Interesting time! When asked who made the best friendships while in the Australian jungle camp, Peter reminisced: ‘I mean I fell in love… it was an interesting time!’

After falling in love during their 2004 I’m A Celeb stint, Katie and Peter went onto marry a year later.

They tied the knot in a lavish princess-themed wedding at the grand Highclere Castle, which would later find fame as the setting for period drama Downton Abbey.

Their romance did not last though, and after welcoming two children, the couple divorced in 2009 after more than four years of marriage. 

The glamour model is also mother to son Harvey, 20, from her relationship with Dwight Yorke and Jett, nine, and daughter Bunny, eight, with estranged husband Kieran Hayler. 

Peter went on to marry doctor Emily MacDonagh, 33, with whom he now shares two children, daughter Amelia, eight, and son Theordore, five.

Mum-of-five Katie spoke of their jungle romance during an appearance on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity…A Jungle Story in 2020. 

She admitted: ‘I was just fixated on Pete. People saw our relationship develop. Having Pete there in the jungle did make it easier because you’d fall asleep thinking of him and wake up seeing him there.

‘If you haven’t clicked with someone in there, I think it’s quite hard and lonely. ‘It was a proper love story and I think me and Pete are the only ones who had kids come out of it.’

The reality star was then shown footage of herself during her jungle stint ,speaking about her growing feelings for the singer, where she admitted: ‘I get on really well with Pete, he’d be the type of guy I’d go for, but I have a boyfriend.’

Hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly watched the same clip in a home cinema with Ant admitting: ‘She had a boyfriend – I’d forgotten that’.

Katie was dating Scott Sullivan at the time but said: ‘I know he’s not the one’, after hitting it off with Pete.

Reminiscing on the public interest in Katie and Peter’s romance, Ant said: ‘People love a romance, they love a love story and it just developed as the series went on.’

Katie went on to have several failed marriages but believes former Love Island star Carl Woods is the one.

Last month, Peter and Katie’s children Princess and Junior revealed that they want to follow in their parents’ footsteps by going on I’m A Celebrity.

Despite Junior starting a music career and his sister still being in school, they joked that they ‘came from the jungle’ and hope they will get the chance to be on the hit show. 

Junior told Metro: ‘I think we have to do that! To represent! We came from the jungle, didn’t we?’ while Princess added: ‘That’s something I really want to do. It would actually be good to go on there, knowing both our parents were on there, that’s how they met.’

Junior added: ‘And the show’s so amazing, it’s been going on for so long, so to be able to do that would actually be a very big achievement.’
