Katie Price: I want Peter Andre to see the girl he married
Updated 10:44am on 18 Nov 2009Katie Price said she hopes Peter Andre will watch I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! and see "the girl he married".
Not a monster: Katie Price insists she is still the same woman Pete met in the jungle
Price, who entered the jungle earlier this week, said of her ex-husband: "Hopefully he'll watch the show and realise what a decent person I am.
"The girl he married, not the monster that's been created in the press."

Speaking to OK! magazine, she continued: "The weird thing is that the Palazzo Versace hotel where all the contestants stay is about 10 minutes from where Pete's family live.
"I hope they watch the show too and think, that is the Kate we all know."
Price, who previously took part in the show in 2004, meeting and falling in love with Andre, said she became upset at trying on her jungle kit again.
She told the magazine: "I looked at myself in the mirror and first of all I felt really excited, but then I was quite sad.
"It brought back so many memories of Pete. It just hit me and I suddenly felt so upset about the way things turned out."
There was more upset in store for the glamour girl when she bailed out on a bushtucker trial which brought her face to face with her biggest fears.
Price, who reckons viewers want to see her "suffer", was forced to wriggle through a muddy, cockroach-infested shaft then plunge into a tank of water.
And she looked as though she was on the verge of vomiting as she pleaded to be pulled out of the gruelling challenge.
The model won just four meals for the 12 campers, at a time when dancer Camilla Dallerup is already struggling with the lack of food.
Quivering Price was fished out of the water by the show's medic Bob and appeared shaken.
"It's the water, I can't do it," she explained.
Afterwards she said: "That was awful. Oh my God, I thought I was going to drown. I'll have to do without dinner."
Before she started the challenge, she told presenters Ant and Dec she was "awful" in confined spaces, and claimed viewers had chosen her because "they obviously think I deserve to do an awful challenge".
Price apologised to her fellow campers for her performance.
"It's not good. You're going to starve," she said. "The fun starts now because you're going to be hungry. Sorry. It was a cave. It was slippery, gross. They had spiders, a sheet of cockroaches. Then a gush of water took me down and I couldn't breathe. I was shaking. It's the water. I can't do water. So I only got four stars."
Her efforts won a package of food which contained "tasty crocodile legs", but professional dancer Dallerup has already bemoaned the lack of nutrition, which is making her feel exhausted.
She said she was having difficulty summoning the energy to shower.
"It's not eating. Heat, I can deal with. I've got the highest metabolism of anyone I know. I feel useless being here so tired. You can't help anyone," she said.
One of the contestants will have to face a live bushtucker trial on tonight's show, producers revealed.

Andre knew only too well who he married,a very wealthy celebrity who in turn made him wealthy and a celebrity,well a 5th rate one who constantly craves the media, he gets migraines if there are no cameras around.He is a user and it suited him to dump her.
Jordan is anything you want her to be,hated comes to mind plus a lot more,however one thing she is good at is making vast ammounts of money , ITV know that and the mags know that,so if you are a voter or buy mags you are filling up her bank account,think about it.
Will she be voted out?I hope so but ITV need the money?

atie you have done nothing wrong, you were dumped, end off, these nasty comments about you are really just people angry at their own failed lives and they are transfering that hatred on to a public figure. Pete wanted fame maybe more than he wanted a life with you, nothing you can do about that. You will have a happy future unlike others whose karma will tip them up in time!

Even if Peter was watching, he won't see the girl he married, he'll see the skanky woman he divorced, thankfully. Peter has moved on and very happily too. She should do the same but she obviously can't get closure. She still seems VERY obsessed with Peter.

I think the problem lies in what happens to that girl when she gets back to the UK - and for that you only have yourself to blame Katie.....
