    Katie Price’s bad luck continues

    It’s fair to say Katie Price isn’t having a good week. She endured bushtucker trial after bushtucker trial in I’m A Celebrity, despite begging the public to give her a break, until it finally got too much and she quit. Katie Price in Australia (Rex)

    During her time in the jungle, Katie endured being showered with 60,000 cockroaches, she burrowed through a tunnel filled with bugs, and attempted to eat a kangaroo anus and testicles, among other horrors. Faced with her seventh consecutive bushtucker trial, Katie gave up and left the jungle for the luxury of the nearby Versace Hotel.

    But there were more dramas to come – in her live TV interview with Ant and Dec the following day, Katie announced she was no longer dating Alex Reid. “I've done a lot of reflecting,” she said. “I think it's best I'm on my own, I just don't want to be in a relationship. I hope we can remain friends.”

    Katie admitted that memories from her first jungle visit in 2004, when she first met Peter Andre, may have contributed to her decision. "The whole place reminded me of Pete from the moment I woke up, the afternoon to the moment I went to sleep, every second it was Pete, Pete, Pete.”

    And now a report in The Mirror states that Katie's £30 million business empire isn’t growing at the expected rate. According to the newspaper, the model’s new children’s book range is selling poorly, with one book, Mermaids and Pirates: All Around, only selling 19 copies! The figures, from Neilsen Bookscan ratings, also reveal that the latest series of Perfect Ponies books has sold under 1,000 copies, compared with 26,000 for the series debut in 2007. Katie’s bed linen range is no longer being stocked in some stores, and her lingerie range for Asda is reportedly "under review”.

    If eating worms and burrowing through cockroaches isn’t going to endear Katie to the British public, what will?

    Ali Bastian gets festive with dance partner

    The Bill actress Ali Bastian still hasn’t confirmed she is dating her Strictly Come Dancing partner Brian Fortuna, but the two are spending an awful lot of time together, both on and off the dancefloor.Brian Fortuna and Ali Bastian

    Despite spending all week together practicing their moves, the cute couple found time to step out together at the Magic Bing Dome in Covent Garden, to celebrate the launch of Bing, the new search engine from Microsoft. They got into the festive spirit, scoffing mince pies and searching for the best gift deals online and ideas for what to cook this Christmas.

    Ali is one of the favourites to waltz off with the Strictly Come Dancing crown (along with Ricky Whittle) so it’s unlikely this dancing duo will be separated any time soon.

    Katie Price back on I’m A Celebrity?

    Katie Price is rumoured to be making a return to the TV show where she met Peter Andre

    The Mirror reports that the glamour model has been offered almost half a million pounds to return to the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here jungle. When Katie first appeared on the show in 2004, she met and fell in love with Peter Andre. The pair went on to get married and have two children together, but have recently divorced.

    It has been said that Katie is trying to win back credibility from the public, after the messy ordeal with Andre. However, if Katie is in the jungle this time, she won’t be looking for love due to her relationship with cross-dressing cage-fighter, Alex Reid.  

    The popular ITV show sees celebrities compete against each other in the Australian jungle, and includes bushtucker trials such as eating insects and kangaroo testicles. The new series begins on Sunday November 15 on ITV1.

    Kym Marsh is the Celeb Mum of the Year

    Kym Marsh, PA PhotosThe Celebrity Mum of the Year was announced today, and the lucky winner was Coronation Street actress, Kym Marsh.

    The mum-of-two was up against the likes of Katie Price, Holly Willoughby and Samantha Cameron, but she beat them all to the prestigious title. On receiving her award, she said: "It is a real honour to get this award. It is nice to know I have got a lot of support out there – it has been a really difficult year. I have been a single parent in the past and I have had struggles, so hopefully people still think I have done the best by my children.”

    Kym tragically lost her baby boy Archie (who was fathered by Hollyoaks actor, Jamie Lomas) earlier this year, when he was born 18 weeks early. She already has two children from a previous relationship; David, 14 and Emily, 11.

    The 33-year-old also used today to announce her reconciliation with her ex-boyfriend, Jamie Lomas. The couple split recently, following the unfortunate loss of their son, but now they are back together. Things are looking up for Kym!

    Coleen and Wayne have baby boy

    It has been reported by The Sun that Coleen went into labour earlier today, and gave birth to a boy at 2:20pm. A spokesman for the couple has said: "Mother and baby are both absolutely fine. Wayne and Coleen are thrilled with the wonderful addition to their family life."

    The new parents have named their new addition Kai Wayne Rooney, Kai meaning ‘ocean’ in Hawaiian.

    The young couple, who have been together since they were just 14 years old, married last year in a spectacular Italian wedding ceremony. The birth of their first child comes just over a year since they exchanged wedding vows.


    New mum Coleen has been in the public eye for a few years now, with her own TV show, her book deals, her advertising campaigns and her own magazine column. However, just before she announced she was pregnant, she admitted she would love to be a full-time mum: "I would like to have a family - maybe three or four children - and I would be happy to be a full-time mum. I do enjoy my work but I'd be happy when we do have children to just get on with that."

    Whatever happens to one of our favourite celeb couples, we wish them and Kai all the best!
