Singer Jessie J has announced she has been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer.

The Price Tag hitmaker, who used to be a judge on The Voice UK, found out about her diagnosis shortly before dropping her single, No Secrets, in April. It was her first release in four years. She also recently performed at the TV BAFTAs.

During her time away, Jessie, 37, welcomed her first child, son Sky, with boyfriend Chanan Safir Colman in 2023.

Jessie J reveals she has breast cancer

In an Instagram video shared during the early hours of Wednesday (June 4), the Grammy Award-nominated star admitted she had been “going back and forth a little bit on whether to share” the news with fans.

“I want to but there’s lots of opinions outside,” Jessie said, adding: “Also knowing that I want to share with my fans and the people that care about me, also I’m a sharer. I’ve always shared everything that I go through in my life.”

Jessie explained she was “diagnosed with early breast cancer” when No Secrets was released, stating: “Cancer sucks in any form but I’m holding onto the word early.”

She continued: “I have been in and out of tests throughout this whole period,” sharing that she had not been “processing it because I’m working so hard”.

Describing herself as an “open book”, Jessie admitted it “breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much, similar and worse”, adding: “That’s the bit that kills me.”

“I just wanted to let you guys know it wasn’t something I planned. I’m getting to keep my nipples. That’s good, it’s a weird topic and a weird situation.”

It’s a very dramatic way to get a boob job.

Next Sunday (June 15), Jessie will perform at Wembley Stadium for the Capital FM Summertime Ball. Following her performance, she revealed she will “disappear” to have surgery.

“It’s a very dramatic way to get a boob job,” she said, joking that she will return with “massive [bleep]s and more music”.

“Your girl needs a hug. Also not getting massive [bleep]s. Or am I? No no.. I must stop joking?” Jessie wrote in her caption.

‘I’m praying for you’

Jessie’s showbiz pals rushed to the comments section following the news and shared their support.

“Sending you so much love,” Little Mix star Leigh-Anne Pinnock wrote.

“Sending all the love J,” Leona Lewis added.

“We love you so much,” Rochelle Humes expressed.

“Sending you so much love and enormous hugs,” Gaby Roslin shared.

“You’re literally my favourite person and I’m praying for you you’ve got this. my mother had it and I know the surgery and any treatment on this matter is mentally tough so I’m here for you. X,” Rita Ora said.

Lorraine presenter Tyler West discussed Brooklyn Beckham’s recent interview with Glamour on ITV this morning

Tyler West has shared the real reason he believes Brooklyn Beckham didn’t address the mounting tension between his family and wife Nicola Peltz in the couple’s recent interview for Glamour magazine. The Lorraine presenter pointed out that it was “understandable” there was no mention of the rift, saying: “I mean no mention of the parents at all because it’s an interview about them.”

This comes after Brooklyn’s recent pointed comments that he will “always choose” his wife as he has reportedly hired Prince Harry’s lawyers amid a huge fallout with his parents, David and Victoria Beckham. Brooklyn, 26, and actress Nicola, 30, caused a furore during their recent joint interview, where they addressed their life in the spotlight amid the family drama.

But many noted that despite cryptic references to “telling the truth” and their “overwhelming wedding day”, there was a glaring omission of any mention of Brooklyn’s famous parents.

After Tyler’s explanation of this choice on Lorraine, his co-host Rose also pointed out that the interview was conducted before tensions seemed to erupt more publicly.

Ranvir Singh chimed in after Tyler pointed out that Brooklyn said the name for his hot sauce brand, which was originally thought to be a tribute to David’s iconic No. 23 shirt, represents his engagement date and wife’s age at the time. She joked: “Awkward pivot!”

Rumours of a rift between the Beckhams and their eldest son have circulated since tensions were allegedly sparked over a wedding dress dispute, when Nicola chose a $3 million Valentino gown over a Victoria Beckham design for their Florida wedding in 2022. The actress claimed this is because she was “ghosted” by the former Spice girl when she asked her to design the dress.

