Ant McPartlin has claimed former glamour model Katie Price once tried hit on his pal and co-host, Declan Donnelley.
The TV duo have crossed paths with the mum-of-five several time throughout their career, but became close when Katie appeared on I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! twice and they spent time together in Australia.
During Katie’s first stint in the jungle back in 2004, where she met future ex-husband Peter Andre, Ant suggested the star had her sights set on striking up a romance with his co-host, Dec, 47.

The Mirror reports that in a previous tell-all book, Ant recalled how Katie, then better known as Jordan, tried to seduce Dec at the wrap party when the ITV series ended – and even got her mum to try and set the pair up.

“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 recalled when writing about that year’s wrap party in his and Dec’s autobiography Ooh! What A Lovely Pair.
At the time, Dec – who had recently split from childhood sweetheart Clare Buckfield – rejected Katie’s as her mum Amy tried to act as a wing woman.

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,” he added.
Katie, 44, was in a relationship with her then boyfriend Scott Sullivan during her time in jungle and he was seen flying Down Under to support his glamour model beau on the show.
Katie famously broke up with Scott to pursue things with campmate Pete and eventually married the Mysterious Girl singer, 49.
After leaving the jungle Katie and Pete were inseparable and their whirlwind romance led to marriage the following year at Highclere Castle in Hampshire.

They went on to welcome two children together – Junior Andre, 17, and Princess Andre, 15 – before sensationally calling it quits on their romance in 2009 and divorcing.
Dec went on to find love himself shortly after Katie tried to seduce him at the I’m A Celebrity wrap party in 2004.
After dating TV presenter Georgie Thompson from January 2009 until April 2011, Dec fell for his and Ant’s manager Ali Astall.
The happy couple tied the knot in 2015 and welcomed their first child into the world together in September 2018, with Ali giving birth to their second child earlier this year.
