As with most of the private moments in her life, it was played out in a very public arena.
Pregnant Katie Price announced the end of her third marriage on Twitter – accusing her husband of having an affair with her best friend.
The former glamour model, better known as Jordan, told almost two million followers that part-time stripper Kieran Hayler, with whom she has one child and is expecting another, had been having a ‘full blown sexual affair’ with Jane Pountney.
But the husband of Miss Price's 'best friend' has tonight denied his wife had a seven month affair with the star's husband.
Businessman Derrick Pountney, 51, said tears had been shed at his home today during crisis talks over the feud between Katie, his wife of 11 years Jane, and Katie's third husband Kieran.
Derrick said the row, which Katie launched on Twitter, had been a 'storm in a teacup' but could not say if either marriage would survive. A source close to Miss Price has tonight told The Sun that the glamour model had suspected 'for weeks' that something was 'going on'.
Derrick, who has a daughter and son with Jane, said: 'We are good friends of Katie and Kieran's and have been good friends of Katie for a good 20 years.
'A lot of this drama has been a storm in a teacup and there's a lot of misunderstandings to sort out.'
She said she had ‘caught them’ and branded Mrs Pountney a ‘wh*re’, ‘sl*t’ and ‘home-wrecker’, while describing Hayler as a ‘disgusting human being’.
Mrs Pountney, 49, has been one of Miss Price’s closest friends for almost two decades and was a bridesmaid when the 35-year-old married Hayler, 27, little more than a year ago. She was pictured with the couple and her own husband Derrick, 52, after the lavish ceremony in the Bahamas.
But it seems that friendship is over, with Miss Price writing on Twitter: ‘Sorry to say me and Kieran are divorcing. Him and my best friend Jane Pountney been having a full blown sexual affair for seven months.’
Miss Price, who is six months pregnant, has an eight-month-old son, Jett, with Hayler. The couple got engaged within weeks of meeting and married in January last year.
Mr Pountney added: 'Jane and Katie have had a good old chat here this afternoon.
'Will she and Kieran break up, or could they get back together? I don't really know.
'As for Jane and I working things out... again, I don't know.
'This 'affair' has not really happened like it has been portrayed. I've known about it for about four weeks myself. All four of us are good friends, but things between Kieran and Jane just went a bit far.
'There has not been a 'full blown' affair going on, it was more like a drunken kiss.
'Now Katie has gone and put the whole thing for everyone to read about on Twitter, which she didn't really need to do, and a drunk kiss has turned into a full on affair.
'That's not the case. I knew about what had happened before today, it's not new to me.
"There were tears shed here today, all sorts went on. But Katie and Jane talked, they have been friends a long time and they are OK now.
'I was at Katie's house earlier today and brought Kieran round here. I see myself as the peacemaker of the group.
'Everyone is just about on speaking terms now. I hope they can work it out.'
He said it was a 'bit of a shock' to see Katie's accusation on Twitter.
In an interview shortly after they wed, Miss Price declared that the former builder would receive ‘f*** all’ of her estimated £45million fortune if they split because ‘it’s what will keep us together’.
Miss Price, who has four children by three fathers, arrived with Hayler for a showdown at the Pountneys’ five-bedroom detached home in an affluent West Sussex village. They were quickly let in shortly before the curtains were drawn at 3pm.
