Katie Price's furious Peter Andre rant as she holds 'worst fears' for kids
It's been 16 years since Katie Price split from her first husband, Peter Andre, but it seems their feud is far from over. In fact, things appear to have escalated even further, and the former glamour model is said to have reached breaking point.
In a furious rant, Katie, 47, claimed she was 'left out' of their daughter Princess's 18th birthday party, which was hosted by Peter and his wife Emily. 'The situation has really upset Katie,' says a source.
'There has been a build-up of tension recently and it all came to a head last week over Princess's birthday. Katie was devastated and felt like she had basically been banned from attending. All the talk about their relationship angered and upset her, and she had a bit of a meltdown – because she is still so close to her kids.
'Falling out with her children would be her worst fear. They only have one mum and it is her. She adores them, sees them regularly and she'd never want to lose that.'
Princess celebrated her milestone birthday at an intimate party with dad Peter, 52, and his wife, Emily MacDonagh, 35. Members of Pete's management team, The Can Group, were also guests. But the top PR company found themselves on the receiving end of Katie's anger after she alleged she wasn't invited because they wouldn't 'allow' Princess – who they also represent – to be seen with her mother.
'Princess is now an adult, so, officially, Mummy and Princess can go out together,' Katie stated on her podcast, The Katie Price Show, before adding, pointedly, 'If certain people would let her be seen with me.'
However, when contacted by New magazine, the management firm claimed: 'We have never – and would never – stop Princess from seeing Katie. We would never intervene in any of our clients seeing their parents or not.'
Another source claims: 'Pete and Emily simply put on a three-hour party for Princess' 18th, which is totally normal for any child of parents who have split. They organise things separately – Pete's never been invited to anything Katie's organised, and vice versa. Katie was in Dubai – she could have come back.
'It's such a shame – this should have been about Princess. It's an important birthday, she's doing so well in her career and she should have been enjoying it, rather than worrying about all this.'
While Katie may not have been involved in the Andres' party, it was believed she and Princess would celebrate in their own way. 'Maybe we'll have a nice dinner together,' Princess told OK! magazine last month.
However, Katie – who, during her trip to Dubai, shared an image of writing on a beach which read, 'My daughters will always be my Princesses' – later suffered an embarrassing social media blunder when she posted a birthday message to Princess two days early.
'Happy 18th Birthday to the most amazing daughter. And my best friend @princess_andre. I love you so much,' she wrote on 27 June, before swiftly deleting it, later sharing a second message on 29 June – Princess' actual birthday.
Following the faux pas, Katie fell foul of online trolls, with one saying she 'can't even remember her own daughter's birthday'.
This, the source close to Katie claims, made her see red. 'She doesn't like being trolled or for people to think she's a bad mum. She loves her kids.'
Meanwhile, Katie spoke of her lack of involvement in Princess' upcoming ITV reality show on the podcast, saying, 'I'm not in it. Certain people don't think it's good for Princess to be seen with me,' claimed Katie, who also shares son Junior, 20, with Peter.
Katie's sister and podcast co-host, Sophie, then chimed in, 'You aren't on brand, Kate. You're too risky.' Clearly riled, Katie continued, 'It's pathetic. I'm her mother… It's so sad.' Sophie then cut in, diplomatically 'let's save that for another day'.
Katie's rant is the latest in a string of controversial comments about her ex-husband, who she fell for while appearing on I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2004. At the time of her divorce from the singer, Katie admitted she didn't want to split up, saying, 'Pete is the love of my life. I am devastated and disappointed by his decision.'
Last October, Katie branded Peter 'jealous' as she discussed their divorce on The Louis Theroux Podcast. And when quizzed about how they communicate post-split, she simply said, 'Don't speak to him.'
Both Princess and Junior have a strong bond with their pop star dad and spend most of their time at home with him, Emily, and their three children – Amelia, 11, Theo, eight, and one-year-old Arabella.
Katie said last year, '[Princess and Junior] know their dad is never written about in a bad way. They know I'm always written about in a bad way.'
The source close to Katie adds, 'She doesn't like constantly being painted in a bad light. Pete feels as though he is the protector and because their relationship is strained it's a tough balance to strike. It's been a case of high emotions for Katie.'

