Former reality TV couple Peter Andre and Katie Price continue to carry on with their separate lives.

While Peter was seen arriving at his new house in Sussex, UK today (June 8 ) with his children, 3-year-old Junior and 23-month-old Princess Tiaamii, to move in some of his things, the glamour girl formerly known as Jordan took advantage of her son’s absence by shopping for decorations and presents for his birthday with her friend, singer Michelle Heaton. Junior turns four on Saturday.

The former flames are said to be no longer on speaking terms after they reportedly had a blazing fight over childcare arrangements yesterday. Katie was left fuming after her estranged hubby dropped the three children they raise together at her house earlier than expected, forcing her to cancel her afternoon’s plans.

Making matters worse? Miss Price is reportedly drinking heavily, taking sleeping pills and barely eating.

A friend of the newly single mother-of three tells Britain’s News of the World: “Katie’s hit rock bottom. She doesn’t know what to do with herself. Her behaviour is all over the place. She’s been sobbing, trying to call Peter. Her friends are worried she’s drinking too much. Katie’s gone into a complete meltdown this week. All of a sudden this became a reality.”

But as the main moneymaker in the household, Katie is determined to fight him and beat him in a legal battle with regards to her $65 million fortune. “Peter’s desperate,” she tells her loose-mouthed friend. “He’s trying to kick me where it hurts - my wallet. But I’m not going to let him destroy me.”
