Just when we thought we had heard it all, the Katie Price circus has swung into action again. The newly-single star has become involved in a bitter war of words with ex-hubby Peter Andre after daughter Princess suffered a minor burn on holiday, furiously revealing: 'I will take whatever insults my ex-husband wishes to heap on me but I will not accept him portraying me as a bad mother.'

The battle began in Peter’s corner, after the Australian singer blasted Katie for keeping him in the dark when Princess sustained the small injury during a skiing holiday.

Pete revealed he had visited a lawyer following the incident, after trying and failing to contact Katie himself.

'Princess arrived at Pete’s house with a burn on her body he hadn’t been made aware of. He has been trying to find out how she sustained the injury,’ his spokesman told the Mirror.

‘When he was unable to get a response from Princess’s mother he decided to deal with it legally. But needless to say, he’s very concerned.’

But Katie denied the burn was anything serious.

'Princess has in fact got a minor burn under her armpit that she received in a fluke accident when she was in Klosters,' she said of the incident.

'At that time she was with my mother and my sister and had (unbeknown to my sister) followed my sister to retrieve pyjama's (sic) left to warm.

'That injury was seen to immediately and while it is of course upsetting that it happened at all, it was an accident of the type that happen to children all the time.'

And the furious star was quick to hit back at her ex-husband in the swift statement, branding Petershameful’ and accusing him of using the children to gain publicity.

‘At a time when I am trying to persuade my ex-husband to remove the children from the public eye to have this incident appear in the press and garner a little publicity is quite shameful,' Katie ranted in her own statement.

'I am just so sad, and so sorry, to have to respond publically (sic) to the article and my ex-husband's statement. I will take whatever insults my ex-husband wishes to heap on me but I will not accept him portraying me as a bad mother.'

Katie also used the opportunity to deny reports she had used hair straighteners on the three-year-old’s blonde curls.

'In fact Princess had her hair straightened by me at her request after I had bathed her and washed her hair. Straighteners were not used,’ she said.

My opinion is that I think Katie Price is vile. However, I believe her to be a good mother as I believe Peter Andre to be a good father. I do believe though that Peter Andre is milking the sympathy vote. There is no doubt that he has conducted himself much better throughout their break up..but keep your private lives private. As for the minor injury on Princess - why go to to a lawyer? Could he not have asked the child herself (and speak to Katie when he handed the children back) - or could he not have spoken to Katie's mother or sister. Dragging everything into the news is just pathetic and sad. Katie Price is a has been now - she has had her best years. There are younger wannabees behind her now. She should just move away from the public eye and get on with her life. Peter Andre's career is doing well as is his private life. He too should just keep his mouth shut now. The whole thing is just boring now.

Both Peter and Katie love their children and perhaps they should now act like parents and put the needs of the children first. They can communicate in many ways without resorting to accusation and fighting. All children have minor accidents and the most important thing for the parents to show is love and tolerance for their children and this might just include a little understanding to each other.

I think they are both revolting examples of everything that is wrong with today's society. Having had the misfortune of hearing Peter Andre's album whilst shopping the other day I would say that he is trying to rouse public sympathy seeing as this is what produced success for him previously. They are both totally obsessed with fame and I totally pity those poor children who have no say in whether or not they grow up in the public eye. It is sad that Princess is being taught from such an early age to invest time in changing her appearance rather than loving herself for who she is. It is also worrying that Junior gets such an unrealistic view on the world in terms of the lengths a woman 'needs' to go to in order to feel beautiful. Who knows how much time they're going to need to spend in therapy when they get older.

I just feel so sorry for their daughter. What chance at any kind of normalcy does she have with parents who are so obsessed with being 'famous' that they resort to using their children as tools to get publicity.
Shame on them both.

I think Peter is a fantastic father and Katie is a good Mother however I Do wonder why Peter couldn't get hold of her, as a father he has the right to know how his children are and if they get hurt, how it happened

Tch! tch! how about telling both these people that washing your dirty linen in public is very chav but then again ...... they are in the business of getting publicity so Im afraid we have a lot more to read about. Yawn, yawn!

