The glamour girl told reporters that her decision was based on advice from her doctor who suggested staying at home instead, leaving the media to ponder whether Price and husband Alex Reid may now be preparing for their first child as a couple.

Price was due to join the 26-mile jog around the capital for the aid of Vision Charity – an organisation that raises valuable funds for children who suffer from dyslexia and visual impairments. She told reporters that she deeply regretted the decision to withdraw from the race, but gave no concrete reasons as to why, sparing a media frenzy of sorts.

Just last week Alex was forced to fend off a barrage of questions from the media over the possibility of the pitter-patter of tiny feet being on the way.

Price also told reporters that her preparations for the gruelling event had been going extremely well and that for a long time she has been eagerly looking forward to both running and making much-needed money for such a worthy cause. She did take part in last year’s event, with then husband singer Peter Andre, finishing the run in a little over seven hours.

Price’s seven-year-old son Harvey, from a past relationship, suffers from autism and is partially blind.

Only three weeks after quitting the jungle show and announcing live to the world that she was splitting up with beau Alex Reid, Katie Price has done a full 180 and is now back with her cross dressing cage fighter.

The couple was featured as Simon Cowell’s surprise guests on the much awaited X Factor final, showing up during their first public date since the notorious I’m A Celebrity dump(ing).

In recent days, the media had been full of comments stemming from Price’s pals, both male and female, claiming the famous-for-being-famous-Jordan needs a real man, one who could stand up for himself and not be bashed about by a starlet.

Katie told reporters backstage at the talent show that she had reunited with Reid. She claimed to take it easy, adding that she didn’t really care what others said or thought.

The pair had apparently made vast efforts to avoid being seen together by the press as they entered the Fountain Studios, where the X Factor is produced.

As soon as they arrived at the studio, Alex jumped out of the car and hid in a McDonald’s while Jordan kept on driving and subsequently made her grand entrance at the venue. Reid eventually entered the studio through a side door and met up with his grill later inside.

Despite making huge attempts not to be seen entering the studios together, once inside, the couple were all over each other with obvious and long public displays of affection, a testimony to their rekindled intimacy.

A few weeks ago, Price had decided to quit the jungle show claiming that the public kept being cruel towards her by continuously voting her to perform horrible and disgusting tasks, many involving repulsive creepy crawlers.

Followed a surreal period where she just came short of begging ex-husband Peter Andre to take her back. The two had met on the same show a few years back and her second stint at the game had obviously stirred some vivid memories.

It emerged yesterday that the glamour girl is planning to stay in Australia until at least December 5.

Price, 31, is reported to be having a great time out in the sunshine, shopping, drinking champagne, eating at restaurants with friends and doing God knows what a sexy, young, single and rich lady does.

She was spotted on the Gold Coast yesterday wearing a microphone and being followed by cameramen, basically working on her reality TV programme.

Price said she was originally under contract until December 5 for the jungle show.

Just a few days ago, she was heard saying that she HAD to go back home and see her kids.

The image that we have today differs enormously from the one we had not even 48 hours ago. At that time, most of us believed that she was ‘this close’ to throwing herself at Andre’s feet and begging him to take her back.

After splitting from her muscular cross-dressing cage-fighter beau Alex Reid 5 minutes before going on air for an interview, Katie publicly apologised for her behaviour in the last few months or so, ever since Peter and her called it quits. She even branded herself as being a real ”twit”. Yep! I think we can all agree about that Katie and so were the interviewers.

Rumours had been flying that Reid was ready to propose to her. We can all imagine the scene. Alex rushing to his bride to be with a bleeding heart in one hand, a rose in the other  and a diamond in his shirt pocket and BANG!!! Just like a fly that hits your windshield.

He was seen crying on some Australian street talking on the phone.

But Alex will one day realise that this very instant is what saved his soul. He’ll be fine.

Meanwhile, it was confirmed by ITV that Price remains under contract to the channel until December 5, which is when the final of the jungle show will happen.

Interesting. I’m I the only one who thinks she’ll be back on the show?

Let’s see. She loves to be controversial and most of this country loves to see her being controversial. She’s fantastic at being… What is she good at again? Oh yeah. She’s still around in Australia. Let me see mmmm…..mmmmm…. Kaaaatching!: computer says comeback to the jungle.

Andre said it’d be good if the two could put all the nasty stuff behind them and talk with one another.

But the singer said he would expect the conversation to remain a private matter.

According to the singer, an ever increasing amount of lies are spread about him in the media every week. Andre thinks the papers would jump at this opportunity to spur more false rumours. He added that there’s way it can be done in a truthful and honest way, although he does remain hopefull about a healthier rapport with his former wife.

 Meanwhile, after being rumoured to have been with 5 different partners in just the space of a week, the singer has been wondering who his next girlfriend be.

Andre said that he had just learned that he had been having sex with the wife of his best friend. The singer can thank the huge British rag market for that one.

The pop star said the surprises just keep coming: first Chantelle Houghton, followed by Alesha Dixon, then his manager and long time friend Claire, and now his best mate’s wife.

The Peter Andre and Katie Price situation has proven to be a real goldmine for the UK media. The British public has seen it all, everything from violent threats, an over made-up Katie Price who thinks she’s a fashionista from space to a cross-dressing boyfriend.