Now, sources claim Brooklyn and Nicola have cut contact altogether with his family, although someone close to the couple has denied this to the Mirror, saying the distance came from David and Victoria’s end.

The insider said: “if anything, David and Victoria seem to have wanted the distancing since Nicola has made plenty of positive gestures like wearing Victoria’s clothes over the years, but somehow she and Brooklyn get all the criticism in the relationship.

“It’s understandable that there would be some natural distancing after years and years of being on the receiving end of unnecessary attacks and untruths.”

The couple’s absence from David’s star-studded 50th birthday party last month fuelled rumours of a serious divide. Brooklyn went on to post a photo of him with Nicola on a motorbike with the cryptic caption “I’ll always choose you baby”, which some have interpreted as a comment on the family situation.

Some followers criticised him for the post, saying: “Real love doesn’t make you choose.” Meanwhile, his younger brother Cruz appeared to respond by sharing a throwback family photo with Brooklyn included, writing: “I love my family, I love you guys more than anything, mum & dad, you gave us life and cared for us no matter what.”

Prince Harry’s feud with his father King Charles has gone from bad to worse following Harry’s extraordinary outburst in a BBC interview – and now palace insiders have revealed one of the reasons why the monarch is unlikely to make first move in repairing their rift

Palace insiders have revealed one of the key factors that could be stopping King Charles from making the first move in reconciling with estranged son Prince Harry. The feud between father and son is believed to have gone from bad to worse in recent weeks after Harry gave an explosive interview to the BBC after losing another court battle over his security arrangements in the UK.

In that interview, he confirmed that things had got so bad between him and his father, that the King, who is still having cancer treatment, will not speak to him and he does not know “how much longer my father has” left. It comes after Harry railed against his family in his memoir Spare, where he criticised his father, branded his stepmother Queen Camilla dangerous and claimed older brother Prince William physically attacked him.

Some have suggested that if father and son are to get their relationship back on track, it should be the King to reach out and make the first move. However, a palace insider has told PEOPLE magazine one of the reasons why this has not been the case so far – and they claimed it is because those around the King have not “encouraged reconciliation”.

According to the publication, William has shown “no interest” in repairing the rift, Camilla “stays out of it” while even the King’s most personal aide, private secretary Sir Clive Alderton is “unlikely to push for a personal outreach”.

Respected royal correspondent and author Valentine Low told PEOPLE of Charles: “There is not a good angel in his ear to say, ‘Be a good dad and make the first move’.” Talking about Harry’s bombshell BBC interview, he added: “It wasn’t meant to be an attack, but it would be seen as one. It makes Charles reach out even harder.”

In his bombshell interview after losing his security case at the Court of Appeal, Harry admitted: “Of course, some members of my family will never forgive me for writing a book. Of course, they will never forgive me for lots of things.”

And speaking previously to the Mirror, editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine Ingrid Seward, said any apology from Harry for his actions in the past will be a long time coming, despite his plea for reconciliation.

She said: “By now Charles is used to Harry’s disloyalty and contradictions. But what he will not be prepared to put up with is his youngest son’s stubborn conviction that he is always right. Harry’s ego is so fragile he thinks the world is against him. He refuses to take responsibility for his actions. If he wants reconciliation, why does he still attack his family?

“If he did say sorry to his father and those he has hurt, he would be admitting he was wrong. Harry has such a weak sense of self he appears incapable of doing this. Harry’s stubbornness will almost certainly prevent him from bringing his wife and children to the UK. At least in the immediate future.

“He said he realised he had upset the ‘family’ but never once offered to apologise. The King knows this. But he also understands that under Harry’s accusatory exterior, he is extremely vulnerable.”

As King, Charles needs total trust. He is head of state and monarch and that has to come first as Charles vowed at his Coronation. He will be very sad it has come to this. But if he can’t trust Harry, he has to avoid him until such time things change. If they ever do.”

