It was a separation just waiting to happen. Katie Price, aka Jordan, and her husband Peter Andre are to split up, a statement on behalf of the pair revealed yesterday.
The couple have been married for four-and-a-half years and found romance on the reality show I'm A Celebrity... Get me Out of Here!.
Before flying abroad last night, Jordan said: "Pete is the love of my life and my life. We have children together and I am devastated and disappointed by his decision to separate and divorce me, as I married him for life. This is not what I want and the decision has been taken out of my hands.
"I will not comment further or do any interviews regarding the separation but I will always love my Pete."
Apparent strains on their relationship have frequently hit the headlines and rumours that the couple's marriage was on the brink of collapse were strongly denied.
Price, 30, started off as a glamour model and has shown herself to be a formidable businesswoman, turning her hand to writing, designing and horse riding as well as being a mother to Junior, three, Princess Tiaamii, almost two, and Harvey, six, her son from a previous relationship.
Her lavish, fairytale wedding to Australian singer Andre in 2005 saw her don a huge dress and travel in a Cinderella-style carriage.
Before going on I'm A Celebrity Andre was known as a one-hit wonder with his anthem Mysterious Girl.
Price was snapped looking more like her alter ego Jordan on Friday, flashing her cleavage during a raucous night out in Bristol. But the following night she and Andre, 36, were pictured looking like a loving couple, holding hands during a night out at trendy London restaurant Nobu.
William Hill yesterday offered odds of 2/1 that the couple will get back together this year and 6/1 that they renew their wedding vows for a glossy magazine.
The bookie is also taking bets on the profession of Price's next man - and has made an actor the 5/2 favourite. A plastic surgeon the second favourite man she will hook up with, at 4/1.
