Katie Price’s son, Harvey, who is blind and autistic, has a big change ahead of him as he leaves residential college and heads out into the ‘real word’

Katie Price has revealed her eldest child, Harvey, is ‘coming home for good’

Katie Price has revealed her eldest child, Harvey, is “coming home for good” after struggling to find the 23-year-old a college place. Harvey, who is blind and autistic – and is one of 2,000 people in the UK who has Prader Willi syndrome – has a big change ahead of him as he leaves the specialist school he’s currently in and heads out into the “real world”.

Katie, 47, has spoken candidly about the cost of keeping Harvey in residential college amid cuts to council funding as well as being declared bankrupt for the second time. And now, she’s revealed her “baby bear” is coming home to her before Harvey moves to independent living in October in Littlehampton.

Speaking on her podcast with her sister, Sophie, she said: “Harvey is doing the countdown for his new place. He’s got his leavers ceremony where they give out certificates and then it’s the ‘real world’ Mr Harvey Price.

Katie explained that Harvey was first going to a temporary accommodation, before beginning his new placement in October.

She shared: “I’ve found him a place in Southampton which is temporary. It’s got five other adults in it. Then he moves to his place in October, which is Littlehampton, which will be nearer to me. He’s going from college to independent living.”

The glamour icon took to her Facebook page, sharing her excitement over Harvey’s big change as she cuddled next to her firstborn in his college bedroom.

She captioned the adorable snap: “Reunited with my baby bear. Harvey’s coming home for good in 12 days.”

Last Tuesday, Katie shared another photo of the pair and gushed: “Love you so much Harv, not long now” with the hashtags ‘#soproudofyou #familytime # newbeginningsahead.”

Harvey, whose father is former footballer, Dwight Yorke, had been living at the £350,000-a-year specialist school, National Star since 2021, but amid cuts to funding and Katie’s financial difficulties, he was withdrawn last year.

The mum-of-five has had a tough time trying find her son a new place, with one care home calling Harvey ‘too difficult’ and the West Sussex County Council reducing his funding.

Katie spoke candidly on her podcast about tirelessly trying to get Harvey into a new place after she was forced to withdraw him from National Star.

Though he later returned to school, the doting mum was hit by more upheaval in February when Harvey lost a place at a care home.

At the time, Katie claimed that her son had lost his place weeks before he was due to move in after the management changed and they determined that they couldn’t cater for his needs.

Reflecting on Harvey’s heartache, she said: “We worked months and months for that and he was told four-and-a-half weeks before that he couldn’t go there, and Harvey has been doing the countdown.

“It’s stressful because you want the right thing for your child and it is a lot of time and effort to go back and do more meetings, more forms, it is very time-consuming because you want the best for your child.”

Popstar Peter Andre shares the devastating reality of living with a parent with Alzheimer’s, admitting it’s ‘so painful’ for everyone who loves and cares for them

Peter Andre has admitted he experiences feelings of guilt as his mum Thea, who lives in Australia, continues to battle Alzheimer’s disease. The dad of five spoke out after former GMTV star Fiona Phillips released a heartbreakingly honest account of her own struggles resulting from the neurological disease.

Peter’s mum Thea was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, both of which are progressive neurological diseases which affect both brain function and movement of the body. In his weekly column for OK!, the Mysterious Girl singer said he and his siblings felt “guilt and worry” as they witnessed their beloved mum deteriorate.

“I read about Fiona Phillips’ experience of Alzheimer’s and the strain it has taken on not just her but her family,” he said. “It’s absolutely heartbreaking. With a disease like Alzheimer’s it’s so hard, number one, for the person affected, but it’s also heartbreaking for those who love and care for them.”

Former Mirror columnist Fiona, 64, published an article last week detailing her everyday life with condition, and the effect it has had on not just herself but her loved ones.

In a joint memoir written with her husband of 28 years, Martin Frizzell, Fiona recalled discovering she had the progressive illness in 2022, and revealed she initially attributed her brain fog and mood swings to menopause.

