Peter Andre has just made an official statement in response to his ex-wife Katie Price's comments about his alleged "affair" with manager Claire Powell – and he sounds really pissed off. Here's what he had to say in full:

"I am making this statement to put the record straight regarding the outrageous claims and lies that have been put into the public domain by my ex-wife about my relationship with my manager, Claire Powell. I wish to make it perfectly clear for the record that my manager, Claire Powell, who I have known for the past 16 years, is my manager and a personal friend. She has never betrayed me or done anything other than support me, which is more than can be said for my ex wife. I have said once before that if anybody slanders my name I will not hesitate in taking legal action and that is exactly what both Claire and I will do."

Blimey. He clearly means business. There's no response yet from Katie Pice herself, but she is due at a book signing in London later today, so we imagine she'll have something to say then. We'll keep you updated.
