Party guests: Michelle Heaton and The Only Way Is Essex star Lauren Pope were two of the celebrity guests at Katie Price's fancy dress birthday party last night


When it was reported Katie Price would be celebrating her 33rd birthday with a fancy dress party, everybody was keen to seen what the glamour model would choose to wear.

But, while there was no sign of the birthday girl yesterday evening, her celebrity guests certainly made up for any disappointment in their crazy outfits.

Michelle Heaton was one of the first to arrive, and was virtually unrecognisable in a bright pink wig and futuristic silver and purple outfit.


She was accompanied by her husband Hugh Hanley, who looked muscular in a Mr Incredible outfit.

Before arriving at the party, Michelle tweeted a picture of the couple, with the caption: 'Hahha me and @hughhanley on way to @MissKatiePrice Whoooo!'

But just three hours later, Michelle tweeted: 'Had fab night! One of the First ones to leave! Party poopers i know. But I ate too many hot dogs. Got bit sick! Whoopsee! My own falt! (sic) X'

Another celebrity pair to make an appearance at the highly-anticipated party was The Only Way Is Essex stars Lauren Pope and Kirk Norcross.

And it seems the fancy dress party had no theme, as while Lauren dressed as Tinkerbell in a sparkly green dress, Kirk opted for the military look in some kind of soldier outfit.

Other stars to attend the party included Katie's close friend, former EastEnders star Dean Gaffney, who made something of a spectacle of himself in a 'woman and baby' outfit.

Katie's best gay friends Gary Cockerill and Phil Turner also put in a good show, with Gary opting for a cowboy outfit and Phil going for a white officer outfit.

Fellow stars on the guest list are thought to have included ex-boyfriends Duncan James and Another Level singer Dane Bowers.

However, Peter Andre and Alex Reid are apparently not invited, after having both gone through very public divorces with Jordan.

Katie's man of the evening, boyfriend Leandro Penna, was also nowhere to be seen after having gone to pick up some flowers for the model earlier in the day.

Katie has been dating 25-year-old Leandro since they met at Elton John’s Oscar party in February this year, less than two months after she split from second husband Alex Reid.

They have been virtually inseparable since and she has even joined him on vacation to his home country of Argentina to meet the Penna family.

However, in a recent episode of Katie's Sky Living reality TV show, she said she wasn't 'in love' with Leandro.

She said: 'I'm not in love with the guy, only early days. I'm keeping my options open.'

But she then added: 'I've realised what a man's man is. A man's man is somebody who can do DIY, fix your car, cook, change a light bulb. Leo is a man's man. Hard to believe he's only 26.'

However, shortly after the episode aired, Katie took to Twitter to clarify her true feelings.

She wrote: 'At least I can admit now I'm in love with leo and had been for along time but didn't want to say - woo!'
