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

I’ve had a quick google and can’t find anything to say she doesn’t have custody of her kids. Maybe you could link to your source?

There is no published source for this. Do you think the newspapers are allowed to publish stories about identifiable minors being taken into local authority care?

it’s been rumour for ages, obviously a large number of people have direct knowledge of the situation and don’t necessarily keep quiet.

I think it’s more likely than not tbh. She’s obviously had a lot of SS involvement

Genuine question for anyone who knows - I thought anyone who has had a ‘no expense spared’ type education would end up academic purely because the schools would not allow someone to fail GCSEs and it reflect badly on the schools? I get it for things like severe dyslexia etc but how would a private school allow someone to fail?

Because if you've got a lower IQ it is usually extremely difficult to just retain all the information needed, let alone analyse, evaluate or compare information in the way you need to get good grades for 5 or more GCSEs. There's no tutoring or great teaching / resources which can get over this. One of the reasons most private schools have much better results is because many of them are selective.

She's not academic. She opened her exam results on camera (TikTok?). She was (is?) enrolled at Beauty College but now appears to be going down the TV fame route.

It didn't happen. If you keep poking and poking and poking a bear (which my god she did ) the bear will start to growl.

He wanted a stable married with kids life. KP doesn't know how to have a stable married life with kids. She craves adoration and attention and constant stimulation. Marriage is boring for her. Kids are merely props. And all thus utter crap about "she's a great mum to Harvey" - she's really not. If you watch closely she is near on constantly mocking him/making him performing/taking the piss out of his low IQ for her own fun in an under the radar way.

A lot of women on here are really gullible and into arm chair psychology and believe she just must be a victim) traumatised (and KP will happily lead you to believe it ).

She's just a narcissist behaving like a narcissist.

You are bang on about her interactions with Harvey. I've never been able to put my finger on it, but I always feel slightly uncomfortable with the way she is around him.
She comes across as an absolute car crash, but I do wonder how much of a grasp she has on reality.

You mean those famously sane, rational, all round good guys l, Fathers 4 Justice? Oh it must be true, then.

Oh FFS. That's the last time I engage with you.i said it fucking mentions it. mentions. not that they fucking took the kids or published the story ! What are you looking for exactly? Me to give you instructions (that I don't have ) on illegally accessing information?

Choose to believe it. Choose not to believe. I really couldn't care less. But her children are NOT within her care.

I'm assuming dark web etc. I personally wouldn't know the first thing (or want to) about it.

Dad's 4 justice mentions bits of it on one of their web pages.

I find the phrase “pimping their kids out” really unpleasant.

SquishedMallow · 10/08/2025 21:24

Spookyspaghetti · 10/08/2025 21:20

So if it can’t be published than where are you getting the information from? Genuinely interested to know.

There is a really long list of her crimes and misdemeanours on her wiki but nothing about her kids being taken into care.

Ps it's not allowed to be published. They're protected under law. They're minors and the case went through social services and family courts. That's not publicly legally viewable information. And rightly so. They're minors.

Spookyspaghetti · 10/08/2025 21:21

SquishedMallow · 10/08/2025 21:20

I am no internet geek. But the Information is out there and people have viewed it. But it's not legally accessible. I personally myself wouldn't know how to access it but there are people who do and have.

Ok so you are saying that people who work in the family courts have leaked this information into the public domain but it can’t legally be talked about.

Spookyspaghetti · 10/08/2025 21:20

SquishedMallow · 10/08/2025 21:09

She does NOT have custody of her two youngest children. That's a fact.

It's not allowed to be published as it was all under the family courts and social services.

But if you choose not to believe it , that's up to you.

Ps to all those saying the older two seem well turned out. Yes they do : because A.) they went to private school. That's going to have a magnitudous impact. Their fellow students will be mostly from very educated and affluent families.

  1. their father is stable. Their step mother is a doctor (therefore well educated and principled)

I doubt any of their positive characteristics can be in any way attributed to KP. She knows it too.

Having her youngest children put into care doesn't seem to affected how she conducts her life in any way at all. Those poor little children, they deserved so much better.

I remember a video of KP tottering about (?under the influence of something) parading tutu's and bras whilst Bunny sat on the floor sobbing into her hands looking lonely and distressed.

