Dwight for the first time that he cheated on Price during their stormy 18-month relationship, although he refused to give any details about the encounter.

In extracts from his new book, ‘Born to Score’, reported in the News of The World, the former Manchester United star describes in detail the moment his former girlfriend told him she was pregnant with their son Harvey.

‘My reaction was immediate,’ he said. ‘There was no way we could have this baby. I told her, “Our relationship is too unstable. I don’t think it’s right”.’

But despite initially appearing to agree with Yorke, within a few days she was on the phone telling him she was going ahead with the pregnancy.

Yorke described Price’s partying in the year following Harvey’s birth – by which time the couple had split – as ‘the most distressing thing I’d ever had to deal with’.

He recalls staying down one night and Katie’s crowd were heading off to a big celebs party in London.

He said the crowd came back ‘steaming drunk’ and made a terrible noise, despite the fact that little Harvey was asleep upstairs.

‘I challenged her about this lifestyle. She’d desperately wanted our baby but was this her idea of motherhood?

‘I’m not by nature a bitter person, but no one’s driven me quite so close to that as Katie. The woman is infuriating.’

Despite his anger with the glamour model, he tried to get back together with her at one point that year, whisking her and Harvey away on a luxury break to Barbados, and then on to Tobago.

After a night of ‘wild’ sex, Yorke describes how he pulled out a £45,000 ring and gave it to Price.

It was clearly an engagement ring,’ said Yorke.

‘Perhaps she loved the gift but not the man who’d given it to her.’

When they arrived in Tobago, Yorke said Price’s mood ‘darkened’. She wouldn’t let Yorke’s mother look after her grandson Harvey, claiming her house didn’t have the right cot.

Yorke was left reeling – and it sparked the end of their relationship forever.

‘It was deeply upsetting,’ said Yorke. ‘The fact that Katie couldn’t grant my mum that p***** me off like never before. I hated her at that moment. It was the final nail in the coffin – I wanted nothing more to do with her.’

They flew home separately – and Price never returned his ring.

Yorke explained that his relationship with the mother of his child took a further turn for the worse when she hooked up with Peter Andre following their meeting on I’m A Celebrity,.

‘When I met Andre I wanted to throttle him,’ admits Dwight. ‘I’m not a violent man and it takes an awful lot to rile me. But this man got under my skin at the outset.’

Dwight said he would get wound up by the pair putting on ostentatious displays of affection, kissing and cuddling each other and calling one another ‘Babes’ and ‘Precious’.

He added that he tried to have as little to do with them as possible and would cringe on visits to their home to visit Harvey.

Describing the house as a ‘shrine to their own vanity’, with pictures of the couple all over the walls, he said: ‘I found it creepy. I couldn’t walk down a hallway without his preening mug staring back at me or the pair of them draped over each other.’