Her husband Martin, who was the boss at ITV’s This Morning for a decade until stepping down in February to take care of Fiona, also revealed the extent to which the disease has impacted Fiona’s cognitive processes. On bad days, he shared, her confusion leads her to ask to see her parents who have sadly already passed away.

In excerpts from their memoir published in the Daily Mail, he wrote: “It is January 2025 as I write this, and Fiona needs a lot of help,” said Martin. “She needs help showering and brushing her teeth. She can do these things physically, but is unable now to think about how she should do them…”.

Popstar Pete said he was all too familiar with the impact Alzheimer’s has on those around the person affected, and that he empathised with Fiona and Martin.

Peter’s parents are both in their 80s now

With my mum, I see the decline happening, and I know the feelings of guilt and worry that we, her loved ones, feel. It is so painful for everyone and my heart goes out to Fiona, her husband Martin and her boys.”

Thea and his dad Savvas live on Australia’s Gold Coast, and he regularly travels to visit them. During a visit Down Under in January, Pete revealed said his visits also brought up mixed emotions. “Being with my mum and dad in Australia was incredible, but understandably also very emotional. I went with my brother, Michael, and we got to spend quality time with my sister as well.

“The hardest bit for me is leaving them. Both Mum and Dad are on the decline, unfortunately, especially my mum.”

Loose Women’s Coleen Nolan has opened up about her family feud and the tragic reason why she began speaking with her siblings again.

Loose Women’s Coleen Nolan revealed the heartbreaking reason behind the end of her family feud during Monday’s episode of the ITV programme.

During the show, the panel discussed recent photographs of King Charles and Prince Harry’s senior advisers meeting secretly in London.

With speculation mounting about a potential Royal reconciliation, the episode sparked conversation about family disputes, prompting Coleen to share a deeply personal revelation about her past estrangement from her siblings.

She revealed: “When I had a fallout with my sisters years ago, we didn’t speak for four years. People would say, ‘Oh, but you’re family.’

“At that point, when you’re all a bit angry at each other and you’re all about like, ‘Well, I’m not giving in, I’m not saying sorry because I didn’t do anything.’

“It used to annoy me because people would say, ‘Yeah, but you’re family.’ I would say if they were my friends, I wouldn’t talk to them right now.”

Nevertheless, the 60-year-old revealed it required a devastating event to heal their broken relationship, reports Belfast Live.

She continued: “It’s only when something happens, something that really wakes you up. With us, it was obviously Bernie’s passing away. That woke us up to go; life is too short.”

Discussing Prince Harry and King Charles, Coleen confessed she hopes to witness their relationship restored, believing they too will eventually face their own moment of realisation.

She reflected: ” Ultimately, whatever you’ve done, the only good thing about family is that, even through all of that, I still loved them, and I didn’t want anything bad to happen.”

Coleen’s sister Bernie tragically died in 2013 after a fierce battle with cancer at just 52 years old.

Initially diagnosed in 2010, Bernie, a singer, underwent chemotherapy and a mastectomy and was given the all-clear in 2012.

Tragically, the cancer returned, spreading to her brain, bones, lungs, and liver.

At that time, a family spokesperson expressed their heartbreak: “The entire family are devastated to have lost beloved Bernie, a wonderful wife, adoring mother and loving sister, she is irreplaceable.”

More sorrow struck recently when Coleen’s other sister, Linda, succumbed to cancer earlier this year at 65.

An “utterly devastated” Coleen paid homage, saying: “Her wit, humour and laughter was infectious, her presence could light up any room. Linda had a heart full of compassion and always knew how to bring comfort and joy to those around her.”

The Tiara That Told a Tale: How Princess Catherine Quietly Redefined Royal Legacy

In the silent shimmer of diamond and pearl, history can speak louder than words. No piece of jewelry captures this truth more poignantly than the Lover’s Knot tiara—a royal artifact weighted not just with its material splendor but with emotion, legacy, and deep cultural symbolism. When Catherine, Princess of Wales, stepped into a grand Buckingham Palace dinner wearing that tiara—once a favorite of Princess Diana—the world noticed. But behind the flashing cameras and whispered awe, another story unfolded: one of grief, quiet rivalry, and the unspoken shifting of royal power.

