‘Katie is standing by Carl'

Katie Price has vowed to stand by her fiancé Carl Woods after his recent brush with the law. Last week he was charged with using abusive or threatening insults or behaviours under section 4 of the Public Order Act.

Carl, who was arrested following an alleged incident in Essex last August, is due to appear in court on March 10. But a source has told new that Katie is adamant it won’t affect their relationship.

“Katie is defiant,” said our source. “She has been saying she will stand by her man no matter what and she’s insisting she won’t give up on him.”

Fans have speculated whether the assault was against Katie, but after the charges were pressed, Carl posted a lengthy Instagram statement in which he insisted he “never attacked” his fiancée.

“No one has said I have been charged with assaulting Katie, or coercive control, because it’s not true,” he said. “I was charged with a public order offence. Me and Katie argued in the street, I used foul language, I got charged with that – nothing to do with anything else.”

Katie, 43, could be heard in the background saying, “I have never called the police on you, never,” and, “He never ever touched me.”
