Rebuilding their relationship: Peter Andre and Katie Price plan to become closer for the sake of the children

By Holly Thomas


Building bridges: Katie Price and Peter Andre, who split in 2009 after four years of marriage, have decided to become closer again for the sake of their children


Formerly embattled exes Peter Andre and Katie Price are finally taking steps to rebuild their shattered relationship for the sake of their children.

The pair insist that the move is not a romantic one, though there will undoubtedly be speculation given their emotional past.

Despite years of public tension, the exes agreed to work things out following a series of phone calls.


'They're ready to move forward together and have discussed being seen in public again,' a family friend told The Sun.

'It'll be day trips with the children — working things out generally and taking those important steps to improve the relationship.'

'It's not romantic — but they know there will be speculation.'

Princess, four, Junior, six, and Harvey, nine- Katie's son with ex-footballer Dwight Yorke- will spend Christmas and New Year's Eve with Peter.

Struggling at the end: A tense Katie and Peter snapped in LA with her son Harvey in 2009, a few months before they went their separate ways


Though Peter, 38, has emphasised that he can never get back with Katie, he has also admitted that he felt 'sick' when he saw photos of her and the children together with cage fighter Alex Reid.

The glamour girl meanwhile showed her softer side when she sent Peter good luck tweets before his stint on I'm A Celebrity earlier this month.

Peter, who has been linked to stars including Elen Rivas and Kristina Macmillan, has admitted in interviews: 'I love her [Katie] as the mother of my kids. We're building bridges to try and be friends.'

Missing someone? Katie looked noticeably downcast during a trip to LA earlier this month


Speaking to Piers Morgan during a Life Stories interview earlier this month, Peter said that 'business is finished' as far as he is concerned, but indicated that Katie might not be feeling the same way.

According to Closer, Katie's friends said she was 'in tears' as she watched her ex-husband in the jungle, where they had met in 2004.

A source close to her told the magazine: 'She broke down after seeing Peter's confession. She let the children stay awake to see him on telly and even texted him afterwards saying she adored him.'

Still hurts: Peter insisted during an interview with Piers Morgan that 'business was finished' as far as his
relationship with Katie is concerned, but became emotional as they discussed her


The friend said she is desperate to see him and will do anything to win him back, adding: 'She says no one's ever compared to him.'

A sentiment that Katie confirmed to heat magazine this week when she opened up about Peter and said no one would ever take his place in her life.

She admitted that she regretted splitting from him and said: 'Pete still makes my heart jump when I see him.'

Opening up: Peter opened up to Mark Wright during his appearance on I'm A Celebrity: Get Me Out Of Here and said he had never loved anyone like he had Katie


She also revealed that during their four-year union, they never had time to enjoy being together.

She said: 'Our marriage was all about the cameras and the deals and the jazz hands. It would have lasted for years if we were given time to put the cameras down and actually enjoy being married.'

After she and Pete went their separate ways, Katie married cagefighter Alex Reid, but that only lasted a year and she said she is in no rush to walk down the aisle again.

She said: 'I always thought my married to Peter was the one that would last, I really did.'

Even her friends revealed that she is missing her ex more than ever, with best friend and close confidante Michelle Heaton admitting that she thinks Katie and Pete may have a second chance.

Speaking to heat, she said: 'I just think it's so amazing that Peter and Katie are so nice about each other now. It was such a special romance.'

Special romance: Katie and Peter met on the show in 2004 and married the following year, their relationship publicly documented throughout


'I'm not saying they're getting back together but what they had was so special and Pete being in the jungle is just reminding them of it - it's bringing all the memories back.'

'I know Katie really well, so I'm not ruling anything out.'

And friends of Peter said he is also debating whether he should reunite with the mother of his children.

Speaking to Closer, one said: 'Pete went back to the jungle so he could move on from Katie. He wanted closure so he could leave the jungle focusing on being friends with her.

'But being there was so emotional, it brought it all flooding back. He's said publicly they'll never be reunited but now he isn't so sure of what he wants.'

Peter Andre to make an 'emotional' return to the I'm A Celebrity jungle where he met ex-wife Katie Price

By Emily Sheridan


'G'Day: Peter Andre arrives at Brisbane airport in Queensland, Australia on Thursday morning


Last time Peter Andre entered the jungle, he ended up with a wife in glamour model Katie Price.