The Tiara That Changed the Room

It wasn’t the first time Catherine had worn the Lover’s Knot. Since its reappearance in 2015, the tiara had become one of her signature pieces, but at this particular state banquet, everything felt heightened. The grandeur of the room, the occasion’s significance, and the silent weight of legacy hanging in the air all contributed to what became a watershed moment in royal optics.

As Catherine entered the hall, poised and calm, eyes turned instinctively—not toward the music, the décor, or even the king and queen—but toward the tiara that sat upon her head. Diamonds glistened, pearls swayed gently, and in those moments, time seemed to bend. The past came alive in memory, and for many watching, it felt as if Diana herself had entered the room once more.

The Silent Observer: Queen Camilla

Among those in attendance stood Queen Camilla, resplendent in her own royal regalia, yet somehow emotionally eclipsed. Though she wore a tiara of grandeur—perhaps even more valuable in material terms—it lacked what the Lover’s Knot possessed: a story. A connection. A spirit.

Camilla, who had waited decades to wear the crown, now found herself metaphorically—and in many ways, emotionally—outshone. Her smile, though gracious, faltered. Her glance toward Catherine’s crown lingered too long. Observers noted the contrast between the two women not just in presence, but in meaning. Camilla was the queen by title. Catherine, in that moment, became the queen of hearts.

More Than Jewelry: The Legacy of the Lover’s Knot

The Lover’s Knot is no ordinary tiara. Commissioned by Queen Mary in 1914 and passed down through Queen Elizabeth II to Diana, Princess of Wales, it had become a symbol of beauty, resilience, and pain. Diana wore it during her most public triumphs and private struggles. It crowned her in fairy-tale beginnings and accompanied her through lonely, scrutinized years as her marriage unraveled.

After Diana’s untimely death, the tiara vanished from public sight for nearly two decades. Its reappearance on Catherine wasn’t just about aesthetics; it was a revival of memory, an echo of love and loss.

Why Not Camilla?

Given her seniority and title, many expected Camilla to inherit Diana’s most iconic jewel. Instead, it was passed quietly to Catherine. The decision, though never publicly explained by the Palace, spoke volumes. Whether it was Queen Elizabeth II’s private wish or Prince William’s quiet intervention, the message was clear: Catherine was not just a daughter-in-law. She was the future.

For Camilla, the snub—intentional or not—was deeply symbolic. Though she had walked a long and difficult path from public scorn to royal acceptance, the tiara remained out of reach. And in the tradition-bound corridors of royalty, symbolism matters.

A New People’s Princess

Public sentiment only amplified the emotional weight of that night. Across social media, side-by-side images of Diana and Catherine wearing the tiara began to circulate. “The new people’s princess,” users wrote. Catherine didn’t attempt to imitate Diana, yet the visual similarities—soft grace, quiet confidence, understated strength—were impossible to ignore. She didn’t need to declare anything. The tiara did the talking.

And that’s the paradox of monarchy in the modern age: where words are rare, symbols speak volumes. Catherine, without uttering a sentence, had stepped into a legacy—one that the public willingly bestowed upon her.

A Shift in Royal Power

The moment marked more than personal emotion. It was a shift in public perception. The crown may have been placed upon Camilla’s head, but the heart of the monarchy, it seemed, now pulsed through Catherine. With every appearance in Diana’s jewels, every quiet moment of dignity, and every careful step forward, Catherine was being woven into the emotional fabric of the nation.

Camilla, for all her efforts, could not escape the legacy of the woman she once replaced in Charles’s life. And now, watching the past live again through Catherine must have been a piercing reminder of what acceptance looks like—and how elusive it can be, even for a queen.

The Finality of Tradition

Royal tradition is as much about continuity as it is about choice. Once a tiara is passed, it remains with the recipient for life. There are no swaps, no borrowings. The Lover’s Knot now belongs solely to Catherine. It is hers not just to wear, but to carry—as an emblem of both memory and responsibility.

