Katie Price looked like she didn’t have a care in the world as she left as she departed a screening of Celebrity Ex On The Beach hours after being declared bankrupt.

The former glamour model’s second bankruptcy was revealed on Monday, after the star, 45, failed to pay over £750,000 in unpaid tax – and will now face losing her home unless HMRC can recover the money.

But Katie wasn’t letting her financial woes get her down as she enjoyed a night out on Monday evening with Geordie Shore’s Chloe Ferry and TOWIE’S Bobby Norris.

The reality star put on a busty display in a low cut black vest with a cut out detail that highlighted her toned midriff.

She also sported white and blue leather trousers and tied a black leather jacket around her waist.

Beaming from ear to ear, Katie styled her brunette locks into a ponytail and added to her look with a pair of hoop earrings.

Linking arms with her pal Chloe, the mother-of-five completed her look for the evening with a pair of black heels.  

Katie failed to appear at a court hearing in London to explain why she has not paid any money to HMRC.

A judge at the High Court ruled that she be declared bankrupt after an official from HMRC said she has failed to pay any money owed or responded to any correspondence since the demand was made for the unpaid tax last year. 

Katie was speaking to the Mail’s podcast Straight to the Comments! when the news broke, which embraces the hilarity and uniqueness of the MailOnline comment section with the celebs in question, with her episode to air next week.

When told there was a new story about her, Katie gasped in shock and said: ‘Has it? Oh get lost! Are you actually serious, while I’m sat here? What have I done now?’

After hearing that she had been declared bankrupt a second time, she said she had been signed off because of ‘serious stuff’ in her life.

She said: ‘I know I had court last week or the week before. Because of what’s going on in my life, I’ve actually been signed off because I’m dealing with serious stuff.’

Katie went on to claim that she ‘doesn’t get away’ with not paying, insisting that she is making payments.

She said: ‘There’s all different kinds of bankruptcy, I think they just use the word bankruptcy. No one actually knows the ins and outs of everything.

‘And trust me I don’t get away with stuff either. Like you can’t – tax you can’t ever run away from, you have to pay. Don’t think I sit here and don’t pay stuff because I do.’

It is the second bankruptcy faced by Katie as she is being chased by creditors for a £3.2million payment over the failure of her company Jordan Trading Ltd.

Judge Sebastion Prentis sitting at the High Court Rolls Building said Katie had been served with a petition on November 27 2023 with a demand for £761,994.05.

The huge amount is made up of unpaid tax from self-assessment on her earnings from 2020 – 2022 as well as penalties and surcharges.

The court was told she owed £142,405 in tax for 2020-2021 and £196,735 for 2021-2022.

The judge said she also owed £140,000 in unpaid VAT and added:’ As with the unpaid tax no payment has been made.’

Katie was served with papers in October by HMRC informing her of the debt owed – and she has failed to respond to the demand.

The judge said: ‘There is a substantial debt due from Miss Price due to HMRC and therefore I will make a bankruptcy order.’

Katie, who has become known for flouting her surgically enhanced figure on overseas trips, was first made bankrupt in 2019 when her company went bust.

She has failed to appear at an insolvency hearing on six previous occasions with the model submitting an excuse for her no show each time.

Creditors are owed the £3.2million from her company selling perfume and cosmetics.

A HMRC source said every effort will be made to recover the money and if not paid then assets owed by Katie will be seized.

The debt to HMRC could see her lose her £2million home dubbed the ‘Mucky Mansion’ after it fell into a state of disrepair.

The latest court judgement adds to Katie’s woes after she fined last week for another motoring offence.

She was fined £880 after being caught driving a Range Rover at a service station on the A14 in Kettering, Northamptonshire in August 2023 despite having no licence or insurance.

As well as being handed eight penalty points – taking her total to 11 – the mother-of-five was also ordered to pay £972 in costs on top of the financial penalty.

Last month, a judge at the High Court ruled Katie is set to lose nearly half of her monthly income earned on OnlyFans to cover her debts.

A court in London heard from barrister Darragh Connell – who was representing the trustees – that Katie had previously reached a voluntary agreement over her debts but failed to pay up.

He informed a specialist bankruptcy judge that the previous agreement included the TV personality making 36 monthly payments of £12,500 as well as a lump sum.

The trustees went to court to request an income payments order, meaning money would go from any salary towards paying Katie’s outstanding debt.

Four companies were listed, including adult subscription website OnlyFans and celebrity photography agency Backgrid.

At the end of the hearing, Insolvency and Companies Court Judge Catherine Burton declared the four companies are ‘obligated to deduct 40 per cent of the income due to be paid to Ms Price’ each month for the next 36 months.

She added that the 40 per cent portion will now be paid to a bank account chosen by the trustees.

The court was told that Fenix International Ltd, the parent company of OnlyFans was not disputing the order against Katie. 

Judge Barton said that the reality star is due to face further questions about her finances in April.

In October, Katie appeared on Michelle Visage’s Rule Breakers podcast and said she was ‘fed up’ of facing legal action and said she would willingly go to prison to be ‘done with it all’.

She added that she had recently been to court ‘more times than I’ve had hot dinners’ and would ‘genuinely’ not care if she was jailed.

She also told Daisy May Cooper on her Educating Daisy podcast: ‘If they put me into prison, it’s another chapter for the book.’

During an appearance on Jeremy Vine’s Channel 5 show in March last year, the former Celebrity Big Brother star discussed her bankruptcy and how she had been struggling with her mental health in recent years.

She said: ‘You shouldn’t be ashamed if you have a bankruptcy because for different reasons people go into bankruptcy.

‘I went through a really, really tough time the past three years, mental health and this and that.

‘And when you go through that, you might get bills through and you put everything to the side because you can’t cope with anything.’

During a previous court hearing in October 2020, Katie apologised to the court, adding: ‘I just haven’t been able to deal with these issues or in the right mental state to understand everything that has been going on.’

She also said creditors and officials may think her engagement with them is ‘too little too late’ but that the ‘progress is real’ and she had provided financial information.

In July last year, Katie hit back at internet trolls who questioned her over her bankruptcy, insisting she still ‘owns her £2.5million house’. 

