Katie Price tried to seduce Dec at I'm a Celebrity party says co-host Ant McPartlin
Katie Price allegedly attempted to seduce I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here's Declan Donnelly, according to his co-host Ant McPartlin.
Former glamour model and media personality Price may be best known for her jungle love story with British-Australian singer Peter Andre, however, it turns out she may have originally had her eye on a very different cast member in the beginning.
That's according to co-host Ant McPartlin anyway.

The revelation was published in the presenting duo's 2009 autobiography Ooh! What A Lovely Pair in which McPartlin claimed that Price had attempted to seduce his co-star, Declan Donnelly, during the wrap party for the 2004 series.
In the book, McPartlin, 48, recalled how the now 46-year-old model had made her interest towards Donnelly, 49, clear.
"The other thing I remember from that party is doing shots with Kerry [Katona], and Jordan [Price's former glamour model alter-ego] chasing after Dec, who she had propositioned during her departure interview," he wrote.
McPartlin then went on to claim that even after his friend and co-host had rejected Price's advances, her mother had 'cornered' him and asked about a potential romance with her daughter.
"He managed to avoid her all night, but her mum did corner him a couple of times and try to set him up with her. He wasn't having any of it," he added.
After facing rejection from the TV presenter, Price went on to solidify her relationship with Andre and the rest, as they say, is history.
Prior to making her entrance in the ITV jungle, the model had been in a relationship with Scott Sullivan, however, the pair would eventually split up after she grew close to singer Andre in the jungle.
Price would later go on to wed the 'Mysterious Girl' singer in a lavish wedding in 2005, going on to welcome two children together before going through a high-profile divorce four years later.
Andre would go on to find love with doctor Emily MacDonagh, while price would go on to re-marry two more times in the following years, to Alex Reid and Kieran Hayler.
Despite going their separate ways in 2009, Price and Andre remain one of the show's biggest romance stories, with the singer even referring to their children Junior and Princess as the show's only 'jungle babies' in a This Morning interview last year.