But after two children and an acrimonious divorce, the Australian singer is preparing to return to I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

Although already scheduled to join the panel on the ITV2 spin-off show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here Now!, Andre admitted he has one day in the camp he doesn't know what he's doing.


The father-of-two jetted into Brisbane airport on Thursday morning (local time) and made a brief visit to his parents Savvas and Thea on the Gold Coast ahead of his TV appearance.

Although ITV are keeping tight-lipped over what Andre will be doing in the jungle, he's up for a challenge.

He said: 'I’m on the ITV2 panel for three days, but I’m here for four days.

'They are not telling me what’s happening on the other day. They’ve blocked one day out and they’ve told me, "You’ll see what happens." I don’t know what they’re doing. Am I going in?'

Shop till you drop: It looks like the singer has been enjoying the duty free shopping in Dubai on his changeover


Although Andre admits he would be happy to return, he would rule out any sky-diving.

He said: 'How would I feel about being dropped into the jungle? If it’s not to compete, I’m fine with it.

'Why not go in there and do a trial? Sure. I won’t jump out of a plane, but I’ll have a go at anything else.

'I’m looking forward to it, though. I wouldn’t mind going in there, as long as I’m not competing. I’d definitely drop in there for a day or two to have some fun.'

Memories: Andre shares a tender moment with his ex-wife Katie Price in the 2004 series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!


Andre famously met his ex-wife Price when they both appeared on I'm A Celebrity eight years ago.

A year later, they welcomed their first child together Junior and married a few months later during a lavish ceremony in Hampshire, which was broadcast on TV.

But less than a year after the birth of their daughter Princess Tiaamii, the couple split in May 2009 after three and a half years of marriage.

Andre admits it will be emotional returning to the place where he fell in love.

Second time round: Price returned to I'm A Celebrity in November 2009 following their split


He said: 'It’s been emotional to return here. I had some mixed feeling yesterday.
I’ve been back to Australia since the jungle, but never back there.

'That was eight years ago. I know that because Harvey is nine years old. Wow! Can you believe it?

'The last time I came here single, I ended up walking out and getting married. This time I’m going to try and stay single.'

When asked about his opinion on the celebrities on the show so far, Andre asked if model Emily Scott was single.

But he admitted he probably couldn't compete with The Only Way Is Essex heart-throb Mark Wright, 23.

He explained: 'He’s the younger generation. He’s a good-looking bloke and he’s probably 15 years younger than me. I can’t compete.'

Peter Andre steps out with his very own Mysterious Girl... his ex Angela Mogridge

By SARAH FITZMAURICE

Old flame: Peter Andre was seen leaving Ghost: The Musical on Friday night with ex-girlfriend Angela Mogridge

He has been single for months after splitting from Elen Rivas in April.

But it appears that Peter Andre may well have rekindled an old flame and was seen leaving Ghost: The Musical with Angela Mogridge on Friday night.

The Mysterious Girl warbler left the Piccadilly Theatre with not one but two women but it was Angela, who he admitted to sleeping with in the past, who he was seen helping into the car as they drove away.


Hands on: The singer was seen putting a hand on the blonde's back as she got into the car


Peter, who was dressed in an all-black ensemble with plenty of chest on show, put his hand on the Angela's back as she got into the car.

And the singer, who never misses a photo opportunity, appeared to feign a look of embarrassment as he sat in the back seat next to the blonde and their friend.
Peter, who is usually very vocal on Twitter, made no mention of his trip on the social networking site.

Neither did fellow Australian Angela, 31, who runs her own web design agency, is a celebrity chaperone and sings in a Pussycat Dolls style group Million Dollar Babes.

The couple were first linked together back in 2009, although Peter denied they were involved in a relationship at the time.


Matching ensembles: Peter was dressed all in black as was his female companion who nearly flashed her modesty as she got into the car to head home following the show


Then in October 2010 Peter told the News of The World:' I've had sex. I'm taking things slowly because I'm worried about my kids. Angela is one of the nicest girls I have ever met. We care about each other. We've always been attracted to each other.'

Last month Angela told Britain's Star magazine that she would consider moving to the UK to be with Peter.

She said: 'If the timing is right and the feelings are right, then yes. maybe sometime in the future. As much as I would miss my amazing family and friends in Australia, if things were going really well with Pete, I would move to be with him.'


