While Katie Price has denied rumours she’s been losing weight through stress following her marriage split, Peter Andre has confirmed the pounds are still dropping off him.

The couple announced their separation a month ago and are expected to fight over custody of their children. Peter is expected to challenge for full custody of son Junior, who turns four on Saturday, and daughter Princess Tiaammi, who turns two later in the month, in order to ensure that he at least ends up with joint custody of the pair. He also wants visitation access to Katie’s seven year old son from a previous relationship, Harvey.

He’s quoted as saying: “I am obviously still reeling from everything that’s happening in my personal life, but I have to focus and stay really strong for the children because if I crumble then I’m no use to them.

“My appetite is pretty small at the moment and I still weigh one stone less than I did a month ago.

“But I’m trying my very best to eat well and to exercise regularly, so I have plenty of energy when I see them.”

Katie denied rumours at the weekend that she was wasting away from stress and worry, insisting that it was simply her body returning to normal after months of training ahead of April’s London marathon. Katie was helped over the finish line of the 26.2mile road race by Peter.
