Katie Price is a woman of huge extremes and even bigger contradictions. She's a glamour model who has made millions from her body, yet she says she craves love, not sex. She's a ruthless self-made businesswoman, but confesses to being hopelessly needy. She comes across as tough, but it's clearly armour she's created to hide the fragile Katie who's been hurt time and time again.

When I meet her in her fairy-tale turreted house in Surrey, she is edgy, cagey. We are sitting with cups of tea in her conservatory, but she's hardly relaxing. Her words are like daggers, flying sharp and fast. She has just been granted a decree nisi - the first step towards finalising her divorce from Peter Andre. "I don't need a courtroom to tell me the marriage is over," she says. "It's been a difficult time and it will be a relief when I can finally say we're divorced."

But even after the ink has dried on the legal papers, the Katie-Peter pantomime looks set to continue. She admits she sees the daily media war between herself and Peter as a game. But it's a brutal one.

Pete, 36, is coming over as the good guy, spending time with his children, pledging celibacy. But rather than compete with that, Katie, 31, has gone the other way. Going to Ibiza, taking her top off, being more wild than he is tame. And moving on to a new man in record time.

Go backstage and see the clothes Jordan wore on her Fabulous fashion shoot

"When I split from Pete everyone said I had to lie low and stay in," she says. "But I was the one who'd been dumped. Am I supposed to sit here and wait for him to say: 'Right, Kate, you can have a boyfriend now, you can do this, you can do that'? If he doesn't want me, I'm going to live my life..."

The latest roll of the dice today saw her dodging the paps so they wouldn't get a picture of her with Harvey - she even went to a police station to shake them off.

WATCH ALEX REID FIGHT FOR KATIE PRICE

"I never trust a man 100 per cent"

"Pete is always being pictured with the kids and I don't want to play that game. It's like Monopoly - and I'm in jail. I've run out of 'Get out of jail free' cards. But it's all fun and games... whatever dice is thrown next, bring it on," she says, slipping into warrior woman mode.

How does she feel about the fact that, so far at least, she seems to be losing the game with Pete in the eyes of the public?

"I've been doing this job since I was 17, I've been in relationships and split up. I've always come out worst. It's nothing new," she explains.

Katie is a stubborn person, not given to self-analysis and self-blame. The end of her marriage must have been harder for her than for most. She's a person who likes to be in control. She had no control over this - it was Pete who walked out on her after three-and-a-half years of marriage.

"The split was a big shock, but I accepted it and dealt with it," she says matter-of-factly. "I moved on. My mum was the same when she split up with my dad - she moved straight on.

"It was Pete who wanted to end it. I would never, ever have ended our marriage. Never, ever. I would have always given it a go. We tried counselling, but it didn't work. I suppose it's a relief that I'm out of it now. And I'm not going back."

Is it true that she hasn't cried about the break-up? Katie shakes her head. "I did my crying within the marriage. The amount of times I'd call my mum...," she says, then trails off.

'I'm no angel - but I'm not a bad person'

Katie also had no control over the miscarriage she suffered just days before the split.

"I lost the baby," she says quietly. "Four days later, I ran the London Marathon bleeding. A week later I was getting divorced. It's not right for a man to leave a woman after they've just lost a baby, after seeing a picture in a paper that triggers them to leave."

She's referring to photos of her drunken night out in a Bristol club with dressage coach Andrew Gould, 29. Both Katie and Andrew, who is married with two children, have always maintained their relationship is platonic, nothing more. So was it really a picture that caused her split with Peter?

"I haven't got anything against Pete. I will always love him"

"No, of course it wasn't," says Katie. "I know why we divorced, but it's such a stupid thing. I'm not saying I'm an angel. But I know I'm not a bad person."

How did things go so wrong with Pete?

"There's just one word for it - jealousy. Jealousy killed my relationship."

She pauses for breath for the first time. She doesn't want to reveal the exact incident that led to the divorce, but it seems she feels that Pete was the controlling one in the relationship - or at least he tried to be. Because he had a bad reaction to alcohol when he was young - it brought on a panic attack - Katie says he was phobic about her drinking. He also hated going out to clubs. As a result, there was a lot of pressure on Katie to be someone she wasn't.

"Pete is the only guy who has ever been annoyed with me drinking," she says. "When I was with Pete, I didn't go out because it would cause an argument and I couldn't be bothered to argue.

"In the past he was my perfect partner, my prince. But we didn't get on - the fairy tale ended. He was a lovely guy when I was with him. I don't know the Pete he is now. When I met him he owned a gym in Cyprus. Did he forget where he came from?"

Katie always comes across as tough, but during the interview her barriers drop, and at times she seems vulnerable and a little lost. It's clear the cold, steely front is a shield she uses to protect herself from being heartbroken and hurt all over again. But, in true Katie style, she insists heartbreak and pain have only made her stronger.

"People need to be heartbroken," she says. "People need to hurt to know how to make themselves strong. I've been hurt in the past. That's probably why I dealt with the Pete thing so well. I never trust a man 100 per cent. I don't think anyone should."

Trust is a word that comes up time and again in the interview. That, and moving on. Even though the couple will soon have their divorce finalised, there is still speculation that once the tempers have died down the warring pair could be reunited once more. Katie shakes her head.

"I will never go back. If it didn't work the first time, it's not going to work again," she says. "I'll find someone else to connect with.

"I've been reading that people say I should take time out before meeting someone. But if something feels right, I'm going to go for it. I could be dead tomorrow, so I live each day for the day."

