Katie Price believes Peter Andre was “nobody” before their romance.
The 45-year-old star married the pop singer in 2005 after they met on the hit reality TV series ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ and Katie now claims their relationship changed his career.
Appearing on Anything Goes with James English, Katie said: “Whenever we worked together, I always got paid more and made sure we had separate contracts.
“I think that was a bit difficult for him too. I said, ‘Wait a minute, you’ve only just turned up in the jungle, I’ve already got a career going. You had a song that was like, ‘How many years ago was that? You’ve got to earn it.'”
“This is the truth, I don’t care what anyone says, I recreated Pete. I created him.
“He wasn’t human before he went into the jungle, and that’s the truth.”
Peter, 51, actually had chart success in the mid-90s with singles such as “Flava,” “I Feel You,” and “Mysterious Girl.”
But Katie believes their high-profile relationship changed the course of his career.
The outspoken star, who was married to Peter from 2005 to 2009, said: “He had this one hit, about ten years ago, and I think he forgot where it came from.”
Earlier this year, Katie said Peter never really loved her.
Speaking to Grace Dent, Katie asked: “Was he in love with me? I don’t really know. I don’t know if it was all an act, I don’t know, but I was in love with him.”
“I’m tired of relationships because I feel like I give, I give, I give, and then they don’t like it because I’m independent and don’t have to rely on them.
“It’s just my defense mechanism.”
