Well love her or hate her you have to hand it to the girl – Katie Price knows how to cause a stir. With her popularity appearing to wane following her divorce from Peter Andre and the subsequent hard partying what's a girl to do?Fade into the background and hope it blows over?

Not for Jordan. She returns to the jungle where she met her ex-husband. She quits the jungle. And just in case any of that failed to grab our attention she goes and dumps new beau Alex Reid live on TV just as its reported he's set to propose to her. Yep, that should just about do it!

The thing with Katie Price is that deep down you can't help but, if not love her, slightly admire her. The girls got balls. But more than that shes honest. Other celebrity break-ups are the usual 'mutual agreement' statements and dignified silences.

Not Ms Price.

Her breakup played out in the media glare was similar to the stories of a thousand heartbroken girls. Break-up, go out and get absolutely rat-arsed, drunk dial the ex and sing down the phone, hook up with a rebound to try and make the ex jealous before doing some serious soul-searching and realising you need to take some time out to get over it.

It was real, it was honest, sure it was a little ugly, and she could have chosen a slightly better rebound than a cross-dressing cage fighter but it served it's purpose.

She's back, she's more popular than before and she's single! Now that she's out of the jungle and free of Alex can she please crack on with the important task of winning back and remarrying Mr Andre!
