Katie Price dumps her boyfriend and apologises for acting like a "right twit" since her split with Peter Andre
Katie Price revealed she had split up with boyfriend Alex Reid after telling how her I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here! experience reminded her of Peter Andre.
The glamour girl, who walked out on the jungle after being repeatedly chosen for stomach-churning bushtucker trials by the public, told Ant and Dec her relationship with the cage fighter had ended and she was "happier".
But, speaking before Lucy Benjamin became the first celebrity to be voted off, Price told how she was leaving the show "with my head between my toes in shame."
Toom many memories
Describing how the experience had brought back memories of her ex-husband, she said: "The whole place reminded me of Pete from the moment I woke up, the afternoon to the moment I went to sleep, every second it was Pete, Pete, Pete and although they were amazing, happy memories I had in there, I'd lie there and think those good memories are way gone but then I was still there with constant reminders of Pete, Pete, Pete, Pete.
"It was hard to deal with before I went in there, I thought I'll walk in there and either break down or deal with the closure. I walked in and they (the other celebrities) all welcomed me and it was so ironic that I had the same bed as last time; nobody wanted it because the bonfire smokes over it.
"That was really, really hard to deal with because waking up in the mornings I'd wake up and look over and think Peter's going to be there and then I'd be like, course Pete's not going to be there, I'm not with Pete any more."
Giving the cagefighter the boot
When asked about her relationship with Reid, she said: "I'm not with him, no."
Price, a mother-of-three, said she had proved herself and was missing her children.
"When Pricey makes a decision, she sticks with it. I'm really sorry for letting everyone down but I can't continue this journey for personal reasons. I'll walk with my head between my toes in shame and I'll probably regret it, I feel sick for letting people down, I'm gutted myself I'm leaving."
Katie had entered the jungle in the wake of her divorce from Andre, whom she met during her previous stint on the show. Her months in the public eye, as she and Andre slugged it out in a bitter PR battle, seemed to have acted to turn the public against her.
Jungle ordeal
Viewers voted again and again to put her up for the nasty trials which have seen her crunching fish eyes, driving slowly through a web full of spiders and drinking a cockroach smoothie.
The model, who was reportedly being paid far more than any of the other contestants, is the second person to quit the show this series. Dancer Camilla Dallerup left the show after just three days on medical advice after she struggled with exhaustion on the show.
Price split from Andre in the spring after five years together and their relationship soon descended into a war of words.