Florally · 10/08/2025 21:15

I seem to remember Peter being quite awful to her when they were in LA but not really details and it’s been years since I’ve seen it.

What’s it on?

RIPMTV · 10/08/2025 21:14

I can sort of see it from both sides.

The kids have had years of their mother’s antics - drugs, car/crash relationships, pursuing fame at any cost etc, It’s natural they might want to distance themselves from her as they become young adults, both emotionally and to protect their own reputations/careers. And Peter and his wife do seem a bit more stable and chill, so it’s natural the kids might want to spend more time with them and frankly, be less enbarrrassed of them than their mother,

On the other hand, Pete is a smug git and is still managed by the horrific, money-grabbing Carby Claire who he is clearly now pimping his kids out with. Whats the bet he’s taking a percentage of their earnings? He’s not the angel he makes himself out to be. I can understand why Katie - as bonkers as she is - would be enraged by his butter wouldn’t melt act.

Mostly, though, I think it’s a shame both parents haven’t used the wealth and influence they have had over the years to give their children a better future than some desperate reality TV grift.

NotAMessiahJustAVeryNaughtyBoy · 10/08/2025 21:12

I honestly think the saddest part about this story is that both KP and PA know how difficult it can be living as a celebrity and the constant scrutiny that comes with it and still both of them not only foisted their joint kids into the limelight since birth but don’t appear to have wanted a more carefree life going forward for them (Princess and Junior?). They’re both so desperate to remain relevant they’re probably more than happy their daughter has her own reality show and will no doubt have to put up with all sorts of utter shit from both the press and garden variety creeps sending creepy DMs.

100% agree also.

She was often bored and understimulated (the whole marriage/kids normality I reckon ) she only gets married to do the whole "dress up" game. (She actually admitted that once in so many words ) Anyway I digress....

So when she's bored and not getting the constant attention she craves she starts winding up Pete and getting nasty, and would wind him up and goad him until he turned on her (which is exactly what she wanted) any attention is good attention.

I think she started getting like that once the kids came along. Because they took his attention off of her and she still wanted him wagging his tail and panting looking up at her "beauty". Classic narcissist.

Exactly. She used to say stuff like that he had a small penis. He was pretty restrained. She was very verbally abusive and would try to wind him up. I can’t believe people are saying he’s the bad guy. Thank fuck the oldest kids have one good parent and a step parent.

She's been on tv since she was a baby she's tol well known to get an ordinary job ,I have no idea if she is academic so university may or may not becout of the question so yes I imagine she will go down the z list celebrity route like a lot of " celebrities " kids

Why not? If she wants to do it she should. She has the potential to make a lot of money but comes across as a typical 18 year old. She actually seems lovely.

She's a drug addict and has an addiction to surgery. She doesn't have custody of any of her children, Harvey has been shunted off to live with 24/7 carers and she can't even keep her pets alive. She's a disgrace of a human being and a mother. Peter Andre is a decent man who has had a much more successful second marriage with a well educated and intelligent woman. My money is on KP being the issue here....

100% this! She was constantly winding him up or putting him down. In a way of ‘jokey banter’ to soften the mean comments. Do not get your info from 20 second clips of a whole series - I watched all of them, and she was definitely worse, he really loved her at the time

BellissimoGecko · 10/08/2025 21:04

FFS, what do either of the kids have to offer? Why do they think they can/should be famous?

The best thing they could do is to get a job and actually work hard at something. They both sound entitled - and with very little reason indeed.

People pity them, not envy then.

You need to watch them again, he is vile to her. Really vile.

I can’t stand KP but would have to agree on this.
@susiedaisy1912 when did u watch them? Only asking as I watched them when originally aired and I thought she was horrid to him, really mean and rude. A few years ago I watched a few clips and honestly couldn’t believe that I felt she was the one in the wrong. In all honesty they both were but as an adult I certainly viewed Peter very differently. I do believe they were just toxic for one another.

The clips are misleading. In the full programme KP is offensive and goading. She is in a bad mood and he tries to get her out of it but ends up getting into a bad mood himself. He comes across as having had some kind of mental breakdown and she seems to know his weak spots and twists the knife in bringing him to the brink of breakdown. She is not ok.
