Katie Price's man flies in to see her

Katie Price's new man has jetted into Britain to see her less than two weeks after they met.

The 32-year-old star - who split from her husband Alex Reid in January after just 11 months of marriage - was spotted kissing 25-year-old Argentinean model Leandro Penna at Sir Elton John's post-Oscars party last month and friend have revealed he is keen to continue their fledgling relationship despite the language barrier.

A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "It could be more flirting and facial expressions than vocab.

"He and Katie really hit it off and had a mutual attraction for each other. She is really excited about his visit. To get over the language barrier, riding horses could be a real ice-breaker."

Katie posted a picture on her twitter account of the pair with her close friends Gary Cockerill and his husband Phil Turner last night (07.03.11) and wrote: "Having dinner and fun with friends xx."

Meanwhile, Leandro has admitted he likes Katie and hopes to get to know her better.

He said in an interview with heat magazine: "We are just getting to know each other, and you never know . I would like to keep getting to know her.

"In my country I didn't become famous for the people I've been seeing, but what I've done. I have always protected the people I have been with."
