Overview
- The exchange took place on Saturday at the Hair and Beauty Awards in Manchester when Price and Quickenden shared a playful on-stage back-and-forth that drew laughter from the audience.
- Price told the crowd that This Morning presenter Ben Shephard had suggested Quickenden as a match and then put him on the spot by asking if she was his type.
- Quickenden confirmed his separation from his wife in June, a fact that outlets say helped fuel public interest in the flirtation.
- An unnamed event insider told reporters the interaction "went beyond just flirting," saying the pair hugged and continued giggling after he left the stage, and Price’s representative declined to comment when asked about her marriage.
- Price attended the ceremony to present an award and to support her son, and there is still no confirmation of any romantic relationship between the two, though media scrutiny of Price’s personal life is likely to continue.