'I'm happy with Alex'

Katie says things are more than right with her new love, cage fighter Alex Reid, 34. They met at Michelle Heaton's 30th birthday party in July and have been inseparable ever since.

"I'm happy with Alex," she says. "We clicked immediately. I like him around me. I love his family and he gets on with mine. He's perfect for me, although I'm not saying that marriage or children are on the cards. He's really committed to what he does and I love that about him."

Alex is in the kitchen making a healthy stir-fry involving ginseng imported from China. He seems quiet, friendly and, she says, he's kind to her.

"I'm not going to choose somebody who satisfies everybody else's needs," Katie explains. "If he ticks my boxes and my kids like him, then that's all I'm worried about. I've introduced him to my children and my family. He's not the man he's made out to be."

Katie sharing a kiss with lover Alex Reid

Alex recently came under fire for shooting a violent sex scene which seemingly glorified rape for an adult movie called Killer Bitch. The furore surrounding this prompted Katie to defend him - and to reveal for the first time that she had been raped more than once when she was younger. She says the attacks didn't leave any lasting emotional scars, but I can't help thinking that's just another terrible hurt that she had to get over by putting up another wall. She certainly craves love and affection and, despite being a woman who is entirely self-made, she loves being part of a couple. Another contradiction.

"I can be a bitch when it comes to business," she admits. "I know what I want - I'm very stern. But in a relationship I'm very needy. I want to be touched, loved, treated like cotton wool. But I'm not the kind of girl to just go out and sleep with guys. Love is more important to me. I want to snuggle up on the sofa with somebody - I like having someone there.

"It would be quite easy for me to not be in a relationship. But I just like the feeling of being in one. I'm a good girlfriend or wife. I would do anything for my other half..."

This seems at odds with the tough woman she's often portrayed as. Does she like to be the person who loves more or who is loved more?

"I hope it would be equal. I would say Pete and I loved each other the same, definitely. But obviously that wasn't right."

She seems to make a clear definition between sex and love. Is sex important to you in a relationship? "To me the perfect relationship is with someone who is honest, reliable and can be your best friend," she says. "When you're first with someone, of course sex is the thing. But when you're in a relationship, it isn't the main thing. You've got to mentally stimulate each other. It's not about sex, it's about being soulmates."

'I think Pete still has feelings for me'

Underneath the fire and ice, Katie wants the fairy tale - to fall in love and live happily ever after.

"I fall in love quite easily," she says.

She won't say whether or not she's told Alex she loves him, even though he's admitted to telling her every day.

"I don't use those words just for anything," she explains. "I say them if I mean it. I don't overkill. Pete and I always said it to each other."

Do you think Pete still loves you? "You'll have to ask him. What I reckon is that it's all backfired on him, which is why he doesn't want to see me - because he's still got feelings. I'm the one who's been dumped, yet I'm quite happy to sit in a room with him and talk about the kids, no hard feelings. But he doesn't seem to want to sit in a room with me."

Katie out with Alex

At the moment the couple are only communicating through lawyers. "We don't speak at all. It's very expensive, such a waste of money. The last time I saw him was when I dropped the kids off, but he was really cold towards me."

Remnants of her marriage to Peter can still be seen around the house. Above the front door there's a pink clock with 'Price Andre Co' written on the face and on the mantelpiece in the cinema room are two marble casts of Katie and Peter's faces with the date they married - September 10, 2005.

What Alex thinks of these constant reminders is anyone's guess. But he seems to feel completely at home in Katie's house - padding around in shorts and a T-shirt and asking the handymen to wire up a DVD player in the gym.

She credits Alex's diet and fitness regime as the inspiration for her own bid to get fit and healthy. She says that she's giving up clubbing and boozing as part of a "human experiment".

"I made a pact with myself that I'm not going out for a month. I'm challenging myself," she says. "I'm bored with going out now. Alex is like a medicine cabinet, all the vitamins he takes. He sees a Chinese doctor. I told Alex I'm going to make myself a guinea pig for a month. I'm going to eat the healthy food, take vitamins and see what difference it makes. So clubs and kebabs, as lovely as they are, are not going to happen."

Katie in Ibiza with Anthony Lowther, who she was rumoured to have got up close and personal with

Contrary to her party-girl image, Katie insists her ideal night is sitting in the bath reading horse magazines, having cups of tea, biscuits and crumpets with Marmite.

Her size 8 body bears no evidence of that, or the roast dinners she loves cooking, but that's because she likes to train. Hard. Mostly it's boxing or running.

"When I'm training I say to myself: 'Bikini. Body.' I've had three kids but I want to have perfect abs," she explains.

She says she's recently gained about 7lb, but that's because she's happy. Her least favourite body part is the index finger on her left hand. "I had cancer in it and a lump was taken out so now it looks like a Nic Nac and there's a scar."

She admits that dying is the only thing she's scared of. "Not just dying - how I'm going to die. It terrifies me."

And, although she tries to brush it off, she reveals that doctors have called her in for tests to ensure the cancer hasn't come back or spread.

"I'm going for a body scan because my doctor told me I need to be checked to make sure there's nothing else in my body," she says quickly. Is she scared? "You can't think like that, can you?" she says.

'I hope we can be friends one day'

On the morning of the shoot, Katie's not wearing any make-up. Her skin is tanned but, minus the false eyelashes and thick eyeliner, she looks younger than 31. And she says she's steering clear of more surgery, for the time being at least.

"Everyone gets old. It's nice to have a few little wrinkles, but at the moment I choose to have Botox to freeze my face because I love it," she says with typical contrariness. "I'm happy with my boobs now. I wanted them bigger, so I got them done. Then I had them made smaller. I don't need any more surgery. If I have another three or four kids I might have another boob job. My old implants are in a drawer upstairs. I'm going to put a pair on eBay to raise money for charity."

