Katie Price shares 'sad' admission about co-parenting with Peter Andre and Emily
Katie Price has opened up about her relationship with ex-husband Peter Andre and his new wife Emily, and what she finds "the most difficult" about co-parenting Katie Price has opened up, admitting she feels "sad" over the lack of communication with her ex-husband Peter Andre, despite sharing two children. The former glamour model, now 47, struck up a romance with the pop star on the hit show I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! back in 2004, leading to a fairy-tale wedding at Highclere Castle the next year. Yet, by 2009, their love story had turned bitter, resulting in a split. Katie recently disclosed that she and Peter do not speak, even though they co-parent their son Junior, 19, and daughter Princess, 17. Instead, the pair communicate through their legal teams. Appearing on the Katherine Ryan on the What's My Age Again? podcast Katie described co-parenting as "the most difficult thing". Expressing her feelings about Peter and his new wife Emily, she said, "It's sad, really. Now, we don't even talk, even though I'd like to. I'm glad he's with Emily. She seems like a proper lady. I think it'd be weird if he went for someone like me." Katie shared that Princess is unable to picture her parents as a couple: "But what is funny, Junior and Princess. Mainly Princess, because Junior's more like a bit more guarded, [Princess says] 'I can't imagine you and Dad together. You're just so nuts, Mum. When I see you and Emily, you're just so different. I can't imagine you and Dad'." Katie Price opened up about the lighter moments of her past relationship on Paul Brunson's We Need To Talk podcast, recalling to her daughter: "I said I was with your dad for six years. Trust me. We had a laugh, bantered together. We did. "She said, 'I just can't imagine Dad being like that'. I said, but he was. He was like that. We did have a laugh. And, you know, she can't believe that whenever he went everywhere or me, we were together with the kids. And we'd go as a family." Katie highlighted differences in parenting approaches: "Emily doesn't do all that for Pete. I said, me and Pete just did it all together as a family. If we'd got you kids, you would come with us. Like, she goes, 'I just can't imagine it, Mum.'". During her emotional session on the podcast, Katie also detailed the accusations which led to her split from Peter Andre: "We broke up because he thought I was having an affair with my dressage rider, and I've never slept with him. I just kept my horse there, and I was happy keeping my horse there, and he was married." She expressed her frustration during their breakup, saying: "But when me and Pete split, because he used to keep saying, that's it. I've had enough. I've had enough. It got to a point where I went well f****** divorce me." Katie recollected the dramatic day of her separation: "And I remember the day, because then I flew to the Maldives with the kids. That day, I'm at the airport, it's all on Sky News, it wasn't mutual at all." She said public perception differed from reality: "And then I redone a statement saying I don't want to split with Pete, it's Pete that's splitting with me. Until this day, me and Pete have never sat down and spoken about it." The mum-of-five opened up about the strains of co-parenting, sharing: "Behind the scenes, it's the most difficult thing, but I realised you get to know what people are really like, and I've had it tough. "But yeah, it is sad. Never ever sat down with him and spoke about it. We were kept all of a sudden, split and I think that's where my independence comes from." After rising to stardom as a Page 3 icon in the 1990s, Katie has graced our screens in numerous TV appearances, including a two-year stint as a panellist on Loose Women. Not just mum to Junior, 19, and Princess, 17, she's also parent to Harvey, 22, from her past relationship with ex-footballer Dwight Yorke, as well as kids Jett and Bunny with former spouse Kieran Hayler. Katie has walked down the aisle three times, first with singer Peter Andre in 2005, then with cage fighter Alex Reid in 2010, and lastly, with Kieran in 2013. She's now romantically linked with Married at First Sight contestant JJ Slater.

When I see you and Emily, you're just so different. I can't imagine you and dad'." Katie responded to her daughter's confusion about her past with her father, stating, "I said, 'I was with your dad six years. Trust me, we had a laugh, bantered together, we did'." Princess struggled to envision her parents together, prompting Katie to assure her, "She said, 'I just can't imagine dad being like that'. I said, 'But he was, he was like that. We did have a laugh'." Katie explained the family dynamic during her marriage with Peter, saying, "And, you know, she can't believe that whenever he went everywhere or me, we were together with the kids. And we'd go as a family." Distinguishing her parenting style from Peter's current wife, Emily, Katie pointed out, "Emily doesn't do all that for Pete. I said, 'Me and Pete just did it all together as a family. If we'd got you kids, you would come with us'." Addressing the reasons behind their split, Katie talked about a serious misunderstanding when speaking to Paul C Brunson on his We Need To Talk podcast, "We broke up because he thought I was having an affair with my dressage rider, and I've never slept with him," she stated. She elaborated on the circumstances of their breakup, mentioning, "I just kept my horse there, and I was happy keeping my horse there, and he [the instructor] was married." The aftermath of their argument was shockingly public for Katie, as she discovered the news of their separation through Sky News reports. Katie vehemently denied that the couple's parting was amicable and later made it clear in her own statement that she did not want the relationship with Peter to end. "Until this day, me and Pete have never sat down and spoken about it. It's all through lawyers," she disclosed. "I've never sat down with him, we probably would've sorted it out but we were kept apart."

Bosses are reportedly keen to avoid any further controversies this year, and are 'taking no chances' in bookings. Blue Peter presenters Joel Mawhinney and Shini Muthukrishnan are said to be in the running, along with Tom Parker Bowles, Queen Camilla's son. According to the MailOnline, a host of famous faces have already been approached for this year's series, which is set to get underway in September. Other big names reportedly lined up include former I'm A Celebrity winner Georgia Toffolo, Girls Aloud singer Nicola Roberts, ex-Love Island star Dani Dyer, and former Coronation Street actress Helen Flanagan. A BBC insider reportedly told MailOnline: "There will be stringent checks, and asking around, and digging into potential stars' backgrounds to make sure that they're not choosing anyone who might damage the show. 'For years, there was the whole Strictly 'curse' where the contestants and professionals kept having affairs. But that stopped. "Changes were made to the partnerships and it worked. There have been other issues in the past couple of years, though. 'Going forward, those at the top want a wholesome image to shine through. No more scandal – just joy." It follows recent controversies on Strictly, where professional dancer Giovanni Pernice was the subject of an internal investigation. Recommended reading: Former BBC Radio Wales host Wynne Evans also issued a public apology for making what he called an 'inappropriate and unacceptable' comment during the Strictly live tour launch in December last year.