In a surprise bonus episode of her podcast with Beyonce’s mum Tina Knowles, Meghan Markle spoke about the difficulties of building her As Ever business and admitted she has paused restocking her sell-out items

Meghan Markle has admitted she’s decided to “just pause” restocking her As Ever products – despite them selling out in just 45 minutes. The Duchess of Sussex says she wants to wait until it is “completely stable and we have everything we need” before putting more of her jams, herbal teas and flower sprinkles back on sale.

Her admission came during a bonus episode of her podcast Confessions of a Female Founder, which features a chat with Beyonce’s mum Tina Knowles. During the podcast, Meghan spoke about the April launch of her As Ever products including jam and herbal tea and how “scarcity mentality at the beginning might be a hook for people”, comparing it to “a sneaker drop”.

But she added she feared it might be ‘annoying’ for customers, adding: “I don’t want you to eat that jam once every six months. I want that to be on your shelf all the time.” She added: “So for me at the moment, with As Ever, it was great. We planned for a year we get and then everything sells out in 45 minutes.

“Yes, amazing, great news. Then what do you do? And then you say ‘Ok, we planned as best as we could. Are we going to replenish and sell out again in an hour? Or is that annoying as a customer? I’m looking at it saying ‘Just pause. That happened. Let’s wait until we are completely stable and we have everything we need’.”

She added how people “see all the flashy stuff and they see the product. But that end game… those behind the scenes moments, how many tears I’ve shed”.

Elsewhere in the chat, Meghan also expressed her dream of launching a future business with daughter Princess Lilibet, after talking to Knowles about the Cecred haircare line she started with Beyonce.

“I wonder if one day I’ll be in business with Lili and we’ll be building something,” the duchess said, with Knowles adding: “That’s the best.”

Knowles chatted to Meghan about how pop superstar Beyonce could have been a hairdresser after growing up watching her mother work in a salon.

The pair discussed the singer using wigs on stage, with Meghan revealing she was advised by other actresses to start wearing them while working on Suits but she chose not to do so.

Knowles said: “She’s on a stage with hot lights and she wears wigs a lot, and she’s managed to keep her hair beautiful and healthy and that’s not an easy task when you’re in showbiz.”

Meghan replied: “That is a testament. I mean, even on Suits, I was on Suits for seven years, and I remember so many other actresses, especially if you’re in that grind, they said ‘You are going to fry your hair’, and everyone was recommending that I should start wearing wigs. “I never ended up doing it. By the way, if I was in that industry longer, I understand why you need to protect your hair in that way.”

The pair also discussed mutual friend Hollywood mogul Tyler Perry, who gave the Sussexes use of his LA home as a base when they first moved to the US in 2020, with Knowles saying: “Tyler talks about you all… He loves you.” Meghan described him as “the most extraordinary soundboard”.

The duchess said she “loved seeing Yvette there” – seemingly referring to Beyonce’s publicist Yvette Noel-Schure – and said: “I wrote her a letter after I went to B’s concert a couple of years ago. She said the kindest things and I just wanted her to know how much it meant to me.”

The podcast was recorded before Harry and Meghan had a night out at Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter tour, with Knowles describing how the star was “on fire” and telling Meghan ‘Y’all gotta come”.

Meghan, who said she had been trying to decide which date to attend, replied: “Oh my gosh. I can’t wait.” Last month, the duchess shared pictures of herself and Harry at one of the shows in LA, writing on Instagram : “About last night… Thank you @beyonce and team for an amazing concert (and a very fun date night)! All love.”

Meghan first publicly met Beyonce and her husband Jay-Z in London at the premiere of Disney’s 2019 remake of The Lion King, which featured the singer’s music and her voice as the character Nala.

In the Sussexes’ Netflix documentary, Meghan was shown reading a message from Beyonce which praised the duchess’s “bravery and vulnerability” and told her she “was selected to break generational curses that need to be healed”.

