Katie Price’s sizzling jungle romance with Peter Andre – and the drama-filled marriage that followed – has gone down in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! history.
So it’s no surprise that Katie’s relationship with the Mysterious Girl crooner was the focus of her appearance on an ITV Special celebrating 20 years of the hit series on Sunday night.
Katie, now 42, admitted she didn’t just fall in love with Pete during their time in camp in 2004, she became ‘fixated’ on him.
She called their relationship a ‘proper love story’ as she looked back fondly on their early days together.
“I was just fixated on Pete. People saw our relationship develop,” she told the cameras.
“Having Pete there in the jungle did make it easier because you’d fall asleep thinking of him and wake up seeing him there.
If you haven’t clicked with someone in there I think it’s quite hard and lonely.
“It was a proper love story and I think me and Pete are the only ones who had kids come out of it,” she proudly declared.
Katie, who was better known as her glamour model alias ‘Jordan’ when she signed up to the show, said: “I was 23, I had no idea I’d go into the jungle and meet my husband.”
A throwback clip of Katie was then shown, declaring she would set her sights on Pete if she didn’t have a man waiting for her on the outside.
“I get on really well with Pete, he’d be the type of guy I’d go for, but I have a boyfriend,” cooed a young Katie, who was dating Scott Sullivan at the time.
As the footage replayed, host Ant McPartlin gasped: “She had a boyfriend – I’d forgotten that.”
After leaving camp, Katie swiftly ended things with Scott leaving her free to pursue her flirtation with pop star Pete.
A whirlwind romance followed with Pete popping the question just months later.
The loved-up pair then said ‘I do’ at Highclere Castle at what became one of the glitziest showbiz weddings of the decade in 2005.
However, just four years later it was all over for Katie and Pete, who confirmed their divorce in 2009.
Katie went on to marry cage fighter Alex Reid and later ex stripper Kieran Hayler, who she finalised her divorce from earlier this year.
