The mum-of-five, 47, has endured three unsuccessful marriages and a series of failed relationships, but there’s one man who, she reveals, shattered her heart completely.Speaking candidly about her turbulent romantic history, the glamour model disclosed that Another Level star Dane Bowers, 45, was her one true love – until he left her devastated.Katie and Dane were an item from 1998 to 2000 before their relationship crumbled, with Katie describing their split as the most painful she’d ever endured.Katie Price dated Dane Bowers from 1998 to 2000 and says he was her ‘first love'(Image: Getty Images)During her reality programme, simply called Katie, the TV personality revealed how the Freak Me vocalist left her “heartbroken badly”, explaining: “I’ve been hurt before. I’ve been heartbroken badly, when I split from Dane. He was the only guy who completely taught me about having your heart broken.”She continued: “I’ve always said that Dane’s the one who did that. Because of Dane, he’s made me have my barriers up and even with Pete, I’d like to say they all went down but there were a couple up still.Article continues below”Since splitting with Dane I have never let my barriers 100% down with anyone. Being heartbroken, that hurt. It’s not a nice feeling.”Katie Price and Peter Andre were married from 2005 to 2009(Image: Getty Images North America)Katie, who wed Peter Andre, Alex Reid and Kieran Hayler, although after her reality show confession, initially met Dane at the Wild Wild West film premiere in 1999, where sparks flew immediately, reports the Mirror.At that point, Dane had just gained recognition for his chart-topping collaboration Out of Your Mind with Victoria Beckham, which catapulted him to fame. Katie, just 18 at the time, had been building her career in the late ’90s as a topless model going by the name Jordan.Her ascent to fame was meteoric, and before long she was appearing on the front pages of numerous lads’ mags. However, the pair’s romance was reportedly riddled with allegations of cheating and trust problems.Dane was allegedly initially attracted to Katie’s glamour model persona, but her passion for being in the spotlight eventually became problematic. In her book, The Last Word, Katie’s mum Amy revealed that Katie wasn’t content in the relationship and that Dane became “jealous of her career”.Katie Price was married to Alex Reid from 2010 to 2012(Image: Getty Images)Despite appearing to be in a blissful romance, Katie once alleged that her partner had been unfaithful to her. He has refuted these accusations.Speaking on the Katie Price Show, she revealed: “He cheated on me bad. Oh my God, so bad.”She alleged he had supposedly been disloyal with a dancer in Ibiza, with video evidence of the woman discussing Katie. She continued: “So I was trying to get this video and I got it. When Dane came back, because we lived together, I said ‘Dane, just sit down, I’ve got something to show you’. I put it on and said, ‘So are you going to f****** explain that then?'”And he said ‘Oh no’, you know, denied it. And I just knew. Because then he went out with Sarah Bosnich, when he did the song with Victoria Beckham. Suddenly I wasn’t allowed to go away with them because there ‘wasn’t enough room’. Then he ended up with Sarah Bosnich, who was Victoria’s friend. I’ve just been betrayed and lied to and everything.”Katie Price’s third marriage was to Kieran Hayler(Image: Getty Images)Following their split, Katie buried the hatchet with Dane and reconnected with the performer six years ago during a segment of her reality programme My Crazy Life.She popped along to London nightspot Jakata to show her support for the singer’s group Boyz On Block after receiving an invitation from one of Dane’s mates, and was keen for a chat when she noticed him.With a mischievous sparkle in her gaze, Katie cooed: “Come here Dane.”Yet he informed her he was occupied, leaving Katie to moan: “Dane’s too busy for me again. It’s like another level with Dane. I’m just hanging on the side, he’s busy doing his thing.”Katie Price reunited with Dane Bowers on her reality show(Image: QUEST RED)Nevertheless, The Pricey subsequently embraced him and remarked: “Oh Dane, how are you my darling? Do you know what’s weird? You look older but it’s still your eyes [look the same]. Isn’t that weird?”She went on: “You was a really good singer and a really good dancer, why do you think I fell for you?”When you was fat, you could dance. You was fat back in the day and I loved you when you were like that and you broke my heart.”The reality personality then turned to one of Dane’s mates and declared: “I loved him so much. He was the love of my life.”Article continues belowWant all the biggest Showbiz and TV news straight to your inbox? Sign up for our free Daily Star Showbiz newsletter. More