She gives me a little guided tour of her tattoos. She has her children's initials on her neck, a bow on her foot, hearts that were for Pete, Harvey and Junior, a crown on her wrist that's also the logo on her clothes range and her pink horsebox. Pete's name sits above, with a newly inked cross through it. She points out: "I didn't cross him out completely because he's still in my life and I hope one day we could get on and have a laugh.

"He used to be the love of my life. I haven't got anything against him. He's the father of my children - I will always love him because of that."

Contrary to reports, she says she's pleased Peter's TV career is taking off.

"I think it's really good he's the showbiz reporter for This Morning. Maybe he can interview me on the red carpet. I'm sure we'll have lots to discuss!" We laugh.

With Peter, Junior, Harvey and Princess

"I hope we get on for the kids' sake," she adds. "I'd do anything for my children. Absolutely anything. They're the most important thing in my life. No one comes near that and no one ever will."

She assures me she's not pregnant now, but says: "I do want another three or four children eventually.

Katie admits her miscarriage with Peter was not the first and that she's lost babies before. In a recent interview, he revealed they lost a baby before they had Princess.

"Anyone who has had miscarriages knows they've happened for a reason. It's nature's way - it wasn't meant to be. But I've got three beautiful kids and I will have more children," she says.

Do you think your marathon training brought on the miscarriage?

"No," she says emphatically. "The doctor said it was stress. He said once your body is used to that exercise it only reacts badly if you introduce a new thing. So I know it wasn't that. I hated the filming in Malibu [for Katie & Peter: The Next Chapter Stateside]. I hated the whole trip. So, yes, it could have been the stress."

'My kids are so precious to me'

It's when she's talking about her children that Katie softens and almost appears vulnerable. How are they coping with their parents' split? Katie pauses, careful with her words.

"Pete has a different routine with the kids and there's nothing I can do about that. It's affected Junior because Pete does different things with him. He gets agitated and when he comes back he's really clingy with me," she says.

"Princess is my little diva. I play with her hair and nails - she's perfect. Harvey is so very special to me. Because his own dad isn't around he still calls Pete 'Dad', but Pete won't see him as much. Not by choice, but we won't go into that."

For the first time she sounds wistful when she says: "The kids will always be in Pete's life. No one can take away the fact that Pete is their dad. The kids will always love Pete. He should know I wouldn't let just anyone around the kids. They're too precious."

Katie and her disabled son Harvey, whose father is former footballer Dwight Yorke, have an extreme bond. He was born with septo-optic dysplasia, a condition affecting the growth-regulating pituitary gland in his brain, and also has autism. I witness their connection first-hand when Katie arrived for the interview. They got out of the car and Harvey had to open the doors, all of them. Then he had to have a banana on his blue plate and cut it up into 20 pieces. It's part of the obsessive compulsive disorder that can come with autism.

"Harvey is happy as long as he's got his cake and every time he has a cake he'll sing happy birthday to it. That's his routine," Katie explains.

She doesn't waste a minute feeling sorry for herself. She's not a victim. She never complains about Harvey's disability. She is not a complainer. Sometimes, to her detriment, she comes over as too strong, too steely and too cold. But at the end of our interview we get a sense of the inner Katie, and some of her struggles. As well as some of her triumphs.

By Saira K.. Posted October 14 2009 at 10:19 PM.

I was only a fan of KP when she was with Pete. She has just reverted back to Jordan. For all those that slate Pete... Why don't you look into the reasons why he left her in the first instance. There's plenty of them. They're not officially divorced yet so there was plenty of time to work things out. Jordan just chose not to with her actions. You can say you love someone and you're sorry but actions speak a thousand words. There was Dane, then 2 guys in Ibiza, now Alex...how can you repair a relationship when there are so many other people involved?

By Bea.. Posted October 14 2009 at 4:59 PM.

Where did katie get her black sequense dress??
where can i get 1??

Enough of the Katie Price already. Does anyone still believe a word this woman says? Or care?

By Dave.. Posted September 29 2009 at 1:44 PM.

She chose Andrew Gould over her husband and family. Now she can ride with him to her hearts content - with not so pretty Polly and Lurch cheering them on! Yuck!

By suzy.. Posted September 26 2009 at 12:53 PM.

By ebe.. Posted September 26 2009 at 12:35 AM.

it really makes me laugh how people judge katie when they dont even know her on a personal level!!!

on the next chapter she was a stroppy moo but lets be honest what woman isn't!! no girlfriend or wife is perfect!! my bloke puts up with me because he loves me!!!! pete left katie when he did to promote himself and his album, he was a nothing when he went into the jungle and everyone used to take the mick out of him!!!

By Kelly marie.. Posted September 24 2009 at 7:09 PM.

Pete is such the nicer person. not because he dont drink. not because he does stuff with the kids(well maybe) but because he aint dissing katie he's just moving on and not fussing about the past which is all katie is doing.

GO TEAM PETE KEEP YOUR HEAD UP AND GREAT PERFORMANCE IN HULL. YOU ROCK XXXXX...C...XXX

By c1oel4.. Posted September 24 2009 at 6:50 PM.

If Pete was such a difficult husband why did Jordan issue this statement immediately they split?

"Pete is the love of my life - and my life. We have children together and I am devastated and disappointed by Peter's decision to separate and divorce me - as I married him for life. This is not what I want and the decision has been taken out of my hands. I will not comment further or do any interviews regarding the separation. But I will always love my Pete."

