Former soccer star Dwight Yorke has launched a scathing attack against Peter Andre and the Australian pop singer's ex-wife, Jordan.
Yorke, who played for A-league team Sydney FC in 2005-06, has said he wanted to "throttle" Andre, who recently divorced glamour model Jordan, the mother of Yorke's seven-year-old son, Harvey.
"When I met Andre I wanted to throttle him," Dwight told News of the World.
"I'm not a violent man and it takes an awful lot to rile me. But this man got under my skin at the outset.
"The first time I saw them together they immediately put on this ostentatious display of affection, kissing and cuddling each other and calling one another `Babes' and `Precious'. Somewhere between laughable and pathetic."
Jordan - whose real name is Katie Price - married Andre in July 2006 after they appeared together on reality TV show I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here! in 2004.
But the pair, who have a son and daughter together, were granted a divorce earlier this month.
Former English Premier League player Yorke, 37, said he was particularly annoyed by talk of Andre adopting Harvey.
"They had the gall to talk about Andre adopting him," Yorke said.
"I so, so wanted to grab him around the neck and throttle him ... no way would I ever, ever allow Harvey to be adopted by him."