Princess Andre's ITV docuseries changed my mind about her
'My ultimate goal in life is to become a successful businesswoman.' These are probably not words you expected to hear from 18-year-old Princess Andre. The daughter of Katie Price and Peter Andre, there's no denying she's well acquainted with press attention and preconceived notions about her character. However, by forging a career for herself in show business and committing to a warts-and-all reality TV series, she's forced all of those stereotypes out the window. As such, the spoiled, uninspired, idle nepo baby label the public might not have hesitated to brand her with just a few weeks ago is no more. The Princess Diaries landed on ITV last weekend, undoubtedly to a curious audience all asking the same question: What could she possibly have to say? The answer? More than you'd expect. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Comprising four parts and starring brother Junior, 20, pop star dad Peter, 52, and his wife, Emily, 35, The Princess Diaries follows the budding influencer through milestones of her teen years, from passing her driving test to walking in her first fashion show, all before officially celebrating becoming an adult. Cameras accompany Princess, who has amassed over 800,000 followers on Instagram alone, to brand meetings, photoshoots, industry events, and work trips abroad, leaving no stone unturned for those inquisitive and most likely with snobbish misconceptions about being a social media personality. Is it vapid at times? Of course. One of the very first scenes shows her squealing and panicking over her manager's dog dribbling sausage grease on her Louis Vuitton sliders, and some of the conversations with her friends feel uncomfortably forced. But do I believe the series is worthy of the 'tragic' and 'awkward' descriptors assigned to it in some reviews? No. I went into viewing the series hoping to be pleasantly surprised, and I certainly was. I was taken aback by Princess's honesty and vulnerability, not to mention her drive and passion to make a name for herself in a saturated industry that her own mum and dad have already monopolised. I didn't anticipate her speaking so openly about her childhood trauma, such as the horrifying carjacking ordeal in South Africa, which saw her, Katie, and Junior held at gunpoint by six men, with authorities saying it was a 'miracle' they survived. I didn't anticipate her candid admissions about body insecurities, having expressed her 'anxiety' about being 'exposed' in a bikini for her first runway modelling gig. I didn't anticipate her being so frank about moving on from her first heartbreak and navigating the dating scene again after ending things with her boyfriend of two years. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video I didn't anticipate talk about periods — and that all-too-familiar fear of leaking through your nicest outfit on an important day — or discussions about her regrets of not having a 'happier' upbringing. Ultimately, I expected a more manufactured, meticulously curated portrayal of Princess's life, which certainly would've been the easier route to take, given how she's learnt from two experts how to only show the media a version of yourself you want them to see. Instead, I was greeted by some rather thought-provoking viewing, particularly in the scenes where Princess reflects on her mum's personal woes and very public relationship crises. Reminiscing on Katie's split from Kieran Hayler in 2018, she said she became privy to 'things that kids should never have to see' as the former glamour model descended into turmoil, her parenting falling short as a result. Though Princess admitted she has never 'fully recovered' from the ordeal, she did reveal that her mum has 'genuinely fixed herself' and apologised to her kids about the way she behaved. It was definitely the most stand-out scene of the series, as Princess displayed true bravery by lifting the curtain on her now seemingly perfect life at home with a celebrity dad in his mansion. What's more, she gave us a moment most children of divorce can relate to, whether on the astronomical scale of Katie and Peter or not, stating how 'awkward' it would be for her parents to now be in the same room, given their disdain for one another after countless episodes of mud-slinging in the press over the years. More Trending Princess has proven that her head is firmly screwed on, and she has her sights set on her own career goals regardless of the latest drama involving her parents, who divorced in 2009 after four years of marriage. This teen has far more to her than her chaotic upbringing, and she's already doing a fine job of striking that perfect nepo baby balance of acknowledging her advantages and who gave her the leg-up, but also having independent ambitions and being willing to graft to achieve them. In conclusion, Princess Andre is far more multidimensional than cynics might assume.

BABYFLEAREINDEERBAG (WIP) ★★★★ Summerhall (Venue 26) until 25 August There's no more obvious sign that something has become too unwieldy to function than when it begins to eat itself. Take, for example, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, in which Bringing Shows To the Fringe seems to have become its own increasingly prevalent genre: a metatextual howl against the appalling labour conditions and precarious funding landscape in which the artists who make the festival are forced to work. Enter Fringe veteran Hannah Maxwell, whose latest show – the wryly titled BABYFLEAREINDEERBAG – deconstructs the cruel optimism of making art within a system which allows a select few to skyrocket to success and everyone else to flounder. Unfolding as a satirically corporate and thoroughly unhinged focus group, audience members are given name tag stickers and large post-it notes and encouraged to give feedback throughout the show, as Maxwell workshops three new ideas that she hopes – somewhat hopelessly – might be her long-awaited breakthrough. