KATIE Price attempted to ‘seduce’ Dec by ‘cornering him’ at I’m A Celeb wrap party, claims Ant McPartlin
According to the presenter duo, the flirtation occurred when Katie appeared on I’m A Celeb back in 2004, for its third series.
In Ant and Dec's joint 2009 autobiography named Ooh! What A Lovely Pair, Ant said even Katie’s mum was involved in trying to charm Dec.
Katie was dating Scott Sullivan at the time, but despite flying to Australia to see her, she ended up pursuing a relationship with Peter Andre in the jungle.
But at the wrap party of that same series, Ant’s words suggest she turned her attention to Dec.
Ant recalled: “The other thing I remember from that party is doing shots with Kerry, and Jordan [Katie's glamour model alter-ego] chasing after Dec, who she had propositioned during her departure interview.

“He managed to avoid her all night, but her mum did corner him a couple of times and try to set him up with her. He wasn't having any of it."
Dec was single at the time, having just come out of an 11 year relationship with Clare Buckfield.
Katie ended up having her jungle romance though, with Peter Andre.
Peter was Katie's first husband after they met on I'm A Celebrity in 2004.

The couple were married from 2005 to 2009 and had two children - Junior and Princess Tiaamii.
In the days that followed their split in May 2009, it was claimed they'd had a huge bust up after she was caught on a secret night out with her hunky riding instructor Andrew Gould.
Hoping to keep her partying with Andrew a secret amid claims of Pete's "jealousy", she was forced to come clean when she was pictured on the front page of the newspaper with him.
However, they both denied any suggestion they'd been unfaithful but in 2012 she revealed Pete had ended their three-and-a-half-year marriage because he thought otherwise.
Pete has spoken about his and Katie’s children on This Morning, telling Alison Hammond: “They're the only jungle babies. They're the only ones to be born from the show I believe."
