PETER ANDRE PULLS OUT OF 'I'M A CELEBRITY...'

Peter Andre has pulled out of covering 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' for 'This Morning' over rumours his ex-wife Katie Price is taking part.

Peter Andre infuriated his bosses at 'This Morning' after pulling out of covering 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' for them because of ex-wife Katie Price.

The 'Behind Closed Doors' singer had been due to fly out to Australia to report on the reality show for three weeks as part of his new role on the ITV morning programme.

However, he has now pulled out over suggestions Katie - also known as Jordan - is to enter the Australian outback.

He has reportedly told bosses it would be "totally improper" for him to appear.

A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Pete was really looking forward to going back to the jungle but as soon as he found out that Katie was going to appear, he said there was no chance in hell he would go.

"Pete reckons there's no way he could speculate on Katie's antics and any outback flirtations in an unbiased way.

"'This Morning' executives are livid and have done all they can to change his mind but Pete refuses to back down."

Peter - who originally met Katie when they both appeared on the show in 2004 - will now stay in the UK and look after the three children the couple raise together.

Although the glamour model hasn't been confirmed in the show's official line-up, it is thought she will enter the jungle a week after the other contestants.

'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' starts on Sunday (15.11.09) on ITV1 at 9pm.