EastEnders actress Clair Norris, who plays Bernie Taylor in the soap, has broken her silence after it was revealed she’d been axed by the BBC soap

Actress Clair Norris, who plays Bernie Taylor in EastEnders, has spoken out weeks after it was revealed she had been axed from the BBC soap after eight years.

Clair, 27, joined her fellow castmates at this weekend’s British Soap Awards, in which the soap won an incredible 8 awards. It included wins for Best British Soap, Best Single Episode and Scene of the Year for Angie Watts’ surprise return.

The cast and crew were out in full force celebrating, as Clair addressed her exit for the first time in a post from the night – calling it an “amazing end”.

Taking to her Instagram to post a picture of herself all glammed up in a teal dress on the night, Clair penned: “My last @thebritishsoapawards with my EE family. We [broom emoji] up last night, 8 awards & I couldn’t be prouder to be apart of this team! What a way to end this amazing journey, head held high & beaming from ear to ear.”

Clair was supported by both fans as colleagues in her post, with James Farrar, who plays Zack Hudson writing: “Head held HIGH,” along with a number of red heart emojis.

Emma Barton who plays Honey Mitchell echoed: “Love you,” as Elijah Holloway who plays Harry Mitchell gushed: “We looked lovely didn’t we.”

Clair also posted pictures with co-star Matthew James Morrison, who has also been axed from the soap after playing the role of Felix Baker since 2022.

Bernie arrived in Walford in 2017 alongside mum Karen Taylor (Lorraine Stanley) and brother Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters). However, she’s the last one of her family members left on the Square with her mum Karen leaving EastEnders in 2023, shortly followed by the murder of her brother Keanu on Christmas Day.

According to The Sun, Bernie’s exit storyline didn’t come as a surprise to star Clair. A source told the publication: “Every time a soap gets a new boss they want to make their own changes – it’s nothing personal.

“The writing has been on the wall for Bernie for some time so it wasn’t really a surprise to Clair.”

“She was the last Taylor standing and it’s time to close the chapter on them and let Clair go on to do other things.”

Code of Silence has come to a climatic ending on ITV1, with the police – and Alison – doing everything they could to catch the bag guys, aka Cruella, Hulk, and Wolf. But did they manage to in the series finale?

Viewers will know that Alison’s lipreading skills proved crucial for the detectives investigating a criminal gang’s plans to target a London vault. But dissatisfied with her life, and always feeling underestimated, she quickly became WAY too involved… Honestly, it was like watching a car crash happening in slow motion.

Here’s everything you need to know about the series finale of ITV thriller Code of Silence in our ending explained, as well as news on a possible series 2…

Code of Silence ending explained

After the penultimate episode’s twist (although most of us saw it coming), Liam and Braden were both on the run from the police – and each other. Liam had double-crossed the gang and stolen the jewels, while Braden just had a whole lot of rage.

At the beginning of the final episode, poor DC Ben Lawford was fighting for his life in hospital after being shot (he later recovered), and the police force were wiping the egg from their faces after the huge cock-up. Not only had they lost the jewels, and perps Liam and Braden, they also had nothing to pin on Joseph and Helen.

With Braden on the loose, the police moved Alison and her mum to a secure location. But, not one to see sense, she didn’t stay there for long! Liam (Kieron Moore in the Code of Silence cast) managed to sneak a burner phone into the flat hidden under some takeaway food containers. A message on the phone asked her to meet Liam “same place as last time”…

Alison had already inserted herself into the case way more than was sensible. She’d slept with one of the suspects, and was basically responsible for Ben being shot.

As Ben’s girlfriend stated: “If you’d just done what you were told, and waited outside, Ben wouldn’t have had to go in. He would have waited for armed response. He wouldn’t be in hospital.”

As if that wasn’t enough damage, Alison’s relationship with Liam had undermined ALL the evidence she’d gathered. So did Alison do as she was told and stay with her mum in the secure location? Of course she didn’t!

Episode six recap: Why did Liam do it?

During the final episode of Code of Silence, DI James Marsh discovered what we’d suspected all along – that Liam Barlow was the foster son of murdered Charlie Fletcher.

