Truth behind Katie Price & Wayne Lineker’s relationship after THOSE cosy Ibiza snaps… and the surprising bond they share
THEY’VE been soaking up the Ibiza sunshine, while wrapping their arms around one another like two lovesick teenagers at a beach rave.
So it’s only natural that fans have begun asking whether former glamour model Katie Price, 48, and party king Wayne Lineker, 64, could be embarking on a new romance after a trying year for Pricey – who ditched her wedding ring for the Ibiza bash.
Pictured on a sunbed at the O Beach Ibiza last week, with Katie wearing a barely-there bikini, the tactile displays of affection between the two showbiz veterans had everyone asking the same question: what on earth is going on here?
Indeed, one insider told me: “It certainly got everyone talking. Naturally people started to wonder if there could be a romantic spark between the pair.
“While many questions have been raised about Katie’s husband Lee Andrews and the reality of his finances, Wayne is the real deal.
“He’s raking it in with all his Ibiza businesses and he’s not ashamed to show off the rewards of his hard work.”
It’s no secret that Katie’s love life has been a rollercoaster of late.
After a whirlwind romance and shock January wedding to Dubai-based businessman Lee, recent months have brought a storm of drama.
Self-proclaimed “millionaire” Lee is back in a Dubai prison for unpaid debts and Katie has voiced her frustration to The Sun’s Clemmie Moodie over the “ridiculous” drama surrounding him.
Wayne, brother of football legend Gary Lineker, is known as a party boy, and many wondered if the newlywed was seeking comfort in his famously welcoming arms.
After all, he has a taste for models – with his past girlfriends including model Danielle Sandhu and the late Love Island star Sophie Gradon.
But before anyone starts buying a wedding hat for another Pricey trip down the aisle, we can reveal the real truth behind their close connection.
According to those close to Katie, the pair are strictly platonic and the tactile body language is simply the result of two larger-than-life personalities who love letting their hair down together.
“Katie and Wayne are just brilliant mates, plain and simple,” a close insider spilled to us last night.
“People look at the photos of them cuddling up or whispering during the eclipse, and because it’s Katie, they instantly assume there’s a massive romantic scandal brewing.
“But honestly? It’s completely innocent. They just get each other.”
My source continued: “They are both veterans of the showbiz scene and they both love a massive party.
“When Katie is in Ibiza, Wayne is her go-to guy. He treats her like royalty and ensures she has a great time.
“There is zero romantic spark there. She sees him like a fun, cheeky older brother who knows exactly how to throw the best parties.”
Katie’s recent trip to the Mediterranean wasn’t just a wild solo getaway to escape the exhausting Lee Andrews saga back home. It was a fun-filled adventure for her beloved eldest son Harvey, 24, who joined her on the Spanish island.
And it’s actually Wayne’s bond with Harvey that has cemented his status as one of Katie’s most treasured pals.
Harvey, who has Prader-Willi syndrome and is also autistic and blind, was also at the sprawling Ibiza resort dancing away to his favourite tunes.
For protective mum Katie, seeing the entrepreneur go out of his way to ensure her boy had a spectacular time meant the absolute world.
“Wayne is absolutely brilliant with Harvey, and that’s the fastest way to Katie’s heart. Not romantically, but purely as a loyal friend,” my insider revealed.
“Wayne rolled out the red carpet for them and even made sure he had his favourite meal of Spaghetti Carbonara.
“He makes Harvey feel so special, safe, and included in all the fun. Katie is endlessly appreciative of that.”
This supportive dynamic is especially poignant for the mum-of-five, given the well-documented absence of Harvey’s biological father.
Former Premier League footballer Dwight Yorke has played no part in his son’s upbringing, leaving Katie to deal with all of Harvey’s very complex needs on her own.
“It genuinely breaks Katie’s heart that Harvey’s real dad has never done a thing for him, so when she sees men like Wayne stepping up just to be kind, patient and supportive, she is so touched,” the pal explained.
“Wayne doesn’t have to go out of his way for Harvey, but he does it because he has a big heart. That’s why Katie is so loyal to him. She will defend their friendship to the hilt.”
So, while the pictures of them cosying up under the sun might scream new romance to the untrained eye, the reality is far sweeter.
It is clearly a feeling shared by Wayne, who took to Instagram to pay tribute to Katie.
He wrote a “special message” to the businesswoman, writing: “We’ve certainly had our moments over the years, you more than anyone knows that.
“We’ve faced obstacles, made mistakes and sometimes been our own worst enemies.
“But through it all, there’s one thing I believe we’ve always shared: our two hearts and our genuine love of helping other people.”
With the baggage of her recent marital woes weighing heavily on her mind, Katie wanted a place to let off steam with her son.
And the O Beach did not let her down. The club’s waitresses, wearing skimpy outfits, added to the upbeat party vibe, showing off their best moves on the stage and holding up cards spelling ‘Harvey’ as partygoers chanted his name.
Harvey looked over the moon and threw his hands up in the air with joy.
“Katie knows exactly what she’s doing,” our insider laughed. “She knows people will talk when she wraps her arms around Wayne in a tiny bikini. But she doesn’t care anymore.”
Whether her husband Lee, who remains in Al Awir prison, will be equally nonchalant remains to be seen.
Get half price tickets to the new Vegas-style magic show in London’s West End that’s so good you’ll stand ON your seat
LOTS of family shows claim to be for everyone aged 5 to 95, but in practice, very few are.
Now You See Me Live is one of those rare West End unicorns that will have all ages on the edge of their seats (or standing on top of it in my son’s case).
And Sun Club members can get half price tickets.
The big-budget magic shows are based on the Hollywood films starring Isla Fisher and Sir Michael Caine and Mark Ruffalo, but fear not, you don’t have to have seen the movies to understand the theatre production.
They have almost nothing in common, aside from the fact that there are four main magicians known as ‘The Horsemen’ – Enzo Weyne, Andrew Basso, Gabriella Lester and Matthew Pomeroy – alongside three supporting magicians who all appeared on Britain’s Got Talent – Eden Choi, Fraser Penman and Rafferty Coope.
This is, however, as close to a Vegas-style magic show as you’re going to get in the UK, which is why it makes sense that the next stop on its world tour will in fact be the Nevada city.

Running in London until September 6, it had my son and I engrossed from start to finish.
His jaw practically hit the floor, I squealed, the middle-aged man sitting next to me shouted aloud in wonder… the acts the magicians played out for the audience were truly mesmerising.
Without spoiling too much of the magic, the moment the escapologist is locked, handcuffed, upside down in a tank of water in a recreation of Houdini’s water torture stunt, is undoubtedly a highlight of the show.
As was the moment the cast appeared to travel through time, carrying possessions from the audience.
And I’ll never work out how they tasked the entire theatre of 2000-plus people to rip up a bunch of playing cards and the result that ended up in my hand.
Meanwhile, my seven year old son’s favourite act by far was Britain’s Got Talent semi-finalist Eden Choi, who appeared to shoot hundreds of playing cards out of his hands across the stage.
But for the most part, this is a full-on audience participation event, from start to finish.
We threw bouncy balls around the venue, we ripped up packs of cards, we collectively took part in mind-reading – there were very few parts of the show where we were required to stay silent.
In fact, we were actively encouraged the holler at the stage on several occasions.
When the time came for the curtain to close, my seven year old actually stood on his seat (sorry London Coliseum staff) to give his final round of applause.
Which surely shows you quite how impressive it was.
