Ant McPartlin reveals Katie Price attempted to seduce Declan Donnelly during the 2004 I’m a Celebrity after-party, despite her relationship with Peter Andre

In a candid moment from his new autobiography, Ant McPartlin has revealed that Katie Price, then known as Jordan, tried to make a play for his co-host Declan Donnelly at the wrap party for the 2004 series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!. The story, shared by Ant and Dec in their joint memoir, recounts how the glamour model, who was already getting close to Peter Andre in the jungle, attempted to seduce Dec at the event.

Katie, who was still dating Scott Sullivan when she entered the jungle, had a whirlwind romance with Pete during their time on the show. The two became one of the most memorable pairs in the series’ history, with their jungle relationship drawing significant media attention. However, despite her budding relationship with Pete, Katie seemed to take an interest in Dec as well, according to Ant’s account.

The tension unfolded after filming ended, at the series wrap party, where Ant claims Katie made it clear she was keen on Dec. Despite her flirtations, Dec, ever the professional, was uninterested. According to Ant, “She made a play for Dec, but he wasn’t having any of it.” The story didn’t end there – Katie’s mother allegedly got involved, attempting to encourage a spark between her daughter and Dec.

Though Dec’s focus remained firmly on his career with Ant, Katie’s flirtation with him at the time is just one of many behind-the-scenes moments that have since emerged from the I’m A Celebrity franchise. The two Geordie hosts have been friends with Katie for years, and this revelation highlights the often surprising interactions that happen off-camera.

Katie, meanwhile, went on to end her relationship with Scott after the show and began a very public romance with Pete Andre, which dominated tabloid headlines for years. Their relationship seemed to capture the hearts of the British public, becoming one of the most talked-about celebrity love stories at the time.

For Dec, however, the entire situation was rather unremarkable. His attention was focused on his long-standing partnership with Ant, which continued to flourish on television. The revelation from Ant’s autobiography provides fans with yet another insight into the backstage drama and personal dynamics that shaped I’m A Celebrity, and it adds another layer of intrigue to the ongoing narrative surrounding the show.

The revelation is a reminder of how I’m A Celebrity, which first aired in 2002, became a breeding ground for drama, relationships, and unforgettable moments that continue to capture the public’s imagination. Katie’s flirtation with Dec may have been just a fleeting moment in the grand scheme of things, but it adds another chapter to the rich history of the series, filled with quirky anecdotes and unexpected twists.

This new story is sure to fuel ongoing discussions among fans of the show, who have long been fascinated by the behind-the-scenes lives of the stars who enter the Australian jungle. As Katie Price continues to stay in the spotlight with her public persona, moments like this continue to spark curiosity about her time in the jungle, especially in light of her infamous romance with Pete.

As for Dec, his focus remains squarely on his work, with his partnership with Ant continuing to thrive in both television and public life. The incident is merely a funny anecdote from the past, but it showcases the nature of celebrity life – where even the most professional of TV hosts aren’t immune to unexpected attention.

In the end, Ant and Dec’s memoir gives fans a glimpse of the entertaining, and sometimes bizarre, world behind I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!. Whether it’s Katie’s flirtation with Dec or the unforgettable moments of jungle drama, the show has always offered a mix of excitement, humour, and surprises.
