I think that Peter Andre treated Katie badly and now it seems like the kids have turned on her?

Shes not allowed to be on Princess' show apparently

Yes true.

But I'm sure Emily will get tutors, make sure homework is done and other stuff PA and KP wouldn't have bothered with. Give them a fighting chance.

Well that obviously depends on their academic ability.

Yes true.

I was huge fans of both Katie and Peter back in the day. I remember watching their show and to be honest looking back on it now they are both as bad as each other. I remember Pete moaning that he didn't like Katie drinking or the clothes she wore and on and on it went. He wanted her to dress more middle class and act like a stepford wife. I remember thinking why did you marry her to just try and change everything about her. Then Peter had his own show after the split where him and his brothers constantly went on about the massive big thing Katie done to end their marriage but of course they weren't allowed to talk about it. 9999 billion times he repeatedly said how much he loves his kids. I don't think it was even a week after the split that she had a new man and had jetted off on holiday.

Honestly the both of them are an embarrassing car crash.

She went from saying they were held at gun point, then to they held the gun to her head, then after that it was they groped her boobs, then to how she was raped and then gang raped in South Africa. The ITV crew were there and have confirmed that they were robbed at gun point, but the rest DID NOT HAPPEN.

She lies purely for attention and adds on to the story when she feels she’s not getting enough shock and awe from it anymore. Everything that’s happened to her has always been the worst anyone has ever seen.

When she broke her feet pissed - Worst broken bones all the drs had ever seen, then added she’d never walk again and then would never wear heels again. Yet surprisingly she’s still staggering around pissed in her 8” shoes.

Her car crash - Worst the police had ever seen, they couldn’t believe she survived.

Her therapist - Worst trauma they’ve ever seen, all caused by all the men in her life, yet happy to pop off to Dubai to get shat on for a weekend.

That's just narcissism though, isn't it?
SHE can't help it if she has that disorder.

I don’t like KP or PA. I’m also of an opinion he was extremely controlling when he was married to her. I think the whole “family man” thing is orchestrated by his management and his wife who comes across as squeaky clean. I saw an interview with Princess where she says she can’t talk to her Dad about her Mum because she knows they hate each other. I’m divorced, my daughter was born the week after Princess and I don’t think this is normal or healthy. As her parents we both speak to her and also to each other because we think that is a more positive message to send her.

Princess looks just as uncomfortable around PA as KP IMO

She gives me the impression of a girl who learnt to be very good at managing her parents moods and making sure she's never the reason why their mood darkens.

Despite his whole brand being the "not KP parent" I think they're probably quite similar to be around from Princesses point of view: Say WOW THANKS MUM / DAD YOURE THE BEST at their big gestures that are more to do with the parents egos than the kids needs. Keep the little ones from annoying the parent, etc

His whole "nice guy"/"great dad" image and career post KP is build on a foundation of him being better than KP, not on him being objectively in his own right.

And Ive never met anyone who sells their strengths by pointing out other people's weakness, who was truly the better party of the two.

Think of your workplace! The person most loud about what work other people aren't doing. Are they ever much good themselves?

This is a very good point. He defines his parenting and personality in terms of hers, so it doesn't need to be great, just better than hers which is a low bar. He doesn't actually do anything great, does monetise the kids, albeit less, and comes over as a bit of a shit. But in his mind as long as he seems better than her, he's doing well.

I don't like Katie Price at all however, I watched their reality show and Peter Andre was awful to her. I understand that she's not an easy person but he was snappy, belittling and on edge. This nice guy image is a load of crap built by ITV. I think he uses the children as a further tool to berate Katie with.

Even if he was a loaded celeb and she'll enjoy a wealthy life? Sincere question.

PA asked Emily's Dad? Or Mum? If he could contact her I believe before dating her. Her father is a hospital consultant or something isn't he? Why did they agree? I always wondered.

I doubt Emily will be allowing their children to forgo exams, A-levels and a degree for a media career!

Just because he introduced them doesn't mean he was expecting him to DATE her!

I've arranged for my young adult DDs to meet with friends of friends for things like career advice, work experience & training for sports/ hobbies, not once was that an indication of my approval for them to try n fuck my kid!

