Married Katie Price once branded Dane Bowers the "love of her life" despite being with her husband Kieran Hayler at the time. The pair only dated for two years back in 1998 but the former glamour model clearly holds a special place in her heart for Dane.
She admitted the singer of R&B boy band Another Level was her "first love," after meeting when Katie was just 18. The mum-of-five, 46, has been candid about her actions following the breakdown of their romance and confessed to being "obsessed".
Katie desperately tried to win him back – even taking an overdose at one point to get his attention. Before their break-up, Katie had wrongly convinced herself that Dane had developed a crush on Victoria Beckham after they worked together on August 2000 single Out Of Your Mind - despite the pop star already tying the knot with David Beckham.
Following Katie's candid reflection on how she handled the romance, the pair reunited in December 2016 for a Christmas bash. The two were said to be "very touchy-feely" as Katie attended without her then-husband Kieran.
At one point in the evening, Katie told a crowd of people that Dane was "the love of my life" in a rambling speech. A source said: "Katie was meant to be with hubby but arrived on her own. Everyone was surprised there was no Kieran with her."
The Mirror's exclusive video at the event showed Katie launching into a speech on stage. She declared she was going to "f***ing sing" and attempted to belt out Whitney Houston's I Have Nothing.
However, Katie was interrupted halfway through by a man in a tuxedo who took her off-stage to a chorus of cheers and applause. During her Celebrity Big Brother stint in 2015, Katie opened up on the breakdown of her romance with Dane, who has debuted his brand new look with veneers as he seems to be following her 'Turkey teeth' look.
"[It was] the first time my heart got properly broken," she told the other housemates, adding that she degraded herself because "if he said jump, I'd say how high?"
"He hurt me so much," she added at the time. Katie also opened up on how she tried to get Dane's attention of their breakup while on Loose Women.
She said: "Lots of people try and do things make their exes jealous. But at the end of the day they've seen what you're really like, so if you try and look different or go with their mates if they don't want to know you they don't want to know you.
"When I was younger stupidly enough, I wanted my ex Dane Bowers back and stupidly I took an overdose to get him back - you do these things for attention. It is a massive thing, it does not work, but I was young and naive, if anyone was speaking to me just do not do it.
