Just read it on bbc (need a lesson in linking, sorry).

They've asked for privacy...

What a horrid article - another load of mysogynistic crap from the Mail

And as for this;

'I reckon Jordan should ask herself some hard questions. Like, how many men would take on their girlfriend's extremely volatile disabled child, not just with good grace, but with what looks suspiciously like love?'

The usual DM tripe. Just read a few transcripts of their 'rows' in the always 'reliable' Mirror:

Episode 4

P: Im the good looking man with the ugly wife with the fake tits

K: This is the man who's got the timiest knob ever, it was only on my wedding night I thought holy fuck, I'm stuck with this. A button mushroom.

This just an example. They are both as bad as each other. If he was such a 'good guy' he would not provoke and play on her insecurities. A match made in Hell.

I think what they considered comedy has back fired spectacularly

AitchTwoOh · 13/05/2009 13:48

it's just that she always pops up on any threads mentioning their activities with some sort of official comment...

so is she NICE, then?

shhhh · 13/05/2009 13:48

Think its a tad unfair to ask MABS what her views of Kate are.....

I don't think MABS is claire either and from what I have heard/seen around mn she does appear to be a friend of hers/family. BUT think its unfair to ask such a personal thing.

Would we publically speak about our friends in such a way (unless annoymous.!) Think its putting her on the spot..I mean...as if she will turn around and say "Oh yeah, she used to be lovely but is now a knob"

MABS seems to have the balance right between what she does/doesn't say.

BUT that said,I think others are free to say their own opinion Good or bad

AitchTwoOh · 13/05/2009 13:50

and that's kinda my point, sssshhhh. it seems that whenever Mabs appears with an official comment that's supposed to quash all dissent.
i don't have the foggiest idea who she is in RL, but she sure gets immediate updates for someone who's just a friend of Jordan's aunt.

noddyholder · 13/05/2009 13:54

I know mabs and she is lovely and def not related to them in any way and just a good friend of KP

"P: Im the good looking man with the ugly wife with the fake tits

K: This is the man who's got the timiest knob ever, it was only on my wedding night I thought holy fuck, I'm stuck with this. A button mushroom."

Am I the only one who finds this quite funny

shhhh · 13/05/2009 14:17

TBH,looking at the news she has given us..imo its no different or better than what the press release/find out iykwim..

Hmm....thinking about what I posted before...I doubt I would publically share info on a famous friend..Each to their own

I recall in one of the K&P previous ITV2 series...Kate and peter discussing with their manager the fact that there was a leak in camp...

AitchTwoOh · 13/05/2009 14:19

tbh i've thougth about it and i think if someone self-identifies as being a friend of jordan then it's perfectly reasonable and polite to ask them what that person is like (particularly when she comes across as utterly vile on her own tv show).

glasjam · 13/05/2009 14:20

Yes that was the "ouch!" moment wasn't it when she made that jibe about earning all the money?! I think that episode was showing Peter Andre's ego expanding majorly - recording in the same studio as Michael Jackson while Jordan tinkered about on her ponies. What I didn't like about his outrage was the way that he said "How dare SHE speak to me like that" - he was so obviously addressing the audience rather than just having a go at his wife. It brought home just how wierdly they seem to communicate second-hand through the camera lens.

WhaleOilBeefHooked · 13/05/2009 14:33

I think he was speaking to their agent (or summat) then, Glas, rather than addressing the audience.

shhhh · 13/05/2009 14:35

I know what you are saying aitch but tbh I wouldn't give the truth on a friend to someone else unless that person knew what my view was anyway iykwim..

Just think its a bit unfair.

I know I would hate to hear the truth about what someone thinks of me...

AitchTwoOh · 13/05/2009 14:43

again, thst's kinda my point. does jordan know that her friend is reporting on here?

blondissimo · 13/05/2009 14:50

Yes glasjam and whaleoil - he was speaking to the other manager/manager's assistant, Nicola. I always feel a bit sorry for her as she is like a parent who has lost control of her children! I could see her preparing to have to step in as a bodyguard in that episode!

blondissimo · 13/05/2009 14:51

mabs are you nicola? (just kidding)

AitchTwoOh · 13/05/2009 14:52

was she the australian with the bad bra?

AitchTwoOh · 13/05/2009 14:52

unfortunate x-post...

blondissimo · 13/05/2009 14:55

Don't think she's Aussie? She was the only one with them when The Fight happened.

MABS · 13/05/2009 14:55

I am not 'reporting' anything i assure you, and everyone here is entirely entitled to their own opinions and to discuss anything they like.

I only came on to say that i understood it to be true, when someone on here was suggesting it's a scam.

If others choose to think i don't know kate or pete, that's up to them.

AitchTwoOh · 13/05/2009 15:17

but why would you be privy to a scam, how well do you know them? surely they'd both need to be putting on a show to the world... how else will they sell their various stories unless peopel around them believe that it's true and disseminate this information? you may well be 'a friend of the family said 'kate's devastated'' etc but it doesn't mean you're not being played like the rest of us.

blondissimo · 13/05/2009 15:31

I genuinely don't think it's a scam on KP's part, but I do have an inkling that PA has done this as a bit of a wake up call for KP. I can't imagine that a man who was pouring his heart out on TV a couple of weeks ago about his desire to have a baby with his wife in the near future and how much he loves her, would suddenly decide that he no longer wants to be with her again. That's just the impression I get. I think it is genuine, but I think they will get back together.

AitchTwoOh · 13/05/2009 15:35

"I think it is genuine, but I think they will get back together. "

y'see? it suits the brand perfectly that you think that.

i've got no idea whether it's true or not, but it's so not outwith the bounds of possibility for it to be just another piece of promo bull and if it were, the brand would need people attesting to its sincerity.

kinda fascinating, really. given that she's a soft pornographer and he's a washed-up one hit wonder, it's a modern parable or summat.

shhhh · 13/05/2009 15:49

BLONDISSIMO, feelings can change quite quickly you know....

Maybe he's been thinking about this for a while (its been reported he's consulted sol's x2 in the last 6 months..) and just went along with the publicity iykwim. Maybe she didn't fully undestand how bad things were for him....

I hate thinking back to it...but dh & I ( when bf&gf and newly living together) and split about 3 yrs into our relationship (10 yrs ago now..) I can honestly say I NEVER thought or expected dh to ever leave me BUT he did..
He walked out on me one morning, yeah we'd been arguing and I can now see I was nasty to him (he also has his faults) and he waved me off to work that morning only for me to come home to a note on the tv .

Gave me a wake up call and I realised that I was unfair to him blah de dah. Must admit it made me grow up and dh asked to get back with me 3 months later (having sold our home etc.). It changed me as well. Made me a stronger person and imo a bit of a nicer person esp to dh. I was a young cocky 21 yr old.

Maybe KP is similar to PA and maybe he's put on a brave face while knowing what could be the result in x months time. Maybe these recently published pics were the reasons that he thought enough is enough.

I mean,she has a career that makes he appear that she does nothing BUT have sex all day, she portrays herself in that way and maybe if the opposite was more relalistic then I can see why from PA pov. BUT please don't take that as me saying "oh she deserves for him to leave her when she's not sleeping with him iykwim..." noone deserves that BUT imo for a healthy relationship there has to be some intimacy...

BUT this is all hear say and the only ones who will and should know the truth is kate&peter. I don't even think family or friends should get privy to that info.

WhaleOilBeefHooked · 13/05/2009 15:53

The Porno Queen and the Has Been. Not a parable I remember studying at school. It would get the attention of the class though!
