Ant McPartlin revealed in his and Dec's 2009 autobiography Ooh! What A Lovely Pair the glamour model made a beeline for the Geordie host.
Despite Katie finding love with her future husband Peter Andre in the jungle, the glamour model made a beeline for the Geordie host.
Although Dec knocked Katie back, it amused his telly partner Ant who wrote: "The other thing I remember from that party is doing shots with Kerry, and Jordan [Katie's glamour model alter-ego] chasing after Dec, who she had propositioned during her departure interview.
"He managed to avoid her all night, but her mum did corner him a couple of times and try to set him up with her. He wasn't having any of it."
At the time Dec was in a relationship with childhood sweetheart Clare Buckfield.
But despite pressure from Katie's mum Amy Price to get together with her daughter, Dec stayed faithful to his other half and resisted her advances.
In the same book Dec wrote: "I don't think anyone would have put Peter and Jordan together before the series.
"She had a boyfriend when she went in, and no one had heard from him [Peter] for years – to most people he was a cheesy nineties pop star.
"It was the first time two people began a relationship on the show, and it was fascinating to watch.
"We were so excited, me and Ant even talked about getting hats for their wedding, like Cilla used to on Blind Date."
Katie married Mysterious Girl singer Pete less than a year later.
They went on to have two children, Junior and Princess before their break up in 2009.
Three-times divorced Katie has since suffered a series of failed relationships.
Meanwhile Dec went on to marry his manager Ali Astall and recently welcomed their first child together.
