Gareth Gates recently expressed his anger after ex-girlfriend Katie Price made derogatory comments about him during her live performance.

Gareth’s Reflection on Their Past
Initially, Gareth denied that he and Katie had an intimate relationship, which fueled her frustration. However, he later acknowledged their brief romance on “The Big Reunion” in 2014. “I denied the whole Jordan thing because I was 17,” he admitted. “I didn’t want my family to find out about my sex life.” He regretted not being honest, as it caused hurt feelings among his loved ones and fans.
