OK, I'll caviat the whole thing by saying it hasn't changed my opinion of Katie Price / Jordan at all, but I think this programme on ITV2 is not helping PA at all.

If you don't want your kids to know about all the hassle between the parents, one good way to ensure that is to NOT SELL YOUR STORY ON TV.

Grrrrrr...

OK I could switch over and I have now but I did think his side of the story would be differnet.

I was flicking through Heat magazine in the paper shop the other week and I think they are both as bad as each other.
YEah ok she is out there flaunting it all but seriously how mixed up and sad is that?? It is to me a sign of someone with some serious self esteem issues.

He on the other hand is moping around broken hearted saying that he isn't going to say anything then fills an interview with veiled comments that actually make hime sound really nasty and spiteful. There has been nothing dignified about his almost silence at all.

Hmm. I don't really like either of them. He's certainly getting a lot of publicity out of "saying nothing". And his insistence on calling her 'Jordan' and not 'Katie' in interviews is hacking me off a bit.

Come on Pete, you married a glamour model. What were you expecting? A stepford wife?

He looks good though, I'll give him one that.

Having never watched any of their programmes until the split, I thought he came across as a very friendly polite person, Everytime he got out of the car, or left somewhere he seemed very genuine in thanking or saying goodbye to the person.
Yes I am sure that some of the "woe is me" in Ikea was for effect but as the programme (and the time) went on I think he improved.
I think a lot of him saying he wouldn't comment was at the begining before KP came out and said quite a lot.
He did call her Katie quite a lot in the show which I found endearing!!
I am sad I know

Agree with Haribo

I have to say I thought last night's programme was bloody hilarious, especially the choice of music, the bit where he fell off the stage and then the fact that something went wrong with the broadcast half way through .

Not that I don't feel sorry for the bloke and his children (and katie too really), break ups are always sad.

I would struggle to make judgements on either his or her character from what's portrayed in the media though. The simple fact is, I don't know either of them.

i do have a soft spot for pa, but i think he is a bit of a sap and imagine how embarrasing it must be to be out with him and have him breaking into song/doing funny voices all the time.

i read in the press though that he had his "life changing moment" in the ikea carpark so when he was doing his moping routine walking around the shop i thought it was building up to us seeing the breakdown but they must have cut that out.

he is a terrible singer though, his new song and vide are soooo bad.

i cant believe that anyone has bought it bcause they like it, it must be the sympathy vote.

My MIL came over on a flight from Cyprus last weekend and he was on the flight too, he was very sweet apparently, chatted to loads of people on the plane, went on the bus with them all to the plane, had loads of photos and autographs and generally charmed everyone of -a-- certain age on the plane (why is it old ladies love these chaps? She doesn't stop going on about how lovely and polite he was)

VinegarTits · 18/08/2009 10:18

I like his new song

Pinkjenny · 18/08/2009 10:19

I like Claire's husband.

is anyone as great as they try to make themselves out to be?

itsmeolord · 18/08/2009 12:56

YANBU.

PA for example is a twat.

As is his ex.

They are both as bad as each other. She is clearly having a mad must go out and get a bloke to make my ex who left me very publicly jealous phase.
He is clearly having a I am a victim and i am going to subtly slag off my ex even though i left her publicly and she is probably feeling pretty humiliated and confused phase.

The whole public war is boring and will not do their children any good at all when they see it all years later.
If Peter Andre is all about the kids then he needs to shut the fuck up about them and stop having them filmed by the highest bidder.
If Katie is so over him then she needs to shut up about him and keep her knickers on. And tame her scary breastage.

Nancy66 · 18/08/2009 12:56

He's a nice guy - he's just not very talented.

sunfleurs · 18/08/2009 13:23

I honestly think she went a bit nuts after he left and lets face it who wouldn't? Was apparently very unexpected, leading to mad behaviour for a few weeks afterwards, she calmed down a bit then and seemed to pull herself together. He should have just kept his trap shut and let her get over the shock, but no there was pictures of him crying on his Mum's shoulder, staged Super Dad pictures, footage of him storming nobly from court having won his libel case etc. I defy anyone not to be sent nuts by your ex OH behaving like this. He is being very clever about this.

I thought he was a bit toxic during the filming, she was just up front unpleasant but he seemed to be king of the smarmy comment, I was married to one like that and its infuriating. Katie Price comes across as pretty unpleasant alot of the time but doesn't pretend otherwise, he likes to be seen as Mr Nice Guy.

As for his "music" it is and always has been shite. Nuff said.

iliketurquoise · 18/08/2009 13:36

i thought i saw Chantelle Houghton in the birthday party of princess.

iliketurquoise · 18/08/2009 13:38

i cant say much about them, but i aggree that it must be horrible to see pics of ex with other men like that on newspapers, as he says he still loves her.
