For the last year Andrew Gould has been the dressage instructor to Katie Price and trains her horses.

The relationship between Andrew and Katie is professional as a horse riding instructor and also social as a family friend with Andrew and his wife Polly. On Friday 8th May Andrew and Polly attended Badminton Horse Trials and in the evening proceeded to dinner with friends. After dinner Andrew and Polly joined Katie and her friends at a nightclub in Bristol, where recently published photographs were taken. After the nightclub Andrew and wife Polly stayed at a friends house nearby and Katie returned to her hotel.

Because of the recent separation between Katie Price and her husband Peter Andre, Andrew was advised not to state to the media that he attended on the night.

Although there is media speculation regarding Andrew and Katie there has never been or ever will be any romantic involvement. Andrew is very happily married to his wife Polly who he has been in a relationship with since they were teenagers. Andrew and Polly live together in West Sussex with their two sons.

Andrew enjoys teaching Katie and wishes to continue when she is ready. Both Andrew and Polly wish Katie and Peter all the best during this difficult time.

We ask that the media respect Andrew’s and Polly’s privacy to allow them to continue their work and family lives.