In that, she honors not only Diana but also the monarchy itself. Her ability to channel tradition without being burdened by it, to evoke history while signaling change, is perhaps what makes her the perfect royal for the 21st century.

A Legacy Reimagined

Catherine did not set out to “replace” Diana—nor could she. What she has done, instead, is continue Diana’s legacy in a way that feels natural, respectful, and sincere. She does not wear the tiara to command attention, but in doing so, she invites reflection—on the past, on progress, and on the women who shape royal history not by force, but by quiet example.

Camilla has her place, and she has earned it through endurance. But Catherine has won something even more powerful: the love of the people, passed down like a silent torch, from one generation to the next.

In the end, this is not just the story of a tiara. It’s the story of a crown that exists beyond gold and gems—a crown made of memory, emotion, and meaning. And on that unforgettable night, it rested not on the reigning queen’s head, but on the one destined to carry the monarchy forward.

Catherine, not by proclamation, but by presence, had become the Queen in waiting.

Daisy May Cooper is a much loved comedian and telly star

Daisy May Cooper appeared on Loose Women today to promote her new book, Hexy B***h.

Her new book explores her unexplained brushes with the paranormal. It was here that Daisy May was brought to tears, whilst discussing “hearing signs” of her late best friend’s spirit.

Daisy May Cooper brought to tears on Loose Women

The This Country star explained her interest in the “real and unreal” began as a child, when her mum’s sister sadly died at 30 years old in a car accident.

“I think it was her desperation for validation that her sister had gone on somewhere and that she wasn’t lost forever,” Daisy explained. “As a kid, I was constantly dragged around these terrible physics in the back rooms of pubs.”

Ruth Langsford then brought up Daisy’s loss of her best friend Michael Sleggs, who also starred on This Country. The host said: “You said if anyone is going to give me a sign, it would be him.”

Daisy explained: “You know what was so strange when Michael was dying he was in so much pain, so much agony, he was terrified.

“He phoned me and said, ‘You know Daisy, I’m not scared anymore. I had this kind of angelic spirit come to me and said in seven days that I would have a new body. Which means I’m either going to get better or I’m going to pass away – but I will be free of this pain.’

Daisy May Cooper discusses death of friend Michael Sleggs

“He died within seven days, and I think that is extraordinary. There are so many things that you just can’t explain.”

An emotional Daisy explained that Michael did indeed give her a sign.

She explained that although at the time she thought it “a bit naff”, Michael had expressed that he had wished to attend a local festival.

Daisy revealed that she had been in bed with her partner early one Saturday morning when there was a inexplicable bang on their bedroom door.

She said: “There was this banging on the bedroom door. I’m like ‘it can’t be the cat,’ like do they have knuckles?”

She continued: “We both heard it, and we have cameras on the landing and there was nothing. It turned out that was the day of the Phoenix Festival.”

Daisy was then brought to tears as she added: “That’s got to be him.”

Michael Sleggs died in 2019 at the age of 33 after a long battle with cancer.

“Both sides had things they wanted to talk about”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are said to be “frustrated” following reports of a peace summit with King Charles and the royal family.

Pictures said to show aides of the king and the Sussexes meeting in London were published by tabloids over the weekend. Additionally, reports claimed the recent hush-hush rendezvous was set up as both Prince Harry, 40, and his father, 76, are said to be keen to heal an alleged rift. Earlier this year, the monarch’s second son indicated he was keen to reach a detente with his family when speaking to the BBC.

However, it has subsequently been reported that Prince Harry and his wife feel let down after details concerning plans for the recent alleged secret meeting made the newspapers.

Royal ‘peace summit’ explained

Speaking in May, Prince Harry admitted: “It would be nice to reconcile.” He also seemed to acknowledge the king’s cancer battle as he noted at the time: “Life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has.”

