Katie Price has been deserted for the second time in one week – this time by her management company of five years.

Days after it was announced that her husband Peter Andre is filing for divorce, Can Associates confirmed they will no longer be representing the former glamour model.

A statement released today says: "We have represented Katie since February 2004.

"During that time we have worked hard to build Katie as a successful individual and brand, moving her from a glamour model and repositioning her as the country's foremost female celebrity, with a string of products and successful endorsements.

"We wish Katie every success for the future."

Katie's former manager Claire Powell refused to disclose the reason for the parting of ways, but it is known that she was Peter's manager before he met Katie - then known as Jordan - on I'm A Celebrity... in 2003, reports the BBC.