Note the "no further interviews", which she also said on the Piers Morgan interview. What a liar!

By suzy.. Posted September 24 2009 at 6:06 AM.

ONE THING PUBLIC GETTING WRONG is: blaming Katie on the split.....
ONE THING PUBLIC GETTING WRONG is:thinking Andre is the innocent 1...
ONE THING PUBLIC NEED TO THINK ABOUT is: Andre left HIS WIFE & KIDS when he got his album deal....
SO WHO'S THE ATTENTION SEEKING HYPOCRITE !!!!!

By Janet Rowan.. Posted September 23 2009 at 2:14 AM.

I feel so sorry for the kids that are stuck between all this mess. Seeing there mum mashed up on the front covers of papers and seeing there dad upset. There both selfish!

By kelly Hayes.. Posted September 22 2009 at 1:39 PM.

Bored of these two now, grow up & think of your kids. . . Love the boots Katies wearing on the cover where are they from?

TEAM KATIE! PETER SUCKS!!!!

By Carty.. Posted September 21 2009 at 9:38 PM.

Pete Andre is a street angel and a house devil

By Mo.. Posted September 21 2009 at 8:13 PM.

I'm sorry, but do any of you people actually know Katie Price or Peter Andre personally? Spent a long time with any of them? No? Then butt out, because untill then you have no right to assume anything about people you dont even know. Get a life.

By stacie.. Posted September 21 2009 at 5:28 PM.

To be honest, they are normal people who go through normal things. 45% of all marriges in the UK will end in divorce. I dont think you should be taking sides. Peter is a lovely man and divoting dad and Katie is a nice person and a good mum. Like she has sed in her inteviews a first biography she has gone through alot of things and it made her tougher. She has been dumped before and had her emotions toyed with. She may not seem like she care about splitting with peter but i think she did. Yes she went parting becasue she was told in her marrige by pete she couldnt and i can see why pete said she couldnt because of his panic attack. He loved her and it worried him, because she changes when she drinks the real kate comes out.
Give her a break will you!
She came out about her rape to stick up for alex.
It wasnt for sympathy. You ask for the real Katie and when she does an interview and tells how she feels you slate her.

By Jamie-lea.. Posted September 21 2009 at 4:59 PM.

I am behind Katie all the way! She is my role model.I would love to be like her ; so glamourous and gorgeous! I cant Believe how glamourous she is! I love her so much!!
I don't believe all the magazines making her sound like the bad one and making pete sound like the angel. Well, all i can say is Katie I Love You So Much!!!

By Beth ♥.. Posted September 21 2009 at 4:59 PM.

Katie is just a cheap attention seeking moo,cant wait till the pete one tells the full story

By truth.. Posted September 21 2009 at 12:12 PM.

She looks like a drag queen version of Noel Fielding

IF KATIE PRICE HAD LISTENED TO THE SONG 'DISTANCE' ON PETE'S ALBUM THEY'D BE TOGETHER TODAY!

By Bea.. Posted September 21 2009 at 8:14 AM.

Katie Price makes me sick. She really needs to get over herself, realise playing games got her into this mess and its probably time to stop now. If you are married to someone and you knew you were doing things to upset them why would you keep doing it? Sooner or later Peter was always going to walk. Using being dumped as an excuse to go to Ibiza and get on it - unbvelievable. Sounds like shes had a great mother for an example too. Apples dont fall far from trees. He deserves better than that trash.

By Jen.. Posted September 21 2009 at 4:54 AM.

Why is she STILL slating Peter? Can't she say something nice about him for a change. I wish she'd stop playing "Well he dumped me..." card, it's getting pretty old now. I honestly don't think Peter would of finished it with her over something like jealously especially after losing their baby, she's yet again trying to make him look bad to make herself look like a victim. I don't blame him for leaving her, she treated him so badly, and no he isn't using the children to gain fans or whatever Katie, atleast he's WITH the children, alot more than you i'm afraid, you're too busy with your career and new man to spend time with them. Peter is a lovely guy and i just cannot see him doing what she's saying he's doing he doesn't come across like that at all, he's too genuwine. She knows she's hated now and is trying everything to win back fans, she has to use her words wisely, why can't you respect Peter and keep your lips shut? Peter is trying his best but you keep sending him repeated blows. What happened is between you two why can't you keep it that way? Exactly, you Katie lovers are niave.

By Charlotte.. Posted September 21 2009 at 12:36 AM.

OMG!!! How stupid are you people? This is obviously a carefully constructed piece designed to portray Katie in a positive way while chipping away at Pete!

Katie Price is a devious media-manipulating person who doesn't focus on her kids she's just selfish, bossy and manipulative.

Wake up people!

By sally.. Posted September 20 2009 at 11:57 PM.

Can't believe the utter tripe being written on this thread. The one duping you lot is Katie.

Haven't you noticed that the only folks interested in having anything to do with Katie in media are tabloids & downmarket shows. She is back in the gutter - exactly where she was when she met Pete. If anyone saw Jonathan Ross he made it clear exactly what he thought of the her. Likewise many others over recent weeks. She is going to find many doors shut to her now as they are not going to want to be associated with such a tawdry character. Suppose she will fit in well on Jeremy Kyle..

Pete in a few short months has lifted himself up into the sphere of 'real' celebrity. Just sit back & watch his success - in tv rather than music I expect.

