Katie Price and
Peter Andre have been locked in bitter feuds since they end of their marriage but they've planned a secret meeting to rebuild their friendship.
Katie, 32, wants to be pals and her ‘be nice to
Pete' plan may already be starting to pay off.
When he dropped off their kids
Junior, five, and
Princess, three, after a family trip to
Australia three weeks ago, he seemed pleased to talk to her.
Even though his
Peter Andre: The Next Chapter film crew weren't allowed into their meeting,
Pete returned to his car looking happier than ever.
‘
Peter calls regularly to speak to the kids but
Katie sees it as an opportunity to make him realise she isn't the woman who drove him to the edge towards the end of their relationship,' adds an insider.
‘She'll keep him on the phone for ages, talking about his career and what the kids have been up to.'
Despite repeatedly protesting that her marriage to
Alex Reid is stronger than ever, it's clear that when
Katie sat down to pen the dedication page of her latest autobiography,
Alex wasn't on her mind - it was
Peter.
Thanking him for turning her into an, ahem, butterfly is the clearest sign yet that she's still pining for him.
After their split,
Peter lost nearly 3st and friends feared for his health. It seems he too has found it hard to move on.
In a recent interview, he revealed he still visits the marriage guidance counsellor the couple saw as they struggled to save their marriage.
His latest single
Mercy On Me is a tribute to his ex, leading many to believe they're still not over each other.
All this might explain why
Jordan was adamant that
Alex couldn't join this year's line-up of
I'm A Celebrity - Get Me Out Of Here!.
‘
Katie told him he wouldn't be able to cope with the rations,' says our source, ‘but it's really because she sees that show as a memory of her and
Peter - and having
Alex appear on it may taint it.'
OK,
Jordan, we get your point - you've got
Pete on the brain!
