Katie Price has candidly discussed the challenges she faced following the breakdown of her marriage to Peter Andre, while also acknowledging the happy memories they shared. The former glamour model, appearing alongside longtime friend Kerry Katona during the opening night of their joint tour at Marine Hall in Fleetwood, spoke openly about their lives and past relationships.
During the event, the conversation turned to their ex-husbands. Kerry jokingly apologized for introducing Katie to Peter during their time on “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!” Katie revealed that Peter already had a management team due to his pop career, and soon after, Kerry found herself managing both Katie and Peter, leading Katie to quip, “There were three of us in the marriage.”
Katie reflected on the past: “There are memories. They were very good memories. I’ve suffered 16 years because of it. From when I split up, I’ve had 16 years of hell. But I’m glad now that the truth is coming out on social media and people are seeing.”

An audience member noted the strong support Katie received during the candid discussion, with many appreciating her forthrightness despite the legal sensitivities involved.
The timing of Katie’s revelations comes amid a public dispute with Peter Andre, who issued a firm statement on Instagram addressing what he described as “repeated lies” from Katie and her family. He clarified that, for his children’s safety, a court ruling placed their care with him from 2018 until adulthood. Peter also referenced previous court cases involving Katie where she was ordered to pay damages and issue apologies for false claims.
Despite the turmoil, Katie recently celebrated a personal success when her 2017 track “I Got U” reached number two on the Official Download Charts. Insiders describe this achievement as a “revenge” moment, lifting Katie’s spirits during a difficult time. Support from fans buying her single and attending her shows has been a crucial source of comfort, reminding her that she isn’t alone in her struggles.
“Katie feels like she’s always been painted as the bad guy, but this has truly picked her up when she needed it most,” a source shared. “She’s a good mum who’s endured a lot, and it’s encouraging for her to have some positive support finally.”