By Lynne.. Posted September 21 2009 at 12:09 AM.

team pete all the way.kp should remember,the public had a soft spot for her when she married Pete.now they are apart,the public is back to hating her.she cant change that.all these interviews is seeking sympathy as far as i know.i for one read it out of curousity for what mess she is up to again.Good luck pete.

By oby.. Posted September 21 2009 at 12:09 AM.

lynda camps i totally agree with you!its sooo clear these two still have feelings for one another.we need to remember aswell that pete's 5 years older,thats 5 years extra of being free and single to get it out of his system.its only now he feels his maturity has set in.if they have feelings its worth trying again for the sake of their kids.maybe if he see's alex playing games with his kids on katie's show on thursday,it might change his mind.yes there has been a lot going on in between,most of it made up by the press,but now the dynamic of their relationship is more equal,with them doing things separately instead of being together 24/7.couples where one of them has had an affair can work things out,so maybe pete could overlook katie's relations since he dumped her,after all-they were on a break.being honest most women where their husbands leave want to show them what their missing by making them jealous,and the fact pete refused to speak to her pushed her into doing more and more crazy things.they both have mood swings and ego's but most of all they have got 3 young kids together,thats more important than pride and career's.

Katie Price looks fantastic in the photos!!. As for Peter Andre, he is a fake and deeply flawed man. Leaving Katie because he was unhappy is one thing but his behaviour afterwards and the manner in which he has conducted himself is shameful. She may be brash and a exhibitionist and be acting out because she is hurt but he is the one using the break up to promote his album and himself. Her behaviour gets her in trouble but his managment use it to make him seem perfect but he is far from it. There are far more pictures of him in the press with his kids than there is of Katie with them. Peter Andre thinks he is a nice person but his behaviour says otherwise.

By Teesee.. Posted September 20 2009 at 11:10 PM.

Starting to see right through Peter, must admit was team Pete originally but not any more. Respect to the man that fights for his marriage rather than his album,,,,sick of seein him on the tele. Blame the managers myself hes brainwashed. Katie has never changed not perfect but wot ya see is wot ya get. Pete does still care but is obviously under instruction not to talk to her........how sad!

By becky.. Posted September 20 2009 at 9:53 PM.

Love the pics Katie! Reading the comments on here it is clear u r supported more than u think.......much respect for the chin up attitude as its clear how much ur hurting..........Pete put the media and fame aside and go fight for ur familyxxxxx

By becky.. Posted September 20 2009 at 10:25 PM.

She'll never find anyone like Pete. Pete was amazing even throughout her tantrums esp on her 30th birthday.

By emma.. Posted September 20 2009 at 10:22 PM.

It just anoys me when katie always says in her interview Pete only got famous because of her and he worked / owned a gym he has been around a long time as an artist / musician . Team andre all the way !!!!

By Erica.. Posted September 20 2009 at 10:16 PM.

Have loved Pete ever since I watched him in the Jungle. He wears his heart on his sleave. Have never been able to work Katie Price/ Jordan out. She's very strange and always contradicts herself.

By Bea.. Posted September 20 2009 at 10:12 PM.

pete is so boring to watch, he just mopes and moans when it is his fault, katie is doing the right thing by moving on, she is young so why should she not go out and have fun, you only live once and shes so true about how she could die tommorrow, you never know when your time is up so make the most of it, katie is genuine what you see is what you get pete is just vain and putting on a front to try and win viewers with the sympathy vote. yeah katie might be putting on a storong front but shes not doing it to get fans cause she would probably act like someoneelse if she wasnt, if he ended it with her what is his problem?! team katie all the way!

By jess.. Posted September 20 2009 at 9:51 PM.

Fab to read an article that isnt slaughtering poor Katie to bits, great pics............also great to see the country is starting to feel how I did regarding Pete being the puppet on a string to his management company......the company that only manage 3 celebs pete, chantelle and nicola mclean who were only signed once katie was off the books and who have also ripped her to bits in the media since.....I was always Petes fan but saw through it all from day one. Disgusted by his disclosure about the text messages, didnt take long for him to forget his principles. Her behaviour has been questionable but more so an inability to cope.
Standing by you all the way Katiexxxx

By Catherine Mc Dyre.. Posted September 20 2009 at 9:17 PM.

stuff pete to be honest.. i think hes lost out here i really admire how strong katie is being for the sake of her children considering shes been dumped after three and a half years id be really upset... well done katie :) x

By ash :).. Posted September 20 2009 at 9:12 PM.

I ADORE THE BOOTS ON THE FRONT COVER OF THE MAGAZINE! WHERE DID YOU GET THEM FROM..... ITS A 'LUSH HAVE'! EMAIL ME BACK PLEASE.. :)

By Emily.. Posted September 20 2009 at 7:30 PM.

If Pete is such a saintly person why couldn’t he forgive Katie however heinous her supposed crime against him was... after all Cheryl Cole forgave Ashley and he’d embarrassed and humiliated her beyond belief...and not only is she one of the most beautiful women in the UK but one of the nicest (like Pete portrays). It would have been much easier for Cheryl to have walked...but she stayed sighting her marriage vows etc. She had no children either to consider. She could have anyone and I think showed real dignity. Unlike Pete who I think is very manipulative indeed

By rowena cherry.. Posted September 20 2009 at 8:08 PM.

Love the boots!!!

By Jules.. Posted September 20 2009 at 6:27 PM.

I think Claire the Manager pushed through the press release re their split for her own agenda...and basically put Pete in to a media corner... if she hadn't interfered so quickly they probably be still together. What couple hasn't rowed with one partner flouncing out for a day or two then after reflection kissed and made up afterwards

By pamela hart.. Posted September 20 2009 at 6:37 PM.

