As she was quizzed on Loose Women about whether she would soon marry her Argentinian fiancé Leandro Penna, the 33-year-old revealed she couldn't wed yet because she's still not divorced.
She told panel members Carol Vorderman, Lisa Maxwell, Janet Street-Porter and Jane McDonald: "Well I'm not divorced yet, that sounds really awful doesn't it?"
In March Katie and Alex, 38, were granted a decree nisi at the High Court in London.
The divorce should have been finalised by a decree absolute just a few weeks later, but Katie suggested today that the process was still being held up by her ex.
She said: "Well it would have been quicker, but obviously someone's after some more money so that's why these things take time."
Katie wed cagefighter Alex in February 2010. They split just 11 months later.
Before Alex, who is now engaged to Chantelle Houghton, former glamour model Katie was married to singer Peter Andre for three-and-a-half years.
And today Katie revealed she is going to take things more slowly when it comes to her third marriage.
She declared: "This time I am being very careful and grown up that there's no rush and I'm going to do everything properly, there's no rush.
"I don't want to keep getting married and married."
Asked what she meant by properly, she replied: "Well the last time was the rebound I have to say, it's true, but he was the rebound really from Pete.
"When I was with Pete I never thought we'd ever split, I always thought it was forever.
"We did split, I met Alex, and now I've met Leo and hopefully it will stay that way."
Katie was forced to wear curlers in her hair as she was introduced on the lunchtime ITV1 show after turning up at the studios late.
Sitting backstage with fellow guest Carrie Underwood she explained away her appearance by telling the Loose Women: "I'm always late."
Carol told her: "Well try and get them out before you come on later."
And Sun columnist Katie did, joining the ladies towards the end of the show looking as glammed up as ever, with her long blonde hair flowing over her shoulders.
Speaking about her initial problems communicating with Spanish-speaking toyboy Leandro, 26, she told the ladies: "He couldn't speak English, I couldn't speak Spanish, it was all google translate.
"Well at least you couldn't argue could you."
But she said things had now improved after Leandro learnt English.
She said: "He's had proper lessons in English, he speaks English now."
Katie also confirmed that she WILL be joining Leandro as his partner on dancing show Bailando Por Un Sueno.
She said: "I'll be doing it as well, they've asked me to do it, so I'll be doing it next month."
Leandro is currently taking part in Argentina's raunchier version of Strictly Come Dancing.
He performed his first dance with partner, Macarena Rinaldi, last Friday.
But his stiff disco routine was panned by the show's judges who scored them just 20 points.
Katie said she couldn't have joined Leandro on the show earlier as she is currently promoting new book In The Name Of Love.
Leandro previously said his wife-to-be was worried about him appearing on the steamy dancing show.
Contestants have been known to strip down to just their knickers and simulate sex acts in the past.
But she has since said Leandro can do what he likes, because no other woman would have a chance with her hunk.
She said last week: “She can be all sexy all over him. I’m not bothered. It doesn’t interest me.
“I have no problem with any woman going near Leo because I know he loves me."
Katie told the Loose Women: "He's dancing with a girl now, and I don't have a problem with that, but normally in these programmes they end up together don't they?"
Calls to Alex Reid's management went unanswered today.
