Peter, Jordan went for marriage counselling before split

London, (ANI): Before pulling the plug on their marriage, Peter Andre and Katie Price did resort to marriage counselling in a last-ditch attempt to save their crumbling relationship, it has emerged. Only months before announcing their split, the heartbroken singer persuaded Katie, a.k.a. Jordan, to try private therapy to give their four-and-a-half year marriage one last chance.

"Yes, it was Pete who left Katie - but not until after he had done everything in his power to make the marriage work. Neither of them take divorce lightly and both wanted their relationship to work for the sake of the kids, if nothing else. So Pete persuaded Kate to give counselling a go once they started having frequent, more hostile rows," the Mirror quoted a source close to the glamour model as saying.

The source added: "He really was willing to try anything, if it might help. Although they both went into it willingly, it was more of a Band-Aid gesture - a desperate final attempt to patch up the marriage and make it work. Pete was devastated that it wasn't the solution." t is believed that the failed counselling was the inspiration behind Pete's comeback single, 'Call The Doctor'.

Pete is, reportedly, "devastated" by the failure of guidance and has said that the past four weeks have been "hell". However, he has credited his music for helping him keep his life on track.
