Peter Andre, the soon-to-be ex-husband of Katie Price, is taking some sort of legal action against her for implying that he was unfaithful during their marriage. Though he doesn’t specify just what action he’s taking, one can presume it will be a libel suit of some sort. Katie is doing a bunch of press right now as her 32 book is being released. She’s 31 mind you. That’s quite the epic rate of publication, though her books are obviously ghost written. Anyhoo, Katie is talking to any and everyone about her marriage, and is being super passive-aggressive in her responses. And Peter’s pissed.

Peter Andre is taking legal action against his estranged wife Katie Price after she questioned his fidelity on GMTV yesterday morning.

The 31-year-old told presenter Ben Shephard that she hoped any future partners would be ‘faithful’. Asked whether that meant Andre had strayed during the marriage, she responded: ‘Anyway, next question.’ Shephard pressed her further, asking: ‘Was Pete not faithful?’ Price made a deliberate pause before she replied: ‘I don’t know. Was he? I never said anything.’… ‘Well, you know when you split up with someone you hear things, so who knows what’s true, what’s not? But as far as I know I think he was faithful.’

Andre has previously insisted he has had no involvement with anyone else. In his column for New! magazine he said: ‘I can hold my head up high and say I’ve been 100 per cent faithful throughout my marriage and still am. And any reports suggesting otherwise are totally hurtful and false.’

Later this afternoon, Katie made sure she gained maximum impact at a book signing at London’s Selfridge’s in a sapphire blue leotard and matching tutu. And just to make sure she wrestled back the spotlight from estranged husband Andre, she turned up on the arm of muscle bound male model Anthony Lowther, who she famously partied with on her notorious trip to Ibiza. At the department store to launch new ghost-written book Sapphire, Katie wore a typically outrageous look, while Lowther and a few more similarly bulked up guys just wore blue underpants.

…But the love is clearly waning as Katie couldn’t resist the opportunity to launch a thinly veiled attack on Andre, hinting his decision to play the doting father in public to Princess – and her first child Harvey – is a cynical ploy. She said: ‘I haven’t slated him or anything like that, but one good thing that’s come out of it – he’s actually doing things for the kids and it’s really nice to see. Whereas me, I’m not doing any like media stuff with the kids because I don’t want to do that, but it’s good to see that Pete’s actually taking the kids out.’

Damn that’s annoying. She didn’t technically say he was unfaithful or she even thought or worried he was unfaithful. She just said she’d heard some things, but wrapped it up with “But as far as I know I think he was faithful.” It’s cold and bitchy and totally clear what she’s doing, but Katie’s so vague about it I can’t help but wonder how Peter can actually call her on it.

And the whole implication that he’s spending time with their kids in public just to look good is low. Peter is definitely photographed more with the kids than her, but I think most people assumed that’s because she’s flat-out not with the kids as much. Katie’s trying to turn the tables and say she’s not with them in public as much because she’s not trying to use her kids to look good.

If nothing else their divorce is going to make for some incredibly catty gossip. It’s pretty clear Katie is especially intent on sinking to whatever depths she needs to in order to get attention. I feel sorta badly for Peter but really badly for their kids. I’d bet anything they have a lifetime as divorce pawns ahead of them.
