During the latest episode of her podcast The Katie Price Show, Katie revealed she is still wearing the ring, but on her right hand. However, the exact cost of Katie’s latest engagement piece is not known, with the former glamour model claiming he gifted her a ring made of “lab grown diamonds”. Lee’s lab grown diamonds Katie’s love life has served as a continuous source of fascination to her fans, and her whirlwind romance with Lee Andrews, 43, was no different. The couple announced their engagement on social media in January, then just two day later revealed they had married in Dubai, meaning their marriage was not officially recognised in England and Wales. However, Katie announced their split earlier this month, saying she had “come to my sense” and had grown “sick” of his lies. She claimed he had been untruthful about his $50million (£37million) Crypto fortune. Speaking to Susanna Reid and Ed Balls on Good Morning Britain this week, Katie candidly confessed she still loves Lee. Most read in Showbiz She said: “I love him… but who is he? I love the man I met. I can’t take it. I was stupid to fall for him. It’s really sad.” Because of Lee’s “lies”, the exact value of the ring Lee proposed with is unclear. Speaking on the show, she said: “One of the rings he bought me he said was worth £72,000. So I thought I’d better get it insured. “So I took it into a shop and got it cleaned to get it insured. When they gave it back to me I said, ‘How nice are the diamonds?’ “They said, ‘They’re really good lab diamonds. They were grown in a lab. The ring is probably only worth about five grand’. Do you know how embarrassed I was?” First love – and a £3.5k sparkler Gladiators star Ace, real name Warren Furman, was Katie’s first fiancé, after they became an item in 1996 when Katie was just 18 – just before the height of her page three ‘Jordan’ modelling fame, and before she’d even undergone her first boob job.

It’s not known what happened to the ring, and it was rarely pictured at the time. Speaking on This Morning, Warren – who at the height of his career earned £2k an hour- admitted fame played a huge role in their relationship, saying: “We both took our clothes off for a living and grew up with similar backgrounds. But we were both selling stories in the media.” Pete’s rival Before heading into the I’m A Celebrity jungle, Katie was engaged to businessman Scott Sullivan in 2004.

She was seen telling Peter that he was “not the one” for her. Scott told The Sun at the time: “I don’t like what’s going on. I’m furious.” Three rings and at least £230K worth of bling One of her most highly-publicised relationships was Katie’s love story with first husband Peter Andre which began when they met on I’m A Celebrity! back in 2004.

Credit: PA:Press Association Singer Peter, who shares children Princess and Junior with Katie, proposed in the same year, and the couple married in September 2005 in a lavish fairytale ceremony, said to be worth £1million before separating in 2009. During their time together, Katie reportedly received three rings from Peter – having upgraded the first two for an even bigger piece of bling. Her first ring had no centre stone, instead it was a rectangular design, with a band most likely in white gold, and diamonds encrusted all around the ring. Her second ring, which was definitely much bigger, contained a very large pink/brown stone, that some diamond experts suspected was morganite.

The final ring she had for her marriage to Peter was not the style of a typical engagement ring – it was a pave set custom rainbow style ring, with around two carats of diamonds overall. If it was valued today, it would probably be worth around £60,000. Despite having sold two of her engagement rings from Peter, she reportedly saved the jewels from the first ring, to create a sentimental bangle to give to daughter Princess, saying: “When I’m older Princess will get the bracelet with the diamonds I married her dad with. It has not gone to waste.” The most ‘eye-catching and exuberant engagement ring’ When cage fighter Alex Reid proposed to Katie in 2009 he popped out a huge peach rock on a diamond-encrusted mount. Diamond experts say the ring was very similar to the second upgrade from Peter Andre.

The huge ring from Alex was a custom cut, micro pave set ring. It featured a large centre stone around 10 carats and looked like a checkerboard morganite due to its pink tones. The stone is surrounded with over 2 carats of small diamonds and would be valued at around £35,000 to £40,000. The pair became an item just eight weeks after Katie’s split from first husband Peter Andre, and they married in Las Vegas in February 2010.
