Gladiators star Warren “Ace” Furman has revealed he “prays” for his ex-fiancée Katie Price after opening up about their “cursed” relationship.
The former couple met in 1997 and were briefly engaged before splitting up after 18 months together.
Following Katie, 44, going public with her mental health struggles in Channel 4 documentary Katie Price: Trauma and Me, Warren has revealed he “prays” for his former flame.

Warren told The Sun: “I pray for her because in that lifestyle of hers it’s very difficult to keep on the straight and narrow, and it’s very difficult to trust people.
“I pray that her family can stay together and I pray that she can settle down and find peace and happiness.”
Warren joined Gladiators in 1996, making his debut on the former ITV show’s fifth series.

After the series was axed in 2000, his Hollywood dreams were ended by steroid and alcohol abuse.
He now lives in York with his wife and two children.
The first of Katie’s many fiancés, the pair parted on good terms – with the OnlyFans star previously praising Warren as one of the few boyfriends not to cheat on her.
Reflecting on the breakdown of their engagement, the TV hunk also shared his opinion that the “pressures of fame” ultimately led to their relationship’s demise.

He added: “We were both equally to blame for the breakdown of our relationship.
“We were both young, we were both courting the press.
“We were very similar people, we came from working-class backgrounds and we got on very well, but the pressures of fame cursed the relationship in a lot of ways.”
