Earlier this week, Katie Price “confirmed” her romance with MAFS UK star John Joe, known as JJ, when they were spotted looking “cozy” on a night out in Newcastle.
And just days later, the glamor model, 45, got up close and personal as she headed to lunch at beachfront restaurant IRMAS in Southend on Sea.
The duo looked every inch the happy couple as they walked arm in arm, with Katie showing off her tattooed stomach in a crop top and combat pants.
JJ, 31, couldn’t stop smiling as she strutted alongside the showbiz veteran, following the shocking news that her former co-star Ella Morgan slammed Katie for “breaking the girl code” by hooking up with the star.
After pictures emerged of Katie and JJ looking close, sources close to Ella, 29, say the reality star, who is transgender, is furious and feels “betrayed” that she had become good friends with Katie.

‘So he was surprised that Katie did that. She doesn’t have feelings for JJ, she’s just furious that Katie went behind her back and broke girl code.
John, also known as JJ, is said to have caught Katie’s eye when they met after his appearance on the most recent series of MAFS UK last year.
A source previously told The Sun: ‘They have seen each other several times and text each other constantly. She is really interested in him; this is the first man she’s really interested in since Carl.
Katie had talked about marrying and starting a family with Carl many times in recent years, but announced she had split from him when she took to social media while watching the New Year with her friend Kerry Katona.
JJ rose to fame when he was paired with Bianca Petronzi on MAFS. When the spark of their relationship died down, he went on to exchange messages with transgender girlfriend Ella behind Bianca’s back.
JJ and Ella were exposed during a dinner when Ella’s boyfriend, Nathanial Valentino, exploded over the messages and stormed out, leaving the show.
