Whooah everyone!
Just started this thread to see if anyone was as embarrassed as me at secretly fancying Pete!
I actually think that deep deep down inside, KP is just as vulnerable, hurt etc as anyone else.
But I think she has this public persona to uphold, which means she will go to any lengths to hold her head high, and avoid breaking down in public.
She has had a lot to deal with in her life, ok some of it brought on by herself, but I think she deals with things in the only way she knows how - going out and getting drunk and having a good laugh.
I know I have certainly done that on many an occasion - and then woken up the next day feeling wretched, and hoping that no-one had a camera. She can't really avoid them.
I am not defending her as I do think the way that she talked to Pete is a bit over the top, and when they were together, she seemed like she was very dismissive of him and that he was annoying her.
However, I do think she is just highly insecure - did you see the last episode when she said that if he went on a lads holiday she wanted to know the room number and that she wanted him to call her with a cameraphone to prove he was in that room and with noone else!
Maybe she needs to be with someone a bit more low key.
