Glamour model Jordan and future husband Peter Andre clashed with photographers during a party to celebrate her induction to the Brighton's Walk of Fame. The celebrity, real name Katie Price, was the star attraction at the celebrity event as top restaurant Havana, in the Lanes Brighton. Katie who is under contract to newspapers and TV companies was angry when photographers tried to get photos as she entered and left the event. Dressed in a white jacket to leave the restaurant in Duke Street and make her way through partygoers, she covered her face with the Walk of Fame programme. She got angry with one photographer telling him: "You don't know me F off". Peter and Katie were both dressed casually and wore baseball caps, which they pulled down over their faces.
Earlier she chatted to guests in the private lounge area of the restaurant, including her mother Amy and David Courtney, founder of the Walk of Fame at Brighton Marina. Katie is the latest celebrity to join the Walk of Fame, which has been laid down on the pavement at the waterfront development at the Marina. She and actor Brian Capron, radio personality JoAnne Good, comedian Julian Cleary and Sussex cricketer Chris Adams will have their stones made and laid down next year to join more than 100 local and historical names on the walk who have made a contribution to Brighton and Hove. Katie said: "I was born and bred in Brighton, all my family live here and I am proud to be on the walk". "I have been waiting ten years to constructed and my name on it". Peter who helped shield his future wife from photographers, said "we both love Brighton and Sussex and will settle here. Don't worry, I will take good care of her".
David Courtney said "When she first started out as a topless model we did not think she was right for the Walk of Fame but she is now an internationally-known celebrity. "She has done well for herself and people now realise there is more to Katie than just her figure". "She is a local girl nd deserves to be on the Walk of Fame".
Katie was among guests at the glitzy event, which included actor John Altman, who played nasty Nick Cotton in East Enders, Kevin Rowland, the front man for the Group Dexy Midnight Runners, actor John Forgham, from the series Footballers' wives and actress Carol Cleveland from Monty Python's Flying Circus. Stars from the Dick Wittington pantomime at the Theatre Royal, Brighton, including H from pop group Steps, were also there. Brighton & Hove Albion manager Mark McGhee was beaming following the team's victory over Rotherham at the weekend and the FA Cup Draw, which means Albion, play the ailing Tottenham Hotspurs. He excitedly told everyone. "We believe we can win this one".
Celebrity tailor Gresham Blake, dressed in a white checked jacket, had a go at playing decks as a DJ but everyone agreed he should concentrate on making his distinctive suits for the stars at his shop in Bond Street.