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Maxwell's self-deprecating wit is a fizzy delight, but it cleverly masks a spiral of self-doubt and criticism that begins to creep into the show, as feedback options provided on her middle-management-style PowerPoint go from the mildly constructive to the outright hostile. Is it possible, BABYFLEAREINDEERBAG asks, to maintain a sense of self-belief as an artist amidst the structural disinterest of a failing arts landscape, and the siren call of the Autobiographical Show Industrial Complex that defines the Fringe's few successes? What does it do to a person to continually have to sell themselves, particularly when no one seems to want to buy? Almost certainly nothing good, but watching Maxwell convey this through her deft and hilarious manipulation of genre and media is an (admittedly somewhat guilt-ridden) giddy ride. The Fringe may be eating itself but BABYFLEAREINDEERBAG is a compellingly delicious refusal to beg for a seat at the table. Anahit Behrooz David and Katie Get Re-Married ★★★ Friesian at Underbelly, Bristo Square (Venue 302) until 24 August David and Katie are star-crossed haters in this toe-curling caricature of a millennial couple remarrying after a tempestuous dating history. The decision is painfully questionable from the moment they set foot on stage, smothering each other in cloying affection. Each saccharine declaration of 'I love you' and therapy speak affirmations function as flimsy sticking plasters over cavernous emotional wounds. The audience are guests at their wedding, taken through their dating history, chance meeting at a college party to their first wedding, breakups, getting back together, all flecked by vinegary arguments and explosive emotions. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad It's a wittily observed send-up of millennial adults lacking in as much emotional intelligence as self-awareness, condemned to circle the same doomed cycle of breakup and reunion. Between sparky songs about failed sex experiments and volleys of petty insults, a grim realisation creeps in: they are hopelessly co-dependent, and neither are capable of escaping the other's gravitational pull. The comedy is broad, the tone often hyper-silly. Though it runs out of steam towards the final moments, there's a tragic edge to the whole thing, a sense that beneath the caricature lies a sadly recognisable truth about love, that letting go is harder than it looks. Alexander Cohen King ★★★ Former Gents Locker Room at Summerhall (Venue 26) until 25 August In King, socially anxious Yen discovers an unexpected liberation through drag performance. She reinvents herself as 'Sterling da Silva', a swaggering crypto-bro parody so pitch-perfect you can smell the protein powder. What starts as a private joke metastasises into a second life, one in which Yen is liberated from patriarchal expectations pinned on her by a clueless boyfriend. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad But there are limits to liberation. A rocky relationship with her newfound community of drag queens raises awkward questions about the politics of performance, community boundaries and the thin line between escape and appropriation, fissures which creep into Yen's personal life. The satire bites hardest when it skewers the smug banter and bravado of finance bro culture. Performer Jo Tan switches deftly between Yen's jittery awkwardness and Sterling's preening machismo. Her elastic performance is the show's real engine. When it widens its lens to gender roles in modern Singapore, the focus blurs and the sharp commentary dulls: the final moments feels more like tidy conclusion than an organic finale. The momentum rarely sags under Irfan Kasban's brisk direction. King isn't quite a knockout, but it lands its hits with the satisfying thud. Alexander Cohen Lovett | Andrew Perry Lovett ★★★ Pleasance Courtyard (Venue 33) until 25 August In most iterations of the Sweeney Todd story, Mrs Lovett plays second fiddle – or should that be second razor? – to the demon barber of Fleet Street. In this one-woman play written and performed by Lucy Roslyn, though, Nelly takes centre stage. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The hour-long monologue begins with Roslyn's Nelly – real name Eleanor – solemnly sharpening a knife on a butcher's block and explaining the finer points of carving up a carcass. From there, she slowly tells the dark and desperate story of her life. We hear about an early encounter with a beached whale on the banks of the Thames; how Nelly's French mother sold her body after the death of her husband; how Nelly found security in her marriage to a German businessman; and how her life was injected with erotic excitement when she met a charming young barber called Mr Todd. Roslyn plays Nelly with a steely glint in her eye and a sly smile, sometimes sliding into other characters – a one-eyed prostitute, an abusive priest – as her story unfolds. She evokes the grittiness and griminess of nineteenth-century London well, too. It takes a long time for the meat of this monologue to arrive – a lot of religious imagery and animal metaphors get in the way of the narrative – but it is delicious when it does. Fergus Morgan How To Kill Your Landlord ★★ Bedlam Theatre (Venue 49) until 25 August Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad There's a 1980s punk spirit and a 2020s disclaimer (don't really kill your landlord) in this surreal comedy in which a group of 20-something tenants decide that the only way to get their skiing, scheming landlord out of their lives and crumbling flat is to kill him. Within the slapstick is a serious message about housing inequality between the generations in a piece that has the lively tone of an early evening BBC comedy with more big energy than laughable jokes. The younger performers could bring more nuance to their roles – an online yoga teacher, crypto trading tech bro and stressed city worker – in a plot with more variation, but the intentions are strong. Sally Stott The Cyclops ★★ theSpace @ Symposium Hall (Venue 43) until 23 August There's some great free-flowing comic banter from the talented Scottish cast in this rethinking of the Greek legend, which is transported to a pub get-together where the aftereffects of a modern-day tragedy are slowly revealed. Anyone looking for a more literal depiction of the single-eyed giant from Odysseus might be confused, but a story that celebrates friendship and raises awareness of men's mental health offers some pertinent observations on