‘So it surprised her that Katie would do that. She doesn’t have any feelings for JJ, she’s just livid that Katie went behind her back and broke girl code.’

John, also known as JJ, is said to have caught Katie’s eye when they met following his appearance on the most recent series of MAFS UK last year.

A source previously told The Sun: ‘They’ve met a few times and are texting each other constantly. She’s really into him – this is the first man she’s actually been interested in since Carl.’

Katie had spoken of marrying and starting a family with Carl many times in recent years but she announced she had split from him as she took to social media while seeing the New Year in with her pal Kerry Katona.

JJ rose to prominence when he was paired with Bianca Petronzi on MAFS. When the the spark in their relationship fizzled he went on to exchange messages with transgender bride Ella behind Bianca’s back.

Katie and Carl previously split towards the end of November and unfollowed each other on Instagram but appeared to have reconciled for the Liverpool outing before going their separate ways once again.

Days later, Carl took a swipe at his ex-fiancée Katie Price as he posed while embracing a mystery woman’s legs, adorned with a tattoo reading ‘Game Over’.