    Huw Edwards clutches three bottles of fizz with beardy new look after BBC axe

    Ex-BBC News presenter Huw Edwards has been pictured for the first time in months, sporting a new look and was clutching three bottles of prosecco on his birthday13:22, 20 Aug 2025Huw Edwards had a dramatic fall from grace(Image: BBC)Shamed ex-BBC News anchor Huw Edwards has been spotted clutching bottles of prosecco amid claims he’s yet to return his BBC wages. Edwards, 64, was seen for the first time in half a year, sporting a drastically different appearance. Last year, Edwards admitted guilt to three charges of creating indecent images of children and has scarcely been seen in public since – last snapped vaping back in February.Fast forward six months, and the fallen news anchor was caught on camera on his birthday earlier this week, looking almost unrecognisable with mini bottles of prosecco in hand. The former BBC face was seen donning a fresh, short white stubbly beard and thick black-rimmed glasses as he stepped out.Edwards, now a convicted sex offender, was dressed in a light blue polo shirt, a dark navy jacket with large pockets and button detailing, paired with navy trousers and a black belt.Huw looked a far cry from his time as a BBC newsreader(Image: / SplashNews.com)He wore a stern expression as he was photographed holding onto three small bottles of bubbly, a baseball cap and a receipt, reports the Mirror.Despite reports last year that his wife Vicky Flind had initiated divorce proceedings, the disgraced former BBC News presenter, who once reported on monumental events including Queen Elizabeth’s death before his downfall, was also seen with his wedding ring still firmly in place.Article continues belowVicky and Edwards were wed for three decades and had five children together. Reports emerged in October 2024 that Vicky had initiated divorce proceedings and kicked him out of their family home after Edwards subjected his wife to absolute torment.Huw was seen carrying three mini bottles of prosecco(Image: / SplashNews.com)The disgraced presenter was spotted clutching the miniature bottles of bubbly as he made his way to his car in Swansea, Wales on his 64th birthday.Reports this week revealed that Edwards has infuriated BBC staff as the fallen star still refuses to hand back his £200,000 wages despite mounting pressure to do so. BBC chiefs disclosed last year that they had formally demanded the shamed newsreader return the money he pocketed following his arrest.Following Edwards’ 2023 arrest, the BBC kept paying his salary until his resignation in 2024. While the BBC insists they are pursuing Edwards for repayment of his earnings during that timeframe, it’s believed he hasn’t stumped up a single pound.Huw dressed in a blue polo shirt as he clutched on to three small bottles of fizz(Image: / SplashNews.com)”Everyone is raging about it – firstly at Huw, who is a disgrace, secondly that gutless bosses seem unwilling or unable to do anything about it,” a source told the Sun.In an earlier statement, the BBC declared: “Huw Edwards has not returned any money paid to him by the BBC after his arrest, in respect of any of his work for either BBC public service or the BBC’s commercial operations.”The BBC has asked for all the money paid to Huw Edwards by the BBC for the period November 2023 (arrest) and April 2024 (resignation) to be returned.”The television personality experienced a dramatic downfall in 2023 when allegations surfaced that an unidentified BBC presenter had shelled out tens of thousands of pounds for explicit photographs. A mother alleged that this had been ongoing since 2020, when her child was just 17, and continued for three years, fuelling her child’s drug addiction.Edwards sported a very different appearance(Image: / SplashNews.com)He was subsequently suspended from the BBC.Later, Edwards was identified by his wife Vicky in a statement where she revealed he had been “suffering from serious mental health issues” and was undergoing in-patient treatment.Further into the year, Edwards found himself under arrest during an unrelated investigation which led to the confiscation of his phone. This unveiled his involvement in WhatsApp conversations with Alex Williams.He eventually pleaded guilty to creating indecent images of children and received a six-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, along with an order to complete a sex offender programme.Article continues belowWant all the biggest Showbiz and TV news straight to your inbox?
