Princess Andre drops huge hint about how she’s REALLY feeling after her mum Katie’s marriage to Lee Andrews

PRINCESS Andre seems to have broken her silence on how she’s feeling after her mother’s whirlwind marriage.

Katie Price and Lee Andrews wed in an intimate ceremony after only being engaged for two days.

The pair reportedly bought each other engagement rings after speaking for less than a week online, and before they had ever even met.

But Katie’s daughter Princess made a post to TikTok that appears to indicate that she’s having quite a rough time.

The vulnerable post showed a picture of Princess looking relatively downcast with an inspiring message penned over the top.

It read: “The greatest skill you can build is learning how to stay in a good mood even when there are a hundred reasons not to.”

Inside Princess Andre’s desperate bid to save mum Katie from ‘conman’ hubby

She accompanied this by sharing that she’s been writing in her journal, showing the words ‘Liebes Tagebuch’ inked onto a page dated February 1.

The words translate from German to English to read: “Dear Diary.”

Princess added: “When life hits you so hard you have to pull out this move…” to the diary snap.

The TikTok comes shortly after Katie announced that she’s considering moving to Dubai to be with Lee.

She’s been jetting back and forth to the country despite concern from her loved ones about her new husband being a swindler.

Despite Katie saying her latest trip would be a short one, there doesn’t look like any sign she will be heading back to the UK soon.

A source has told The Sun that Katie has been talking about moving there and is already thinking about places to live.

The onlooker said: “She was in a restaurant and I recognised her immediately – she was talking about a property she’s buying out here [Dubai] so they could move here for good, and her husband was laying it on thick – telling her exactly what she wanted to hear, how great he’d make it.

“She was lapping it up. He was selling her a dream but I got a bad vibe from him.”

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 said: “Kate married Lee without telling anyone – the whole family are completely horrified.

“It is moving very fast and they are concerned about Kate’s frame of mind.

“No one knows who Lee really is and whether he is any good for her.

“It’s all total chaos at the moment and no one has a clue what is happening.”

Katie, 47, was previously married to Peter Andre, Alex Reid and Kieran Hayler.

She’s documented all her top tips on The Travel Mum – and there will be even more in her book ‘Yes You Can Travel With Kids‘ which will be released on February 12, 2026.

Jenna has two children ages six and one, so there are a few necessities when it comes to book hotels from splash pools, kids’ clubs and of course, being affordable.

DREAMY DEALS

Our pick of the best long haul holidays for short haul prices

Jenna said: “The best all-inclusive, cheap, hotel I’ve been to was AluaSun Costa Park in Torremolinos.

“The Costa del Sol is always great for cheap hotels and this one was all-inclusive. We didn’t go during the school holidays, so it wasn’t busy either.

“It was a really easy pick because it was so close to the airport with a short transfer time, and a free shuttle that went down to the beach.

“There was a little splash park for the kids too and the food was good.”

The AluaSun Costa Park hotel sits on the Costa Del Sol, in Torremolinos.

It has a seasonal outdoor swimming pool surrounded by a sun terrace filled with loungers – and for kids, there’s a big splash park.

It’s within walking distance of two beaches; Playa de los Álamos and Playa de la Carihuela.

One of Jenna’s top all-inclusive stays was in Agadir where she paid just £600 for her family of three at the time.

She said: “Allegro Agadir was amazing, it was very cheap and cheerful and right on the beach.

“It was just the three of us at the time and we paid £600 for a five-night all-inclusive.

“That didn’t include flights though, we did it DIY.”

The hotel is a short walk from the beach where there are complimentary sunbeds for hotel guests.

There are also two outdoor pools including one for children along with a buffet restaurant and three bars.

On Booking.com a family of four can stay at the Allegra Agadir for three-nights at £601 with an all-inclusive deal (flights not included) from February 16, 2026.

Or, a five-night all-inclusive package with loveholidays starts from £589pp with flights departing on October 26, 2026.

The mini club at the GF Victoria has little go-karts for kidsCredit: Jet2Holidays

Another top pick when it comes to hotels for Jenna was the GF Victoria in Tenerife.

She told us: “It was fantastic and so good for families, especially the restaurant.

“There was a play area right next door with a glass wall. So when the kids start whining they’re finished and want to get up and go – you can finish your meal and let them play.

“There was a huge kids’ buffet with all the beige stuff they love. And there was a baby club along with a kids’ club.

“It was a holiday for us rather than a promotion, but I ended up promoting it anyway because it was such a great place – I had to tell everyone about it.”

Guests can enjoy the great weather in Tenerife at one of the four swimming pools, splash park and aqua park.

Inside is a baby club, mini club with a racing track, teen club with games like table football and air hockey.

