London, March 20(IANS) Model Katie Price has been ordered to pay 'substantial' damages after falsely claiming her ex-husband Peter Andre was romancing his manager.

Earlier Price had targeted 'Mysterious Girl' hit-maker insisting that Andre was dating his manager Claire Powell, reports starpulse.com.

Powell's solicitor clarified that these rumours were 'completely untrue' and a judge at London's High Court Friday ordered Price, who was not present, to pay undisclosed damages for the remark.

'I didn't really want to be in court but if something bad is said, which is going to trash your reputation, you have to clear your name,' said Powell.
