Katie Price has thanked Sir Elton John for introducing her to her new boyfriend.

The British TV star met Argentinean polo player Leandro Penna at an Oscars party hosted by the singer and his husband David Furnish in Los Angeles in February and the mother-of-three will always be indebted to them because she's so happy.

She wrote on twitter page: "we are so compatible we cant thank Elton John and David Furnish enough xx (sic)"

Katie - who is in the process of divorcing second husband Alex Reid, who she split from in January - is currently in Cordoba, Argentina, with Leandro, where she has been introduced to his parents Mercedes and Hector.

Tweeting about their meeting, she said: "great time great day great family leo is a true gent (sic)"

It seems Katie has become very taken with Argentina and has even started to learn Spanish.

She gushed in a tweet written in Spanish, which has been translated: "I love Cordoba. I'm fascinated with this province! The perfect Combrecita. (sic)"

She even wrote "Katie Io amo" meaning "I love him".

Although she is now gushing about Leandro, 25, just a few weeks ago Katie, 32, was adamant she was taking things slowly with her new man.

She revealed: "We're just getting to know each other, in fact I wanted to be single after Alex, but I ended up meeting Leo, but we're just getting to know each other now."