If Katie stopped her sad and relentless publicity seeking episodes maybe her children would have some sort of normal life. I fear though she panics if she is not on the front pages of any mags and starts some other unlikely lifestyle choice. She has no integrity whatsoever and in this instance the children would have been far better off with Peter.

I also believe kp is a vile woman I dear say all this is because Peter is in a happy relationship and she is out in the cold. It was only the other week she said to the press "Pete lets be friends" which I thought a bit strange because she has never had a good thing to say about him when she was with her wannabe husband and Peter was on his own but as soon as he became happily involved with his Girlfriend (who is worth twenty of kp) she threw her wannabe husband out and said that to the press. I believe Peter had every right to know what had happened to Princess OK going to a lawyer was a tad over the top "BUT" maybe he did not have any other choice, I would not trust kp if her life depended on it.

Firstly I am not a fan of either, although I would like to say Katie Price went from rags to riches around 15 years ago. Glamour modelling, to television documentaries, books, perfume now underwear and equestrian clothing and possibly many more business intersts. She was a millionairess in her own right and had lots of publicity when she met Peter Andre. He on the otherhand was a pop star for about 2 years and certainly not in the same financial situation as Katie Price. Once they married and she changed her agent to his agent he gradually got involved in the documentary series too. Now they have divorced Katie Price is still a millionaress with all her businesses etc and her documentary series that she had before. Peter Andre now has documentary series, perfume etc etc and when his pop career is starting to wain he gets the media coverage by involving either his children or his ex wife. He always seems to be slagging her off for something and she always seems to be answering his comments. Why can they not just communicate between the two of them?

I will never, never come down on the side of Jordan/Katie Price. How she dare to ever criticise Peter Andre is totally beyond me. We all saw how badly she treated him in their reality shows when he had the misfortune to be married to her. He was always the loving concerned partner and she the sulky, hard, couldn't be bothered, selfish skank! She now holds himm to ransom over Harvey who Peter absolutely adores and lets him see Harvey only when it suits her. Not thinking of Harvey there is she depriving him of a brilliant role model who loves him! Then of course the rush to marry again shortly after her divorce to a man she so obviously didn't love (remember she completely disowned him during her interview on I'm a Celebrity) and surprise, surprise the break up a few months later! She makes a mockery of marriage, love and commitment and I have no doubt whatsoever that this vile woman will pretty soon have another mug on her arm! I wish Peter could have full custody of those children, he is BY FAR the better parent and he must constantly despair of his pathetic ex-wife's behaviour. Alex, believe me, you have had a lucky escape, but it beggars belief why you married this car crash in the first place.

Peter as anyone can see is a fantastic father & would in my opinion give his life up for his kids unlike their very selfish mother. It's a bit too late now to start being the caring mother, too little too late. She's fame hungry & will use every opportunity even resorting to using the kids, which she has often done & no doubt will continue to do so. Them kids have a little bit of normality at least when they are with their devoted dad, he will never have her back he should not have got with her in the 1st place, Alex should be thanking his lucky stars he's out of it, she was probably just using him anyway had he not won CBB would she have been interested in him, think not!!!

Comment by lin on February 07 18:29

Typical Mother and Father battling to say each are best at rearing their children, dragging up mire and making it a circus.........They are forgetting that they look like clowns and are making their children like the animals in cages.......Give up and talk TO EACH OTHER PRIVATELY, your children will read all this in years to come and NOT thank you for it xx

Dont you think sometimes its all apack of lies ,publicity is the name of the game no one can spend quality time with any child if your plane hopping,modelling book signing ,radio and tv performing,training for the olympic on so many horses,get real most of us are shattered on afulltime job and bringing our kids up we dont have an entourage of managers and nannyies ,so if you dont like it dont read it except it for what it is fantasy and wait to here the childrens side of it when there older ,but lets face it ,there is nothing real about this pair or there life ,
