Clifford predicts bright future for Andre

Peter Andre can expect a significant career boost following his split from Katie Price, PR guru Max Clifford has suggested.

Clifford predicted that public sympathy will lie with Andre over the coming weeks - while Price will have most to lose from the break-up.

Speaking to Metro, he explained: "[Peter's] fame has all been down to her the past couple of years. Before I'm A Celebrity his career had disappeared.

"But how he handles the break-up in the coming days and weeks will be vital - how he uses the coverage to relaunch his own career. Most people have sympathy for him after she has humiliated him for years and he is liked by the media.

"For her, she is successful in her own right but will miss the opportunity of all the money and opportunities they can earn as a couple."

The pair announced that they were splitting after three-and-a-half years of marriage yesterday. Price later confirmed that the separation was Andre's decision.

Clifford added: "He has the best opportunity now to relaunch himself as a presenter or an actor or whatever. Ironically it could kickstart him."
