Katie Price has ended months of speculation over the state of her marriage to cage fighter Alex Reid by releasing a lengthy statement confirming their relationship is over.

A 600 word statement was released via Katie’s management last night in which the former glamour model referred to her 11-month long marriage to Reid as a “mistake” and something she rushed into.

The couple got together after being introduced at Katie Price’s pal Michelle Heaton’s Birthday party, just weeks after the mother of three split from her first husband Peter Andre. The reality TV star quickly moved her new man into the family home.

After just 9 months of dating, Katie and Alex wed in a quickie Las Vegas ceremony. The couple were due to celebrate their first wedding anniversary on February 2nd.

In the official statement, the 32 year old blames her estranged husband’s desire to promote himself in the public eye for the breakdown of their marriage saying it changed the dynamic of their relationship. The model also alluded to the couple’s failed attempts to conceive a baby via IVF which was reported to have put a strain on the marriage.

The cage fighter was pictured looking visibly upset as he moved out of the Surrey mansion he had shared with Katie, also known as Jordan. Alex was then seen moving back into his parents’ family home.

Writing on her Twitter blog this morning, the reality TV star thanked her fans for their support during this “sad time” but refused to comment any further.

Pete clashes with Alex Reid during heated phonecall

It was bound to happen at some point but things have turned nasty between Peter Andre and his estranged wife’s new man, Alex Reid. The two men are said to have clashed during a telephone conversation this week when Pete called to speak to his children whom he hadn’t had contact with for 5 days.

Katie was said to be annoyed with Pete and handed the phone over to Alex when things started to boil over. Alex is reported to have told the Aussie singer that he was “the man of the house now” and a heated exchanged ensued in which Alex claims Pete called him a tranny after the revelations in the tabloids recently that the cage fighter is a fan of dressing up in women’s clothes.

However Pete strongly denied using this slur during an interview on This Morning today. He also expressed anger that the whole episode was made public saying that, “within minutes it was up on Facebook” and a matter of this nature should remain private.

Katie Price has also joined in the row today claiming that Pete threatened Alex saying “I’m gonna break your f***ing legs” during the bust-up. Pete admitted to having lost his temper saying that issues relating to his kids “push his buttons” and he was devastated at not being allowed to speak to his own children.

Peter Andre's album to reach number 2 in charts

If the mid-week reports are anything to go by, Peter Andre should clinch the number 2 position in the U.K album charts this week with his brand new release, Revelation. His attempt to resurrect a pop career is going from strength to strength as fans have been cuing up to get their hands on the latest Andre offering.

Other runners and riders in the album chart this week include newcomer Pixie Lott and U.S rap star, and hubby to Beyonce, Jay Z. However the veteran singer, 92-year-old Vera Lynn, is showing the young ones a thing or two by hanging on to the number one spot for another week.

Pete’s popularity has sky rocketed since his split from former wife, Katie Price, earlier this year whereas hers has taken a serious nose-dive. The 36-year-old Aussie singer is currently on tour around the U.K to promote the new album. He’s already visited Milton Keynes and Reading this week where he was mobbed by thousands of fans as they turned out in force to catch a glimpse of the star.

The success of the album will further boost Peter’s earnings which have also seen a dramatic increase in the past few months. It has been estimated that the singer has racked in almost £4 million since the news of the divorce. He’s managed to bag a presenting job on This Morning and been paid a fortune for countless interviews and appearances: Pete’s never been so popular.

Peter Andre lands job on This Morning

Peter Andre’s star is rising as he lands on his feet with a job as showbiz reporter for the daytime TV favourite, This Morning. The ITV show returns next week on September 1st with a whole new look, a several new faces to boot.

Holly Willoughby is the most significant change to the mix as she replaces Fern Britton to co-host the show alongside Phillip Schofield. However for the first two week, Eamonn Holmes and his fiancé Ruth Langsford will resume presenting duties until the new pairing debut on September 14th. Other newcomers to the show include Linda Barker, chef Jean Christophe Novelli, and gardener Diarmuid Gavin.

