Katie Price insists she is still single

The former glamour model was recently seen enjoying an `anniversary` date with ex-boyfriend Leandro Penna - who she split from in October after eight months of dating - and whilst she admits he is still a strong presence in her life, she insists they are not back together.

She said: "I`m single. But he`s still around but he`s one of these people who when we go clay pigeon shooting and when I win he`s very touchy and I`m like `get off Leo`. So no, it`s a laugh and he is about but I am single."

Katie - who has children Harvey, nine, Junior, six, and four-year-old Princess Tiaamii from previous relationships - admitted she finds it difficult to find a boyfriend because men are "scared" of her, though she insists she is still down-to-earth and "normal".

She added in an interview on UK TV show `Daybreak`: "They are [scared of me], but that`s one good thing about Leo and why I`m still friends and with him all the time, is because he never did a story on me and he`s always been loyal and not interested in that and he`s so good with the kids and fun.

"But yeah, it probably is hard for a guy to come up to me but I am quite normal and down to earth. I know I have all the dramas around me, but it`s all good though."
