Pete's fury over raunchy Jordan snaps:
Peter Andre is said to be furious today, after yet another set of pictures emerged showing his ex Katie Price frolicking with her new man. The snaps, taken yesterday in Spain, show Katie lying down for a massage wearing just tiny pants, and Alex Reid coming up behind to fondle her bum in full view of other holidaymakers. Pete told heat himself that Jordan's antics can no longer hurt him, but that he's worried what effect it will have on the kids. Junior, especially, is said to be upset about his mum and dad's split, and Pete feels it's far too soon for her to bring another man into her house and bed. Last night his spokesman said, "Peter would like to see Jordan acting sensibly and not being pictured like this. Peter would never let that happen." Katie and her new man are expected back in the UK this afternoon.

Another Strictly dancer gets the boot
Another day, another row kicking off over at Strictly Come Dancing HQ. This time New Zealand-born dancer Hayley Holt has spoken out about her unceremonious sacking, which was done by e-mail. Hayley, who danced with hunky swimmer Mark Foster in the last series, said sadly, "I'm not too sure why I wasn't asked back. They didn't really give me a reason. It leaves me wondering why, and it's frustrating. I'm really going to miss it." The new revelation came as the BBC denied axing dancer Karen Hardy because of her age, saying through a statement, "The decision to change Karen's role has absolutely nothing to do with age. It was a mutual decision between her and the BBC. She's been a fantastic dancer on Strictly for the past four years and we are in discussions with her as to what her new role will be in this year's series." Blimey, at this rate the show will be more talked about now then when it actually starts.

Posh and Becks plan Chelsea move
No, not to the football club. Property insiders have revealed that Victoria Beckham has her eye on a very swish pad in London's Chelsea. The house – which Vic is already familiar with after her old music producer friend Damon Dash rented it out a few years ago – costs a whopping £10 million and features a roof terrace, five bedrooms, designer kitchen, home cinema and pool. Friends say that Victoria has her eye on the house and asked her people to organise a viewing the moment she heard the current owners were selling, fueling the rumours that the couple may be leaving LA after David's recent troubles at his football club, LA Galaxy. Ooh, we'd love to have Posh and Becks back home – let's home this rumour is true!
 
Holly to miss This Morning debut?
The moment she signed up to This Morning, we couldn't help but think, 'Blimey, she'll be busy', and now there's speculation that Holly Willoughby may miss her much-lauded relaunch of This Morning, thanks to a clash with the filming of The X Factor. Holly is due to fly out to film Xtra Factor scenes in LA, amongst other glamorous locations, the week of 31 August for seven days alongside all the judges, but this is when This Morning was due to relaunch with Hol alongside Phillip Schofield. TV bosses say that they may now have Eammon Holmes and wife Ruth presenting that week, with Phil and Holly launching the week after instead, with a new set, logo and theme tune for the morning TV show.