Now, according to various reports, Prince Harry’s wish may be in the process of being granted. The Mail on Sunday published photos that are said to depict the Sussexes’ chief of communications, Meredith Maines, and the king’s communications secretary, Tobyn Andreae, last Wednesday (July 9).

They are said to have been joined at a private members’ club near Clarence House by the Sussexes’ UK PR.

However, the Mail didn’t speculate as to which side may have arranged the reported talks.

‘A long road ahead for King Charles and Prince Harry’

An unnamed source is said to have said the meet-up was only a “first step towards reconciliation”. However, it was apparently regarded as “a step in the right direction”.

The insider allegedly told The Mail on Sunday: “There’s a long road ahead, but a channel of communication is now open for the first time in years. There was no formal agenda, just casual drinks. There were things both sides wanted to talk about.”

There were things both sides wanted to talk about.

Furthermore, according to The Telegraph, sources close to Prince Harry insist the couple were not responsible for passing details of the meeting on.

They are said to have acknowledged that the claims appearing on newspaper front pages was not an ideal start. It’s said they feel “frustrated” after the meeting was caught on camera.

King Charles ‘prepared’ to meet Harry

Meanwhile, another insider believes the reported meeting could prove a “significant moment” in the Sussexes’ relationships with The Firm.

A source told The Mirror: “The king has consistently shown he loves both his sons. And, as he has done in the past, is prepared to meet Harry when their diaries allow.

“It’s not unusual for aides from different households to meet, especially when there is a new influx of staff starting, but this is a significant moment.

“If there is a period of calm and reflection on the part of the duke, then there will be a way forward for him to begin along the road of repairing his relationship with his father.”

However, a source is alleged to have poured cold water on the chances of Harry and William making up.

According to the Mirror, that is a “different matter entirely and one which he will find much harder to repair”.

Royal Insider has approached representatives for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and Buckingham Palace, for comment.

Buckingham Palace and Mr Andreae declined to comment to MailOnline. The Sussexes’ representatives did not respond to MailOnline.

She sought a third opinion after realising something wasn’t right

Sunday Brunch expert Morgan McGlynn Carr revealed last week that she had been diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer.

The star, 38, shared the “earth-shattering” news on her Instagram. However, appearing on the Channel 4 show over the weekend (July 13), Morgan choked up as she issued an update…

Sunday Brunch star Morgan McGlynn Carr shares cancer diagnosis

Taking to Instagram last week, Sunday Brunch star Morgan opened up about her cancer diagnosis.

The TV star and author, who has appeared on Sunday Brunch as the resident cheese expert since 2016, shared a picture of herself lying in a hospital bed with a cold cap on.

I got a third opinion and that decision saved my life.

“Here we go,” she captioned the post. Her post also included details of her cancer journey.

“On the eve of my daughter’s first birthday, I found a lump in my right breast. I’d recently stopped breastfeeding and assumed it was related,” she wrote.

“But my husband made me promise to go to the doctor first thing Monday – and, by pure chance it happened to be CoppaFeel! Week. My feed was full of women talking about breast cancer,” she then continued.

‘Trust your gut – always’

Morgan continued: “The GP said it was definitely breastfeeding-related. The breast clinic consultant said she was 99% sure it was nothing. I got a third opinion and that decision saved my life… Trust your gut. Always.

“After scans, biopsies, mammograms, CTs, MRIs – in October 2024, I was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer. It was nothing short of earth-shattering,” she then wrote.

“But we’ve done our best to keep life feeling normal as possible for our daughter. Treatment is different for every person. No two paths are the same. But here’s what happened to me: I was given a week before chemo to get my ducks in a row, which included chopping my hair off and IVF and egg retrieval, something I’m incredibly grateful I was able to do,” she then continued.

“Then came six months of weekly chemotherapy. The hardest thing I’ve ever done. Some weeks I sat for 13 hours at a time, and I was never alone thanks to my friends who kept me company. And those who’ve been through the cold cap you’ll known it’s no joke. I had to catch my breath and get through the hardest parts before sharing this. So why now?” she then said.

