At the height of her glamour modeling career, Katie Price admitted to being “obsessed” with singer Dane Bowers after splitting with her after dating for two years.
Katie Price’s ex boyfriend Dane Bowers has revealed he was to blame for their split as he shared his tipping point. The former glamour model, 47, is now loved up with reality star JJ Slater, but has a string of famous exes.
She has been married three times – to Peter Andre, Alex Reid and Kieran Hayler – but branded Dane the “love of her life”. The pair only dated for two years back in 1998 but the mum-of-five clearly holds a special place in her heart for the R&B singer.
Katie and Dane dated at the height of her modelling fame as she was catapulted into the spotlight, but it came at a price. She met Dane at the Wild Wild West film premiere and her mum Amy admitted she was “all in from the word go”.

However, Dane was “bothered” by Katie’s famed work behind closed doors. Dane remarked to The Shizzio Show in response to their romance, “It was really me being a bit of a d**k in terms of insecurities.”
I thought she was acting strangely as our relationship developed. She dressed up as a model in style. She had stopped performing topless. Dane continued, “After we had an argument, she said she had been asked to do this shoot, which I believe was Topless Calendar, but I said, “You said you’re not going to do that again.”
She responded, “Well, I’m going to do it.” I said, “If I tell you to do that, we can’t be together.” And she attempted to call my bluff. She succeeded. And I basically said, “Well, no, f**k off.”
Which was incorrect because she was employed there. And I was aware of her position. Katie revealed the breakdown of her romance with Dane during her Celebrity Big Brother appearance in 2015.
She told the other housemates, “It was] the first time my heart got properly broken,” adding that she degraded herself because “if he said jump, I would say how high.”
She later said, “He hurt me so much.” Katie fought valiantly to get him back, even attempting an overdose once to pique his interest.
Despite the fact that the pop star is already married to David Beckham, Katie had mistakenly convinced herself that Dane had developed a crush on her after they collaborated on the album Out of Your Mind in August 2000.
She said on Loose Women: “Lots of people try and do things make their exes jealous. But at the end of the day they’ve seen what you’re really like, so if you try and look different or go with their mates if they don’t want to know you they don’t want to know you.
You do these things for attention when you say, “You stupidly want your ex, Dane Bowers, back, and stupidly I took an overdose to get him back. I was young and naive, and if anyone was speaking to me, just don’t do it because it is a huge thing and doesn’t work.
“He worked with Victoria Beckham and I thought something was going on, I thought, is he obsessed with her? It ended up being her friend so my paranoia was right.”
