My reaction to the news of the separation of Katie Price and Peter Andre after nearly four years of marriage rather took me aback: I actually felt sad for them - well, for him, really, because he seems so incredibly sweet.
Andre has a big-hearted capacity for happiness that is quite rare and a puppyish guilelessness that is very endearing. Weirdly, given the context - the minutiae of the couple's entire married life dished out in public - Andre gives an impression of moral goodness as well, notably but not exclusively in the love he clearly feels for Price's disabled son Harvey, 6. He also has two young children of his own with her.
Price is another kettle of fish altogether. I interviewed her once and liked her: she says the most appalling things in a sort of flat monotone and with slightly dead eyes and no apparent attempt at self-editing; the results can be highly entertaining. She has been called many things – a fantastic female role model, an abomination, mother of the year, a disgrace to motherhood, a saint, a slut and everything in between.
