Katie Price’s new rumoured relationship with Married At First Sight UK’s John Joe ‘JJ’ Slater is reportedly hotting up – but could be ruffling feathers.
A source has told new that Katie, 45, and JJ, 31, have been in constant contact after “hitting it off straight away” when they met through a mutual friend, but claimed his reality show ex Ella Morgan plans to have her say on the budding romance.
“Katie and JJ have been in daily contact, she says he gives her belly flutters,” our source claimed. “The chemistry is clearly there. JJ was very complimentary of Katie’s amazing figure and looks.
“But Ella wants to reach out to Katie to talk about things. She has said in the past that she looks up to Katie and has been complimentary about her, so she’d like to have a conversation.”
JJ and 30-year-old Ella, who made history as the Channel 4 show’s first transgender bride, got together after separating from the original spouses the experts had chosen for them.
Despite surviving the heated arguments and scandal that followed their dramatic recoupling, viewers saw them come to blows on the experts’ couch. On one occasion, JJ accused Ella of being “disrespectful” towards him when she’d had a drink.
While he didn’t share the details of exactly what went down between them, Ella admitted that her “outlandish” personality and habit of not always “thinking before I speak” was heightened when she’d been drinking.
According to our source, this is part of the reason his rumoured relationship with Katie might not go down well with his ex.
“Ella’s jealous, but it’s more to do with the fact that JJ told her he didn’t like her drinking or partying, and that’s what she sees in his relationship with Katie,” they claimed.
“So if it wasn’t okay with her, why is it okay with Katie?”
Despite the obvious chemistry, Ella and JJ officially called time on their relationship as the show wrapped, with both of them saying ‘I don’t’ at their final vow ceremony.
Before joining the series as latecomers, JJ’s original bride Bianca Petronzi, who runs a hair extension business, admitted she was worried about not being her new husband’s “type”.
