Glamour model Katie was one of the campmates in the third series of I’m A Celebrity in 2009. And, once she was out of the jungle, she allegedly tried to cosy up to Dec at the series wrap party.

The star went on to marry (and then divorce) her fellow campmate Peter Andre, with whom she shares two children – Princess and Junior.

However, before they were a twinkle in her eye, it seems Katie wanted a piece of Dec, who was single at the time.

According to The Mirror, Ant talked about Katie’s flirtatious behavior towards Dec in their autobiography, claiming she “tried to charm” his co-host. He also claims her mum Amy was found “attempting to play matchmaker”.

He wasn’t having any of it.

Katie was dating her Scott Sullivan at the time. However, when her romance with Peter Andre played out on screen, poor old Scott was soon ancient history.

While discussing juicy details about the wrap party in the autobiography, Ant noted: “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.”

I’m A Celebrity host Dec had just broken up with his ex Clare Buckfield

Ant claimed that Dec gave Katie the “brush off”.  But the model’s mother, Amy Price, allegedly tried to act as a wing woman to her daughter.

“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,” Ant claimed.
