Katie Price has shared a lengthy message in response to Peter Andre's bombshell statement about her parenting of daughter Princess and son Junior.
In it, she admitted to her 'sins' while vowing to 'be better' after years of personal battles with addiction and mental health issues.
It comes after, in a recent Instagram post, Peter hit out at his ex-wife, making shocking comments about their kids' welfare.
Peter, who met the former glamour model on I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2004, said he felt 'frustrated' at having to remain silent since their separation in 2009, but felt compelled to speak out now to 'set the record straight' once and for all.
He wrote that, in 2019, 'the family courts issued a legally binding order' to enforce the arrangement of Princess, now 18, and Junior, now 20, living with him and his wife, Emily Andre, 35, due to 'well-documented' reasons.
The Mysterious Girl hitmaker claimed that Katie is continuing to repeat 'falsehoods' and 'lies' about him and his relationship with his kids, more of which will be addressed in the 'coming months'.
It is assumed he is referring to Katie's claims that she was 'banned' from Princess's recent birthday party, which was filmed for the budding influencer's fly-on-the-wall series with ITV.
Initially, it was speculated that there was a rift between the reality star and her daughter but after Princess firmly quashed these, Katie claimed it was her daughter's management—who also manage Peter—who dished out the order.
Now, Katie has taken to her own social media page with an essay about 'saints and sinners'.
She wrote this evening: 'Saints and sinners. As we know, in this life we are thought of as Saints and Sinners.
'I know I will always be a Sinner. That's fair, I allowed myself to fail into reliance on drugs and alcohol.
'At times I was not the mother I should have been while I struggled with mental illness. I have been at times a poor friend, an awful sibling, an an untrustworthy partner.
'I've self medicated, been unfaithful, damaged myself and those that I love.
'I've had many reasons – I was sexually abused when younger; I've had relationships that have been coercive; and my mental health issues – but I don't want to make excuses.
'I've recognised my issues and worked to put them behind me. Sometimes I tried and failed, sometimes I succeeded.
'I've pulled myself out of suicidal spiral because I love my children and want to be there for them.
'I don't pretend to be perfect by any means – but I'm trying to be the best I can.'
Katie proceeded to mention the 'Saints' who are 'genuine' and have 'helped her', before launching an attack on those who 'are not who they would have you believe they are'.
'They have a carefully managed image which must be exhausting to maintain,' she continued.
'Some Saints are fake. They play the victim and to succeed in life they need a villain… or at least a Sinner. Without the Sinner they don't get to be the Saint…
'As a Sinner – I sometimes get bored of these Saints. But maybe I should feel sorry for them, It must be such hard work having to pretend all the time.'
Katie concluded: 'Anyway, all you Sinners keep your heads up and keep trying to be better. All you Saints, it's ok not to be perfect xxx'
Her latest post comes after Katie's reps issued a statement to Metro after Peter revealed Princess and Junior had been in his care since 2018 'for their safety'.
'Kate is in a much better and clear headspace and is at peace with the situation,' they said. '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 lawyer's hands.