Speaking on TikTok Live, she answered questions from her followers, urging internet bullies ‘not to knock anyone’. 

‘I’m bankrupt, yes, but I still own my 2.5million pound house and I’m sat here in the kitchen doing my TikTok to you,’ she said. 

‘Never knock someone who is bankrupt, we all can go there but it doesn’t mean that it is all bad.’ 

Katie continued: ‘Yeah, my company went bankrupt and you deal with it don’t you. So, don’t ever knock anyone because it could happen to you.’

From Geordie Shore and TOWIE to Tinie Tempah and The Office, meet the American woman obsessed with British culture.

Podcast host Fatou, from Los Angeles, admits she grew up wanting to be from Britain, so she immersed herself in all things related to the country.

Her taste in music, TV shows she watched and even her celebrity crushes were all influenced by the British – so much so that people online are calling for her to be named an ‘honorary Briton’.

A TikTok that she posted under handle @fa2chainzwhich reveals her fascination has already been seen by more than 1.2 million people.

The American captioned the clip: ‘I’m English babes, I don’t care. I love those beans on toast, people!’

Explaining how her love for Britain began, she explained: “Okay, am I the only American who randomly decided to become British in high school?

“I was obsessed with Jersey Shore like everyone else. So as I’m watching I realize there’s a British version of the show called Geordie Shore, and I’m like, ‘Geordie Shore, what is that?’

‘Then I heard about this beautiful mystical place called Newcastle, and I thought, ‘that’s what a Geordie is!’

“While I’m watching the show, I’m listening to the theme song and in the theme song this girl says a line.”

Pulling up a clip of Geordie Shore star Holly Hagan talking about her boobs, Fatou continues: “She says, ‘This one’s called Heidi and this one’s Audrina, and every time that song comes on and it goes, ‘Heidi and Audrina are eating you heart, ‘These are the babies’.

‘I thought: what does that mean? Heidi and Audrina from The Hills, is that some kind of British slang?

“When I Google it, I see it’s from a line in a Tinie Tempah song called Pass Out. I thought: who is Tinie Tempah? I’ve never heard of him.’

‘So I played the song and I was in love, so I listened to the whole album Disc-Overy, it’s still one of my favorite albums. I was absolutely obsessed.”

The influencer admits she quickly finished every season of Geordie Shore that was available at the time and ‘needed more’.

Fatou said: ‘So I started watching all these British reality TV shows – SuperSize versus SuperSkinny, Secret Eaters, The Only Way is Essex.

‘Of course I was annoying, I would make being British my whole personality. During class I spoke with a British accent.

“People would talk about, ‘oh my celebrity crush is Justin Bieber, I love Zac Efron, and I’m like – ever heard of Peter Andre?

‘I listened to Tinie Tempah’s entire album. I started listening to Dizzee Rascal and all these other British rappers from that era.”

Laughing, she recalled, “I would be so obnoxious and obnoxious about it. People would ask, “What music do you listen to?” and I would say ‘This British girl group’.

“They were like, ‘Oh, the Spice Girls?’ and I’d say, ‘No, I listen to Girls Aloud, I listen to All Saints’.

“And don’t get me started on The Office. Once everyone was obsessed with The Office, I was more like, ‘The British version is better, the British version is much funnier.’

‘Even though I like the American version better now, it was annoying at the time.

“Every time I heard Tinie Tempah or another rapper reference something in a song, I had to Google it.

“When he said, ‘Would you take a chance on a chocolate chip cookie?’ I thought, what does that mean? Googled it.

“When he said, ‘She likes to talk, that’s why I call her Trisha,’ I thought, who is Trisha? I found out who Trisha Goddard was.”

Learning every obscure reference, the LA native became a pro when it came to British pop culture.

She continued: “Even with books I had to be annoying, do you all read Harry Potter? I’m reading Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging. I read Mates, Dates and Inflatable Bras.

‘The way Jordan, Katie Price, had a stranglehold on me. You can bet I was watching Skins and The Inbetweeners.

“It even got to the point where when I was in high school, I said I was in sixth form, getting ready for my A-levels” – I don’t even know what the hell that means.

‘To this day I still don’t even know what the GCSEs are. I haven’t gotten around to that yet.’

She hilariously concludes that the clip is revealing: ‘Imagine I’m obsessed with Britain, love Britain. I’m finally going to London for the first time in my life. I’m being held at London Gatwick Airport for eight hours, but that’s a story for another day.’

In the comments, the British could not suppress their surprise at the “impressive” amount of niche information known to American citizens.

One person from the UK wrote: ‘I’m actually crying that you went for it, like I didn’t expect Tinie Tempah, Peter Andre, Girl’s Aloud… JORDAN.’

Another wrote: ‘That was incredible. There must be a masters degree in British culture that you could do.”

Meanwhile, a third added: ‘When you started that video I didn’t expect you to actually be a Brit expert! The question is: are you making tea correctly?’

Impressed, others joked: ‘mate, you’re ALWAYS welcome here’ and ‘Petition to make you an honorary Briton’.

Someone else wrote: ‘You are definitely an honorary Brit. Please tell me you watched Gavin and Stacy and you know James Corden as we know him,” while another added, “This is perfection. The dedication! To reach Trisha Goddard? You made it’.

Celebrity Big Brother returns for its 23rd series on Monday March 4, making its first appearance on screens since 2018.  

It will also be on a new channel for the first time since 2010, with the latest installment of the popular show to be broadcast on ITV, having been shown on Channel 5 for the past 15 seasons.

Spanning more than two decades, the show has featured some memorable moments over the years. 

So, who has won Celebrity Big Brother in the past and what are the former winners up to in 2024?

Read on below for everything you need to know regarding the careers and happenings of previous Celebrity Big Brother winners. 

Where is Jack Dee now? 

In 2001, comedian Jack Dee spent eight days in the house with Anthea Turner, Chris Eubank, Claire Sweeney, Keith Duffy and Vanessa Feltz as part of a competition for Comic Relief. 

Arguably the most famous name to appear in the first series of Celebrity Big Brother, Jack escaped from the house several times only to return.