Trying to hide something? It seemed like Peter was trying to look embarrassed as he sat in the car with the girl on the way home


No showmance: Peter has been single since splitting from his girlfriend of five months and fellow CAN Associates client Elen Rivas in April

Shady ladies: Katie Price and her daughter Princess Tiaamii sport matching sunglasses as they leave the Ivy

By Daily Mail Reporter


Shades ahead: Katie Price carries her daughter Princess Tiaamii out of The Ivy restaurant in London - both were wearing similar sunshades


Katie Price and her daughter made for a cutesy pairing today as they left the Ivy in London.

The former glamour model was wearing a large pair of shades that matched those worn by her mini-me, Princess.

Miss Price, 33, strolled out of the exclusive eaterie with her three-year-old daughter in her arms presumably after having lunch there.

She wore a knitted beige top with holes in it and a pair of distressed jeans, also with holes in them - together with a sparkling pair of sandals and a smart cream bag.

Meanwhile daughter Princess had a pink top on with a smart white blazer and jeans.

Princess Tiaamii is Miss Price's daughter from her relationship with Peter Andre, who she was married to for three and a half years.

Like mother, like daughter: Miss Price and her daughter Princess Tiaamii


Last week Peter Andre picked up the award for Celebrity Dad Of The Year for the second year running.

The former pop singer has stayed loyal to his children, son Junior and stepson Harvey, despite his split with Miss Price.

Meanwhile, her new beau Leandro Penna has been spending time with the three children as their relationship continues to flourish.

New man: Leandro Penna has been ingratiating himself with Miss Price's children and spent Father's day with them

Dad Of The Year: But Peter Andre had to miss out on father's day


Over the weekend Price praised her Argentinian boyfriend for improving his English - which he has been working on with special classes.

She tweeted: 'Its fantastic leo can now speak English all them english lessons have been fantastic and made a difference!my spanish got better too haha.'

And it seems his parenting credentials have gone down as well as his aural abilities.

Yesterday Price also wrote: 'What a great day with kids !leo is legend he can do everything can't believe what he did today amazing ...we all had so much fun!'

Meanwhile Peter Andre had to spend Father's Day away from his children - he was in Oxfordshire filming for his new show, Here 2 Help.

'Single and ready for fun' Peter Andre works off the heartache from his Elen split

By ANDREA MAGRATH

Sweat it out: Peter Andre goes for a jog in Larnaca, Cyprus


His ex wife is currently dominating headlines with her very public and continuous display of affection with her 25-year-old lover.

So perhaps Peter Andre thought it was time to to steal some of the spotlight back.

The Australian singer threw on some attention-grabbing workout gear that showed off his muscular physique and set off on a jog.


Stretch: The reality star was trailed by his film crew, who captured every flexing moment


His hot and sweaty exercise session was captured by photographers and, of course, his film crew, so that the workout can be broadcast on his new season of Peter Andre: The Next Chapter.

Peter, 38, is on holiday Larnaca, Cyprus, where he has a house, where he fled to last week after his amicable split from Elen Rivas.

He is enjoying a sunny break with children Junior, five, and Princess Tiaamii, three, and Katie Price's son Harvey, eight, from her relationship with Dwight Yorke.


Split: Peter recently discussed his and Elen Rivas' break-up, saying he knew they would never get married


On holiday: His ex Katie Price is also away, and has been keeping fans updated on her romance with Leandro in Argentina


It's certainly what his ex Katie Price has been doing - the model is ensconced in her boyfriend Leandro Penna's native Argentina while her ex has the children.

The 32-year-old has been keeping fans abreast of her romance, tweeting a series of cheesy romantic pictures of her and Leandro kissing and posing together in La Cumbrecita in Cordoba after she met his parents.

Katie recently revealed that during her marriage to Peter she had some of guards up as a result of her ex-boyfriend Dane Bowers hurting her.

She said of Bowers, whom she dated from 1998 to 2000: ‘He was the only guy who completely taught me about having your heart broken.

‘I’ve always said that Dane’s the one who did that. Because of Dane, he’s made me have my barriers up and even with Pete, I’d like to say they all went down, but there were a couple still up.’

