The glamour model has allowed her pop star ex to see stepson Harvey from her relationship with Dwight Yorke.

In his New column, Peter said: “Things are amicable between Kate and me at the moment and I’m really keen to keep it this way for the sake of the children.

Katie Price has admitted that she works with the paparazzi to organise staged photo shoots.

The glamour model is often vocal about the way the paparazzi treat her and frequently criticises their behaviour.

The star has said that she arranges with photographers to receive a percentage of the money made from selling the picture.

In an interview with The Guardian, she said: “I did it once when I split with Pete and the paps were everywhere, and I thought, ‘F**k this, I’m going to do my own picture.’

“I did it and got 50 grand for it and it went in The Sun, and I thought, ‘F**k you lot, I’ve got the picture so p*ss off.’”

On whether this had been done before, she said: “I think [ex-manager] Dave Read might have set up some, but I was naive to it all.

“Well even if people set them up, you know, no-one should have a problem with that ‘cos it’s part of the game, and I think anyone who does set them up is smart, because then they get the money for it.”

She then went on to criticise the paparazzi further claiming that she thought she would be killed by the media: “I know I will die in a car crash. When I’m in the car [the paparazzi] try and box me in. Basically, I will die in a car crash.”

The bookmaker has said that Josie is most likely to win the reality show with odds of 4/6. Corin is second favourite to win with odds of 11/4 and Sam Pepper is third with odds of 7/1.

Cheryl Cole has decided to release her next album under her married name, reports suggest.

The singer is currently separated and will soon be divorcing her footballer husband Ashley Cole but is to keep his surname rather then returning to her maiden name Tweedy.

A source told The Sun: “Cheryl has decided her married name will stay. She feels the most successful period of her career has been under the name Cole.

“She’s established in Europe. Going back to her maiden name Tweedy would be confusing.

“It also shows she is bigger than Ashley and prepared to be grown up about a difficult time in her life.”

The move is said to be influenced by Tina Turner after the star kept her husband’s name after their 1976 divorce.

The source confirmed: “She is a fan of Tina Turner. Tina was divorced during her career but decided to stick with her married name because it was how she was best known.”

Cheryl is due to perform the first single from her new album on the X Factor in October.

Danny Cipriani ended his relationship with Kelly Brook because she was too clingy, reports suggest.

Kelly was said to be shocked when she was dumped by Danny and is now on holiday in the Caribbean.

Speaking to Reveal, a source said: “She used to ring him up to eight times a day but Danny didn’t have anything to say after the third call. Once she even rang him to say she couldn’t find her earrings.

“And when they did go out, she would take up to three hours to get ready, this would infuriate him.”

They added: “Kelly knew it was coming but it was still a shock to her, she is unlikely to have ever been the one dumped before. They made a great couple but as time wore on they couldn’t handle each other’s traits.”
