Price 'is stressed and barely eating'

Katie Price has lost almost a stone in weight following her split from Peter Andre, according to a report.

The former glamour model announced that she had been dumped by Andre after nearly four years of marriage earlier this month.

Yesterday, Price made her first public appearance since the breakup, modelling items at the Clothes Show London.

A source told The Mirror: "Despite what people see while Katie is out, behind closed doors it is very different. She thinks she's been portrayed as the bad guy in her split from Pete and the pressure of this enormous backlash has really taken its toll.

"She's barely eating and reckons she's lost around 12lb in a relatively short space of time. For someone of her slight build, it's very noticeable."

Price recently recruited Sir Paul McCartney's former divorce lawyer Fiona Shackleton, but later admitted that she felt "pushed into" the move.

"The stress of an impending divorce has given her sleepless nights and she has several work commitments to fulfil," the insider added. "Katie doesn't know who she can trust and feels she is public enemy number one. Behind the public bravado, she's in bits - both physically and mentally."

Price and Andre met during the third series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in 2004. The pair went on to star in several ITV2 reality shows together.