Despite winning, Jack has criticised the show for its treatment of contestants and has refused to allow clips of himself from the series to be shown.

Fast-forward to 2024 and the comic is currently taking BBC Radio 4 game show I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue on tour across the UK. 

Where is Mark Owen now? 

Take That star Mark Owen was not going through the best patch of his career when he chose to enter the Big Brother House.

After winning over audiences, he beat fellow housemate Les Dennis to the top spot with 77 per cent of the vote, and famously broke down in tears following his exit from the house, professing himself ‘overwhelmed’ by his fans’ support.

However, after winning the competition, his and the band’s fortunes were revived following a reunion in 2005, with Robbie Williams later joining in 2010. 

Owen and his bandmates’ reunion inspired the 2023 musical comedy Greatest Days, which was based off the eponymous jukebox musical.

Following the launch of his fifth solo album, Land of Dreams, in 2022, Mark shocked fans with a notably different appearance after he grew a moustache.

‘It started off as a beard and then my beard goes a bit patchy on [one] side. [The beard] can get a bit sweaty on tour. So then it became a moustache and it sort of stuck,’ he told BBC Breakfast. 

Where is Bez now?

Bez won the first series of the show where the celebrities were paid, and admitted that his CBB stint ‘pulled him out of [financial] trouble]’.

However, only three years later and Bez was declared bankrupt in 2008 but fortunately has managed to turn his life around since then. 

Although he has found fame with fellow Happy Mondays star Sean Ryder for his appearances on Gogglebox, Bez – whose real name is Mark Berry – now lives in Porthleven, Cornwall and is happy to live as a fisherman catching mackerel and lobster.

‘I keep a fishing boat in Porthleven and I try to fish, but it’s really hard when you’ve got kids using your boat as a diving board.

‘We’ve caught mackerel and lobster, which my friend Kelvin cooks up at his restaurant, the Mussel Shoal,’ he told The Daily Star in May 2023. 

Where is Chantelle Houghton now?

The only non-celebrity to enter the house, Essex girl Chantelle caused quite a stir when she appeared on the show in January 2006 – with cynical viewers branding her a ‘fake’.

She was tasked with convincing fellow contestants that she was a member of fictional girl band Kandy Floss and found herself rubbing shoulders with the likes of George Galloway, Pete Burns and Dennis Rodman.

But it was her romance with The Ordinary Boys star Preston – who she would later marry and divorce – that really grabbed headlines, and by the time Chantelle was crowned the winner of the series she was a bona fide celebrity in her own right.

She then found love with Katie Price’s ex Alex Reid, who also won Celebrity Big Brother.

Chantelle and Alex welcomed a daughter together in 2012 but the couple split only months later.

She has taken a more laid-back approach to being in the limelight in recent years, focusing on spending time with her daughter Dolly and speaking about topics such as self care and mental health on social media.

Where is Shilpa Shetty now? 

While appearing on the show, Shilpa Shetty was shockingly on the receiving end of racial abuse from other contestants.  

Bollywood star Shilpa famously became embroiled in a row in which contestants Jade Goody, Danielle Lloyd and Jo O’Meara made racial slurs about her – leading to hundreds of complaints and even demonstrations in India, as Carphone Warehouse withdrew their sponsorship of the show.

However, Shilpa impressed viewers by maintaining a dignified silence and, when she reached the final in January 2007, she insisted ringleader Jade Goody ‘didn’t mean to be racist’. 

In India, she began hosting reality TV show Soney Ka Dil, became a film producer in 2014 and a part owner of a cricket team.

She co-owns Iosis – an Indian chain of spas and salons – and released a book called The Great Indian Diet that same year.

Where is Ulrika Jonsson now?

The journalist and presenter was the surprise winner of series 6, after being nominated by her housemates on every occasion and only just surviving thanks to the public vote – despite forging a close relationship with Shameless actress Tina Malone.

However unlike other more notable winners, her appearance on the show – for which she was paid a rumoured £175,000 – has not proved the career booster she no doubt hoped for.

In December 2023, she revealed that she was finding single life to be tough over the festive period. 

Writing her feature in Fabulous Magazine, she penned: ‘To add insult to my Christmas misery, I am still a Single Pringle. I’ve never felt further from the prospect of a delicious snog under the mistletoe in my life.’

Ulrika has been single since her 2019 divorce from third husband Brian Monet, with whom she shares son Malcolm, 15, after the pair parted ways after ten years together.

Where is Alex Reid now? 

Then best known as Katie Price’s hapless boyfriend, cage fighter Alex entered the house to the sound of heavy boos and left a hero, winning the show with a 65 per cent majority.

But while he may have ultimately fulfilled his wish of ‘changing the boos into cheers’ by the end of the series, he is still arguably best known, six years later, for his links to Ms Price (now his ex-wife following an acrimonious split).

In an ironic twist of fate, Alex then went on to pursue a relationship, and have a daughter, with past winner Chantelle Houghton. He has also continued his career in mixed martial arts.

In April 2021, Alex was jailed for eight weeks for contempt of court after he lied in a witness statement while trying to claim compensation for a car crash.

The High Court heard that he made a county court claim for compensation after an Audi driven by him was involved in a crash with another driver in January 2018.

Where is Paddy Doherty now? 

Prior to winning Celebrity Big Brother, Paddy had appeared in My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding and Danny Dyer’s Deadliest Men. 

In July 2018, Paddy’s champion horse and cart racer nephew Michael ‘Mikey’ Connors, 32, died when a BMW went into the back of him.

Then, in April 2019, Paddy revealed he’d been secretly battling prostate cancer for seven months, before getting the all-clear.

In February 2021, Paddy ended up in hospital three times as he was struggling to breathe due to acute Covid symptoms. 

Where is Denise Welch now? 

Denise competed in a strong series that contained the likes of Kirk Norcross, Natalie Cassidy and Frankie Cocozza. 

Although she left Loose Women in 2013, Denise returned to the show in 2018 and is still part of the panel today. 

She has also appeared on Through the Keyhole and dancing show Stepping Out.

In February 2023, Denise revealed she was left ‘screaming like a wounded animal’ during a recent vertigo episode which she has struggled with for 15 years.

