Price and cage fighter Alex split

24 Nov 2009


Katie Price revealed that she has split up with boyfriend Alex Reid after telling how her I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here! experience reminded her of Peter Andre.

The glamour girl, who walked out on the jungle after being repeatedly chosen for stomach-churning bushtucker trials by the public, told Ant and Dec her relationship with the cage fighter had ended and she was "happier".

But, speaking before Lucy Benjamin became the first celebrity to be voted off, Price told how she was leaving the show "with my head between my toes in shame".

Describing how the experience had brought back memories of her ex-husband, she said: "The whole place reminded me of Pete from the moment I woke up, the afternoon to the moment I went to sleep, every second it was Pete, Pete, Pete and although they were amazing, happy memories I had in there, I'd lie there and think those good memories are way gone but then I was still there with constant reminders of Pete, Pete, Pete, Pete.

"It was hard to deal with before I went in there, I thought I'll walk in there and either break down or deal with the closure. I walked in and they (the other celebrities) all welcomed me and it was so ironic that I had the same bed as last time; nobody wanted it because the bonfire smokes over it.

"That was really, really hard to deal with because waking up in the mornings I'd wake up and look over and think Peter's going to be there and then I'd be like, course Pete's not going to be there, I'm not with Pete any more."

When asked about her relationship with Reid, she said: "I'm not with him, no."

Former EastEnder Benjamin, meanwhile, took her exit well. After being told she had lost out to Samantha Fox and Gino D'Acampo in the public vote, she said: "I thought so. Someone had to go first. It's fine."

Price, a mother-of-three, said she had proved herself and was missing her children.