DI Marsh requested the fostering records for Manchester, and discovered Liam’s real identity – Liam Grey. Charlie Fletcher was the foster dad that Liam had adored… Until he was killed by Helen’s husband Alfie Redman.

Of course, the canny copper realised “none of this is a coincidence”. Nope. Liam stole the necklace and set Braden up as revenge against the gang who had killed his foster dad during one of their previous raids.

Braden had told Liam that no one would get hurt. Although it was a promise he couldn’t keep, when one security guard was killed.

Liam later told Alison: “Money is the only thing that Helen and Braden care about. That was the only way to hurt them.”

What happened to Braden at the end of ITVX thriller?

Braden realised he’d been properly thrown under the bus by Liam. Talking to Danny’s girlfriend, he said: “It was the kid. Liam Barlow. He convinced me we were going to stitch up the police, but it was me that got played.

“Your Danny recommended him, but someone informed on Danny for that ransom wear gig. It opened a vacancy for some slippery little Mancunian [bleep] to step into.”

Although, at this point, he didn’t realise WHY Liam had done it, he was intent on getting the jewels back – and revenge. After Alison met Liam, she visited The Canterbury Tap in a bid to persuade the landlord to testify against Braden. By this point, Alison’s stupidity knew no bounds!

Of course, Braden was there waiting for her. He abducted her, and recorded her in distress – a message he sent to Liam. He would release Alison in exchange for the necklace, or so he said.

Liam agreed to meet with the gang, led by Helen. She took him to a warehouse where Braden had a gun to Alison’s head. Liam had no choice but to hand over the necklace in exchange for Alison’s freedom. However, he had one more card to play…

Did the gang get caught?

At first, it looked like Helen and Joseph were untouchable. They made sure they were on CCTV cameras far away from the robbery. They’d covered every angle; every loose end was tied up.

When questioned by the police, they both read statements, insisting they were property developers, and did not work with Braden. The police did not have enough to charge them.

That is, until the climactic Code of Silence ending. In the closing minutes of the ITV thriller, armed police arrested Helen, Braden, and Liam. Police arrested Braden for murder, armed robbery, and attempted murder.

They were finally able to nail Helen, after “getting her admission on tape”. Meanwhile, Liam had given up his own chance of freedom to save Alison, and catch the gang.

Later, we learnt that police had arrested Joseph for money laundering.

Did Liam and Alison stay together?

Although their relationship began under false pretences – Alison was using Liam for intel, and he was using her as a cover – the pair did develop genuine feelings for each other.

Before he was caught, Liam wanted to sell the necklace for £5m to a buyer in Panama, and run away with Alison. However, Alison wanted him to testify against the gang.

At the end of Code of Silence, he did the right thing. He gave himself up for Alison, thus proving his genuine feelings for her.

Two months later, we saw Liam standing trial in the dock. He seemed at peace with his fate, knowing he’d got justice for his foster dad.

He communicated to Alison using British Sign Language, asking her to visit him, and she signalled that she would. The implication is clear – she’ll wait for him, and he would continue to learn BSL for her.

Liam is charged with conspiracy to rob, and pleads guilty. Viewers did not learn his fate after that.

Despite Liam’s inevitable spell in jail, Alison got a happy ending. She moved into a new flat with her mum Julie, and got a big lump sum of money from the police for her work as an informant.

DI James Marsh told her: “Payments to informants are based on results. And, thanks to you, we made some pretty big arrests. It was your information that led to the recovery of the necklace.”

He handed her a cheque for a whooping £50,000. DI Marsh also suggested she use some of it to enrol in a forensic expert lipreading course. Does this point to an incoming series 2 of Code of Silence?

Is there a Code of Silence series 2?

ITV has not yet confirmed if there’ll be a series 2 of Code of Silence, but there’s plenty of potential for more episodes.

We didn’t learn Liam’s fate at the end of the series, and it looked like Alison would be embarking on a forensic expert lipreading course. Although, if we’re honest, we’re really not sure she’s cut out for the job!