The Loose Women panelist, opened up about her battle with vertigo and how it has affected her daily life and revealed a particularly bad occurrence.

She detailed how the symptoms have left her ‘struggling’ for 15 years and have previously caused her to miss work on the ITV daytime show.

Where is Julian Clary now? 

After enjoying a rise to throughout the 1990s, Julian Clary’s appearance on Celebrity Big Brother helped to reignite his career.

Julian will embark on a Western-themed tour across the UK in 2024, named The Man With No Shame.

Alison Hammond also revealed that Julian sent her a text message of encouragement after she was announced as the new host of ITV’s For The Love Of Dogs, following Paul O’Grady’s death in March 2023. 

She revealed that Julian said: ”’m so happy you’ve got the job and Paul actually thought a lot of you, Alison, thought very highly of you, and he will be so happy, as am I”, and it really got me’. 

Where is Rylan Clark now? 

Rylan Clark originally found fame through his appearance on The X Factor in 2012, where he reached the quarter-finals of the show. 

After winning Celebrity Big Brother, Rylan went on to present Big Brother’s Bit On The Side, This Morning, The Xtra Factor and Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two. 

However, despite his presenting success, things took a rocky for the household name after he became ‘dangerously thin’ and ‘mentally unwell’ following the breakdown of his marriage to Dan Neal.

The television presenter and former policeman Dan announced their split in June 2022 after six years together, with Rylan saying his weight dropped to 9st 13lb after he ‘didn’t deal with what happened’.

In February 2023, Rylan revealed he once woke up in the back of an ambulance with a fractured skull after he was attacked by homophobic thugs.

The TV presenter recalled the incident in his new documentary Rylan: Homophobia, Football and Me.

He remembered one incident when he went to his local park with a group of friends after school and was attacked while on the swings.

According to The Sun, he said: ‘I remember, just this hand coming on the back of my head, throwing me down to the floor from the platform, and just getting kicked in the head.

‘And the next full memory I have is being in the back of an ambulance, and waking up right here, driving past my house on the way to the hospital.’

Where is Charlotte Crosby now? 

An original cast member of Geordie Shore, Charlotte gained notoriety for having an often-changing relationship status with fellow cast member Gaz Beadle. 

During her stint on the show, she won over legions of new fans despite famously wetting the bed after one particularly boozy night.

In 2023, Charlotte quit Geordie Shore after after getting into an argument with Marnie Simpson over a high chair during filming for the 24th series.

The pair have since unfollowed one another on social media and reportedly have not spoken since after things got heated.

Breaking her silence, Charlotte wrote: ‘Hi everyone. I just wanted to pop on to say thanks so much for all the lovely messages I’ve received over the the last 24 hours. They’ve meant a lot.

‘I haven’t had a chance to watch the new eps of Geordie Shore, but I don’t think I will. I really was quite clueless as to conversations that were being had behind my back by “Friends”.’

She continued: ‘Last year whilst filming was going on, I had just had a baby, lost my beloved nana and was trying to be by my mam’s side during her cancer diagnosis.’

Where is Jim Davidson now?

Famed for hosting The Generation Game and snooker show Big Break, Jim Davidson won the 13th series of Celebrity Big Brother. 

He has attracted a great deal of controversy for his comedy, being accused of racism, homophobia, ableism and sexism.

He was also arrested over allegations of historic sex abuse, but was not charged due to insufficient evidence.

In April 2023, Jim was said to have revealed on stage during his Not Yet Cancelled tour that he was undergoing ‘divorce number 5’ from his wife at the time Michelle Cotton.

A source told The Mirror: ‘Jim is really sad and gutted he and Michelle haven’t been able to make things work.

‘He’s not thrilled at the idea of going through another public divorce. He’s resigned to the reality nothing can be done.’ 

Where is Gary Busey now? 

Actor Gary Busey was somehow victorious during his appearance on the show, despite being nominated for eviction a record-breaking 24 times in total. 

Gary, who previously won an Academy Award for his portrayal of Buddy Holly in the 1978 biopic of the jazz star, appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in 2014. 

He clashed with almost all of his housemates, frequently interrupting them and raising his hand to their faces. 

After his win, he praised the show, saying: ‘This show showed me things about myself. Big Brother is perfection, and they gave me guidance. It was just beautiful.’

Since then, he has appeared in Entourage as himself, as well as in the show Gary Busey: Pet Judge, where he solves pet-related disputes in a courtroom setting. 

In September 2023, it was reported by TMZ that the actor may be required to re-take his driving test after being involved in a number of car accidents in recent years, with officials ‘strongly leaning toward submitting paperwork to the DMV’. 

That revelation came less than two weeks after an incident on August 30 2023, which saw a woman accuse him of crashing into her car and driving away from the scene in the 23000 block of Pacific Coast Highway in Fort Bragg, California. 

No stranger to controversy since his appearance on Celebrity Big Brother, Gary was accused of groping at least three women during a film convention in August 2022.

Where is Katie Price now? 

Unsurprisingly, Katie Price has continued to drink in the spotlight since winning Celebrity Big Brother back in 2015. 

In an Instagram post on Sunday February 25 2024, Katie revealed she is dating Married At First Sight UK star JJ Slater, 31.

On the same day she seemed to have her exes on her mind as she shared a cryptic post about playing ‘mother and father’ to her children.

Despite being declared bankrupt in 2019 with debts of £3.2million, she has caused concern at animal welfare charity People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) after seven animals – five dogs, a horse and a chameleon – died in her care. 

PETA wrote an open letter offering her £5,000 if she agreed to never buy another animal after Katie was seen cuddling up to a Sphynx kitten that cost her £1,200. 

PETA Vice President Elisa Allen said: ‘Following the news that Katie Price has bought yet another animal – in the same month as giving away her young dog, Tank – PETA has offered the TV personality £5,000 in exchange for signing a legally binding agreement promising never to acquire another animal.’

Where is James Hill now? 

Prior to winning Celebrity Big Brother, James Hill competed in the 10th series of The Apprentice and finished in ninth place. 

It was later revealed that he had been in a relationship with fellow candidate Lauren Riley during the filming of the programme. 

