Despite defiant Katie Price insisting she's recovered after rehab, fears grow that she's returning to her old chaotic lifestyle

After leaving rehab following her treatment for post traumatic stress disorder, Katie Price made a bold return to social media last week with an inspirational quote, saying that you “shouldn't leave the key to your happiness in someone else's' pocket" - leading fans to believe she was finally embracing single life.

She later reflected on her recent fall from grace in a trailer for the new series of her reality show My Crazy Life, insisting, “Everything I did was disgusting - but now I'm back”.

However, photos taken just days earlier appeared to show Katie back to her old ways when she was pictured on a boozy night out with on-off boyfriend Kris Boyson. Onlookers claimed she was “downing vodka and prosecco”, “nibbling on Kris’ ear” and growing “increasingly unsteady” on her feet.

The former glamour model, 40, enrolled in a 28-day rehab programme at The Priory in September for post-traumatic stress disorder - reportedly caused by the breakdown of her third marriage to cheating husband Kieran Hayler and her mum Amy's terminal lung diagnosis.

But despite being reportedly advised by therapists to stay single, Katie – who has been married three times - has never stayed far away from male attention.

Warren appeared on This Morning last year to speak about "crashing back down to the real world" after Gladiators ended in the late 90s. He is also a born again Christian, and exclusively told Closer, "I feel God is saying to me, 'Warren, Katie might listen'. She's caught up in materialistic things."

Katie began dating Another Level (remember them?) singer Dane Bowers during her Jordan days in 1998. Katie has since spoken about how devasated she was after the pair split in 2000.

After his smash hit 'Out of Your Mind' with Victoria Beckham (who Katie reportedly had a feud with) Dane went a bit quiet on the music scene. Fast forward to 2013 and he reformed with Another Level for The Big Reunion. More recently, Dane has been linked to Love Island star Laura Anderson, who he apparently ended up cheating on. He must have been out of his mind #sorrynotsorry

Gareth went on to star in The Big Reunion with another one of Katie's exes, Dane Bowers. Awkward. Katie has also said that she would totally go back 'there' with Gareth. Unfortunately for Katie, West End actor Gareth is now happily in a relationship with Corrie star Faye Brooke. In January 2019 it was reported that the pair were engaged.

Matt married an actress and model called Rachael in 2016. Bizarrely, his photos have also been used in quite a few catfishing incidents. But Katie recently started following Matt on Instagram - what can this mean?

Peter Andre 2004 - 2009

The nation watched Peter Andre fall for Katie's charms on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in 2004. The pair then starred in a string of reality TV shows documenting their life after a fairytale wedding. They even released an album of duets, which we'd all rather just forget about. Katie and Peter had two children together, Junior and Princess, during their five years of marriage.

Things between Pricey and Peter have soured in the years following their split, after he blasted Katie for her 'wild' behaviour. Peter is now married to Emily MacDonagh, who Junior and Princess see as an older sister figure. Pete also landed himself a role in the next Thomas The Tank Engine film.

Alex went on the star in Celebrity Big Brother and he continues to fight. He's been married to Nikki Manashe since 2013. Most recently, he has been involved in a sex tape allegation - claiming that Katie showed a group of people a video of him performing a sex act. Will the drama ever end? (We hope not.)

Katie got engaged to Leandro after a whirlwind romance shortly after splitting from Alex Reid - despite the couple barely being able to communicate thanks to his limited English and Katie's non-existent Spanish (former model Leandro hails from Argentina). Leo said of their split, "Katie's brain is not wired right, or the wires don't connect properly. I don't know what's wrong with her. I was thinking it over recently and one day decided to pack my bags and leave. There was nothing else I could do. She was driving me insane."

Since splitting with KP, Leandro has quit fame to return to his native South America and now runs a successful avocado farm and business. Launching in October 2021 he said, "I present my new avocado venture @paltasroyal. Thanks to all the businesses that gave us confidence, to all the avocado-loving customers and to those merchants who have not yet bought them, do not hesitate."

Kieran Hayler 2012 - 2018

It looked like Katie had a good thing going with Kieran Hayler and their two kids, Jett and Bunny. But Kieran had to go and ruin it by cheating on Katie with her nanny, two best friends (while she was pregnant), then again with a 19-year-old shop assistant. Katie kept taking him backbut she FINALLY called it quits in May 2018.

Katie started dating personal trainer Kris Boyson within weeks of splitting from Kieran. She celebrated her 40th birthday with him and her family are said to have approved of him. Their relationship lasted a year before split rumours started to circulate, and the pair have been on and off-ing since September 2019.

Kris is still posting insanely buff topless selfies (keep 'em coming, Kris) and his personal training business is thriving. After his split from Katie, he began dating Katie's former pal Bianca Gascoigne, much to Katie's dismay. The couple moved in together within days due to lockdown but split after nearly a year together, citing their hectic work schedules.

Days after her marriage split to Kieran in May, she was said to be texting footballer Shane Duffy and soon threw herself into a romance with Kris. She was then spotted with millionaire toyboy Alex Adderson in September and appeared to jump between the two toyboys throughout her treatment. And last week, it was claimed she had moved in to Kris' home and was eager to finalise her divorce from Kieran so the pair could marry.

A source says, "Katie’s friends are worried for her, even though she claims she's back on track. They were relieved when she went to the Priory, but they're concerned she still might not be taking her recovery as seriously as she needs to be. Instead of focusing on getting herself sorted, she seems to be focused on dating and her love life. They've pleaded with her to forget about men for the moment, embrace the single life and take this chance at recovery seriously before she ends up unravelling again."

And psychologist Emma Kenny says that despite Jordan insisting that she’s "back" and recovered, her addiction to male attention and inability to be on her own could be detrimental to her recovery.

She says, “Katie is what I’d call a ‘traveller’ – someone who moves from relationship to relationship for security and validation. The reason therapists sometimes advise clients stay single is to allow the individual to build up their own internal resources required for resilience. People who jump from relationship to relationship can lack the inner strength to deal with problems or issues on their own. So should something negative happen in their life – in Katie’s case, her mum’s terminal illness or her marriage breakdown - they'll struggle to cope and will feel they need a partner to help them get through it.

“It’s a form of love addiction and it prevents you from addressing your inner issues or problems. She needs the ability to function alone in order to recover. If she doesn’t confront her issues and learn to be resilient on her own, her love addiction will eventually destroy her and everything she’s worked for.”
