Amid rumours that Katie Price and MAFS’ JJ Slater have been spending time together, his co-star Georges reveals why it won’t work out
She rang in the New Year by declaring that she was single, following a three-year on/off relationship with Carl Woods. But it appears Katie Price wasted no time getting back on the dating scene, with rumours that she’s grown close to Married At First Sight star JJ Slater.
ESSEX BOY
But JJ’s co-star Georges Berthonneau exclusively tells Closer he’s not convinced the couple will have a happy ever after. He reveals, “JJ is the biggest ladies’ man. He’s made a ton of money, so he only hangs out with models now. Katie will be obsessed with him – she’s known to love Essex guys and he’s all about that vibe. She’ll end up heartbroken because he definitely won’t be in it for the long run. He’ll want a younger, newer model soon enough. They both need to be with someone in the limelight to raise their profiles, so it’s probably a mutually beneficial situation for now. He wants to keep his name out there.”
Asource reported earlier this month that Katie and JJ had “met a few times” and were “constantly texting”. They added, “She’s really into him –this is the first man she’s actually been interested in since Carl.”
Shortly after initial romance rumours began swirling, former Page 3 model Katie, 45, was pictured looking cosy with reality star JJ, 31, during a night out in Newcastle’s Bobby’s Bar. According to reports, the mum-of-five was letting her hair down following her appearance in the adult panto Big Dick Whittington and His Pussy. Clad in a leather catsuit, party girl Katie allegedly left the bar at 2am after joining drag queens for a karaoke session.
Neither Katie nor JJ – whose real name is John Joe – have publicly commented on the romance reports, but it has been suggested that they are preparing for a lucrative announcement.
BIG ANNOUNCEMENT
An insider told a newspaper that Katie and JJ were “planning on announcing their relationship in a big way and have been advised the longer they hold out, the more the news will be worth”.
Meanwhile, a second source claimed that Katie – who’s described as having a “reputation for falling hard and fast” – has spent time in JJ’s hometown of Essex, where she’s been introduced to his friends.
But Georges, who is still dating his MAFS match Peggy Rose, believes that JJ’s priority is simply rubbing shoulders with the stars.
He says, “There’s no chance he’ll fall in love with her, but she’s definitely his type. He won’t want to have a family with her.
