Jamie Archer has denied rumours that he was flirting with Katie Price on a night out.

He told The Sun: "She's obviously an attractive woman but she's not really my type, to be honest. I didn't flirt with her or see her in a romantic way."

Not his type: Jamie denies flirting with Katie

He was also impressed with Katie's ex Peter Andre but doesn't have high hopes that the couple will get back together.

He said: "I've met Peter Andre a couple of times and he's one of the loveliest guys in the world. It would be amazing if they got back together but I think it's unlikely to happen."

Jamie offered Katie some TLC after she talked to him about her I'm A Celebrity ordeals.

Friendly: Katie Price asked Jamie Archer to join her for a drink

The former X Factor contestant said: "She came over and said hi and then asked me to come and have a drink. We got chatting and she said, 'Oh, you've got hair like my Harvey'. She was beaming when she was talking about her kids, which was really nice to see.

"But it seemed like the whole thing in the jungle had upset her because people kept voting to make her do the trials. I felt like she needed a bit of TLC so I gave her a hug and told her things would be okay."