If a series 2 is commissioned, the news will probably come after the entire series has aired on ITV1. This is similar to This City is Ours, Rivals, and Ludwig, who all announced a second series AFTER all the episodes had aired.

To be honest, it makes more sense that way. Who else felt a bit robbed of tension when Sky Atlantic confirmed a series 2 of Day of the Jackal before series 1 had ended? Kind of ruins the drama of the first series if you know the main character survives for another season!

Watch this space for more news about Code of Silence series 2 when we get it.

Curtis Pritchard and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu have ended their romance just months after meeting on Love Island: All Stars – with the majority of the couples who reached the final no longer together

Curtis Pritchard and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu split as Love Island: All Stars curse continues(Image: ITV)

The “real reason” Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Curtis Pritchard called time on their romance has been revealed. The Turkish actress announced her split from Curtis last week, just a short while after the duo sizzled on Love Island: All Stars.

The rumour mill went into overdrive as the pair hadn’t been seen together on social media, leading to Ekin-Su confirming the whispers that they were parting ways to focus on “focusing on navigating this transition”.

In a heartfelt statement, Ekin-Su expressed their mutual decision to “go [their] separate ways”, describing it as a “tough decision” without disclosing the reasons behind their separation. Curtis confirmed the break-up with his own post shortly after Ekin-Su’s announcement.

It’s now been revealed just why the former couple parted ways. “They weren’t arguing all the time – it just fizzled out. They re not on bad terms and they respect each other, but the spark had gone,” a source claims. “They know they can’t give each other what they need right now – it’s sad, but it’s also very grown-up of them.”

However, the source adds to Heat! magazine that “Curtis would’ve tried to make it work” but Ekin-Su “checks out so easily”. They claim the 2022 Love Island winner “mentally moved on weeks before the end” as Curtis was “trying to plan things together”. The professional dancer apparently saw Ekin-Su distancing herself as “a red flag”. The Mirror has approached both stars for comment.

In a heartfelt statement announcing their split last week, Ekin-Su wrote: “I wanted to share that Curtis and I have decided to go our separate ways. It’s been a really tough decision, but one made with a lot of love and respect for one another.”

She continued, “He’s an incredible person and I’ll always cherish the memories we made both in and out of the villa. Thank you all so much for the love and support over the past few months. We’re both focusing on navigating this transition and would really appreciate privacy during this time. Love always, Ekin-Su xX.”

This revelation follows last week’s buzz when Curtis was spotted flying solo at the star-studded Market Place St. Paul’s VIP launch party, and Ekin-Su conspicuously omitted any mention of Curtis when probed about her romantic life in a recent interview.

Speaking previously about her views on romance, she shared: “Love, for me, is a deep bond, trust and being able to be completely yourself with someone… Love enables both individual development and growth together. I find peaceful, safe and unexpected love valuable. This is exactly the definition of love for me.”

The news of Ekin-Su’s break-up with Curtis follows hot on the heels of Love Island champions Casey O’Gorman and Gabby Allen calling time on their relationship. Releasing a joint statement, they announced: “After much thoughtful consideration, Gabby and Casey have decided to go their separate ways romantically. This decision was mutual, and they both remain on good terms as friends with a shared respect for each other.”

With the dust settling from the show, only two couples from the final, Grace Jackson and Luca Bish, along with Elma Pazar and Sammy Root, are still thought to be an item three months after the finale aired.

Meanwhile, Omar Nyame and Catherine Agbaje have parted ways shortly after leaving the sun-soaked locale of the South African villa, with insiders suggesting that they never made it to becoming an official couple and that their love story had naturally come to an end.

Actress Deborra-Lee Furness filed for divorce from estranged husband Hugh Jackman last month and now she has reportedly set her sights on an explosive tell-all

Deborra-Lee Furness is reportedly eyeing up a no-holds-barred book that would spill all about her split from actor Hugh Jackman. The actress, 69, announced her separation from Hugh, 56, in September 2023 after almost three decades together.

