KATIE Price’s engagement to Kris Boyson is ‘fake’ claim her friends – and she’s just doing it for publicity.
Sources close to the 41-year-old star point out that the diamond ring she flashed during yesterday’s announcement on Loose Women is the same one she wore back in April this year – shortly before admitting she faked being engaged for attention.
Insiders say that the news was also a surprise to her exes Kieran Hayler and Peter Andre – and her kids with them, Bunny, Jett, Princess and Junior.
The Sun Online is told that her ex-husbands and children heard Katie’s news from Loose Women, not their mum.
“Katie didn’t tell any of her close friends or family, she just announced it on TV, and everyone was shocked,” says the insider.
“She didn’t even tell Kieran, which was a bit cheeky as technically they’re still married to each other.
“She’s had that ring for ages – she’s always asking Kris ‘when are you going to ask me to marry you?’ but nobody actually heard anything about a proposal.
“It’s all a bit convenient that it’s the same week her new single comes out. She’s desperate for the music to do well and to finally have success as a pop star.
“She’s now talking about getting a free holiday to Thailand for the wedding – and selling the pictures.”
Katie's rep said they had no comment to make.
Back in April, Katie flashed a huge diamond ring in an Instagram pic with Kris while on holiday in Thailand.
However, she later admitted to the Daily Star: "I do it on purpose. You know what I’m like! I’ve just got to stir the pot haven’t I? I love it."
And yesterday, Katie appeared on Loose Women flashing the same ring – and said Kris bought it for her.
Katie, who has been married three times and engaged four times before this, flashed the sparkler at the Loose Women – but didn’t actually use the word ‘engaged’, say anything about a proposal or a wedding.

“Kris bought the ring for that finger, so there you go, I’ve got love in my life. We [Kieran] would never have split up if he behaved himself.
"The thing is, he [Kris] puts me in my place, he's strict with me and I'm not used to that. He's a good guy, he's so good with Harvey, Harvey is obsessed with him.
"Things are actually going well. I've got the man. I'm happy."
She also confirmed that they’re trying for a baby – adding that she had a miscarriage earlier this year and they’re going to a fertility clinic to try and conceive.
