Katie Price gets down and dirty as she competes in a fitness challenge with Leandro Penna

And they're off: The glamour model, with her ex-boyfriend Leandro Penna following closely behind, joins the throng of runners in the X Runner challenge in Brailsford, Derbyshire

She's made a living out of being glamorous, but yesterday Katie Price proved she could get down and dirty with the best of them as she took part in a gruelling fitness challenge.

Displaying impressive fitness levels, Price pounded the pathways with every other athlete, dragging herself through dirty ditch water and completing the course caked in mud.

The mother-of-three was taking part in the charity X Runner challenge in Brailsford, Derbyshire, with on-off boyfriend Leandro Penna.

Taking the plunge: Price looked alarmed as she lost her footing and fell into dirty water

The pair made a formidable fitness team as they pushed through the course.

At one point Price lost her footing and fell into a ditch filled with filthy water, finishing the course covered in mud.

A glimmer of her trademark glamour was still visible though - bright orange nail polish which could be seen on her mud-caked hands.

Penna and Price supposedly split last autumn, but the pair have been spotted putting on displays of affection in recent weeks.

A fine balance: She might be a celebrity, but in this race she was just like any other competing athlete

This month Price finally became an official single woman again after waiting 14 months for her divorce from Alex Reid.

Ironically, it took longer for the couple to divorce than they had actually been married.

The divorce was granted on the grounds of Reid's 'unreasonable behaviour', but it will be another four weeks before it is finalised with a decree absolute.

Despite her protestations that she is not in a relationship, Price has done little to dispel speculation suggesting otherwise.

The day after she and ex-husband Reid were granted a decree nisi at London's High Court, Price was seen cuddling up to Argentine model Penna in a private box at the HPA Gaucho International Polo at London's O2 Arena.

She may have looked exhausted, but Price still managed to bring a touch of glamour to her ensemble with bright orange nail polish, which was clearly visible on her muddy hands

Price started dating Penna in March 2010 - just six weeks after announcing her split from Reid after 11 months of marriage.

They originally dated for six months, with Price even getting a tattoo of his name on her ankle, before splitting last autumn.

However, they've frequently been photographed putting on displays of affection together since January.

When asked about their relationship on Daybreak earlier this month, she said: 'No I'm single.

'But he's still around but he's one of these people who when we go clay pigeon shooting and when I win he's very touchy and I'm like "get off Leo". So no, it's a laugh and he is about but I am single.'

Single and ready to... cuddle up to her ex: Katie Price celebrates divorce from Alex Reid by taking 'friend' Leandro Penna to the polo

Tender: Leandro Penna plants a kiss on Katie Price's cheek as they watch the HPA Gaucho International Polo at London's O2 Arena last night

She's finally single after waiting 14 months for her divorce from Alex Reid.

And despite her protestations that she isn't a relationship, the model did little to dispel the opposite as she cuddled up to on/off lover Leandro Penna at the polo last night.

The mother-of-three, 33, and Argentine model, 26, looked very cosy as they sat beside each other in a private box at the HPA Gaucho International Polo at London's O2 Arena.

As they watched the action on the field, Penna's arm was draped across Price's white denim-clad legs.

It must have made an interesting conversation for the pair as Argentina played England during the match, with the latter eventually triumphing.

Tweeting a photo of herself with a blonde friend, Price enthused: 'Enjoyed the Polo tonight! England WON wooo.'

Her outing to the polo came a day after she and ex-husband Reid were granted a decree nisi at London's High Court.

The naffest couple ever: Katie Price and Leandro Penna are a kaleidoscope of neon

Trouble in paradise... again? Katie Price looks rather angry with boyfriend Leandro Penna shopping in Brighton

It's rare to get noticed when standing next to a glamour model in neon pink - especially when she happens to be Katie Price.

But it was Leandro Penna that drew the glances as he stepped out in a bizarre Adidas anorak.

The garish top was a multi-coloured creation that appeared to take inspiration from Blockbusters, with a collage of geometric shapes all merged in together.


Katie clearly wasn't impressed with the outfit, judging from her grumpy face.

Or perhaps she was down in the dumps during their Brighton adventure because of conversing issues.

Puckering up her most sullen of pouts, it seemed the mother-of-three may have been experiencing some problems communicating with her Argentinian toyboy.

As she looked forward down the street, the 26-year-old model strained an ear towards her as if struggling to understand what she was saying in English.

Grumpy but gorgeous: Katie could barely crack a smile

The former glamour model should have been in high spirits, having been crowned Foxy Bingo Celebrity Mum Of The Year this week.

Leandro also seemed to be quite the gentleman, carrying all the shopping bags so Katie wouldn't damage her nails.

The beauty queen clearly likes to keep her fingers well manicured, praising Apprentice winner Tom Pellereau on his new invention unveiled yesterday - in the guise of a 'S' shape nail file collection.

Awkward: The couple didn't exactly showcase great body language

After tweeting her congratulations to Tom, even Lord Sugar waged in on the conversation - having invested the initial £250,000 for the joint business venture of The Stylfile Collection.

The BBC One show host replied: 'Glad you like Tom's new nail file let me know how you get on with.'

Katie added: '@Lord_Sugar its a great idea!! and you know how much i love my nails to look perfect!'


Winner: Katie was crowned Foxy Bingo Celebrity Mum Of The Year 2012
