Katie Price has confessed her love for her boyfriend Leandro Penna.

The 32-year-old star uploaded romantic pictures of her and the Argentinean model on micro-blogging website twitter and wrote that she had fallen for her new man.

She tweeted: "Es todo un tierno. Lo amo," which roughly translates as "It's all tender. I love him."

The beauty's emotional revelation has emerged just days after she filed for divorce from cage fighter Alex Reid after 11 months of marriage.

However, she has defended her decision to quickly move on to another relationship, claiming her estranged husband has also been involved with someone else.

Soon after saying she loved Leandro she tweeted: "people forgetting alex sh**ged a girl in manchester few weeks ago and she did kiss and tell on him!...I will do what makes me happy."

The model has also reportedly landed a £1 million deal to present a US reality TV show.

Price - who travelled to Los Angeles last month for screen tests - will front the eight-part series 'Make Me A Hunk', where she will help transform a geeky guy in each episode.

A source told the Daily Mirror: "It is a huge deal for Kate and she is thrilled. It is the biggest gig of her career to date and the first time she will have fronted a TV show."

Katie is said to have won over producers with her acerbic wit and British charm and now the show is the focus of a bidding war between three big US networks, ABC, E! and CW.

The insider added: "Contrary to other reports, this deal was the reason she was in the States. American networks love all things British at the moment.

"They feel viewers will warm to Kate's-larger-than life personality and blunt put-downs - although producers were startled at how sarcastic and rude she was to the guy in the pilot episode. But it worked, she toughened him up and worked her magic."