'In my heart, I knew the relationship wasn't going anywhere': Peter Andre

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

A single man: Peter Andre strips off for the new issue of Heat magazine


Former WAG Elen Rivas was the first women to grow close to Peter Andre following his high-profile divorce from Katie Price.

But the Australian singer admitted he knew fairly early on it wasn't going to be happily ever after with the Spanish model.

Following their split earlier this month after five months together, Andre, 38, has spoken in depth for the first time about what went wrong.


Brief romance: Andre and ex-girlfriend Elen Rivas in January


He tells the new issue of Heat magazine: 'Elen and I never saw one another. I am so busy and so is Elen, and in my heart, I knew that the relationship was never going to step up to the next level. We weren't going to get married.

'We are better off as friends - and we are. It's amicable and I still meet up with her.


The full interview appears in this week's issue of heat magazine, on sale now


'We're mates, and if we had stayed together that could have been ruined. We never argued and if the relationship had continued, we would have started to row.'

Now single again following his 2009 divorce from Price, Andre says he's in no rush to find another wife.

He enthused: 'I'm a single man. This year is about having fun and lots of it. I'm not ready for a relationship and settling down and doing the love thing.

The full interview appears in this week's issue of heat magazine, on sale now (Tuesday).

The brand new series of Peter Andre: The Next Chapter starts on Thursday 28 April at 9pm on ITV2.

Mini-break instead of marathon: Last minute romantic getaway for injured Katie Price and her toy boy Leandro

By Sarah Fitzmaurice


Romantic getaway? Injured Katie Price and her boyfriend Leandro were spotted at Heathrow airport yesterday


She was meant to be running the London Marathon this weekend but after pulling out of the race last week it appears Katie Price is looking to get away from it all.

The glamour model and her toyboy Leandro Penna, who has recently returned to the UK after a short trip home in Argentina, were spotted at Heathrow yesterday.

But while Katie has had to pull out of the London race her brother Danny, who she has been training with, is set to run the Boston marathon on Monday so perhaps the pair are heading stateside to support him.


Katie will no doubt, be disappointed she is injured and unable to take part in the race on Sunday and she and Leandro could be jetting away from the U.K. to cheer her up.

Just days before the 26.2 mile London run Katie pulled out and posted a message to her official website.

She said: 'It is with great regret that I have had to pull out of this year’s London Marathon. I’ve been training really hard, but it became apparent at the Silverstone half marathon (6th March) that my knee is not strong enough to withstand extensive runs.

Off anywhere nice? Katie was supposed to be running the London marathon on Sunday but had to pull out due to injury


'My brother Danny, who was part of the team running the marathon with me, is now going to be doing the Boston Marathon [18th April]. We have obviously had a lot of generous donations made to us and we hope to keep raising more money through him.

Katie ran the circuit around the capital with then husband Peter Andre in 2009 but has had to pull out this year because of a knee injury.

Injured: Katie Price, seen here running the London Marathon in 2009 with then-husband Peter Andre, has pulled out of this year's 26-mile run because of a knee injury


Last week Katie and Leandro had enjoyed a day out at a theme park with Essex reality TV stars Kirk Norcross and his girlfriend Lauren Pope.

The glamour model met The Only Way is Essex stars on a recent night out to the Sugar Hut nightclub in Brentwood.

Katie and Leandro, who appear to be inseparable, have rubbished claims the couple are engaged.

Posting to her Twitter page Katie posted: 'People keep saying is it true I'm engaged! We are not engaged, we haven't spoke about getting engaged and I don't intend to get engaged.'

What's Katie going to say? Peter Andre takes Junior for a spin on a quad bike

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Easy does it: Peter Andre takes a relaxed approach to son Junior's safety during the private quad bike ride


He might have enjoyed the ride on his dad's high-powered quad bike, but Peter Andre's son didn't appear to have much protection during the spin around his father's estate.

The five-year-old was perched on the front of the motorised vehicle wearing just a flimsy bike helmet for the private ride.

Peter's apparent relaxed approach to his son's safety may anger his estranged wife and Junior's mother, Katie Price.


Going solo: After taking Junior for a 'super slow' spin on the quad bike, Peter takes to the open road alone


The separated pair's son wore no other safety equipment during the spin around Peter's estate in East Grinstead, West Sussex, while Andrew himself wore no protective clothing or helmet at all.

The 38-year-old seemed oblivious to the potential danger - or the example he was setting his son.