Since splitting up with his fellow former contestant, James has had two children with his girlfriend Naomi Hibbert. 

Hill announced the arrival of his second child, a baby son, Albie, in September 2023. 

The couple have been together since 2016 and also share a daughter, Nola, who they welcomed in June 2021.

Following the birth of his second child, James wrote on Instagram: ‘Wow 2 weeks with 2 kids! Number 2 is mostly definitely a game changer!

‘However I have loved every minute and man am I happy and proud to have a little girl and now a little boy that every man dreams of!’

Where is Scotty T now? 

In the same vein as fellow former Celebrity Big Brother winner Charlotte Crosby, Scotty T – whose real name is Scott Tomlin – is best known for appearing on Geordie Shore. 

He has encountered difficulties since winning CBB though, after he was sacked from the long-running reality show for abusing cocaine in 2019. 

Newcastle based Scotty was a permanent and extremely popular fixture on MTV show Geordie Shore, appearing in 88 episodes over a seven year period before producers were forced to sack him after his use of class-A drugs was exposed.

However, he made a surprise return to British television screens in January 2024, featuring on the second series of E4 show Celeb Cooking School. 

Judged by Michelin-starred chef Giorgio Locatelli, the competition sees celebrities put their cooking skills to the test against one another. 

Scotty was eliminated in the third round in the show’s second series, which was won by drag artist Blu Hydrangea.  

Where is Stephen Bear now? 

One of the most notorious figures to have won Celebrity Big Brother, Stephen Bear has been embroiled in controversy since being crowned victorious on the show.

He was released from prison in January 2024, just 11 months into his sentence, after he was found guilty of sharing a private video of him having sex with ex-girlfriend Georgia Harrison on subscription site OnlyFans. 

Stephen bragged about his ‘millionaire’ lifestyle, but a court heard that he had no more than £60,000 to his name, with his ‘most valuable asset’ being the sale of sex videos.

On Monday February 26 2024, MailOnline exclusively revealed that he had been forced to sign up to prize fighting in a desperate bid to make money. 

He secured a deal to compete against Katie Price’s former fiancé Kris Boyson in an event which is being promoted by YouTuber KSI’s boxing company Misfits. 

Where is Coleen Nolan now? 

After first appearing on Celebrity Big Brother in 2012, Coleen Nolan was victorious at the second attempt when she returned to the show in 2017. 

In July 2023, the TV personality discovered that she had basal cell carcinoma on her shoulder and pre-cancerous melanoma on her face.

Doctors warned her that if left untreated, it would grow into the deadliest type of skin cancer, melanoma – which can spread to other parts of the body, per The Sun. 

Sadly, Coleen is not the first person in her family to be diagnosed with the disease.

Her sister Bernie passed away from breast cancer in 2013 while her sister Linda is currently battling incurable brain cancer. Her eldest sister Anne was the first to receive a breast cancer diagnosis in 2000.

Where is Courtney Act now?

Drag queen Courtney Act beat Ann Widdecombe to be crowned Celebrity Big Brother champion in February 2018. 

Since then, they have called for anti-vilification laws to be introduced in their native Australia in order ‘to protect the LGBTIQ+ community from hate speech’. 

In May 2023, the RuPaul’s Drag Race star, whose real name is Shane Jenek, urged their 1.2million Instagram followers to donate money to the nonprofit Equality Australia to ‘champion’ the new laws.

‘Visibility without protection is a trap which is why we need anti-vilification laws in Australia,’ the 41-year-old wrote.

In November 2023, the drag queen had a scathing response to critics who accused them of ‘grooming’ children while reading books on Australian children’s TV show Play School. 

‘We’re so familiar with people dressed up as giant cows or mice entertaining children.

‘But the idea of the person inside that suit, me as Courtney dressed up in drag reading a storybook to kids is this strangely shocking proposition,’ Courtney said. 

Where is Ryan Thomas now? 

The last winner of Celebrity Big Brother before its five-and-a-half-year hiatus, Ryan Thomas was unlikely to have expected that he would possess the winning crown for such a lengthy period of time. 

He was caught up in the infamous punch-gate scandal, where contestant Roxanne Pallett controversially accused him of deliberately punching her, only for the video evidence to prove her to be lying.

Ryan is still in contention to win the 16th series of Dancing On Ice, proving that he has what it takes to win celebrity competitions in more ways than one after success on Celebrity Big Brother. 

The former Coronation Street star was finally able to move into his new house with partner Lucy Mecklenburgh after renovations were completed on the pair’s family home in September 2023. 

It came two years after the couple – who have two children together – first bought the property.  

Coronation Street's Katie McGlynn and Ricky Rayment announced their relationship on Wednesday by going Instagram official.

The former soap star, 30, played Sinead Tinker in the ITV soap until 2019, while former TOWIE star Ricky, 33, starred in the reality show of 2012 to 2015.

The loved-up duo took to Instagram on Valentine's Day and announced their romance in a joint post, sharing a slew of snaps together.

Katie and Ricky sealed the deal in one fell swoop with a sweet kiss, while in another time they enjoyed a romantic midnight dip in a jacuzzi.

They both captioned the post: “Everyday is like Valentine's Day with you #valentinesday.”

In photos obtained by The sun On Wednesday, Katie and Ricky sparked engagement rumors during a Valentine's Day stroll.

Katie was seen wearing a mystery ring on her wedding finger as she and her partner grabbed some snacks from a shop.

A spokesperson for Katie told MailOnline: 'Katie and Ricky are very happy together but they are not engaged. Katie likes to wear different rings and jewelry and happened to wear one on her ring finger.”

It comes after the new couple were spotted holding hands as they enjoyed a day of shopping in Essex on Tuesday.

Katie, who lives in Manchester, has been dating Ricky for the past four monthsAn onlooker told the publication: 'They looked very much like girlfriend and boyfriend.'

“They held hands, laughed and even kissed a little as they walked among Saturday afternoon shoppers.”

They added: 'We noticed them as they walked out of Hotel Chocolat. Ricky must have bought Katie an early Valentine's Day gift because he was carrying a bag there. They looked very happy together.'

Ricky was previously engaged to Geordie Shore's Marnie Simpson, who has since tied the knot with new boyfriend Casey Johnson.

