Can Jordan get her out-ofcontrol life back on track?

She’s appeared to be on a downward spiral ever since her split from husband Kieran Hayler, indulging in a string of wild nights out with new boyfriend Kris Boyson and sparking fears for her health after reportedly dropping to a tiny size 4. And last week, Jordan – real name Katie Price – showed no signs of slowing down. She was pictured partying until the early hours with Kris at a nightclub in Devon – after a Sunday newspaper’s shock claims that she’d admitted to friends she’d taken cocaine to cope with her recent marriage collapse. Days later, she was pictured partying miles away from her Sussex home at a London bar. Now sources say pals are urging the mum-of-five – who recently confirmed that her children Junior, 13, and Princess, 11, were living with dad Peter Andre amid reports he had grown concerned for over her “out of control behaviour” and had even requested she take a drugs test – to get help to cope with the fallout from her broken marriage.

A source says, “Everyone was shocked. It was so out of character and it’s made her inner circle worry about her state of mind. Katie’s been anti-drugs ever since she dabbled with them when she suffered post-natal depression after having Junior.

“Her family and friends are completely baffled by the revelation­s, but it’s highlighte­d just how much pressure she’s been under and how much of a dark place she was in after ending things with Kieran.

DESTROYED

“The big fear for her now is the repercussi­ons from her drugs confession. Not only could it destroy her reputation, but she worries it will cause more issues between her and Pete, and that’s the last thing she wants given the situation with the kids right now. She’s going through hell.”

A video from Jordan’s night in a Devon bar was shared online last week, showing her singing and swearing into the microphone in front of crowds of club-goers.

The source adds, “Everyone’s begging her to get some help for the stress she’s been under and

to do it sooner rather than later, before things get worse. She’s got to work through some deeprooted issues rather than just masking them with alcohol and wild nights out, which only hide the pain temporaril­y.”

Jordan’s split from Kieran – who admitted to affairs with her close pals Jane Pountney and Chrissy Thomas, plus the family nanny, Nikki Brown – became even messier recently when she revealed on Instagram that he’d been dating a mum from their four-year-old son Jett’s school. It came just weeks after she accused him of having an affair with a 19-year-old Co-op worker.

And friends fear Jordan, 40 – who also has son Harvey, 16, with ex Dwight Yorke and three-year-old daughter Bunny with Kieran – is using her wild partying and romance with Kris, 29, to block out the heartache.

The source adds, “Katie seems to be thriving on the drama of these wild nights out rather than reining it in and facing the reality of her broken marriage and the impact it could all have on her children.

“She loves her kids and she hates the idea that people think she’s not a good mum. But pals have told her she needs to slow down and spend more quality time with her family instead of partying with Kris. They fear she’s on a destructiv­e path and just can’t get herself back on track.”

LOWEST POINT

The recent dramas follow a dark period for Jordan – who admitted to taking anti-depressant­s and seeking therapy late last year after battling heartache over Kieran’s numerous infideliti­es and her mum Amy’s devastatin­g diagnosis with a terminal lung disease.

Jordan – who last week revealed she plans to record an acoustic guitar charity album for the British Lung Foundation – also recently revealed that her relationsh­ip with her ex Pete had reached its lowest point, with the former couple now only communicat­ing through their lawyers. And sources say the new tension has hit her hard after telling pals she hoped the pair could one day form a friendship for the sake of their children.

The source says, “On the surface, Katie pretends Pete doesn’t bother her, but she’s admitted to friends that she really had wanted to try to form a friendship – she knows how much Princess and Junior would appreciate them all being able to spend time together as a family. Now she fears this latest fallout has destroyed all hopes of that.”

And insiders say despite his initial anger, her ex Pete, 45, is deeply concerned about his ex-wife’s spiralling behaviour.

The source says, “While Pete and Katie have a fractured relationsh­ip, she is still the mother of his children. He’s extremely worried about her recent behaviour and has told friends he doesn’t think she’s in the best head space.”

Closer revealed last week how Jordan is already planning to marry toyboy Kris in a bid
