The husband of Jane Pountney, the woman who Katie Price has accused of having an affair with her husband Kieran Hayler, has spoken out about the whole thing.
Derrick told the Daily Mail: “We are good friends of Katie and Kieran’s and have been good friends of Katie for a good 20 years.
“A lot of this drama has been a storm in a teacup and there’s a lot of misunderstandings to sort out. There has not been a ‘full blown’ affair going on, it was more like a drunken kiss”.
He added: “Will she and Kieran break up, or could they get back together? I don’t really know. As for Jane and I working things out… again, I don’t know.
“This ‘affair’ has not really happened like it has been portrayed…. a drunk kiss has turned into a full on affair… I knew about what had happened before today, it’s not new to me”.
His statements come after the foursome met at the Pountney household yesterday following Katie’s revelations on Twitter.
In case you missed it the former model, who is six months pregnant, tweeted about getting a divorce from her husband because she has found out he was having an affair with her best friend Jane.

Later in the evening, she posted the following statement on her website:
“I appreciate most people will have seen my tweets on the subject of my marriage to Kieran.
I make no apologies for them though it will be appreciated that, sending them immediately after Kieran confirmed to me what he had been doing for the last 7 months, those tweets were a sign of my heart breaking. That he was doing it with a close friend of nearly 20 years is hard to understand.
This statement however is from my head, not my heart. I am appalled that someone I loved, trusted and believed in has behaved in this way. If he had so little respect for our relationship I would have hoped he would have thought about our child or the one that we have on the way. That he did not means he will no longer be part of my life. I will do all I can to ensure he maintains a relationship with his children should he want that.
I am so grateful for the love of my children and family at this time.”