I think pete always played up to the cameras pretending to be smart, an he just seems really needy...with his 'oh I love u, now say it back attitude.... I'm sure he's a nice guy but I think ur much better without him, he wasn't enough man for u in my opinion!! TEAM KATIE!!!!

By Dd.. Posted September 20 2009 at 6:08 PM.

i love you guys i hope that you and alex are very happy and pete your albumdgreat and move on just like katie has

By sam.. Posted September 20 2009 at 5:24 PM.

So true Natalie. He new exactly what he was doing and he is playing the game of how much can i hurt you. It was so nice to read an interview that didnt say anything negative about her and was just a straight forward true interview. Well done Fabmag

By kat.. Posted September 20 2009 at 5:11 PM.

Its a womans individual choice on whether she reports a rapist or not. Talking from experience we owe it to ourselves first to make the right decision for us and our family.Everyones coping mechanism is different. Having been raped by 3 different people when i was aged 12, 19 and 27 and not reporting any was my choice and i have no regrets. For me to cope mentally with the attacks i have chose to do what is right for me. When i had councilling later in life when it was clear i was putting on a front (like Katie) it became evident that it is very very difficult to get a conviction so long after the attacks. Katie would be hauled through a traumatic court case with the likelyhood of a sentence at the end of it very unlikely. The other factor is that so many people hate her at the moment they would all probably believe the rapist. I for what its worth believe that SHE has been raped and that is exactly why she is an exhibitionist and likjes to be in control (very similar to myself) This also results in us putting ourselves in vulnerable situations and not showing our feelings. Give her a bit of slack and take a closer look at her other half who cant open his mouth without permission from his manager. At least Katie says it like it is even if she does put her foot in it sometimes.

By Kat.. Posted September 20 2009 at 5:08 PM.

i think kate, should reallize, she is just living a lie, when the smoke clears she will, admitt she still loves pete, and she will feel his hurt, when he finds someone else, and is planning his wedding,

By joanwilkes.. Posted September 20 2009 at 5:17 PM.

i still love you PETER AND KATIE why dont you try and sort things out witout the camera,for the sake of LOVE don,t do it because of the kids or else you will never be HAPPY xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

By fattu.. Posted September 20 2009 at 4:33 PM.

I really admire how strong Katie has been throughout all this. She's been handling it great, she'd be no use to anyone of all she did was tell the papers how much she loved and missed Peter, she wouldn't be strong for the kids, who at the moment need her more than anything. If she did mope around then the press would slate her and tell her that she is using publicity. Katie can't do right for doing wrong, so she does what's best for her. I really admire Katie, I think she is a truly amazing woman and a brilliant role model for all girls and women.

By Amanda .. Posted September 20 2009 at 4:58 PM.

if you locked katie and pete in a room for 24hours......i think things would be very different, they clearly have deep routed feelings for each other, and need to be together for their sake and the childrens....they still should be a family... if alex cant see that he's a bigger fool than he looks......he is not what she needs.......

By lynda camps.. Posted September 20 2009 at 4:48 PM.

i feel like i want to give katie a huge hug.i think she needed one right now. i knew long along she is the one who need to be sided to.Katie if only i can talk to you eye to eye, i would say dont give a monkey to all the stories around you.just focus on your kids step back from the limelight, and sack your bad pr's.they just parasites.
be strong, keep smiling,look to the future with positive manner.ok. take care

By jasmine.. Posted September 20 2009 at 4:46 PM.

I liked Katie and Peter as a couple. It is truly ashame that they are both too selfish to work out their difficulties, putting the children first and their pettiness second.

For those that watched the show, she treated him horribly on many of occassions and to a level of almost humiliating him. Great to have a strong personality, but not at the expense of someone else's self esteem.

It is also okay to move on and live each day for that day, but come on, there should be a time where, if a long term relationship does not work out, it is wise to take time out to be BY YOURSELF. Maybe work on some issues you have within you and not depend on someone else to fill a void for you. It is also a good idea to be with your children and not be with another man, working on a new relationship when the children are going to have to adjust to both their father being gone and a new man being around.

I do not dislike Katie at all, but I do think she is being a bit selfish, especially when it comes to her needs. What about her children's needs and the need for their father to be in their lives as much as before?

By dominique.. Posted September 20 2009 at 4:55 PM.

I have to laugh at all the idiots who are saying Ooh er Pete still loves her, because he hesitated when JR asked him if he would ever go back to her. Sure he hesitated, because he was gobsmacked at such a stupid question. When he got his breath back he then said "Are you serious? Never!! And why would he, he`s finally being allowed to be himself.

By ellie.. Posted September 20 2009 at 4:51 PM.

i think that sometimes pete is made out to be the good person and katie is made out to be a bad person when she reallys not and at the end of the day they are both the same so people should not make them out to be somethink there not !

By stacey .. Posted September 20 2009 at 3:35 PM.

Team Katie. The End!

By Emma Edwards.. Posted September 20 2009 at 3:34 PM.

Kate... I admire "your front" but be realistic that's all it is BLUFF AND SWAGGER....Pete broke your heart and there is no shame in showing weakness. You made your own self fulfilling prophecy by the way you have acted and been portrayed within that marriage. Pete let you dig the hole and watched you fall straight in!
Concentrate on your children and stop the interviews for a while – you are becoming over exposed and you risk all you have worked for over the years. Get yourself a top notch PR team. Claire was obviously a genius and for whatever reason has dumped you but she is not the only PR guru in the business. Notice how all the audience on Jonathan Ross booed you until mention of the text you sent and they all arg’hd. Start thinking smart and stop lumbering around doing silly interviews. I think Pete should be renamed “Pete The Creep” as he doesn’t fool me!