They had built a picture-perfect life, with homes worldwide. However, last month, Deborra officially filed the divorce proceedings in a New York courthouse.

Deborra appeared to hit out at Hugh as the divorce was submitted. She said that her “heart and compassion” lay with people who had endured a “traumatic journey of betrayal.” She said she believed that a higher power was working for her.

“This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage,” she said. “It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values, and boundaries is liberation and freedom.”

Now, it seems she is ready to reveal more about the painful split as Hugh has moved on with actress Sutton Foster. She has reportedly been writing down her emotional journey with plans to release a memoir once the divorce is finalised.

“Deb’s been desperate to have her side of the story out there,” a source told New Idea. “She’s been writing down all her thoughts, the good and the bad, and logging every detail of this ugly roller-coaster divorce. As soon as her lawyers allow it, she will be talking to publishers about a deal.”

Deborra told the Daily Mail that everybody is on their own “journey” and while she may have been left hurt by her estranged husbands actions, relationships are not “random.”

“We are drawn to people, we invite them in, in order to learn our lessons and to recognise and heal the broken parts of ourselves.. I remain grateful.”

Announcing their split in 2023, the couple said: “We have been blessed to share almost 3 decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.

“Our family has been and always will be our highest priority. We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness. We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition in all of our lives.”

A source has claimed there will be “no drama” between the pair once their marriage is officially dissolved. “A settlement was reached that Deborra is pleased with which includes a handsome spousal support payment,” a source said.

They went on to tell the Daily Mail : “There was some back and forth regarding this financial agreement but, in the end, she got what she believed she deserved.

“Both are coming out of this financially secure. There is not going to be any drama with this gives closure that she needed.”

The Mirror has contacted Deborra’s representative for comment.

Best pals and mums of five, Kerry Katona and Katie Price, are reportedly hoping to become pregnant together after sharing their desire to have a sixth child

Mums of five, Kerry Katona and Katie Price, have made a “pact” to become pregnant together, according to reports. The best pals have both expressed their desire for another child, with Kerry telling her followers: “I know I’m 44, but I think I want another baby”.

Katie, 46, who was pregnant with Kerry in 2007 with their respective daughters, Princess and Heidi, has also said she would like to become a mum again and now it’s been reported that the women are determined to welcome a sixth child into the world, which they allegedly believe “would make a great reality show”.

Speaking about their family plans, a source told Closer magazine: “Both Katie and Kerry have said they want another child so they’ve made a pact to be pregnant together, saying it would make a great reality show. Both want to show they are not getting old and see babies as the ultimate age-defying statement.”

However, when contacted by the Mirror, Kerry’s rep said: “Kerry has no plans to have another baby. Kerry and Katie have not made a baby pact and haven’t even discussed the possibility of it. The story is completely false.”

Kerry, who has been single since November when she split with personal trainer, Ryan Mahony, took to Instagram recently, saying: “I know I’m 44, but I want another baby. Don’t have a fella – but done it all before. Why change now?”

In response to her post, many of the star’s fans told her she should now focus on herself and think carefully about making such a huge decision as one replied: “NO you don’t” while another added: “You’re blessed with the children you have. Plus they’re all growing up and you’re glowing up.”

Also uncertain whether the former face of Iceland has really thought about the practicalities of having a another baby, the source said: “Pals think Kerry is in love with the idea of having another baby, not the practicality of actually becoming a mum. They think she should wait for a grandchild.

“But Kerry says before anything else she’s a mother, it’s her greatest achievement by far and she could give a child so much more stability now.”

Katie, meanwhile, has been very vocal about having another baby and has explored both IVF and egg donation as a result.

Speaking to Paul C Brunson on his We Need To Talk podcast, the mum-of-five revealed that she bought donor eggs last year before meeting current boyfriend JJ Slater 32.

Opening up about her plans, Katie revealed she was optimistic about the future despite being unsuccessful with IVF, sharing: “I had IVF and it failed because basically my eggs are too old.

