Katie Price has denied breaking off her engagement to fiancé Carl Woods before 'flirting with another man' during a 'boozy' appearance at the National Television Awards.
Former glamour model Katie, 43, attended the annual ceremony with eldest son Harvey, 19, on Thursday evening, weeks after sustaining facial injuries during an alleged break-in at an Essex property occupied by the star.
She has since denied claims that she boasted of being single, broke strict event protocol by repeatedly leaving her seat during ad breaks and 'downed booze' before honing in on a mystery businessman at the late-night after-party.

Taking to Instagram on Sunday, she wrote: 'It's such a shame having such a good night these awful story's [sic] about me coming out infact I never went out and said I've dumped Carl this is not true I was actually proud to be with my son Harvey I wish people would leave me and Carl alone.' [sic]
Katie was in attendance after receiving a nomination in the Authored Documentary category for her show Harvey & Me, when onlookers reportedly overheard her talk about ending her five-month engagement to Woods.
A source told The Sun: 'She was knocking back the wine and asking for vodka. She was telling people, ''I'm single, I've dumped him'' and was clearly focused on moving on. They had been constantly rowing, and she said she'd had enough.

'She said she was back living at her house in West Sussex even though it wasn't fully done up yet. But she was adamant she wouldn't go back to his place. As far as she's concerned, it's over.
'Katie said she couldn't handle it any more and wanted out.'
While guests were asked to remain in their seats between breaks during the live broadcast, onlookers claim Katie repeatedly got to her feet while gesturing towards the stage.
Sources claim Katie later 'flirted' with an unnamed businessman at the ensuing after-party, where she remained after Harvey had been driven home.

'The pair of them were walking around the party together, and could have easily been mistaken for a couple. They were very flirty. She looked very tipsy and kept leaning in to him, almost as if to kiss him,' the source added.
It comes after police were called to an Essex property occupied by Katie at around 1.30am on August 23rd, with a man was subsequently arrested on suspicion of assault, theft and coercive and controlling behaviour. He has since been released on bail.
Following the attack, photos showed Katie with a bruise on her cheek and an injured lip. The mother-of-five said that she was attacked as she watched TV inside the property.
