Couple

KATIE Price and her new husband Lee have insisted they’re the “strongest” and most “beautiful” couple they know as they revealed their plans to return to the UK.

The former glamour model, 47, tied the knot with the businessman in a secret ceremony last month and they’re currently on their honeymoon in Dubai, where he lives full time.

Lee Andrews was supposed to come to UK a few weeks ago but he claimed he was forced to delay his flight to look at properties for the pair to live in.

While fans of Katie were convinced it was because he wasn’t allowed to leave the country, we revealed Katie has put a deposit down on a pad in the UAE.

The loved-up pair have now revealed their both returning to the UK and it could be very soon.

Katie said: “So yeah we’re still in Dubai and we are coming to England very soon.

Lee replied: “Within a day right?”

Katie added: “Watch out England we’re coming for you.”

The star’s Walter Mitty-like husband shared a snap of the couple holding hands with the caption: “The strongest and most beautiful couple we know.”

Katie recently leapt to her man’s defence hitting out at “snakes” and “bitter people” amid rumours of Lee being a con-man.

She took to Instagram to post a furious message in defence of her new husband.

A loved up Katie added text to a clip which read: “@wesleeeandrews has given me more love more security more respect.

“And proven that everything that’s been said about him is absolute BS by bitter people and snakes in all areas.”

The Sun revealed how the self-proclaimed businessman lives a ‘Walter Mitty’ style existence in Dubai.

Lee was accused of using artificial intelligence to fake images of himself with tech billionaire Elon Musk and reality TV star Kim Kardashian.

He also claimed on his LinkedIn profile to have 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.”

Two of Lee’s exes also sent Katie stark warnings to stay away with one, Alana, telling her to “run for the hills.”

Despite Lee’s life seemingly unravelling the pair still seem set on moving into a home together.

Lee posted a mock-up of the lavish property on social media, which included his & her’s cars, rooms their for kids and their parents.

The room labelled “kids” comes amid recent hints that the former glamour model might be pregnant.

Lee and Katie’s dream home plans have emerged despite concern over their quickfire marriage from those closest to Katie.

A man who refused to move from a plane seat he had paid extra for shared details of the encounter, with people online backing his decision

Taking a long-haul flight can be deeply uncomfortable, but securing a decent seat has the power to transform the entire journey.

For those unable to afford the indulgence of first class, extra legroom in economy is arguably the closest alternative.

After shelling out extra cash for additional legroom on a gruelling 12-hour flight, one man stood his ground and refused to swap seats for an elderly couple who attempted to claim his spot.

Sharing his experience on popular forum Reddit, the man admitted he endured dirty looks from fellow passengers after declining to budge from the seat he’d paid for.

Titling the post, the Reddit user wrote: “Old couple try to take our seats on a plane.”

The man detailed: “Saw a few plane seat-related posts so I thought I would add my story.

“A few years ago my significant other and I planned a three-month trip around the world. Our first flight was from New Zealand-LA. 12-13 hours.”

“We booked and paid for our flights and I added the premium economy seats as I’m 6’3 and wanted the extra legroom. Cost an extra $60 (£50).

“This flight was with Air New Zealand, the screen has your name on it when you get to your seat.

“We get on the plane. Find our seats and there is this older couple sitting there (mid 70s). I ask them if they got confused with their seat numbers. They hadn’t.

“I show them my ticket and seat number and point to my name on the screen. They then ask me just sit in their seats which were ten rows back. No leg room.”

After the elderly pair refused to budge from the seats, the man insisted they return to their allocated places as he had “paid extra”.

The man eplained the exchange: “Me: You want me to sit in your seats?”.

“OP(old people): Yes, that would be nice thank you.

“Me: I paid extra for these seats and would like to sit in them. Please move to your seats.

“OP: Oh, it’s not that bad there’s plenty of legroom.

“Me: Yeah, there’s plenty of legroom in my seats because I paid for it. I’ll help move your bag if you need.”

During their discussion, a flight attendant intervened to find out what was happening as a lengthy queue had formed down the aisle.

The exchange continued: “OP: This man wants us to move seats!”.

“Flight attendant: Sir, please go to your allocated seats.

“Me: Here is my ticket, these people are sitting in my seats. I paid extra because I need the legroom.

“FA to old people: Excuse me, you will have to move to your own seats as you have not paid for these seats.

“Old people: Well, can we please have an upgrade?”.

“FA: Sorry, this is a full flight so that’s not possible.”

The man said: “I got some stink eyes from other people on the flight. I paid for the extra legroom and I need it.”

Taking to the comments section, Reddit users weighed in on the contentious incident.

One said: “I have no idea why the other people who paid extra for legroom would glare at this guy.”

Meanwhile, another person added: “This isn’t a two hour flight where you buck up for the good of old people, which is still not right given the social experience that is flying – I wouldn’t care if it was a two hour flight there is still the principle of the matter, but I may cave depending on my mood.”

They said: “12-13 hours is no joke though – there is no giving in. You move those people or the plane doesn’t take off!”.

Writer Neil Gaiman denied sexual misconduct allegations first brought forth against him over a year and a half ago in a statement released Monday.

Gaiman, the bestselling fantasy author behind “The Sandman” comic books, and novels and shows “American Gods” and “Good Omens,” called the allegations, which emerged in the summer of 2024, a “smear campaign” that are “simply and completely untrue.”

“These allegations, especially the really salacious ones, have been spread and amplified by people who seemed a lot more interested in outrage and getting clicks on headlines rather than whether things had actually happened or not,” Gaiman wrote.

Five women first accused the 65-year-old British author of sexual misconduct in the summer of 2024, appearing in the Tortoise Media podcast “Master: The Allegations Against Neil Gaiman.” The women claimed Gaiman had them call him “master” during their alleged sexual encounters.

