Katie Price becomes the first celebrity to return to the jungle
Katie Price signs up for the jungle for a second time
After mounting speculation that Peter Andre was in talks to re-enter the jungle, this week has seen a surprising turn in events as his ex-wife Katie Price has announced that she will be returning to the show for this year’s series of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. However the glamour model has already succeeded in getting the backs of her fellow contestants up after it was revealed that she will receive 5 times more money for appearing on the show.
Other I’m A Celebrity contestants this year include ex-Eastender Lucy Benjamin, Kim Woodburn from Kim and Aggie “How Clean Is Your House” fame, former glamour girl Sam Fox, Strictly Come Dancing’s Camilla Dallerup, and home makeover couple Justin Ryan and Colin McAllister amongst other. All of which are reported to be receiving in the region of £65,000 each to appear on the show, whereas Katie Price has signed deal which will see her bring home £350,000 from her stint in the jungle.
A friend of one of the contestants spoke out about the massive contrast in pay deals saying, “This is really taking the mick. We were pushing for more cash but were told things were tight this year. Now we know why.” ITV knows Katie is a ratings winner and her presence on the show will boost its profile no end, hence the massive pay-out.
Despite the lucrative deal, Katie won’t even enter the jungle until a week after the other contestants. The reason for the delay is said to be because the mum of three had prior commitments in the US, unofficially it’s been rumoured that’s she’s stopping off in LA to top up on Botox before her TV stint.
On her last outing on the ITV show in 2004, Katie met Peter Andre whom she married later that year.
Peter Andre and Katie’s new man Alex Reid clash
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 expected to reach number 2 in the charts
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.
Maybe Katie Price should employ a chauffeur??
Time for Jordan to call a chauffeur?
Katie Price is known for her love of fast cars and recently, even faster men, so when she was snapped driving her luxury white Range Rover with a pink towel covering her face, it certainly raised a few safety issues. It appears that the high profile celeb has suddenly turned camera shy and is now doing everything she can to conceal herself from the preying paparazzi.
Given the 31-year-old has now developed a penchant for driving partially blindfolded in an attempt to hide from the snappers, maybe she should employ the services of a chauffeur? This way she can conceal herself under a towel, Gucci handbag or designer jumper anytime she likes without endangering the safety of the waiting photographers, but that might be beside the point.
Katie Price, aka Jordan, can certainly afford a chauffeur after she was granted a quickie divorce this week from Aussie singer, Peter Andre. Her £28 million fortune will remain intact as her ex-husband will only be entitled to a 50% share of the money they earned during their marriage. This figure is rumoured to be £12 million with each of them walking away with £6million a piece.
Since her divorce was granted in a 1 minute high court ruling this week, OK Magazine have revealed that Katie Price will throw a lavish divorce party to celebrate her new freedom. The celeb mag plans to do a full spread of the “star studded” event however the news hasn’t been warmly received by everyone. Some journalists have accused the mother of three of sinking to a new low with her latest stunt, but it seems the determined celeb is set on the idea.
Katie and Peter’s divorce due to be heard in the High Court today
Katie and Peter's divorce proceedings begin
Today one of the U.K’s most high profile couples will officially start the legal proceedings to end their marriage. Katie Price and Peter Andre’s divorce will be subject to an initial hearing in London’s High Court under the Family Division, neither are due to appear in court.
Unusually the couple have applied for a cross decrees signalling that both parties have petitioned for a divorce. This only occurs when both sides are unwilling to take the blame for the breakdown of the marriage meaning that neither party will have to give a reason for their involvement in the split. The marriage will be brought to end on the grounds that it is irretrievably broken down.
The couple only announced their separation 4 months ago but details of the divorce appear to have been resolved quickly. For once, this celebrity divorce doesn’t seem to hinge on money. Pete will walk away with £6 million, a 50% split from the £12 million they earned during their marriage. He has not asked for a slice of Katie’s £28 million fortune which she amassed prior to their marriage.
The proposed terms of the divorce state that the couple are applying for joint custody of their two children, two-year-old Princess and 4 year-old Junior who stared school this week. The final details of the custody arrangements are yet to be finalised. Diving the couple’s properties appears to have been a far simple process as their former martial home in Surrey, estimated to be worth £3 million, was bought in Katie’s name, whereas Pete owns a £2 million luxury home in Cyprus.
This initial court hearing is a significant step in the legal divorce proceedings. Katie and Peter will now a 6 weeks cooling-off period, starting from today, to allow both parties to think over their decision. If neither have changed their mind after the 6 weeks is up, the decree absolute, which will officially dissolve the marriage, can be signed.

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.
Jordan’s new bloke twists the knife into Peter Andre as he reveals all about his love for the glamour model
Katie Price hand in hand with new lover Alex Reid
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.”
Peter Andre regrets the ‘no sex’ promise
Aussie singer Peter Andre has admitted that he regrets vowing to stay celibate until his divorce from Katie Price is confirmed.
Peter Andre
Andre was finding it a struggle staying faithful and wishes he never made the promise of not to have sex with anyone else as long as he was still married to estranged wife Jordan (Katie Price).
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.
The 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!
Katie Price propositions her chauffeur
The sun had obviously gone to Katie Price’s head this week as she is reported to have propositioned her chauffeur in front of her boyfriend. It seemed Katie was so impressed with the Brazilian driver’s muscled physique that she asked him “Do you fancy a threesome?”
The handsome driver, named Saul, was her chauffeur whilst she holidayed in Malaga with new love, the cage fighter Alex Reid. The cheeky model made the brash comment during one of their outings on the sun soaked resort. Understandably the saucy suggestion didn’t go down too well with the mother of three’s latest boyfriend who was said to have got very “grumpy” after the incident.
A source close to Alex Reid said the martial arts expert was getting increasingly frustrated with the amount of “attention she (Katie) paid other men.” Her behaviour towards the hunky chauffeur was particularly outrageous with her even going as far as “getting her kit off in front of him.” As an extra dig, Katie even joked that the driver’s muscles were bigger than Reid’s after having a good feel of his biceps.
Following her outburst, the atmosphere seemed decidedly frosty between the new love-birds. They were photographed eating breakfast in silence on the balcony of their luxury hotel apartment. It’s in huge contrast to other reports this week; Katie, aka Jordan, hit the headlines after been snapped cavorting topless around the hotel pool with her new stud (Reid, not the chauffeur!)
Meanwhile Katie’s estranged husband Peter Andre, who’s taking care of their 3 children whilst she holidays in Malaga, treated the kiddies to an afternoon strawberry picking. 31-year-old Katie couldn’t resist having a swipe at her recent ex posting a comment on her Twitter site which read “STRAWBERRY PICKING…WHAT NEXT!!?”
