The all-new "mysterious and private" Jordan... Katie Price... Reid... whatever... is a bit, well, boring

So, we spent Tuesday in Jordan heaven/hell, depending on whose side you're on.

First, we had a little chat with her and as you can see, she was revealing and insightful and compelling and open and warm and amazing... we're being sarcastic, by the way. She was cold, steely and had clearly decided in advance that her PR strategy for the day was to be as guarded as possible, and that her only revelation would be saying repeatedly that she's desperate to get pregnant (or "Reidanated" as she so delightfully calls it). But hey, at least she didn't just want to talk about coffee, right?

After she'd done her intimate chat with a select few (and reeled out the same line about how she's being so "mysterious and private" these days - we know, we compared notes), dozens of journalists were gathered in a room with nice comfy red seats to watch episode one of the new series of What Katie Did Next, which (watch out, there's a plug coming) is on ITV2 on Thursday night.

In it, we got to see the aftermath of her dumping Alex live on I'm A Celeb, learned that she wore grey tracksuit bottoms under a red carpet frock, and saw just how much Michelle Heaton trails around after her.

Then she answered a few more questions for the assembled press, and here were our favourite bits:

* She called Alex a "plonker" for not talking about her much on BB, because he was so paranoid that she'd be cross with him. "I wanted him to say 'I really love Kate' because I was pining for him but he never did. We've made up for it since though."

* When asked about telling the kids that she was married again, she casually remarked that "Harvey is more interested in cake."

* When a reporter called Andre asked her a question, she said "Andre? Ugh! I'm joking..." - her only dig at Pete. Unusually restrained, no?

* She said she's "hoping to announce a pregnancy by the end of the series." Nice way of putting it - not so much broody, as looking forward to making some good TV. "So watch out for the bump!" she instructed us.

Got that, people? Bumpwatch is on. As you'll see, we asked her which bits of her and Alex she'd like her theoretical sproglet to inherit, but apparently she's "not here to talk about my marriage".

We did whip out our chequebook at that point but apparently our overdraft doesn't cover this kind of exclusive revelation. Dammit.