Morgan talks cancer battle

“Because if even one person sees this, and it prompts them to check a lump or get a second opinion, it could save a life. Please, trust your gut,” she urged.

She then revealed that she underwent surgery two weeks ago, and received some “very, very good news”.

“I’ve not really known how to share this. To be honest, I’m still finding my feet after everything. This year has changed me. There’s still a road to recovery to come – but I’m here, I’m healing, and I’m more grateful than I’ve been,” she then added.

Her followers flooded the comment section with support.

“I am so sorry to hear. Your incredibly brave and honest post has really moved me deeply. Sending you every good wish I can imagine. It sounds like you have a phenomenal inner strength and an army of loved ones around you,” one follower commented.

“Oh my goodness, shattering news for you to take in. So, so well done for getting through it and ALSO for sharing on here. You’re an absolute [star emoji] sending energy and positivity,” another said.

“Sending biggest hug. You are a warrior,” a third wrote.

Cancer update

Yesterday (July 13), Morgan made her return to the show alongside hosts Tim Lovejoy and Simon Rimmer.

Morgan told Tim and Simon she is now “healing” as she joyfully admitted she received some “very, very good news” following surgery last month.

“As some of you know and some of you don’t, I’m already wobbling, I am sorry,” she said, fighting back tears. “‘I got diagnosed with breast cancer last October, so we got the all clear, like a week ago.”

The rest of the show’s guests then burst into a spontaneous round of applause, making Morgan even more emotional. Host Tim then walked over and gave Morgan his support.

“‘I was just going to say, check your lumps, your bumps and trust your gut and yeah, that’s it really.” She also revealed the support she’s had during her illness: “Yes, I’ve been taken on surprise trips and I’ve had the biggest support system including you guys as well.”

‘Drop that zero and get yourself a hero’

This Morning viewers seemed to be in agreement today during a segment featuring Celebs Go Dating star Paul C Brunson.

Paul, 50, was on the show to give relationship advice to viewers who called in. However, not all of his advice went down well with viewers at home.

Paul C Brunson on This Morning today

Today’s edition of This Morning (July 14),  saw Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley welcome Paul onto the show in an agony aunt role.

The Married at First Sight star listened as a caller asked for advice about her husband, who wasn’t speaking to her. The caller explained that she has been married to her husband for 15 years. However, things began “deteriorating” seven years ago when her mother-in-law passed away. She then explained that it has “gradually got worse” to the point now where he will come home from work and go straight up to his room.

“We’re in the same house but living separate lives,” she continued. “He communicates either through my son or via text message.” She heartbreakingly added that she feels “alone and numb”, and that her husband was her “best friend”.

‘You are not responsible for his pain’

Paul responded, branding the caller’s desire for change “heartfelt”. “What I want you to know in this moment is that you are not responsible for his pain,” Paul said.

“But, you are responsible for your well-being. And that’s very important for you to know,” he then continued. He then told her that the feeling of “loneliness” is “your responsibility to correct”.

Paul explained to the caller that her son is watching her and her husband and how they interact, which is “important” for her to know.

“What I suggest you do is you write a letter to your husband, today,” he said.

“You explain to him exactly how you feel and why you feel this way, and exactly what you’d like to see in the relationship. And also acknowledge that you know that he’s going through pain. He lost his mother. So, I want you to write that letter, and in that I want you to indicate what you’d like to see in the relationship,” he then continued.

“But here’s what you must know. Please, you must know this. If he cannot deliver on what you need, you must be prepared to leave,” he then told her.

Viewers hit out

However, some viewers were not impressed with Paul’s advice, with many urging the caller to leave her her marriage straight away, rather than writing her husband a letter.

“Get your solicitor to write the letter,” one viewer tweeted.

“Write him a letter…,” another wrote, posting a gif of an angry Will Ferrell growling “Seriously?”.

“Sod the letter just…,” a third wrote, posting a gif of a cartoon character throwing another character out of a window.

“Drop that zero and get yourself a hero,” another urged the caller.