By harri.. Posted September 20 2009 at 3:46 PM.

I think Pete did the right thing by leaving if only to give Katie a jolt she needed to realize things between them were not going well.It was a good idea for Peteto buy a property near by but I think instead of divorce Pete should have just said lets try living apart,remain friends,go out on dates as if we had just met and see how things pan out with some space between us.Instead revenge seemed to be the only thing on her mind,how dare he dump her,she is the one who shot herself in the foot with her reaction.......oh Katie you fool.

By Jacqueline.. Posted September 20 2009 at 3:52 PM.

katie and pete are really needingto meet face to face to discuss their feelings towards themselves.personally i think pete went too far and really hoped theywould have got back together but he really cant just blame katie its down to jealousy as she stated.i stillthink their needing that final talk for both their sakes. good luck to them whatever they do.

By may hemphill.. Posted September 20 2009 at 3:26 PM.

I have always admired you Jordan as a model and as a good old English gal!! and I have always watched all of your reality shows including the later ones with Pete. Now that you are not together, why should I be interested in him? Next!!!!!

By Scarlett.. Posted September 20 2009 at 3:25 PM.

It does not matter , with the he said, she said bit.Divorce is a messy buisness, no matter what has happened or who´s at fault, and it ends up with point scoring, like these two are now......you have children, who need you both, stop and think about them and what they need 1st. Please think about what your doing and not your careers, point scoring or what people think, do what is right for your kids to get them thro this time and to keep them protected. I wish you both well its up to you two, together to limit the damage that divorce´s cause to you both and the children

By veronica burgess.. Posted September 20 2009 at 3:18 PM.

speaking from experience & being alone for the past 5+ yrs Im beter off on my own, nobody gets hurt, what about the children ? dont they suffer most ?, theres always two sides to each story........

By gordon.. Posted September 20 2009 at 2:39 PM.

I love Katie and Jordan but I think the divorce caught me off guard!

I think her breasts are too big though! What size is she?! I so want her bod though!!!!

Team katie all the way :-) love her all the way have done for years shes my idol. met her at big gay out in 2005 and hope shes happy in her life cos lifes what you make it.

By Marc Thomas.. Posted September 20 2009 at 2:00 PM.

Go and work things out with peter! You said you would do anything for your children! Its clear you both love each other!
sort it out away from the camera!

By raymond.. Posted September 20 2009 at 1:34 PM.

i dont care what everyone says about katie she is a nice sophisticated women that likes to have a bit of fun along the wayi know it is not right but if its not hurting any one else and she is happy let her be and act like she wants to she is my role model and i think she is awsome and her bf is hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By lucy brailsford.. Posted September 20 2009 at 1:21 PM.

Team Andre all the way.
She doesn't know what the truth is anymore and can't be believed.She is so vindictive to pete with Harvey, knowing how much pete loves him and for me, that's unforgiveable. She's messed up big time and she know it.
Love you pete and your album.

By liz.. Posted September 20 2009 at 1:00 PM.

Katie looks amazing in these photos, more super model than glamour model.
I am not a fan of her usual look, too over done in a bad way, but here she looks really edgy and could become a style icon to give Mrs Beckham a run for her money if she kept this look.

By Tamsin.. Posted September 20 2009 at 1:01 PM.

Katie, go get yo man! U need him as much as he needs u. U knw wat, Alex is there 4 fame. At least with Pete u complimented each other. Pete loves u. U wud know if u watched Jonathan Ross last Friday. My heart goes out yo u both. Still I'm hopefull u will b back 2 gether!

By Mandy wright.. Posted September 20 2009 at 12:38 PM.

By paula.. Posted September 20 2009 at 12:03 PM.

People should simply leave both katie and peter alone. Stuff gets written about them BOTH ......you shouldn't believe everything you read. It is their business and people should stop expressing their opinion. Worry about your own
Lives and let them deal with their own. It's wrong people say cruel things about them...we don't know them. I met peter yesterday at asda havant .....he refused to leave until he met us all...he's a genuine decent man. Rant over.

By kim.. Posted September 20 2009 at 12:07 PM.

I love you Katie no matter what. Because we are able to see the real you warts and all, there is no pretending. Pete I am not so sure. He shouldnt have left after you miscarried your baby. Its so hard for a woman to lose a baby and people dont realise how hard it can be on someone.

By adam.. Posted September 20 2009 at 11:42 AM.

i have always loved katie, and came to love pete. i think everyone should stop giving them both such a hard time!!!albeit more directed at katie, the only thing i dont agree with is pete not seein harvey as much as the other two since he has brought him up.but im not his mother so its not my decision to make. so stop being so nasty people!!!!

By kayleigh.. Posted September 20 2009 at 11:35 AM.

Katie Price destroyed her own marriage. Surely even she should know that.I am a mother and if it were my daughter behaving as she does I would have disowned her years ago. She is an absolute disgrace. Making all women and girls in general look cheap and nasty.

By Gill.. Posted September 20 2009 at 11:33 AM.

Jordan, try and learn by your mistakes (you are lately making many) instead of continuing to make them over and over again!!!!!! I was once a fan but not anymore.

By kay.. Posted September 20 2009 at 11:27 AM.

Fantastic photos!

Unfortunately Katie still has a lot to learn. The same contradiction that makes her say she would never have ended her marriage but is glad that it is over, is the same contradiction that could mean that Pete still loves her but realises that he can not be with her. A bitter pill for all to swallow.

