Katie and Peter to get quick divorce
Katie Price and Peter Andre’s divorce officially gets underway today as a judge sitting at the High Court in London will grant the couple a ‘quickie divorce’, ending their turbulent three-and-a-half year marriage.
The pair, who have two children together, Princess Tiiaamii, two, and Junior, four (Harvey is from Katie’s previous relationship with footballer Dwight Yorke) will then have only six weeks to change their minds before a decree absolute is granted by the Family Division of the High Court in central London.
Peter, 36, is believed to have filed his papers first, but when Jordan – Katie Price – found out she also instructed her solicitors to take action.
The situation, known as cross decrees, is unusual but it will make no difference to the quickie divorce or any financial deal or parental rights.
Such cases only occur in about one out of every 400 divorces, usually reflecting the most acrimonious splits.
Last night a family lawyer reportedly told The Sun newspaper said: “It’s quite sad really and nothing more than a petty snipe from Ms Price. It’s her way of saying, ‘I am not allowing you to divorce me – instead I am going to divorce you.’
‘It’s just a way of sticking your fingers up at your ex through legal process. It’s about emotion – nothing else.’
The cross decrees are filed as Price K v Andrea P J – Pete’s real surname. And the case number is FD09D03082. Judge Bradley will hear the case in court six of the High Court in London.

Pete Andre “feeling better” about split
14 weeks after their very public split Peter Andre has revealed he has ” turned a corner”
Andre told The Sun newspaper ”In the last 10 days, I’ve turned a corner. When someone mentions Kate, where it used to stab me in the heart, it just doesn’t hurt anymore.
“I’m not saying I am a barrel of laughs now, but I must be over it. I am not hurting at all.”
He added: “I can see myself with someone now. I haven’t met anyone yet, but I can in the future. Since I have started feeling better, I am thinking I could.”

Katie’s Drunken Lunge at Duncan James
Singer Peter Andre ended his marriage to Katie Price shortly after hearing about an alleged drunken incident involving pop star Duncan James and his wife, it has been claimed.
Duncan James
According to the UK tabloid paper The Daily Mirror, the glamour model’s friends told Andre that she had offered to perform a sex act on James in a nightclub toilet nearly two years ago. The shocking revelation is thought to have triggered a breakdown in trust between the couple leading to Andre’s request for Price not to go out drinking without him.
Recalling Price’s alleged behaviour at London’s Movida nightclub, a source revealed: “Katie was hammered and determined to let her hair down. She was in the VIP section drinking heavily when she bumped into Duncan. She virtually launched herself at him, grinding up and down against him, and grabbing his crotch.
“Duncan was flirting back in a pretty innocuous way and kept reminding her she was a married woman. But Katie was having none of it and continued to make crude sexual gestures. She was bragging about her sexual prowess.
“She made some comment about not getting enough sex and basically suggested she took him into the toilets for a sexual treat he’d never forget. Duncan seemed unsure whether she was joking or not. But he reminded her again that she was married and declined her offer.”
Katie Price reportedly kept details of the proposition under wraps for almost two years before her pals finally spilled the beans.
The source continued: “Next day Katie was desperate to bury her actions and adamant that Pete must never find out. But eventually word got back and not surprisingly he felt humiliated and appalled. It broke him in two.
“It wasn’t the final straw but was most definitely a huge factor in their break-up – and one reason why he’ll never go back to her.”

Katie Split – Peter Andre Bites Back
Peter Andre has written about his split from Katie Price in his column in New! magazine. He is particularly angry about Katie’s suggestion that he ended the marriage to promote his album.
‘Kate… basically implied that I have orchestrated the whole thing.
‘Can I just say that you’d have to be pretty sick in the head to end your marriage just to sell records! As if I would ever do something like that.
‘It’s true that a few of the songs on my album are about problems in our relationship, but when I wrote those songs I actually wanted Kate to listen to them and take note so we could rectify our problems.’
He is also angered by Katie Price’s suggestion that their son Junior cried when it was time to go and stay with him.
‘I really don’t know how to react to comments like this any more,’ he writes.
‘Kate has been putting me down for five and half years and it’s a real shame she doesn’t see fit to stop it now we’re not even together.
‘She makes jibes at me constantly and it really upsets me that she uses the kids to do it.’
Andre says he feels as if Katie has now completely changed from the woman he married.
‘I don’t even feel like I know her any more,’ he wrote. ‘I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I loved Katie Price but she left the building a long time ago now.”

Peter Andre: Pain at Katie Split
Peter Andre has confessed he broke down in an Ikea car park following the break-up of his marriage to Katie Price.
The Australian pop star says he broke down, while on a shopping trip, after being hit with the “realisation that the family unit was smashed to pieces”.
“It all just suddenly hit me in the Ikea car park. I had to go home, and that night I cried myself to sleep.”
The 36-year-old singer said he was not ready to enter a new relationship despite reports of his estranged wife cavorting with a string of men since the split, including a cage fighter.
Andre added: “I’m still in a tunnel and can’t see the light yet, but I know it’s there. I know I’ll get there and come out a stronger man – a better man.”
“I wish I was stronger. The one thing about Katie is that she can just move on. I can’t do that. Well, not yet anyway,” he told News Of The World’s magazine Fabulous.
