Katie Price has struck up a new relationship and is reportedly “head over heels” with her new man.
The former glamour model split from ex-boyfriend Kris Boyson at the end of last year and has since moved on with Love Island star Carl Woods.
While the pair have known each other for years, they were re-introduced through mutual friends earlier this year.
After hitting it off, Katie and Carl have been quietly dating ever since.
Carl, a car dealer from Essex, appeared on Love Island in 2016, making a late arrival as a bombshell in the speed dating task.
However, Carl wasn’t picked by another housemate during the “recoupling” and never made it into the main villa.
According to a source, Carl is Kate’s “ideal man” and the pair instantly “clicked” following their meeting.
“Katie wasn’t looking for love or a serious relationship but just weeks after meeting Carl, she fell head over heels for him,” a source told The Sun Online.
“She’s surprised how fast they clicked.

“He’s her ideal man, really: he’s got a job and his own money, he’s fit, they have a laugh – and she really fancies him.”
And it seems Carl isn’t hungry for more Instagram followers, as the insider added: “He’s told her he’s not interested in being famous or another ‘Mr Pricey’ – he just wants to be with her.”
Carl, 31, who is a regular at reality celeb hotspot Sheesh in Chigwell, also appeared in ITV2’s Killer Camp in 2018 – a horror reality whodunnit set in a 1980s American summer camp.

In his Love Island VT, the Essex native revealed his lady crush was Jodie Marsh because “she goes to the same tattooist as me”.
“I don’t want a best mate. A girl that makes the best of herself and is classy. And if she could look like Jodie Marsh that would be amazing.”
Katie’s rep told The Sun Online: “I can confirm Katie is dating Carl Woods and is delighted to introduce him publicly in this manner.
“Going forward Katie requests they have the space to allow them to enjoy their relationship privately unless otherwise at a public engagement.”
