take a deep breath, smile and know you will come out the other side happier.

and I might be tempted to cut up some of his clothes at the very least.

get to a solicitor asap.

LTB obviously.

Then remain dignified. Do not stoop to his level.
Ensure you are financially secure. Get your pre nup out and check the small print.
Seek support from close family members.
Find a solicitor fast.
Ignore his attempts to manipulate you but where possible remain amicable around the children.

And for the best friend.

I really don't care but expect whoever has taken over from Max Clifford will be merrily peddling her story to the highest bidder. Not so much a personal tragedy as an opportunity to revive a flagging career. Hmm

From all accounts, she is a strong, independent woman. I think she'll kick him to the curb and get on with it. Not saying she won't be sad, but she doesn't strike me as the forgiving type.

Don't worry about it love, send the eldest 3 to your first husband I hear he loves them a lot? They could bond with their new sister! As for the little one and the new arrival, I'm sure you have a billion of your entourage to give you a hand Wink

I'd say that Katie Price will be significantly better off than most women who would find themselves in the same situation. No amount of money can compensate for the feelings of betrayal and the pain I'm sure she's going through but at least she will have the financial resources to deal with all the practical concerns that will arise as a result of this. That will help her recovery enormously.

I don't follow celebrity stories and would be far more worried in practical terms about the many women currently going through similar or equally bad situations with very limited resources (many a pregnant mother of 4 has ended up in Refuge). But if I were to meet KP or if she was reading this, I'd like her to know that I feel enormous sympathy for her situation. No matter how well off you are being shat on from a great height hurts and it's horrible to be in emotional pain no matter who you are. The betrayal of her best friend will cut like a knife because the one person she would instinctively turn to in order to get through this is the person half responsible for causing the pain in the first place.

See, I don't think she is a very strong independent woman (financial assets aside). She seems unable to function on her own, she has rushed into relationship after relationship. I think she craves security and this will hit her hard. I really feel for her, I think she is insecure.

mammadiggingdeep · 07/05/2014 20:17

Exactly what I was thinking...she's not independent at all. She constantly has a house full of people, friends, family, employees. She has had a man constantly since she was 18. Her poor kids...another man in/out of her life (and theirs) within 18 months.

Eekaman · 07/05/2014 23:40

And an ongoing poor choice of men at her side too, not many have stuck around have they?

QuintsKazooo · 07/05/2014 23:42

Write a book.
Find a new man. Marry him in haste, and have a few more kids. In whatever order suits your wallet and financial planning/income levels.

TakeMeUpTheNorthMountain · 07/05/2014 23:44

Id feel sorry no matter who she was. I would also like her to sit down and talk to some one about what happened in her life when she was young that makes her crave love and stability so much she cannot be on her own.

I would also wish for her that she could have one actual friend in the world. How lonesome she must be.

spankingnewme · 08/05/2014 22:59

I didn't know she'd had her fourth child?? How did I miss that? With who? The cheating one?

ohldoneedtogetagrip · 08/05/2014 23:16

yep the cheating one..

Sunnyshine · 08/05/2014 23:27

Yes spanking with the cheating one ( 9 months old) and is 6 months pregnant with the 5th one with said cheating one
