Katie Price has been dropped by her management company after splitting from husband Peter Andre.

Manager Claire Powell, who sometimes appeared in their ITV2 shows refused to disclose why Price had been dropped, saying: “We’re a very professional company and I don’t want to make any comment.”

Powell represented Andre when he was at the height of his singing succes in the nineties and then again since 2003. They didn’t take Katie on until a year later.

In a statement Can Associates said: “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.”
