Katie Price, 48, publicly flirted with newly-single reality star Jake Quickenden during The Hair and Beauty Awards at The AO Arena in Manchester on Saturday, just days after she was photographed without her wedding ring. The former glamour model, who is married to Dubai-based businessman Lee Andrews, took to the stage to present an award alongside Quickenden, who split from his wife Sophie Church in May.
In a video obtained by The Sun, Price recounted a recent appearance on This Morning, where host Ben Shephard allegedly gave her dating advice. 'Do you know what he said to me? Do you want to know what he said to me?' Price asked the crowd, before revealing: 'He said to me, do you know what? All the men you've been with, do you know who you would suit, who I'd fit with? And it was actually you.' She gestured towards Quickenden, who held a bouquet of flowers.
Quickenden's Shocked Reaction
A clearly shocked Quickenden exclaimed: 'Me? No he didn't.' Price then pressed: 'Are you blowing me out? Is that a yes or a no? I'm putting you on the spot.' Quickenden laughed as he agreed she was, prompting Price to ask: 'Am I your type or not?' He replied: 'You're a beautiful lady, Katie, get along with the awards!' before adding, 'Cheers Ben Shephard.'
Price then proceeded to read out the award she was presenting with Quickenden, who has been single since his split from Church. The couple, who married in 2022 and have two children together, formally separated after a series of 'long conversations' about having drifted apart.
Price's Rocky Marriage to Lee Andrews
Meanwhile, Price's own relationship with Andrews has been turbulent. The pair wed in January, just days after meeting, but Andrews vanished earlier this year and was later revealed to have been jailed in Dubai. An extraordinary few months have followed, including allegations of scams and a travel ban preventing him from leaving the UAE. Andrews' precise whereabouts are currently unclear.
In the last few days, Price was pictured soaking up the sunshine in Ibiza in a tiny bright yellow bikini with her son Harvey, with her 'Owned by Lee' tattoo visible among her extensive collection – despite her wedding ring again conspicuously absent from her finger.
Public Display and Ongoing Speculation
The flirty exchange with Quickenden comes as speculation continues over the state of Price's marriage. Her wedding ring has been notably absent in recent photos, adding to the mystery surrounding Andrews' situation. Price's on-stage antics have drawn attention, but she has not publicly commented on her marital status.
The Hair and Beauty Awards event, held at The AO Arena, saw Price and Quickenden share the stage, with Price's bold questioning leaving Quickenden visibly taken aback. The interaction has since gone viral, with fans and media outlets alike discussing the implications for Price's personal life.
