Katie Price falls victim to 'phantom hugger' fan

Katie Price was accosted by the "Phantom Hugger" as she returned to her hotel last night. Luckily she had her cage fighter boyfriend Alex Reid to protect her. The 31-year-old glamour girl was grabbed by a fan who has a bit of form.

Calm before the storm: Jordan before the hugging incident

The bandana-wearing woman has forced her way into a clinch with X Factor judge Louis Walsh on a number of occasions. We thought she only had Irish eyes for the diminutive Louis — so it was a bit of a shock when she fancied a bit of Jordan too.

UGGH! The Phantom Hugger homes in on Jordan

We put two and two together and realised that we had a new London character on our hands.

THWACK! Alex Reid's cage-fighting techniques fail

But, before you could shriek "Who can stop the Phanton Hugger of old London town?", muscle-man Alex leapt into action and instinctively stuck an arm up when she lunged in. However, the Phantom Hugger deftly ducked the blocking move and zeroed in on her target. Alex finally managed to pry the enthusiastic woman off Jordan and the couple made a hasty retreat into their hotel.

Katie and Alex were on their way back from the wedding of her make-up artist Gary Cockerill to Phil Turner at Syon House in Brentford. They looked happy despite claims that she is ready to dump Alex for acting like a lapdog on their Spanish holiday last week.
