model Katie, who has been married three times before, saying her vows with Lee in a top-secret location in Dubai.

Insiders said none of Katie’s family or friends knew she was getting married and found out on The Sun’s website.

A source added: “Everyone was gobsmacked.

“No one knew about the engagement, nor the wedding.

“The first time those close to her found out was on social media or in the news.

“Everyone is still in shock.”

Katie is set to speak about the whirlwind romance in full for the first time on her podcast with her sister, Sophie, later this week.

Katie, who has got matching tattoos with her new fella, told The Sun: “How I met Lee was esoteric.

“We connected by checking each other’s socials and quickly realised, ‘Wow this is for me’.”

Lee and Katie were approached for comment yesterday.

NEWLY single Jesy Nelson today joked that she’s “not always a haggard mum” as she revealed her glam makeover.

The former Little Mix star, 34, has had a tough time lately after she split from her fiance Zion Foster, and also having her twin daughters being diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1.

But today the mum-of-two showed off her glam makeover, as she enjoyed some pamper time after a gruelling month.

Jesy looked incredible in the photo, which she posted on her Instagram.

The singer had her trademark curly hair styled to perfection, and her make-up had been expertly applied.

The star completed her sexy look with a lowcut black crop top.

TOUGH TIME

Jesy treated herself to the glam makeover after enduring an incredibly tough time lately.

This includes her break-up with fiance Zion, after only getting engaged four months ago.

When news of their split emerged, a source told The Sun: “Jesy and Zion remain friends and are fully focused on their daughters.”

The insider added that the former couple are “united in co-parenting”, Zion and Jesy have been focusing on the wellbeing of their twins.

The new parents have been coming to terms with their two daughters, Ocean and Story, being diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1 — the most severe form of a rare disease affecting muscle strength and movement.

Jesy and Zion have been told it is unlikely the girls will ever walk, and may face serious breathing and swallowing difficulties.

Symptoms of SMA depend on which type of condition, but the most common include floppy or weak arms and legs, as well as swallowing and breathing problems.

If untreated, the life expectancy of a baby with SMA Type 1 is two years.

Early intervention is ­considered critical in limiting long-term impacts.

If the twins had been tested and treated in time, there is a chance they would have avoided disability.

It is now unlikely they will regain their neck strength after the disease caused nerve cells to die, leading to progressive muscle weakness.

Ocean and Story are under the care of Great Ormond Street Hospital in ­central London and have received treatment, including a one-off gene-therapy infusion approved by the NHS.

‘TRAUMATIC MOMENTS’

Meanwhile, in the wake of their split, Jesy’s ex Zion shared a candid post about “traumatic moments” and “stress”.

It came following the release of the first trailer for the singer’s new Amazon Prime docu-series; Jesy Nelson: Life After Little Mix, Zion has shared an insight into what went on behind the cameras.

Sharing the trailer, Zion wrote: “It’s finally here, coming to your screens via @primevideouk & @navybee.tv.

“The past year and a half has been a rollercoaster. When @jesynelson and I started this project we couldn’t see the road ahead, but to see how it all played out and having it filmed simply feels like God’s plan. The show is raw, authentic and honest.”

Continuing to reference their daughters Ocean Jade and Story Munroe’s diagnosis, Zion admitted it has been a “traumatic” time.

He said: “As a new family we were under immense pressure and stress. Alot of traumatic moments but nonetheless we made it here today. I believe this is only the beginning of our journey.

“Praying for clarity, peace and growth so we can continue to navigate the challenges we face; and give Ocean and Story the best support system possible. God’s in control”.

KATIE PRICE’S new mother in law has broken her silence on the star’s secret marriage to her son.

The former glamour model announced her engagement to Lee Andrews on Friday before the pair tied the knot in a shock ceremony in Dubai.

Now Lee’s mum Trisha has spoken out for the first time and revealed she knew the two were going to be getting hitched.

The clairvoyant from Nottingham told the Mirror: “As long as they are happy I am happy.

“There’s a lot of lies going around about Lee and that’s made me really upset. He’s not been married twice. I just want to defend my son, but I can’t say much more until I know everything.

“He did tell me that the wedding was happening. He spoke to me and if he is happy, I am happy – he’s my son, and that’s all that matters.”

Speaking about her new famous daughter-in-law, Trisha continued: “Of course, I know who Katie is.

“I’ve always been very neutral about her. Everyone deserves a chance, you should never judge anyone in life.”

She joked: “You can ask what it’s like to have a famous daughter-in-law, but she’s got a famous mother-in-law!”

On Friday, the reality star took to her Instagram stories to share a series of engagement pictures, sending fans into a frenzy.

In one photo, the mum-of-five was seen standing beside rose petals that were arranged to read ‘will you marry me’ before she showcased her huge diamond engagement ring.

However, just 48 hours later, she announced the pair had tied the knot in a quickie ceremony in Dubai, a move which has reportedly left her closest family and friends shocked.

In the pictures, the 47-year-old was seen beaming from ear to ear and locking lips with her new husband shortly after the ceremony.

Katie was seen in a cut-out, white bodycon dress while Lee wore white linen trousers and a taupe shirt.

The leggy dress displayed the reality TV legend’s toned abs and tattoos as she showed off her huge diamond ring.

The Sun understands Katie’s family were not aware of the wedding taking place and were not given prior warning it was happening.

An onlooker said: “Katie and Lee had no one with them when they got married. It was just the two of them.

“Katie couldn’t stop smiling, she seemed so taken with Lee. They said their vows and then kissed, it was sweet to watch.”

An officiator was seen in front of the pair reading from a script as they stood together in the sunshine saying their vows.

A family friend added: “Kate’s family are dumbstruck. To see she had got engaged after flying to Dubai – literally just after she had arrived was crazy.

“The fact she has now married him the following day is even more shocking.”

“No one knows who Lee is, they know nothing about him. Kate’s mum, her children, no one knew about the wedding.

“She has a lot of questions to answer when she comes home.”

The Sun understands Katie and Lee met just over a week ago.

They were introduced on social media and spent time talking before Lee invited Katie to fly out to Dubai to meet him.

He put on an extravagant proposal, with Katie branding him her “Richard Gere”.
