He beamed as he was carried into London’s O2 Arena by Argentinian model Leandro Penna.

But the photograph of Junior Andre in Katie Price’s new boyfriend’s arms is unlikely to please Junior’s father Peter Andre, or Katie’s second husband Alex Reid.

And Leandro’s presence in the Price household seems to have had a huge effect on five-year-old Junior, who arrived at an X Factor tour meet and greet with a new ‘do to match 25-year-old Leandro’s hairstyle.

Leandro and Junior were also accompanied by Katie Price, 32, and three-year-old daughter Princess.

The couple’s appearance at the event comes as it was claimed Leandro was
planning to leave the UK after boosting his career through his pairing
with Katie.

Leandro is thought to have let his plot slip during a meal out with
Katie and some Spanish friends. But while Katie was at the table during
the discussion, Leandro spoke in Spanish so she wouldn’t understand.

He is quoted as having told the diner: ‘If she says this is going somewhere, it isn’t. I could never live here.

‘I’m
going back to Argentina after I’ve done work here. I miss my family, we
are very close. In Argentina, I’m more famous than Katie is here. I
have my own career which is actually going very well.’

The News of the World also revealed Leandro has a secret lovechild, a three-year-old daughter called Sofia.

While both Leandro and Katie kept quiet about the story this morning, Leandro tweeted somewhat cryptically: ‘The real people who know me know everything about me and I am the first person to tell. The British media think I’m hiding something.’

It’s not clear quite how seriously Katie is taking her relationship
with Leandro, but she said recently the couple are having a ‘lots of
fun’.

She is quoted as saying: ‘It is great after what has been
frankly a really grim last few months. It is very light-hearted, nothing
intense. But we are enjoying being with each other a lot.’

Other stars to attend the X Factor meet and greet included Michelle Heaton and Danielle Lloyd, who recently announced she is pregnant with her second child with fiancé Jamie O’Hara.