Eight women then accused the author of assault, abuse and coercion in an article published by New York magazine just over a year ago.

Scarlett Pavlovich, Gaiman’s former nanny, filed a lawsuit against the author and his estranged wife Amanda Palmer, almost exactly a year ago, accusing the couple of human trafficking. She alleged that she was brutally and repeatedly raped and sexually assaulted by Gaiman while working for the couple without pay.

“Gaiman repeatedly physically and emotionally abused Scarlett, raping her vaginally and anally, humiliating her, forcing her into sexual conduct in front of Gaiman’s child, and forcing her to touch and lick feces and urine,” the complaint states. Gaiman called Pavlovich “slave” and ordered her to call him “master,” the complaint states.

The abuse took place while Pavlovich was providing babysitting services for the couple in New Zealand in 2022, according to the suit.

All other allegations against the author stemmed from the 1990s to 2022, when he was living in the United States, Britain and New Zealand.

The author has sold more than 50 million copies of his books worldwide, and many have received film and television adaptations over the years. His work drew a large female readership, typically uncommon for comic-book writers. The allegations clashed with the self-proclaimed feminist writer’s public persona.

Gaiman has spent the last year out of the spotlight, after publishing company Dark Horse Comics cut ties with him shortly after the New York magazine article was published. Gaiman was also dropped from various film and TV adaptations of his work, including the final season of Amazon’s “Good Omens” and the streamer’s new “Anansi Boys” TV series.

He was also left out of press for the final season of Netflix’s “The Sandman” last year and Disney halted development of “The Graveyard Book” months after the initial allegations.

The author last publicly addressed the allegations a day after the New York magazine article was released, and wrote he had stayed quiet “both out of respect for the people who were sharing their stories and out of a desire not to draw even more attention to a lot of misinformation.”

At the time, Gaiman wrote that he “could have and should have done so much better,” admitting that he “was obviously careless with people’s hearts and feelings, and that’s something that I really, deeply regret. It was selfish of me. I was caught up in my own story and I ignored other people’s.”

Gaiman’s most recent statement comes just days after an unidentified Substack user who goes by TechnoPathology posted the latest in a series of articles over the last year defending the fantasy author.

Gaiman claimed he hasn’t been in contact with the anonymous poster but would “like to thank them personally for actually looking at the evidence and reporting what they found, which is not what anyone else had done.”

He said “the actual evidence was dismissed or ignored” by most reporting, including “mountains” of “emails, text messages and video evidence that flatly contradict” the claims.

The author also announced in the statement that he’s been working on a book throughout the “strange, turbulent and occasionally nightmarish year and a half.” The project is his longest since the 450-plus-page “American Gods,” he said.

“It’s a rough time for the world,” Gaiman wrote. “I look at what’s happening on the home front and internationally, and I worry; and I am still convinced there are more good people out there than the other kind.”

The couple quit their jobs and sold all their belongings so they’d be free to travel the world and on a recent adventure, they decided to book a ‘giant waterslide’ but it was very different to what they expected

A couple booked what they believed to be a “giant waterslide” while abroad on holiday – but the reality of their booking was jaw-dropping. Many people plan adventure holidays or book to go travelling in a bid to see more of the world.

Couple George and Crissa decided to quit their jobs and sell all their belongings so they could jet off on “the journey of a lifetime”. Originally from Tampa in Florida, US, they document their adventures on YouTube and other social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram.

On their YouTube channel, they explained their adventures initially began with the purchase of an RV, which they used to drive across North America for a year. In a recent clip, shared on TikTok, the couple shared their experience of a popular attraction in New Zealand.

New Zealand has long been a bucket list destination for countless people, thanks to its expansive, unspoiled natural scenery that’s seen it branded the “real Middle Earth”, a nod to the part it played in the making of the beloved Lord of the Rings trilogy.

It’s got a rich Maori culture, breathtaking fjords, varied wildlife, decadent and acclaimed wines, and much more. It’s also home to some exciting adventure hotspots and attractions, with George and Cris learning their perception of a “giant waterslide” was different to ZORB’s in Rotorua, NZ.

In a video shared on TikTok, the couple showcased the popular “slide”, which sees people jump into a giant inflatable ball and be pushed down “slides” made from the grassy, green hills.

Over the top of the clip, the couple added text which reads: “POV [point of view]: your husband books a ‘giant waterslide’ then realises that means something very different in New Zealand”.

In the caption, they explained: “Did you know you can roll down a massive hill inside a giant inflatable ball in New Zealand?! ZORB is one of New Zealand’s most iconic bucket list experiences.

“Spinning, bouncing, and laughing your way downhill in a transparent orb. It basically feels like you’re in a hamster ball water slide.”

Of the cost, they revealed they “did the ‘four ride combo’ for NZ$155/US$100 (£72)” but added “there are several other packages” on the ZORB website.

In the comments section, fellow TikTok users were keen to share their thoughts. One person joked: “I can’t explain it… but I know I would drown.”

Another said: “I’ve done this … it’s like being inside a washing machine [crying laughing emoji] very fun even though you feel like you’re gonna drown half the time”.

A third had a different perspective and commented: “I’ve done this and it was the worst experience of my life”.

A fourth said: “Yeah you wouldn’t catch me dead in one of those. I’m actually panicking at the sight of this”.

Someone else shared: “I did this back in 2018 and it was so fun! My life did briefly flash before my eyes though when I got stuck underwater beneath my two friends”.

One TikTok user revealed: “I got so much anxiety doing that, felt sick, was horrible, will never do it again”.

Another added: “Tempted to fly to New Zealand exclusively for this.”