That said, his reaction to their situation suggests a bit more maturity and self assessment.

By Jo.. Posted September 20 2009 at 11:17 AM.

I have begun to realise that we have been manipulated by Pete & his management. Looking at this logically, he has been very cruel in his actions & although I was very against Katie initially & posted horrid comments online, I have begun to feel sorry for her. I think the truth will come out & I'm already getting sick of seeing Pete on every TV prog (Cookery yesterday!). Talk about overkill. It appears he will even go to the opening of an envelope! I am going to return his CD.

By Patricia.. Posted September 20 2009 at 11:16 AM.

When Pete left KP you should have laid low not going out partying and drinking and trying to make him jealous with other men (and what men!). I wouldn't be seen dead with them. Pete maybe and I say maybe might have come back to you. Now you have lost 2 things - a good husband and a good PR team. Pete did warn you that you were in for a shock and played his songs to you. You still didn't get the hints.

Now Pete has thousands of adoring fans, making millions and can get any woman he wants. Will he go back NOT ON YOUR LIFE

By Carole.. Posted September 20 2009 at 11:12 AM.

As a woman who has been raped, I have tried to stay away from reading Katies 'news'. Its beyond belief that she says she has no emotional scarring from it. How can a woman who has been through something so awful, minimalise it by not reporting it ,and by bringing it up to not help victims of rape, but defend a man who is in a film like he is. I feel sick, I think this woman needs serious pyschological help. Katie Price, there are women in this world that have had their life destroyed by rape, do the right thing for once in your lofe and report him. No-one needs a rapist roaming the streets.... and if its not true, I hope you regret your choice to lie about such a serious thing.

By Rachel.. Posted September 20 2009 at 11:10 AM.

What we have to remember is we dont know everything that went on. We only have t.v which can be edited and the newspapers that say what they like weather its true or not. Katie nad Peter are no more and thats it i think they both should get on with their lives and think about the kids. I feel deep down they still love each other but we will never no. One thing for sure that Alex Reid is not all that Katie can do so much better i feel he may be using her for publicity.

By Julie.. Posted September 20 2009 at 11:08 AM.

Katie you looked so vunerable in your show on thurs. We don't want you to sit at home crying but show your true feelings like you did at Gary's wedding. I think you still love Pete and he still loves you. I watched him on Rossy you could see the emotion in his face when he was asked about the txt, he also hesitated when asked if you would get back together, thats a man still in love. It might take time to sort things out but don't give up on each other. Great photos!

By tracy pip.. Posted September 20 2009 at 10:54 AM.

low,low,low-how is posible that people with such a small brine have so much money

By dominika ferdek.. Posted September 20 2009 at 10:54 AM.

I am one of the genral public who was a genuine fan of Katie prior to their split and like so many others I now view her in a totally different light. I see her now as a very unstable person displaying dangerously extreme contradictions which causes so much frustration. I think she really needs to be honest with herself, face her demons and move on properly.
I believe she is still reeling from Peter eventually standing up to her and leaving. She is a narcisist who is so used to getting her own way by surrounding herself with Yes people but ultimately it was her own reaction to this whole saga that has backfired on her not the other way round. She keeps making this stupid remark that he dumped her and is she supposed to wait for his permission to move on, what kind of stupid thinking is that? She just doesn't seem to get it, the question is how, if she was genuinely heartbroken, and after only five minutes, WANT To or have the desire to jump around in delight? It's pathetically obvious she wants to make Peter jealous. She's completely shot herself in the foot and only succeeded in convincing Peter that he had absolutely made the right decision. Of course he doesn't want to speak to her, who would after the way she's treated him. Jealousy was always a problem with the two but the jealousy on her side far outweighs his. I dread to think what she'll do when Peter genuinely falls in love again. She is still obsessed with him as she volunteers to talk about him all the time. He doesn't wish to speak about her but while he has to promote his work he is continually asked about her. The media war has been completely initiated by her. War is agression and the whole world can see that Peter is a non agressive person.
She asks does Peter forget where he came from as if he must be beholding to her. Her fame in the past few years is equally due to Peter being her husband and at the end of the day he is now actually shining through as the one with talent. He is a wonderfully natural presenter as well as an entertaining singer.
Katie continually minimises her part in the marriage breakdown, all part of narcissism, but unless she'll be honest with herself and admit that she is feeling humiliated, vulnerable and weak by what's happened and please stop trying to fool the public. Then and only then will she really have any chance of gaining public support and may even become friends with Peter one day.

By Helen.. Posted September 20 2009 at 10:48 AM.

By Bea.. Posted September 20 2009 at 10:25 AM.

her children will judge her themselves when they are old enough to watch the recordings of the shows, read all the articles, see all the pictures. to take a man into the marital bed so soon after their dad not being around is unforgivable, it will be the children whom she will have to answer to one day.

By chloe.. Posted September 20 2009 at 10:14 AM.

They have both done wrong,for example Pete leaving Katie days after her misscarrage and purposeley avoiding her . Then Kate selling her story about the rape and parting in ibiza all the time. But they both deserve a second chance and should keep the peace for their childrens sake .

By Georgia.. Posted September 20 2009 at 10:18 AM.

Pete loves Harvey like his own, yet in the interview she says that he will not be seeing so much of him now - not by choice - but she doesn`t want to go into that ! Poor little Harvey - how is he going to feel when his brother and sister go to be with their father and he is excluded. She is just so spiteful - Harvey is her ace card against Pete and she knows it and will play it - no matter how upset Pete and Harvey will be. Despicable woman.