what's hidden behind acerbic put-downs and pints of beer. A structure that is predominantly a single pub conversation struggles to sustain an hour-long play, but the good energy and intentions help to keep the ship afloat. Sally Stott Will You Be Praying the Entire Flight? ★★★ theSpace @ Niddry St (Venue 9) until 16 August Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad This is a likeable character comedy two-hander, in which two young Jewish women with very different lives and attitudes meet on a plane to London and discover that they have more in common than it at first seems. One is ultra-orthodox, Hasidic and suffering from a severe case of flight sickness. The other, horrified, is a secular software developer, more at home in her pyjamas and oversized headphones. Playwright Gili Malinsky's tight script is full of the dry, wry dialogue that, in its comic brevity, seems to be referencing the world of Jim Henson and not just on the latter character's Animal-themed T-shirt. It's a dry mood that is accentuated by Rachel Ravel and Marissa Ruben's stripped back, understated delivery, in which they stare straight ahead under S. Dylan Zwickel's similarly punchy direction attended by Madeline Rose Parks' socially inept air hostess. The conversation covers work, relationships, region and non-religion and, briefly, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, although there's a clear gap in this part of the conversation – that of a Palestinian voice, which feels particularly absent at a time when unfathomable horrors are being carried out in the region. But within the limited scope of a simple story of two very different Jewish woman meeting on a plane, it's calling for understanding over conflict and finding the places that unify rather than divide. Sally Stott Dream with me... ★★ Greenside @ George Street (Venue 236) until 16 August There's a toddler in the audience who's loving this bold and experimental shape-shifting, self-referential, relatively late-night show about a man's metamorphosis-filled dreams featuring his father, his former athletics coach, a goblin, a pigeon and a fish. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad It's deliberately esoteric and, with writer/performer Samuel Koppel's jagged movements intercut with his monologues, the discombobulating feeling of travelling through the depths of the subconscious in sleep is well evoked. Unless you're the aforementioned toddler, the difficultly is in sustaining this for an hour-long place. 'I hope it's not too random, too complicated,' he says. It's not, but it wouldn't suffer from a bit more structure for the adults.

Princess Andre addresses Katie Price birthday 'snub' after dad's furious statement
Princess Andre has spoken out about the so-called 'birthday row' following her dad Peter Andre's statement, clarifying why her mum Katie Price wasn't part of the occasion Princess Andre has set the record straight after claims that her mum Katie Price was banned from her 18th birthday soiree amid growing tensions with her ex Peter Andre. The birthday bash, which seemingly sparked the latest row between Katie and Peter, saw Princess celebrate with her dad and other family members as the cameras rolled for her new reality show, The Princess Diaries. Just before the docu-series aired, Katie admitted she was "upset" over not being at the party. She said on her podcast: "Certain people don't think it's good for Princess to be seen with me. Certain people that used to look after me. It's pathetic. I'm her mother. It's sad ... Princess was like 'I'm having a party'. And I wasn't invited because it was for 'filming.'" But Princess, who turned 18 in June, has said that stories suggesting she deliberately excluded her mum from her televised celebration are misleading. The teen insisted that it wasn't a deliberate snub to exclude Katie, 47. The influencer said simply that she was living with her dad when filming took place, so it was he who naturally appeared in the show more frequently. "It was never true that I said I didn't want her in it," she told The Guardian in a new interview. When asked about the birthday party, Princess described how the concept of her having two separate celebrations - meaning spending time with each parent - was standard for her life after their split. Her mother wasn't invited to the intimate family gathering with her father, but she said: "It would be quite strange for my mum and dad to be in it at the same time." Katie Price and Peter Andre have been at loggerheads since their split in 2009. The TV couple had been married for four years, and had welcomed children Junior and Princess after meeting on ITV's I'm A Celeb in 2004. Princess's comments come in the wake of her father's surprise public response to claims made by Katie Price about their children's living arrangements. In a scathing statement, Peter stated that Princess and her brother Junior have lived with him "for safety reasons" since 2018. Posting on Instagram, the father-of-five broke what he described as 16 years of silence, writing: "For sixteen years, I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silent has been incredibly frustrating. That ends today. "The latest comments about my children's welfare and living arrangements compel me to set the record straight. For well-documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood. In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement. I have never made this public before, out of respect for my children. "In 2011 and 2015, publicly documented court cases found my ex-wife had made false claims. She was ordered to pay substantial damages and legal costs, and to apologise to me and my management. The same falsehoods are being repeated today. Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations I have yet to address. Those will now be dealt with in the coming months." In response to the statement, a spokesperson for Katie told the Mirror: "Kate is in a much better and clear headspace and is at peace with the situation. This was in the past and she doesn't feel the need to bring up tit-for-tat comments, but more importantly, she's dealing with this the right way and it's now in her lawyers' hands. Kate will no longer be gaslighted and bullied as she once was..."