They were got engaged to the Geordie Shore star after just four months of dating in 2015, but their whirlwind romance ended two months later.

Marnie has since moved on with X Factor star Casey, with the couple sharing three-year-old son Rox and two-year-old Oax.

During his time on reality TV he famously dated Jess Wright, but split after two years of dating in 2014, before dating Marnie for six months.

Following her split from Ricky, Marnie revealed how the former TOWIE lad lashed out at her after she decided to call off the engagement and allegedly called her 'a slag about 5,000 times'.

She said: 'When we broke up he called me every name under the sun and called me a snail about 5,000 times. He told me he always thought things like that.'

Marnie explained that the reason behind the decision to call off the wedding – which they were keen to host in 2016 – was because the ex-ITVBe star claimed they were spending 'too much time together', despite dating lived on the other side of the country.

Ricky later spoke about the romance, as he said: 'She got really drunk and then in my mind I was like, “F**king hell, she could do anything”'.

“She seems to think it's okay to hang out with her friends. But in a way it's like cheating. I wasn't that into her when she went out.'

Marnie has been in a relationship with singer Casey since 2017 and met on the set of MTV reality dating show Single AF.

She would be overjoyed after her big day on Wednesday, she says OK!: 'We've finally tied the knot – we're over the moon!'.

The couple were forced to postpone their wedding in 2021 due to ongoing Covid restrictions, before walking down the aisle in March 2023.

Joshua Ritchie is set to shake up the Love Island villa as he makes his bombshell arrival in Thursday night's episode.

In upcoming scenes, the islanders gets a surprise when Hannah Elizabeth excitably announces she's got a text to the group.

Hannah, Georgia Steel and Georgia Harrison, who is Joshua's ex-girlfriend, will get a chance to leave the villa to date the newbie.

But while they are still unaware who the new bombshell is, will Georgia H be happy to see her ex?

Hannah says: 'I've got a text…I'm shaking, I've got a text!'

The message reads: 'Islanders, Georgia S, Hannah, Georgia H, you have all been picked to go on a date, please get ready to leave the Villa. #NewBoyEnergy #GoGetItGirl'.

Meanwhile, Luis Morrison-Derbyshire, 29, continues to be torn between Kaz Kamwi and Demi Jones.

As he continues to explore a connection with both girls, Kaz makes a bold move and asks to talk on the terrace.

But Luis decides to make his move and instead pull Demi for a private chat, and things soon heat up.

Demi asks: 'How was your chat with Kaz?'

Luis replies: 'It was nice, she's a nice girl.'

Later in the evening, the islanders will immediately be asked to gather around the firepit for an announcement.

Joshua was one of the original Islanders in 2015 and has since made a name for himself on reality TV shows including Ex on the Beach and Celebs Go Dating – and because of his highly publicized romances.

He dated fellow All Stars contestant Georgia, who admitted she would be keen to couple up with him if he made an appearance, and Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby, 33, for two years between 2017 and 2019.

Producers are hoping that Georgia will hit it off with Joshua after Chris Taylor, who she fans, continues to pursue new arrival Molly Smith – and Josh will happily step on the toes of his fellow Islanders when it comes to finding love, declaring: 'If somebody's in a couple it definitely won't stop me. I always get what I want.'

But many fans were left baffled at the end of Wednesday's episode as they didn't know who Joshua was.

One person asked on Twitter: 'I didn't watch season 1. How's Josh like?'

While someone else posted: 'Who TF is Josh.'

Another person wrote: 'HOW do some of you not know who Josh is. Even from ex on the beach???'

Georgia was forced to deny speculation she was expecting her first baby with Joshua in 2022 after she was photographed at an event holding her stomach and joked on social media about becoming a mum.

A TV source told MailOnline: 'Joshua is the latest bombshell signing.

'He has come on board very much at the last minute, which is exactly how the show works, the producers are constantly reacting to what's happening in the villa.

'It's clear from their past that Georgia and Joshua have a spark… the hope is now they're able to explore their feelings for each other on the show.'

Speaking ahead of the All Stars series, Georgia called Joshua 'good looking' and admitted that he would pique her interest.

She said: 'Joshua Ritchie… I've dated before, he's good looking and my usual type.'

Joshua starred on the very first season of Love Island alongside All Star contestants Hannah Elizabeth and Luis Morrison-Derbyshire.

He came third on the series with Lauren Richardson, who was the ex-fling of One Direction star Zayn Malik.

Jessica Hayes and Max Morley were the first ever winners, but they didn't stay in a relationship.

LOVE ISLAND: ALL STARS CONTINUES TONIGHT AT 9PM ON ITV2 AND ITVX

Georgia Harrison’s ex Joshua Ritchie was announced as Love Island All Stars’ latest bombshell during Wednesday’s episode.

Joshua, 29, was one of the original Islanders in 2015 and has since made a name for himself on reality TV shows including Ex on the Beach and Celebs Go Dating – and because of his highly publicised romances.

He dated fellow All Stars contestant Georgia Harrison, 29, who admitted she would be keen to couple up with him if he made an appearance, and Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby, 33, for two years between 2017 and 2019.

Producers are hoping that Georgia will hit it off with Joshua after Chris Taylor, who she fancies, continues to pursue new arrival Molly Smith.

But many fans were left baffled at the end of Wednesday’s episode as they did not know who Joshua was.

One person asked on Twitter: ‘I didn’t watch season 1. How’s Josh like?’

While someone else posted: ‘Who TF is Josh.’

Another person wrote: ‘HOW do some of you not know who Josh is. Even from ex on the beach???’

And another person remarked: ‘Ya’ll fake stans asking WHO IS JOSH. GET OUT.’

Someone else shared: ‘Who’s Josh? I didn’t watch the first season.’

One other person posted: ‘People saying “who is Josh” are showing their age. Or am I showing mine.’

While someone else wrote: ‘ME NOT EVEN REMEMBERING JOSH.’

‘When you have to Google Josh and Luis from Season 1 because they both have changed so much,’ admitted another viewer.