There are also six bars and three restaurants across the resort all with children’s menus.

TV presenter’s mum kidnapped as terrifying ‘ransom note’ sent to press

Today host Savannah Guthrie’s mother Nancy was last seen on Saturday night at her Arizona home – and now TMZ claim to have received a random note in relation to her kidnapping

There has been a new develop in the case of Today host Savannah Guthrie’s missing mother, with TMZ claiming to have received a “ransom note” in relation to her kidnapping. Savannah’s 84-year-old mother Nancy was reportedly taken from her home in Arizona’s Catalina Hills on Feb 1 before the alarm was raised by a family member later that day.

The police confirmed yesterday that they are treating Nancy’s disappearance as a crime after making a “very concerning” discovering in her home. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said: “We do in fact have a crime scene.

“We do in fact have a crime. She did not leave on her own. We know that.”

Now, American news outlet TMZ is claiming to have received a ransom note from Nancy’s kidnappers, asking for millions of dollars in Bitcoin to be sent to a specific Bitcoin address. In a video posted to TMZ’s X page, host Harvey Levin told the camera: “So we got something in our email that looks like a, is written like, a ransom note for Savannah Guthrie’s mother.”

Co-host Charles Latibeaudiere added: “Specific requests for specific amounts of money, bitcoin.” Harvey added: “And also they say at the bottom, there are certain things they are saying about what she was wearing and damage to the house.

“We have contacted the sheriff’s department, and we want to get them this letter. We had a little trouble getting through to the right person. We spoke with someone who is now forwarding this to somebody in the detective bureau. If my phone rings, I may have to stop.”

Charles added: “What’s interesting is, you know, there was just a news conference that just ended with the sheriff, and he was asked about—we’re going to do this segment in a few minutes—but he was asked about a ransom note, and he just said, ‘We are following all leads.'”

Harvey warned viewers that they don’t know whether the note is “authentic or not”, but noted that it did contain details about the crime scene. “They are acting as if, ‘Yeah, only we would know these things and we’re serious.’

“And there’s a dollar demand and an ‘or else’ in there, so we will let you know as this develops.”

They revealed that the Bitcoin address listed in the note is a legitimate address. Meanwhile, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department wrote on X, writing that they are “aware of reports circulating about possible ransom note(s) regarding the investigation into Nancy Guthrie”.

In light of her mother’s disappearance, Savannah announced last night that she would be dropping out of hosting duties at the upcoming 2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremony as “she focuses on being with her family during this difficult time,” an NBC Sports spokesperson said.

“Thank you for lifting your prayers with ours for our beloved mom, our dearest Nancy, a woman of deep conviction, a good and faithful servant,” she wrote on Instagram on Monday.

Jesy Nelson reveals heart-stopping moment her mum raised the alarm on twins’ SMA struggle after moving to Cornwall

JESY Nelson has described the terrifying moment her mum raised the alarm about her twins’ SMA struggle.

The pop star secretly moved to Cornwall after giving birth to the two little girls following a high-risk pregnancy.

She says her mum Janice noticed Ocean and Story’s lack of leg movement on a trip to visit them.

Speaking on Jamie Laing’s podcast Great Company with Jesy Nelson, the former Little Mix star said:  “Me and Zion decided we wanted to move to Cornwall because our babies had been through all this trauma, and we just wanted them to grow up in a peaceful setting and just be around the sea and live like a kid.

“I honestly was not even taking notice of their legs because they’re my first set of children, so I don’t know how they should be moving their legs, or what they should and shouldn’t be doing anyway.

“Because we had just moved six hours away, my mum wasn’t with me every day.

Jesy Nelson reveals devastating moment Gary Barlow made her cry with savage dig

“I think she noticed how much it had deteriorated, and she said, ‘Jesy, they don’t move their legs very much. Have you noticed that?’

“She kept comparing them to my nephew, but I said George was a full time baby and because the twins were premature you can’t compare them.

“She said, ‘I know Jesy, but something’s not right’.

“My mum is such a such a worrier. She worries about everything – a bit like me, she thinks the worst in every situation.

“And so I just thought that was her over-worrying then a week went by, and I remember changing their nappy and just thinking ‘oh, god, they actually don’t move their legs at all’.

“For some reason they just stopped.”

Fearing her mum was right, Jesy booked to see a paediatrician straight away.

After being told the babies needed blood tests and a brain scan, Jesy left the doctors in tears.

She was later told the identical twins have Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1 — the most severe form of a rare disease affecting muscle strength and movement.

Jesy is now working tirelessly to raise awareness of SMA and campaigning for the condition to be added to the NHS newborn heel-prick test, which currently screens for ten other conditions.

She spoke to The Sun about the diagnosis and her new new six-part docuseries on Prime Video, which follows her journey into motherhood as she reflects back on her time in Little Mix.

