Ant McPartlin says Katie Price tried to 'seduce' Declan Donnelly
Katie Price tried to seduce Declan Donnelly at a ITV I'm A Celebrity party, claims Ant McPartlin. In Ant and Dec's joint autobiography, Ant reminisced about how Katie, then known as Jordan, tried to charm Dec at the wrap party for that year's series.
"The other thing I remember from that party is doing shots with Kerry, and Jordan [Katie's glamour model alter-ego] chasing after Dec, who she had propositioned during her departure interview," Ant wrote, reflecting on Katie's stint on the show back in 2004.
Ant went on to write: "He managed to avoid her all night, but her mum did corner him a couple of times and try to set him up with her. He wasn't having any of it." Katie, 46, who shares two children with Peter Andre, first met the Mysterious Girl singer while on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here in 2004, but called time on their romance five years later.

A the time of their split, the Only Fans star was accused of being unfaithful, a claim she has always denied. During an interview on The Louis Theroux Podcast, she said it was Peter's "lucky day" when he met her on the ITV reality TV show.
She explained: "I was already established. He’d met me and it was his lucky day. So we always had separate contracts. There’s no way I’m splitting half and half, no thanks." When asked how they communicate with each other since their split, she added: "Don’t speak to him."
Probing her further, Louis then asked her for a reason, to which she replied: "Just don’t. It’s all through legals. He was quite jealous of me working." Despite her claims of being painted out to be the bad guy in relation to their split, Katie maintains that her children Junior and Princess are aware of the truth.
