Katie Price puts on a brave face as she hits the bubbles to celebrate best friends’ engagement
KATIE Price appeared to ignore her marriage breakdown for the night as she celebrated her best friends’ engagement.
After ending her marriage to Lee, 43, the former glamour model was played a voice note from him on GMB on Wednesday, in which he insisted “there’s been no wool pulled over anyone’s eyes”.
Tonight, Katie appeared in good spirits as she joined her friends for a boozy night out.
Katie flashed a big smile alongside celebrity interviewer pal Lewis Nicholls and Mike Turner.
He shared a photo of the trio and wrote: “Reunited to celebrate our engagement with Katie tonight,” with a red love heart emoji.
Katie was seen beaming as she held a glass of bubbly in her hand while joining her friends at Bank House Hotel Worcester.
Speaking to Susanna Reid and Ed Balls this week, Katie candidly confessed that – despite everything – she still loves Lee.
She said: “I love him… but who is he?
“I love the man I met. I can’t take it. I was stupid to fall for him. It’s really sad.”
Katie also admitted she believes her ex loves her too, saying: “I do believe he did.
“I think he’s got himself in such a situation… where he copy and pastes what he says to women… I do believe he’s fallen for me.”
Katie then revealed the signs that finally made her open her eyes.
She said: “For example, one of the rings he bought me he said was worth £72,000. So I thought I’d better get it insured.
“So I took it into a shop and got it cleaned to get it insured. When they gave it back to me I said, ‘How nice are the diamonds?’
“They said, ‘They’re really good lab diamonds. They were grown in a lab. The ring is probably only worth about five grand’. Do you know how embarrassed I was?”
On the latest episode of her podcast The Katie Price Show, Katie held up her hand to sister Sophie, 36, and said: “I’m still wearing my ring but on the other hand because I love the ring.
“I’ve taken Lee out of [my Instagram] bio now. Enough is enough now, it gets to a point where you can tolerate so much…
“I did what I had to do. It doesn’t matter what people say about whoever I’m with. I have to do what I need to do.
“If there are things that I question, that’s for me to find out myself to make my decision. Things haven’t added up and I’m not happy about them. He is still in prison and I haven’t spoken to him.”
