Katie & Peter try their hand at living and working Stateside, family and all… Katie & Peter are moving west. They are off to the States with the entire family in January and ITV2 viewers will get to see all the highs and lows of life for the Price-Andre family in America.

Peter is going to be recording a new album, the main reason for the move, and Katie will be doing what Katie does best – being the most glamorous mum on the planet as she settles Harvey into his American school and looks after Princess & Junior, all whilst horse riding, running (Katie is training for the marathon) and doing all the promotional work that comes her way in Tinseltown.

Stateside is going to have the usual Katie and Peter ups and downs: the bickering and the making up; the tantrums and the love ins; the family outings and the family bust ups, all against the backdrop of being in a different country.

The new series kicks off with Katie and Peter still in England but tying up loose ends before they leave for America, and we catch up with them recording the new ‘Stateside’ titles for the new series.

The title shoot has an American theme and Peter is relaxing in a Cadillac whilst Katie is dressed as a rather sexy policewoman, much to Peter’s delight. The couple are on good form and there is plenty of banter between them.

Next we see Katie and Peter at the offices of a daily newspaper where they are guest writing the celebrity column. The couple look through recent paparazzi shots that have been sent into the newspaper and they comment on pictures of Amy Winehouse and Samantha Ronson. Katie also discusses Kerry Katona and the journalists ask them a few questions, such as the last thing they argued over.

Later in the episode, Katie and Peter return to the house where their children are, who are cuter than ever, particularly Princess who is now one-and-a-half and is walking and talking. Both Katie and Peter are planning to run the London Marathon in April, so even though they have just got home, they immediately get ready for the night run they have planned.

Peter tells Junior off for using a bad word and then Harvey arrives and throws a little tantrum but Katie cheers him up by getting him to repeat his favourite nursery rhyme. Much later than expected, Katie and Peter finally head off for their run.

The next day couple’s management are at the house for a meeting about LA. However, the meeting soon descends into chaos as Peter puts one of Katie’s hair clips on his nose. Peter escapes to the playroom and gives an impromptu and very cute Greek lesson to Junior and Princess.

Later that day and Katie is clearing out her office before the move. She finds a newspaper article written about her and Peter before they went into the jungle, titled “sex pack meets six pack”. She reads it to Peter and they laugh about what they supposedly said about each other before the jungle.

Finally, Peter heads over to see his manager Neville for a quick meeting about his music, as recording his new album is one of the main reasons for moving to the States. Peter discusses how he feels everyone is expecting it to be rubbish but that he is hoping to surprise a few people. He also apologies for Insania and says that he is now doing what he should have done back then.

The next part picks up on the day before the move to LA. Katie has a huge mountain of clothes she is packing for the trip. Meanwhile, upstairs, Peter is having a heart to heart with Junior. Someone has put pink nail varnish on his nails so Peter explains this is not for a boy. Junior doesn’t really understand. And it seems the stress of the big move is getting to everyone as later that evening Peter and Katie are having a big row.

Peter has arranged to go out and Katie thinks he is being suspicious and might be seeing someone else. In a tense scene, they both tell each other what they think before Peter escapes to the bedroom upstairs. Katie stands by everything she has said but Peter just can’t understand why he is being picked on. Eventually, Peter backs down and stays in for the evening, they share a pizza and Katie wonders what the next few months will bring.

Next morning and everyone is up early and there is some last minute packing to be done. With 22 suitcases loaded into car, they finally set off. There are photographers at the airport and, to make it worse, Harvey doesn’t want to get out of the car but eventually they make it into the terminal.

We pick them up on their arrival in LA, and there is a frenzy of photographers as they arrive. They set off for their new home, a seven-bedroom mansion in Malibu and even though it’s late and they are jet lagged when they arrive, they are impressed with the house.

Next morning and it’s a beautiful setting for Katie and Peter to wake up to. We explore their new house, which has some incredible views over the valley. Katie and Peter attempt to allocate rooms for the kids before hitting the shops to get some food in the fridge. There’s another huge group of photographers following them.

Back home, Peter is complaining that Katie is being moody and he tells us a story his dad told him about having two ears – goes in one and out the other.
