Peter Andre & Katie Price splitting after almost half a decade is a respectable length of wedlock in the entertainment world and it all started and ended with reality TV.

We’d like to reflect on the couple in happier times with a string of TV hits including: When Jordan Met Peter, Jordan & Peter: Laid Bare, Jordan & Peter: Marriage and Mayhem, Katie & Peter: The Next Chapter and Katie & Peter: The Baby Diaries.

It started with an onscreen flirtatious couple meeting in 2004 on the celebrity graveyard show, “I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!”

In 2005, still in the first year of meeting, they held a wedding ceremony devoid of either class or dignity at Highclere Castle, Hampshire, paid for almost in whole by OK magazine. But it was and still is hugely entertaining.

Two beautiful babies were born. Junior, in 2006 and in 2007 they had another child and gave her the name of Princess Tiaamii.

Katie and Peter: The Next Chapter, was a startling window onto their marriage via reality TV. In it we got to see the couple re-enact sex scenes in front of the kids, something that Katie got a bit embarrassed about later.

“I know it’s disgusting, but we get carried way. It’s so easy to forget cameras are there.”

Their 2006 album duet, “A Whole New World”, gained platinum status in the UK but didn’t quite win over the critics.

But with such a willingness to share their lives for profit, cracks in the relationship began to appear to their audience. 2008/09 was the year of gossip and speculation on the state of their marriage. Stressed perhaps further by Katies naked ambition for the US audience.