Georgia was forced to deny speculation she was expecting her first baby with Joshua in 2022 after she was photographed at an event holding her stomach and joked on social media about becoming a mum.

A TV source told MailOnline: ‘Joshua is the latest bombshell signing.

‘He has come on board very much at the last minute, which is exactly how the show works, the producers are constantly reacting to what’s happening in the villa.

‘It’s clear from their past that Georgia and Joshua have a spark… the hope is now they’re able to explore their feelings for each other on the show.’

Joshua starred on the very first season of Love Island alongside All Star contestants Hannah Elizabeth and Luis Morrison-Derbyshire.

He came third on the series with Lauren Richardson, who was the ex-fling of One Direction star Zayn Malik.

Jessica Hayes and Max Morley were the first ever winners, but they didn’t stay in a relationship.

The All Stars series has already given fans the drama they have craved since the summer.

Viewers were shocked to discover that Jake Cornish had quit the show after just 72 hours.

MailOnline revealed that he would still earn £2,000 for his TV appearance after Islanders were promised the amount each week they remain in the villa.

He was left in an awkward position after the public decided to pair him with ex-girlfriend Liberty Poole, who he dated on the show in 2021.

Jake was met by criticism from the public for the way he treated Liberty throughout their romance but the exes made amends and agreed to put the past behind them.

Liberty even broke down in tears when Jake announced to the cast that he was leaving, and the pair parted ways with a huge hug.

Love Island All Stars continues at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX on Thursday 18 January. 

Marnie Simpson made a rare appearance with husband Casey Johnson on Monday night as they posed at the Geordie Shore screening at Soho House in London.

The reality star, 31, looked stunning in a black floral cut-out dress as she got dressed with her former X Factor contestant husband.

The couple, who tied the knot in 2023 after postponing their wedding wedding in 2021 due to ongoing Covid restrictions, beaming as they posed on the red carpet.

Marnie turned heads in the figure-hugging dress which she teamed with a pair of black heels and a matching handbag.

Meanwhile, former Union J singer Casey wore a blue shirt with white skinny pants and black boots.

Marnie, who shares two sons Rox, four, and Oax, 20 months, with Casey, was also joined by her co-stars Chloe Ferry, Abbie Holborn, Chantelle Connelly and Sophie Kasaei.

It comes after fans were furious last year after Casey’s band Union J canceled their reunion tour without any public announcement.

The band first rose to fame as a contestant on The X Factor in 2012, where they came fourth in the competition and later signed a recording contract with Sony.

Although the group officially disbanded in 2019, they announced in December 2022 that they would reunite for a reunion tour in the spring of 2023.

They were due to perform in Newcastle, Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham and Liverpool.

But on Twitter, one fan was left furious after receiving an email saying her ticket for the Liverpool Empire Theater concert had been refunded.

The email said: ‘Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, the show’s promoters have made the difficult decision to cancel the performance scheduled to take place on June 3, 2023.

‘We understand the disappointment this will cause and apologize for any inconvenience caused.’

Attacking the band, the fan captioned the post: “Their silence on all of this is actually disrespectful.”

Replying to a comment on whether this was just for Liverpool or not, she confirmed that the cancellation applied to the ‘entire tour’ and said ‘I don’t know why they haven’t said anything’.

Other fans were also left angry, as one wrote: ‘So Union J posts on the personal accounts but hasn’t said anything about the tour cancellation!

Another wrote: ‘Guys, don’t use the band’s account on Insta to promote your own stuff when you can’t even give us a reason (yet) why there’s no tour. You’re just going to add fuel to the fire.”

The group was founded as a foursome on the talent show with George Shelley, who left the group in 2016. They were initially signed to RCA Records and released their first single in June 2013.

Stereo Kicks singer and later Ex On The Beach star Casey Johnson, who shares two children with Marnie Simpson, replaced George in 2016 but bosses quickly dropped him.

The band was scheduled to perform five special shows in 2023 as part of their reunion tour.

They also had tour dates scheduled for Newcastle and Glasgow in May – both of which have been cancelled.

Union J representatives have been contacted for comment.

Watch the first TWO episodes of the brand new series #GeordieShore on Tuesday 9 January on @paramountplusuk or watch weekly on @mtvuk!

Chloe Ferry showed off her famous curves in a sheer lace co-ord set as she attended the new series of Geordie Shore screenings at the Soho Hotel, London, on Monday.

The reality star, 28, turned heads when she showed off a black bra and matching thong under figure-hugging trousers and blouse.

She wore her body in a pair of sky-high heels and lugged her belongings in a black handbag.

Chloe looked fantastic as she danced and posed for photos with co-star Chantelle Connelly.

Chantelle put on a leggy show in a pair of black leather thigh-high boots which she teamed with a mini skirt and cropped sweater.

The duo also joined co-stars Marnie Simpson, Abbie Holborn and Sophie Kasaei as they posed up a storm on the red carpet ahead of the screening.

Chloe just smiled as she sat on an inflatable flamingo on the ground and raised her arms in the air.

The next series of the MTV show will begin in January, while filming for a 2024 series will begin this spring.

It comes after Chloe showed off her ample assets as she posed in a sizzling bikini snap on Instagram last week.

The TV personality was on New Year’s holiday in Thailand and posed in a swimming pool.

She struggled to contain her cleavage in a tiny striped triangle top and matching thong bottoms.

The brunette beauty captioned her post: “Thailand you have been amazing,” ahead of her flight home.

Chloe was in Thailand with her boyfriend Johnny Wilbo.

Chloe first broke up with Johnny in September 2022 when she accused him of messaging other girls behind her back, and after deciding to give their relationship another try, they split again in December.

The pair were most recently reunited for a fourth time last February after being spotted together at Charlotte Crosby’s show launch party.

In a clip from the bash, Chloe and Johnny were seen alongside other TV stars including Sophie Kasaei and her boyfriend Jordan Brook.

A source said The sun at the time: ‘Chloe is taking it easy with Johnny. She cannot suppress her feelings for him.

‘At Christmas she spent some time sorting out how she felt and she wants Johnny in her life.

“Chloe is trying to put the past behind her and just wants to have fun and enjoy life with Johnny again.”