“I gave it a go even though the doctors said you’ve got a 1 percent chance of that working, but I just said I might be that 1%. I’m doing it! I went through all of it and it didn’t work.

“So I have got donor eggs, I got them last year. You don’t see the picture but they go on how I look, like the dark hair, the green eyes, Spanish… because I’ve got like Italian/Spanish in me.”

Saying she was happy to have a baby on her own before she met JJ, she also said she’d found a black sperm donor in the US, revealing: “And then because I’m not afraid to have a baby on my own, before I met JJ I was quite happy. I found a sperm donor from America, from black origin.”

The Mirror has contacted Katie’s reps for comment on this story.

Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz have once again snubbed his famous family in yet another blow, just days after admitting he would ‘always choose’ his wife

Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz have once again snubbed his family. This comes after the couple gave an insight into their marriage, which is said to have caused tension amongst his relatives.

It’s believed that wannabe chef Brooklyn, 26, is currently embroiled in a feud with his family, including dad David and mum Victoria. The alleged feud is believed to have started when Brooklyn was marrying Nicola, 30, three years ago, when his fashion designer mum pulled out of designing the wedding dress.

Last month, he also failed to attend any of his dad’s 50th birthday celebrations, despite posting on social media that he was in London. However, it’s believed that Brooklyn had asked his parents for a private meeting to mark the occasion, but they did not agree to this.

Despite not posting on social media for David’s birthday, over the weekend, Brooklyn shared a sweet message for his brother-in-law, Will Peltz. Now, he’s opened up and appeared to reference an ongoing rift. He said: “There will always be people who talk. The important thing is that we’re happy together,” he said.

Speaking to Germany’s Glamour Magazine, he added that his top tip for being in love was “always be honest.” While his own parents were not directly mentioned, Nicola gushed over her parents, Nelson Peltz and Claudia Heggner Peltz. She told the outlet: “My parents taught me: Always tell the truth, we’ll help you. I still carry this attitude of being open and honest deep in my heart today. You never regret it. On the contrary: True closeness only comes from genuine connection, that is, when you have the courage to be honest.”

Brooklyn also disclosed that he got a touching tattoo tribute for his mother-in-law, rosary beads on his hands. Since the interview was published, neither Brooklyn’s parents nor his brothers, Romeo and Cruz, have acknowledged the comments in what appears to be a deafening silence.

Meanwhile, Spice Girls icon Victoria is believed to be “struggling” with the ongoing rift as her firstborn is “always going to be her baby.” A source told us: “He’s her first-born and they’ve always had a wonderful relationship, she feels like Nicola has taken over and it’s really tough to deal with as a mother.

Meanwhile, David is believed to have told his wife that Brooklyn’s behaviour is “unacceptable.” The source went on to add: “She’s very family-oriented, so it’s a worry that Brooklyn and Nicola will start their own family and Victoria won’t have contact with her first grandchild – it’s a devastating thought.”

Friends of the family have claimed that Nicola is orchestrating her husband’s social media posts, which also included snubbing his grandfather’s birthday, but also posted a picture of him sipping on a pint just miles away from the Beckham family home in West London.

“She is creating conflict where there is none and divides are springing up left, right and centre,” a source told the Mirror about Nicola. However, a source close to the socialite and Brooklyn has furiously dismissed claims that she is “controlling” him and isolating him from his family.

They told us: “She is not isolating him at all. He is free to do what he wants and he loves his wife and they are happy together. They are each other’s family.” They added that Brooklyn’s post insisting he would “always choose” Nicola had been taken out of context. They added: “It’s a real shame that what Brooklyn did, which was a statement of love for his wife, is being portrayed as something that it’s not.

“He loves his wife and everyone should be proud: his parents, his family friends. He stands by his wife and tha’ss a normal thing to be a loving and supportive husband.”

A spokesperson for Nicola and Brooklyn Peltz-Beckham has been approached by the Mirror.
