Of his friendship with Katie Price, he writes: 'I had always got on well with her, although we had more often than not been three sheets to the wind, at 3am, under the influence of anything that we had got our hands on!. 'I have always had a soft spot for Pricey. I've always felt that she has been let down by friends and boyfriends alike.'.