The TV star first broke up with Johnny last September 2022 when she accused him of messaging other girls behind her back, and after deciding to give their relationship another try, they broke up a week later broke up again, with Chloe reportedly ‘gutted’. ‘.

But after seemingly reuniting for a few days in December 2022, Chloe quickly found herself single again, saying: ‘I literally want to be alone.’

She said The sun: ‘I don’t even want to be with anyone. I’ve had such a bad 2022 that I physically can’t wait for ’23.’

A source told MailOnline at the time: ‘Chloe and Johnny have unfortunately put their relationship under review but will remain good friends.

‘Chloe is devastated that it didn’t work out, but knows this is the right decision for them both.

‘As Christmas approaches, Chloe now plans to surround herself with family and friends over the festive period as a welcome distraction and focus on her business.’

Friendship issues were put aside as Katie Price made an unmissable appearance at a Geordie Shore screening in London on Monday night.

The former glamor model has been involved in a very public spat with ex-fiancé Carl Woods in recent days, but all that was forgotten as she showed off her cosmetically enhanced assets at the Soho Hotel.

Katie, 45, opted for a sheer lilac catsuit which drew attention to her voluptuous figure and inevitably stole the spotlight from the returning MTV show’s main cast, including Sophie Kasaei and Chloe Ferry.

The mother-of-five complimented the look with a pair of black ankle boots as she struck a series of provocative red carpet poses.

A sleeveless detail gave Katie the opportunity to show off the numerous tattoos that adorned each of her arms as she mingled with other guests at the central London venue.

She looked confident as she struck a series of poses for the camera at the event.

Chloe, 28, also appeared at the screening, who opted for a revealing black lace jumpsuit that showed off her underwear.

She increased her height with nude heels as she put on a busty show and sported a bouncy blow-dryer.

Sophie Kasaei and her TOWIE star boyfriend Jordan Brook were also in attendance with Sophie, 34, looking stylish in denim corduroy and a white crop top.

She packed on the PDA with a smartly dressed Jordan as they kissed in front of the cameras.

The show’s Marnie Simpson, 31, also posed on the red carpet, looking beautiful in a black and floral dress.

Elsewhere, cast member Chantelle Connelly showed off some leg in a leather skirt and cropped black sweater.

Other stars of the show, including Nathan Henry, Abbie Holborn and Jay Gardner, also posed for photos during the screening.

Katie’s outing comes after her ex-fiance Carl lashed out at her again earlier on Monday as he posed hugging a mystery woman’s legs, adorned with a tattoo that read ‘Game Over’.

The car dealer, 34, has been hit by rumors he has split from the star who stunned fans by recently claiming she is single.

Carl enjoyed a getaway in Thailand with his friends, squatting on the ground and holding the woman’s legs as she stood up from behind.

He showed off the bold tattoos on his companion’s legs, with the words ‘Game Over’ written on the back of her thighs as she wore a pair of mini jeans.

Carl smouldered into the lens and repeated the words in his caption, with an obvious nod to his relationship status with the star.

And on New Year’s Eve, Katie surprised her 2.6 million followers by announcing she was single.

And now the former I’m A Celebrity star has revealed why she is reluctant to remarry, claiming the men she dates just ‘want to be famous’.

On The Katie Price Show, Katie’s sister Sophie asked: ‘Would you like to get married again?’ Katie responded, “The problem is that it costs ME money to get married and it costs ME money to divorce.

‘So I haven’t really been in a good situation so if I want to get married again they have to tick the right boxes or they have to have more to lose than me because I’m just tired of these clings turning into Mr Price’s and then want to be famous and all that. I’m just tired of it, I just want to meet someone who wants me for me…

‘But yes, I would get married, shall we organize that, of course I would get married again, I want a fairy tale. Yes, I would get married again and I want the whole thing.

‘I just want it to be right, I never wanted to get divorced and get married again and again.

“To have that one person, no drama, there’s nothing worse than when your family doesn’t get along with him. I like being settled, when I’m settled everything else goes well.’

It’s unclear exactly when Katie broke up with Carl, but the couple has called off their engagement several times in recent months.

She shared how she was single on New Year’s Eve while spending time with boyfriend Kerry Katona and documenting the evening on Instagram. Katie stated, “We want to wish you a Happy New Year!”

She later shouted at the camera that she was ‘single’ before she and Kerry aimed kisses at the lens.

Katie was last spotted with Carl on December 21, 2023, when they stepped out arm-in-arm after her pantomime performance of Sleeping Beauty in Liverpool.

Katie and Carl previously split in late November 2023 and unfollowed each other on Instagram, but appeared to confirm they were back on the Liverpool getaway.

At the time of the split in November 2023, she also reportedly avoided mentioning the businessman, 34, while speaking to fans on TikTok – despite the pair putting on a cozy display on a red carpet the week before.

A source told The Sun: ‘When Katie was asked if she was single on TikTok, she waited a while and then refused to answer the question.’

The couple rekindled their romance last July and were said to be planning a secret wedding, with Katie trying on a beautiful white dress during a nap.

MailOnline contacted Katie’s representatives for comment at the time.

The pair have been in a turbulent relationship since July 2020 and got engaged the following April.

But things were previously said to be full steam ahead with wedding plans, with Katie keen to run away and ‘elope’ with Carl, while a source noted she ‘loves the thrill of getting married’.

However, the TV personality’s wedding plans did not include her mother Amy, who stated that she would not tell her when she got married due to her disapproval of Carl.

A source told OK! magazine last July: ‘Katie is planning a secret wedding to Carl, and then a big party. It will be soon. She loves the thrill of getting married and wants to do it again.”

Sharing further details about their plans, they continued: ‘Katie would like to elope and marry Carl at a registry office. The kids will be there, but she won’t tell her mother until it’s done.

‘Katie knows Amy would be furious and tell her not to do it. She keeps suggesting Carl go to Gretna Green.’

Katie has been married three times. She was married to Peter Andre for four years and tied the knot with Alex Reid in 2010.

They split after 11 months of marriage and Katie married Kieran Hayler in 2013, but they split in 2018.

Katie and Carl called off their engagement in March last year, before rumors of a reunion emerged after they were spotted together several times.