It's not that odd a thing to do. We probably all do it in smaller ways (we might not have celeb friends that our kids want to meet, but we all pull favours for things like apprenticeships, summer jobs etc)

I have friends with kids who are well into adulthood, but kids of friends are still and always kids of friends, it doesn't matter if they turn legal! I have even put them up favours e.g. one was considering my local uni for clearing, another had a summer job nearer to me than home and stayed over if he had a late shift followed by an early shift.

Zero of these arrangements or meetings were the parents setting us up!

And I really don't think there's a whole lot of difference between that, and a celeb meet n greet if the kid is into a celeb you know

It's so weird that people take the fact that the dad introduced them, as him giving it a wink and a nod

I saw them, I think it was in the Daily Mail. Don’t think she was completely naked, wore pants. Still very inappropriate.

I seem to remember his face was inappropriately close to the plastic balloons. Grim. Or abuse given his ability to choose for himself.

Allseeingallknowing · 11/08/2025 14:16

SquishedMallow · 11/08/2025 12:54

I completely agree with you.

I think she poses seductively on purpose to appeal to all sorts of fetishist's. If you look at pictures of her with horses she does it too... You can see exactly what she's trying to allude to (for god knows what sickos) that's how low she'll stoop. Thinking people will get something out of her posing seductively with her big adult son and animals. There's no low she won't stoop to. Unfortunately for her (although she can't see it as she's a narcissist and thinks she really does have every man panting) she's not attractive and looks dreadful nowadays.

Also the common trope of "she used to be a naturally stunning/beautiful woman" KP was never "beautiful" : she was 'pleasant' looking in her youth.

Edited

Agree- mildly attractive at best. Her nose job was good- she should have stopped there.Junior and Princess resemble their father, especially the eyes.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say. You may think that KP was pleasant looking in her youth but that is just your opinion. Many people do think that she was stunning.

You never saw her complaining about being up in the night with the children because she never was. Harvey was looked after by his maternal grandmother before going into residential care and the other children had their fathers or nannies.
People believe the stories she gives to the tabloids who merely cut and paste ‘facts’ ad nauseum, so they sort of become the truth, iyswim. These are the people who say, ’yes, she’s troubled, but she’s a lovely mum to Harvey.’ Imagine if a man in his forties posted pictures of himself on social media, naked, nestled up in bed with his adult special needs daughter while she slept. There would be an absolute uproar, so why is it alright for Price to do it? The sight of her with her bare breasts pressed up against Harvey, trying to look sexy for the camera isn’t ’sweet’ or ‘showing a close bond’, it’s completely inappropriate.

The thing about Katie is that she comes across as honest, but I am never quite sure if I believe what she is saying .
An example of this is her claim that Peter Andre ended the marriage because she slept with her dressage instructor . She claims that she didn’t sleep with her instructor and that Peter Andre made a mistake
Her denial appeared convincing , but who knows if she was telling the truth .
I personally thjnk that Peter Andre comes across as a decent father but would be a crap partner / husband
I believe that both he and Katie were toxic individuals and he is very controlling
I think he deliberately dated a very young twenty year old in order to control her as he wasn’t able to control Katie
Also, I do have an issue with a man who was knocking forty turn up at a twenty year olds halls of residence .
I have a daughter around that age( who is also coincidentally at Bristol the same uni attended by Peter Andre’s wife ) and I would not be pleased if an almost middle aged man rocked up in his flash car to take her out

Even if he was a loaded celeb and she'll enjoy a wealthy life? Sincere question.

Absolutely!

I don't think we should be silenced into not questioning the legitimacy of her lies because it may offend real SA survivors. I think liars such as KP and under covering them is important to not detract from the actual survivors of SA. This woman does victims of these awful crimes an absolute disservice.

Her father was a surgeon who operated on PA. Surgeons daughter (Emily) fancied him and asked her father to introduce them. He did. They are now many years down the line.

He hardly rocked up at her residence now did he ? Let's not make out adult women are vulnerable children.

You may not "like it" if a 40yr old man asked your 20yr old adult daughter out. But there's not a thing you can do about it. She's well over the age of being able to consent and make competent decisions.

No wonder everyone on here thinks you can only have a child at 35+. They're busy infantilising their 20something kids.