It’s the first time she’s opened up about quitting the band in 2020.

Read our full interview with Jesy about hope of reconciling with her former Little Mix friends and mending her relationship with Simon Cowell here.

  • Jesy Nelson: Life After Little Mix will be aired on Prime Video from February 13.

Spinal Muscular Atrophy: Signs and symptoms

Spinal muscular atrophy is a disease which takes away a person’s strength and it causes problems by disrupting the motor nerve cells in the spinal cord.

This causes an individual to lose the ability to walk, eat and breathe.

There are four types of SMA – which are based on age.

  • Type 1 is diagnosed within the first six months of life and is usually fatal.
  • Type 2 is diagnosed after six months of age.
  • Type 3 is diagnosed after 18 months of age and may require the individual to use a wheelchair.
  • Type 4 is the rarest form of SMA and usually only surfaces in adulthood.

What are the symptoms?

The symptoms of SMA will depend on which type of condition you have.

But the following are the most common symptoms:

• Floppy or weak arms and legs

• Movement problems – such as difficulty sitting up, crawling or walking

• Twitching or shaking muscles

• Bone and joint problems – such as an unusually curved spine

• Swallowing problems

• Breathing difficulties

However, SMA does not affect a person’s intelligence and it does not cause learning disabilities.

How common is it?

The majority of the time a child can only be born with the condition if both of their parents have a faulty gene which causes SMA.

Usually, the parent would not have the condition themselves – they would only act as a carrier.

Statistics show around 1 in every 40 to 60 people is a carrier of the gene which can cause SMA.

If two parents carry the faulty gene there is a 1 in 4 (25 per cent) chance their child will get spinal muscular atrophy.

It affects around 1 in 11,000 babies.

Mum forced to miss £820 holiday and is BANNED from flight after tiny passport mistake 

A WOMAN was forced to miss her holiday after she was stopped from boarding an easyJet flight when they discovered an issue with her passport.

Donna Fairclough was due to fly out of Manchester Airport and was ‘heartbroken’ to miss out on an £820 holiday to Malta.

Donna Fairclough and her fiancé Gary Broadley were due to fly to Malta from Manchester Airport on January 3, 2026.

However, Donna was turned away from the flight by easyJet because of a sizeable tear in her passport.

The damage was across the photo page of her travel document and the size of the tear meant that she wasn’t allowed to board the flight.

Talking to Manchester Evening News, Donna said: “The rip was initially about a quarter-of-an-inch. I was excited to go away. It was heartbreaking because we lost out on a holiday because of a rip.

“I said to my partner, you can still see my face and my passport number and it didn’t affect any of that. That’s what I couldn’t understand.”

As well as missing out on their holiday, the pair have claimed that easyJet won’t refund them for their break as the rip is classified as ‘accidental damage’.

Advice on the Gov.UK website reads: “If your passport is damaged you must replace it. You may not be able to travel with it. HM Passport Office will consider your passport damaged if […] any of the pages are ripped, cut or missing.”

HM Passport Office will also consider your passport damaged if you cannot read any of the details, the cover is coming away, or if there are stains on the page.

Donna has since got a new passport and has urged other holidaymakers to check theirs before travelling.

easyJet responded in a statement that the airline is “sorry” that Ms Fairclough was not able to go on her holiday and “understand how disappointing this must have been”.

The airline added it “works closely with the authorities and complies with their guidance to ensure the safety and security of customers and crew, and this means we can’t allow anyone to travel if their documentation is damaged.”

They then advised Donna on how she could get a new passport and have been in touch with further support.

It’s not just damage to passports that can halt passengers from boarding flights, issues with expiry dates have caught travellers out too.

Previous rules allowed British passport holders to roll over 10 months from their previous passports meaning they’d have validity of up to 10 years and 10 months.

But the current rules no longer see those additional 10 months as valid, even if they are on your passport.

So, if your passport was issued in June 2015, but your expiry date says September 2025, that expiry is actually incorrect.

Instead, your passport would have expired 10 years past the start date – making the real expiry is actually June 2025.

There’s also the three month rule – a number of countries require British holidaymakers to have a few additional months left on their passport to travel.

Most places in Europe require British travellers to have at least three months left on the passport before it expires.

Passport Rules

Everything you need to know about passports

Here’s another common passport mistake that is costing Brits £1.1million a year on holiday.

And another woman was left sobbing after easy passport mistake saw her BANNED from her flight.

Newly single Jesy Nelson jokes she’s ‘not always a haggard mum’ after glam makeover

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.

‘DEVASTATED’

Jesy captioned her post: “Not always a haggard old Mum thanks to my @zoejamesmakeup.”

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”.
