Katie Price openly flirted with Jake Quickenden at an awards show on Saturday night (August 15), with new reports suggesting the exchanges went "further than a one-off exchange." The 48-year-old reality star was seen flirting with the This Morning star while on stage at the Hair and Beauty Awards in Manchester, where Jake was hosting the HBA Choice Award gong.
Flirty Banter on Stage
During the event, Katie referenced Jake's This Morning co-star Ben Shephard, suggesting he would "suit" her. She asked Jake: "So I was on This Morning the other day with Ben Shephard, are you not good friends with him? You are aren't you?" Jake replied: "I like Ben yeah, why what has he done?" Katie continued: "He said to me, 'do you know what? All the men you've been with, do you know who you would suit, who I'd put you with?' And it was actually you!"
Jake appeared flustered as she added: "Are you blowing me out? Is that a yes or a no? I'm putting you on the spot," with Jake confirming: "You are." Katie then pressed: "Am I your type or not", to which he responded: "You're a beautiful lady, Kate, get on with the awards! Cheers Ben Shephard!"
Source Claims 'Jokingly Propositioning'
A source at the event told the Mirror: "Katie was flirting a lot with Jake and jokingly propositioning him. There was a lot of back and forth, and there's a certain rapport between them. They had a hug when he came off stage and had a giggle together."
The source added: "Jake was hosting and he called the night the Katie Price show. When she arrived people were falling over themselves for her. Jake gave lots of nods to her throughout his speech and she answered back. Her table was close to the stage and so she was able to engage in plenty of banter which went back and forth. It was very much both sides." An onlooker said Katie was 'on form' and the crowd was 'lining up' to take pics with her.
Marriage Speculation
Katie was there to present an award and also support her son Junior, who performed at the show. The flirting comes following speculation that Katie's marriage to Lee could be over. A representative for Katie surprisingly replied "no comment" when asked if the pair were still together.
