London, March 19 (IANS) Singer Peter Andre is in the process of completely switching off ex-wife Katie Price with the removal of her name tattooed on his wedding-ring finger.

'He did this for himself. Peter didn't really want it known, so he didn't make a song and dance about it. But Katie was bound to find out eventually and he knows she'll be annoyed. Peter wants to move on finally - and removing the tattoo is his way of doing it,' contactmusic.com quoted a source as saying.

Andre already had his first of the three treatments at a clinic in Brighton to remove the inking from his wedding finger. He paid $363 for the treatment and has been spotted with a plaster around his finger.
