London, Oct 22 Aussie singer Peter Andre has hit back at ex-wife Katie Price a.k.a. Jordan's claims of him having an affair with his manager.

Andre, 36, issued an official statement after the former model suggested he was more than friends with Claire Powell on Graham Norton's chat show.

"I am making this statement to put the record straight regarding the outrageous claims and lies that have been put into the public domain by my ex-wife about my relationship with my manager, Claire Powell," the Sun quoted him as saying.

"I wish to make it perfectly clear for the record that my manager, Claire Powell, who I have known for the past 16 years, is my manager and a personal friend.

"She has never betrayed me or done anything other than support me, which is more than can be said for my ex wife.

"I have said once before that if anybody slanders my name I will not hesitate in taking legal action and that is exactly what both Claire and I will do," he added. (ANI)
