Price and Andre battle it out in the courts...once again

Peter Andre is suing Katie Price over libellous and slanderous comments made while appearing on the Graham Norton show appearing alongside Jo Brand and Joan Collins. Although the remarks were never broadcast, they were heard by audience members.

When asked if Peter had found a new girl, Price reportedly went into 'Diana mode' and said
“Apparently that was the nanny.” “Or his manager Claire.”

She reportedly 'stayed in Diana mode' and went on to say:
“The trouble is I felt married to two people – Pete and our management.  And it was like Pete was married to two women, Claire and me. And it just suffocated me. If I’m going to blame anyone for the end of my relationship with Pete, I’d have to lay some of the blame with Claire.”

Andre's manager, Claire Powell has already won a five figure sum, although it is reported that Andre merely wants 'to tell Katie to STFU, move on and let him see Harvey'.

Another case has now come out into the public eye as a result of Andre vs. Price, number whoever cares!

The News of the World has been referred to the Attorney General by a High court judge in relation to its coverage of the ongoing libel trial between model Katie Price and singer Peter Andre.

 Mr Justice Tugendhat decided to refer the newspaper's publishers, News Group Newspapers, over a story published on the 3rd October 2010, only days before the trial was due to start.

The Attorney General, Dominic Grieve QC, will now have to consider whether the publication created "a substantial risk that the course of justice in the proceedings in question will be seriously impeded or prejudiced".

The order was made by Mr Justice Tugendhat after barrister Anthony Hudson, for News Group Newspapers, believed that it 'did not intend or foresee that the story would cause any prejudice to the trial'.

Hudson they proceeded to tell the judge "They wish to apologise for any disruption or inconvenience caused by the publication of the article." It is reported that he apologised a total of seven times throughout the hearing.
