I've seen rumours that he's gay, but can this be substantiated?

Top international dressage rider Spencer Wilton said he was on a "fun night out" with his glamour model pal after the Badminton Horse Trials.

The former national dressage champion, 35, was snapped with Katie in Bristol's Syndicate club - and it was thought the pictures were the final straw for Peter Andre, who is now filing for divorce.

But Spencer told Horse and Hound magazine's website: "We were having a perfectly innocent, fun night out.

"A group of us had been at Badminton Horse Trials and went out for dinner afterwards and then on to a club." He added he was "already in a happy relationship with a male partner" and went on: "My phone hasn't stopped with papers and magazines calling, but it's obviously a lot worse for Katie - I just really hope she and Peter are able to resolve their differences."
