Price 'devastated' at Andre split

Katie Price has said that her split from Peter Andre was "not what I want" but the decision was out of her hands.

The model said she was "devastated" by her husband's decision to divorce her but she would always love him.

Price, whose separation from the Australian singer was announced on Monday, said in a statement: "Pete is the love of my life and my life."

She continued: "We have children together and I am devastated and disappointed by his 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."

Her spokeswoman said Price has left the country with Junior and Princess, her children with Andre. Her eldest child Harvey, from a previous relationship, is being looked after by a nanny at home.

The spokeswoman would not disclose Price's destination.

The couple have been married for three-and-a-half years and found romance on the reality TV show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!.

Their separation was announced in a joint statement which made no mention of plans to divorce.

The couple are known for their blazing rows, which have often been caught on camera for their ITV fly-on-the-wall shows.