“Bin him. You deserve so much more,” fifth wrote.

‘I am here with the children showing them the property for the first time’

Laura Hamilton had her fans rallying around with support after she announced her exciting new property venture.

The presenter shot to fame when she joined Channel 4’s A Place In The Sun back in 2012. Away from TV shows though, Laura is keen on renovating properties and in August 2024, she bagged a holiday home in Majorca.

And now, mum-of-two Laura has told fans her latest property news – and she’s over the moon.

Laura Hamilton reveals major property news

On Monday (July 14), Laura took to her Instagram and shared her exciting news. Posing on a balcony in Dubai, the blonde beauty looked stunning in a low-cut black swimsuit.

She said: “I have some news and this is something I have been wanting to share with you for some time with you but it just hasn’t felt quite right. As many of you know this time last year I bought a property in Majorca and it was a renovation project because that’s exactly what I love.

“However, things have taken a lot longer, when you’re renovating a property you’re waiting for various licences, permits and it is a slow process. The project is still very much underway it’s just taking a lot longer than I anticipated.”

Laura’s new Dubai home

Laura then revealed she has been visiting Dubai in the past 12 months, and it has seriously impressed her.

“You might have seen that from my Stories and posts that I have been doing. I have been coming to Dubai for many years and when you do the job that I do you love exploring the world.”

She went on to share that she’s “seriously looking at the property market here [Dubai]”, and has been speaking to different developers and experts.

Sharing her big news, Laura announced: “A couple of months ago I purchased my very own property here in Dubai, in Dubai Marina. I am here this week with the children showing them the property for the first time.”

The Channel 4 star also shared that the property is four years old and she will be able to put her own “stamp” on it.

Fans congratulate Laura

Laura captioned the video: “I’ve been wanting to share this for the past three months…and now feels like the right time to finally share it.

“It’s a move that’s all about property, potential, and thinking internationally. A new investment in a place known for its sunshine, skyline, and serious opportunity.”

It didn’t take Laura’s fans long to congratulate her on the property news.

“Congratulations, Laura! What a wonderful new adventure. We can’t wait to watch you renovate throughout,” said one person. Someone else added: “Congratulations you look amazing.”

A third chimed in: “Congratulations Laura! I spent many years in Dubai and The Marina is a beautiful area. I hope you enjoy it!”

Kit was bleeding out

Kit Green was stabbed by villain Mick Michaelis this evening in Coronation Street (Monday, July 14) and was then rushed to hospital.

Kit had been confronting Mick on the balcony of Underworld before Mick grabbed a sharp object from out of his pocket and stabbed him.

The end of the episode then saw Bernie and Sarah watching Kit be taken to recus at the hospital.

Coronation Street: Kit was stabbed by Mick

Tonight, Mick Michaelis broke out of prison. He was planning on meeting Brody and the girls and going on the run.

However, oblivious Sally took Joanie to her taster day at Weatherfield High and threw a spanner in the works.

Kit and Bernie realised that Brody had taken Shanice out of school and had also packed some bags, realising that he’d been planning on meeting Mick.

Seeing Sally on the factory roof, Kit called for back-up and headed inside Underworld to confront him.

On the factory balcony, Kit Green then tried to tackle Mick and told him that Brody had him to look out for him now. He was his biological father.

Mick couldn’t accept this and stabbed Kit, with Kit then being taken to hospital for life-saving surgery…

Here’s whether Jacob Roberts could be leaving Coronation Street

Next week’s Coronation Street spoilers reveal that Kit is taken in for life-saving surgery as Bernie and Gemma sit by his hospital bedside.

Bernie also fears for Brody as she’s yet to hear from him since the other night.

But, could Kit die at the hospital as a result of Mick’s stabbing? Will another name be added to Mick’s kill list?

Well, there has been no official confirmation that actor Jacob Roberts is due to leave the role of DC Kit Green, and the actor is not currently known to be working on any other projects which means it is likely that Kit will live to see another day.

But, this is soapland after all, so we shouldn’t breathe a sigh of relief just yet.
