Katie & Peter: The break up…

Katie & Peter: The break up…

My best friend texted me last night – “How are you about Katie and Peter… Is it true?” – And my reply “Oh don’t, I can’t talk about it, I’m devastated.”

Because you know what? I really am. I feel totally let down and disappointed because for the past six years I’ve been one of the people who said it would last, who said their love was genuine.

Today’s newspapers are filled with the news that Katie Price and Peter Andre are splitting up after three and a half years of marriage.

And apparently pictures of Katie letting her hair down and getting her tits out in a Bristol club was the final straw for Peter, who was fed up with her constant flirting and drunken behaviour.

But I’m so cross with him! Katie Price, aka Jordan, is famous for getting her tits out! She’s made money from falling out of clubs! This is who she is!

Katie & Peter

Did Peter Andre honestly think he could change Jordan into someone who didn’t get her best assets out in public, someone who didn’t appreciate male attention or flirt outrageously at any given opportunity?

In his defence, he has always maintained it was the real Katie Price he fell in love with, not her alter ego Jordan.

But could he really expect his wife to drop the doppelganger who made her the multi-millionaire she is today?

ITV2’s documentary Katie and Peter: The Next Chapter has portrayed their relationship as volatile; they argue and bicker continuously.

But you also see a softer side to the pair – a genuine display of affection and love for each other.

I felt it was particularly telling when Katie was filmed going under the anaesthetic for another boob operation – she was in a vulnerable state and all she could talk about was her love for Peter.

And don’t all couples argue? – I think some of the best relationships are those which are based on the ability to have a blazing row and then make it up again afterwards. I simply don’t buy it when someone says “oh we never argue”, and automatically I think “Oh there must be something wrong with you then.”

Today’s Daily Mirror shows pictures of the couple having an almighty fight in a sport shop in LA, which was aired on ITV2 last Thursday.

I saw this episode and my take on things was this – Katie was being polite to the shop assistant who had no clue who either of them was. Peter was insanely (excuse the pun) jealous that his wife was giving the shop assistant attention and started to nag as her and take the mickey.

He was incredibly rude to the shop assistant and worked and worked at Katie until she lost her patience and told him “you’re a f****** K***…… I’m the one making money Pete.”

He drove her to lose her temper, and then had a proper paddy when eventually she bit back.

But as the episode closed I was left thinking, wicked, what a great piece of television – they’ll kiss and make up next week.

Because that’s how I’ve been led to believe they lead their lives; they bicker, they argue, they make up, they’re head over heels in love again.

Some people are speculating the break up is just a publicity stunt, and I for one hope they are right. I would feel the butt of a cruel joke, but at least my favourite celeb couple would be back together.

Unfortunately I fear the worst, maybe this is it for Katie and Peter and their gorgeous three children will enter the world of shared custody, trips between homes and two Christmases a year.

And selfishly for me, Thursday nights will never be the same again as I struggle to find a replacement for ITV2’s Katie and Peter: The Next Chapter.