This isn’t Pete’s first foray into presenting on the morning show. Along with his now estranged wife Katie Price, Pete presented a segment whilst the series I’m A Celebrity Get me Out Of Here was airing offering their opinions on events within the jungle. As a pair of ex-contestants themselves, the couple were well positioned to offer their views and were also popular with the viewers.

Last week the first episode of Peter Andre’s solo reality showed was aired on ITV2 and pulled in a staggering 2 million viewers, the highest audience figures for the channel this year. Pete has also re-launched his music career this summer and reached number 4 in the charts with his debut single, Behind Closed Doors, from his forthcoming new album. This Morning will hope to capitalise on Pete’s popularity and appeal to a whole new area of the audience market.

Peter announced his split from wife of 3 and a half years, Katie Price aka Jordan, in May of this year and the pair have rarely been out of the headlines since. The Mysterious Girl will be joining the hit show at a special time as This Morning celebrates its 21st anniversary in October and a whole host of celebrity guests are rumoured to appear to mark the occasion.

If you’re of a delicate disposition stop reading now, or grab yourself a bucket. Katie Price’s new squeeze Alex Reid has spoken out about his love for her, admitting he tells her he loves her “50 million times a day.” Other romantic activities undertaken by the love-birds include spending hours looking into each other’s eyes “just staring without talking or saying anything.”

To his credit the former Hollyoaks actor doesn’t deny the fact that his new relationship has boosted his profile significantly, however he emphatically denies it was a motive for getting together with the recently single mum-of-three. As well as enhancing his public image, the media attention has had a negative effect on 34 year-old Reid; a Sunday tabloid recently revealed stills taken from a hard-core sex film  in which he had a starring role, the footage is described as being “vile and degrading.”

Katie’s ex-husband, Peter Andre, always maintained he loved Katie but disliked Jordan. With a nod to this comment, Alex said he accepts both sides of his new bird’s personality. He believes there’s “no difference” between the two personas and he sees her “as one person.” During the interview he also spoke of his fondness for Katie’s children, something which is guaranteed to enrage Pete who is a very protective of his brood.

And poor Pete continues to get a battering, this time from his estranged wife. Talking about her new relationship she took the opportunity to take a side-ways swipe at her ex saying “Alex is better in bed than I’m used to.” So the love-up couple continue to wallow in their new found bliss with Alex choosing to end his interview with the epic cliché “I’ve never felt like this before. Ever.”

Talking about his sex life after splitting from the glamour Jordan, Pete said: “I haven’t done a thing.”

“I made this celibacy vow, kicking myself a bit for it now. But I’ve said what I’m going to do and I’m going to do it.”

Meanwhile, mum-of-three Katie has made no secret of her steamy new relationship with cage fighter Alex Reid, 34 who were being filmed by a Living TV documentary crew as they kissed and cuddled in the park in Brighton in broad daylight with Harvey, seven, four-year-old Junior and Princess Powerpuff, two.

Peter Andre tipped to reach to number one with new single

Peter Andre’s new single is far outselling the competition according to Amazon.co.uk MP3 Store. The single “Behind Closed Doors” went on sale at midnight on Saturday and demand for the Andre offering went into overdrive leaving the current number one record “Never Leave You” by Tinchy Styler and the Black Eyed Peas record trailing behind.

peter-andre-movidaThe head of music buying at the online Amazon store, Julian Monaghan, said they were instantly inundated with requests for the Andre single and demand has been steady all weekend. Early reports of download sales are very encouraging with many experts suggesting this new offering could join Peter’s other hit singles like Mysterious Girl, Flava and I feel you.

Andre was at his musical peak in the late 90’s when his single Mysterious Girl sold over 2 million records worldwide. More recently the singer has earned his column inches for his private life. In the past few weeks he’s been a permanent fixture on the tabloid front pages as his very messy split from wife Katie Price is played out in the full glare of the media spotlight.

However Peter is determined to turn this around and get the media talking about something he’s proud of. Speaking in a radio interview this weekend the 36-year old father of three made a bold statement saying “I believe I can do what Robbie (Williams) did.” Peter sees many similarities between the former Take That singer and himself. He believes he faces that same criticism and scepticism that Robbie experienced when he tried to launch his solo career adding “He felt how I feel now.”

Robbie, you have been warned; Andre’s on the lookout for a pop career just like yours!
