Katie Price: ‘I know all Pete’s secrets – I could destroy him’

They parted ways suddenly in 2009 after four and a half years of marriage. And Katie has since struggled to hold her tongue when it comes to bad-mouthing her ex-husband Peter Andre.

Last week, the controversial mum-of-five raised eyebrows once again when she claimed that Pete, 46, grew close to Sugababes singer Keisha Buchanan, 35, shortly after their high-profile split.

“I remember the black girl, what was her name? She got friendly with Pete after we split,” Jordan, 41, said during a radio interview, referring to Keisha, before making a retching noise in an apparent dig at Pete for moving on so quickly.

Katie was quickly moved on by the presenter from speaking about the alleged romance, which Pete denied back in 2010 saying they were "just good friends". But sources tell Closer that she brought it up again to "keep him on his toes" and show that she still has power over him.

A source reveals, "Katie can’t help but feel that Pete has cleverly rebranded himself since being with Emily, but insists she knows the real Pete and claims he’s nothing like what he portrays on camera. She says she knows everything about him, every woman he was with before Emily, and could expose them all.

"She’s always insisted she knows all of Pete’s secrets and says she could expose him for ‘who he really is’, which would destroy his image.

"After all these years, she’s still driven by this obsession that he’s somehow not the perfect family man he’s painted himself out to be. She thinks it’s really unfair how all her dirty laundry is laid out in the public eye, but Pete always managed to keep his private life out of the spotlight. Though her friends have told her to drop it, she’s angry and wants to show that she still has the power to cause trouble.

"Whatever the truth behind Katie’s claims, this was all a long time ago. Pete has moved on with Emily [MacDonagh, with whom he has Amelia, five, and two year-old Theodore]. It’s clear Pete is a genuine guy, a great dad to his kids and a devoted husband to Emily, but Jordan has remained openly bitter about the end of her marriage to him, despite there being no suggestion that he was ever unfaithful.”

In 2017, during her An Audience With Katie Price tour, Katie hinted that Pete had been unfaithful during their time together, comparing their relationship to TV drama Doctor Foster, where a woman suspects her husband is having an affair and decides to investigate.

However, Pete reportedly got his lawyers involved, sending Katie a legal letter that prompted her to issue an apology on Twitter. Jordan tweeted, "I did not ever say in any words from my mouth on my tour to suggest Pete cheated on me as everyone knows he never did. Sorry."

Katie – who has Junior, 13, and Princess, 11, with Pete – attempted to make peace with him earlier this year in May when she issued a grovelling apology after calling him a “bell**d” and even claimed they still loved each other.

“Yes I said things but I was upset and didn’t mean harm! Me and Pete love each other really lol! I’m sorry @ MrPeterAndre if I hurt you!” she tweeted.

But just weeks later, Katie lashed out again and was overheard labelling Pete a “glorified babysitter” after getting drunk on a flight home from a holiday in Turkey.

The following month, in August, katie threw even further shade on a drunken night out in Turkey, telling the crowd, "I went out with Peter Andre. Do you know Peter Andre? He was Greek and they said once you’ve had Greek you’ve hit your peak, but I didn’t."

Despite her tawdry comments, Katie has found support from her mother Amy, who publicly sided with her daughter in 2018 against Pete, saying that he "portrays himself as perfect" and that all the men in Jordan’s life had "used" her.

In April this year, Katie – who was reported to have called the police last week on ex Charles Druryover claims he had hacked her phone and stolen from her, something his rep denied – branded Pete her "worst husband" on Good Morning Britain.

The source adds, "Friends have begged her to let go of her vendetta, but she loves the feeling of power that she could wield over him. Katie feels she has suffered so much over the last ten years, while Pete has been patted on the back. She’s threatening one last chance at revenge on him."
