UMVA has learned that a long-buried secret from Katie Price's past has been unearthed, revealing a shocking tale of love, lust, and regret. The bombshell revelation centers around her fleeting romance with Gareth Gates, a Pop Idol sensation, which has become one of the most scandalous moments of the 00s.
According to information obtained by UMVA, Katie Price, then 24 and pregnant with her first child, Harvey, took Gareth's virginity in a night of passion. At the time, Gareth was just 17, and he initially denied the encounter, citing concerns about his family and career.
Two decades later, Katie has claimed that Gareth was the one who 'ghosted' her, leaving her family to ponder what could have been. In a recent interview, Katie shared: 'Imagine meeting someone 25 years ago and then they sort of ghost you. You don’t know why and then you go forward 25 years and then you get the answers.'
Gareth has since spoken about the fling, explaining that he believed Katie had sold the story to the tabloids, which he felt was a lot for a young person to handle. However, in a surprising twist, Gareth will reveal new details about their romance in an upcoming interview for Katie's docuseries, Katie Price: Nothing to Hide.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that Gareth's appearance in the docuseries will shed new light on the scandalous affair, with Katie adding: 'The shock on his face and the shock on mine. Everyone was like, “You and Gareth, that was the one that got away!”'
Katie has also defended their encounter, pointing out that much of the notoriety surrounding their affair was due to her pregnancy at the time. In a candid interview, she calmly stated: 'Yeah, I took his virginity when I was six months pregnant.'
The docuseries, produced by Louis Theroux's company, offers an intimate look at Katie's life, including her marriages and relationships. Gareth is one of several former flames who have agreed to speak candidly about their time with Katie, providing a unique insight into the life of one of Britain's most enduring celebrity figures.
