Katie Price and Peter Andre divorced in 'one' minute

Updated 11:50am on 8 Sep 2009


The three-year marriage of Katie Price and Peter Andre came to an end in just over a minute today
at London's High Court.

The glamorous showbiz couple became just the second to last names on a list of 21 seeking a "quickie divorce".

After the names were read out, District Judge Bradley pronounced decrees nisi and later divulged that both parties had cross- petitioned
on the grounds of unreasonable behaviour.

Happier days: Katie Price and Peter Andre
The judge said none of the papers involved would be released because Andre's lawyers had made an application to keep them confidential until a full hearing into whether they should be made public.

Price, 31, also known as glamour model Jordan, and singer Andre, 36, chose to divorce each other, filing cross decrees under "Price K v Andrea PJ" - Andre's real name.

The pair married in 2005 after meeting as contestants on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! the year before.

They went on to star together in a series of reality shows for ITV2.

They have two children together - son Junior, four, and daughter Princess Tiaamii, two.

Price also has a son, Harvey, aged seven, with footballer Dwight Yorke.

There is to be a hearing in front of the same judge their afternoon when Andre's lawyers will argue that the papers in the case should not be released.

Who actually wrote the books??? They will be with someone else tomorrow.
Lets hope that is the last we hear of them. They were living in a dream world!
It is the children who one has to feel sorry for!

They share one brain cell between them so this divorce will be particularly difficult for both parties.

Best move for years Pete.What she really needed was a personality transplant.
The PR guff was "feisty and independant" when she was just wilful and selfish. At least your career is ahead of you!

I'm devastated. I always thought this was a match made in Heaven and that they would be together forever. They were so well suited and really deserved each other. Oh well never mind. Maybe Jordan will get them out a bit more often now.

Why should there be such trash everyday? Please go away. They are doing a poor imitation of Charles and Diana.

Sad. Sad that the media are still wasting column inches on attention seeking has-been pop stars and former glamour models whose lives are just one big reality TV show watched by teenage girls. Isn't there more important things to report about?
