Cops: ‘We do not condone Katie’s trip’

- EXCLUSIVE BY TOM BRYANT Head of Showbiz

POLICE said they “do not condone” Katie Price’s 200mile Valentine’s weekend trip but insist she complied with lockdown regulation­s.

As we reported yesterday, officers spoke to Katie, 42, and boyfriend Carl Woods, 32, after they were accused of breaching rules.

The model had claimed Carl laid on a balloon-filled cabin in his Essex garden.

But the pair had in fact been to a woodland cabin near Oswestry, Shrops.

Officers spoke to owners of Henlle Hall and found the pair were there for “legitimate business purposes” – said to be a photoshoot.

But West Mercia Police clarified that they “discourage­d” her actions.

Katie’s spokeswoma­n said police were “satisfied” with her explanatio­n.

A TRAINEE British Army officer has been sacked after getting caught repeatedly hiding in a female cadet’s room in the hope of seeing her naked.

Creepy Hector Orrell, 21, was found to have lurked behind the woman’s bed five times as she came back from the shower at the Sandhurst academy.

A court martial heard he also pushed his groin against the legs of his fellow trainee and another female cadet as they queued for lunch.

Orrell admitted his behaviour was the “worst thing he had ever done”.

He pleaded guilty to four charges of disgracefu­l conduct of an indecent kind and was made to pay £750 to each of his victims.

NADINE Coyle has opened up about how Sarah Harding’s breast cancer diagnosis made her re-evaluate how she was living her life.

The Derry native said the news of her Girls Aloud pal’s condition last year made her realise some things about herself.

In an interview with Hello! magazine, the 35-year-old said: “It’s made me realise how much I’ve put things off and taken for granted. I’ll never do that again. Sarah is always in my prayers. I’m sending her all the positivity I can.”

Sarah, 39, announced in August last year that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer which had spread to other parts of her body.

She posted on

Instagram: “Earlier this year I was diagnosed with breast cancer and a couple of weeks ago I received the devastatin­g news it has advanced to other parts of my body.”

In an update to fans in December she revealed she had written a book which was released before Christmas and that she was “fighting as hard as she could”.

MINISTERS are being urged to pump more cash into the British steel industry to help it become more eco-friendly.

Greener methods such as carbon capture are vital to preserve steelmakin­g in the UK, according to a report by the Common Wealth think-tank.

It warns: “The future of jobs, livelihood­s and whole communitie­s are at stake.”

Britain’s steel industry employs 32,000 people but struggles to compete with cheap foreign imports.
