Chris Clark parties with Katie Price
Chris Clark has been at the centre of a storm following his shock break-up from Little Mix beauty Jesy Nelson.
So the TOWIE star was naturally keen to distance himself from his woes as he lived it up alongside Katie Price and his co-star brother Jon in Birmingham on Sunday night.
His night on the town came just hours after he slammed claims stating that he has used his romance with his fellow Essex-native in a bid to gain publicity, as he insisted the split was merely due to lifestyle differences and distance.

Little who? Chris Clark was naturally keen to distance himself from his Jesy Nelson split as he lived it up alongside Katie Price and his co-star brother Jon in Birmingham on Sunday night
Jesy and Chris confirmed their brief romance in mid-March with a snap of the pair kissing taken while the hunk jetted to the US to visit the songstress during their supporting slot on Ariana Grande's Dangerous Woman tour.
While all initially seemed rosy, he later stunned fans when it was claimed last week that he dumped the stunner over the phone, although insiders later report he was 'pretty down in the dumps at the moment' regarding the split.
Maintaining a carefree stance on the demise of the relationship, the handsome star headed out with his brother on Sunday where they met with the glamour model.
Jon added a simple caption on the shot reading: 'Pricey', as the brothers draped themselves around Katie while she pulled her very famous pout while pointing towards the Love Island star.

Hours before the night out, rumours began to surface claiming Chris had used the split as a publicity stunt - after which he issued a staunch denial amid the claims.
A representative for the star told MailOnline: 'The suggestion that Chris would use a relationship as a publicity stunt is absurd, it didn't work out due to distance and differences in their lifestyles.'
Chris and Jesy's doomed romance was thrown into the spotlight once more after the TOWIE hunk began liking snaps of his co-star ex Amber Dowding, which were posted during his Little Mix love affair.
The shocking revelation comes after sources claimed to The Sun that the 22-year-old reality hunk used his relationship, which he reportedly ended over the phone, as 'a publicity stunt' and a bid to look 'hurt' before reuniting with Amber.
As the convoluted break-up plays out, it has now been claimed that Chris is set to get back with Amber in a TOWIE storyline with all talk of his post break-up depression being a ruse for a publicity stunt.
On 7 April, Amber posted a stunning selfie - an image which Chris went on to like, while on the same day Jesy liked a snap of Chris posing alongside his co-star brother Jon. There is nothing to suggest he liked the image during his relationship.

Before Chris' denials, sources told The Sun: 'Jesy has obviously been upset this week by the break up, especially with it happening whilst she is away from him on tour. She really believed it was going somewhere.
'The next day Chris followed his ex-girlfriend on Instagram again and they started interacting online... The theory is that this was all done for publicity, and that Chris and his ex will be getting back together as a storyline for Towie.
'There are stories doing the rounds on line that Chris is upset and hopeful that him and Jesy can get back together, but that’s not true at all – he has made it clear to Jesy they won’t be getting back together.'
Homeward bound: Atop the social media activity from the TOWIE stars, Jesy took to Instagram on Sunday to share a snap with her bandmates and dancers while adding the caption: What an experience! Until next time US', as she prepared to come home'

But new sources have come forward claiming Chris has taken the split pretty hard, and hopes they can give romance another go.
Jesy and her bandmates are currently supporting Ariana Grande on a US tour, a factor which apparently contributed to the break-up.
But a pal close to the Chris told The Sun he hopes to rekindle things when she is back in the UK, adding: 'Chris is pretty down in the dumps at the moment.
'He's told friends that he doesn't want to throw away what he had with Jesy. If the timing was right he would definitely give their romance another chance but he's unsure if Jesy feels the same. '
