Katie Price is allegedly at the centre of a new legal row with her exes Kieran Hayler and Alex Reid over her new tell-all documentary, new reports claim.
The former glamour model, 47, is lifting the lid on her personal life in the series, which will coincide with the 30-year anniversary of her entry into the limelight as one of The Sun’s page 3 girls.
The three-part show, likely to release next year, is set to delve into the details of her fleeting flings, serious relationships and time in the spotlight.
But Kieran, 38, and Alex, 50, are reportedly ‘teaming up’ and have consulted lawyers to block her from featuring them on the show and spilling the beans on their relationships.
A source told The Mirror: ‘They feel like they have been backed into a corner and have no choice.
‘They just want her to stop trashing them, and can’t believe she is being given a platform.’

Daily Mail has contacted Katie, Kieran and Alex’s representatives for comment.
Kieran, who shares Jett, 12, and Bunny, 11, with Katie, issued a public apology to his former stepdaughter Princess Andre last week after she admitted: ‘I wish I could have had a happier childhood.’
The personal trainer told the Daily Mail he has been saddened by the recent revelations from Princess, 18, who explained the toughest time in her life was when Katie’s marriage to Kieran broke down after he confessed to cheating with multiple women.
Speaking in her new ITV2 show The Princess Diaries, the influencer recalled watching her mother’s decline following her split from Kieran, saying Katie was ‘heartbroken’ and suffered ‘dark times’, which led to her battles with drug addiction, post-traumatic stress disorder, and attempted suicide.
Princess said: ‘He was in our lives for five years, so we got really close to him, obviously we loved him, he did a lot of stuff and when they split up everything went downhill. My mum was obviously heartbroken, she didn’t deal with that the best way, she went through a very, very dark time which was understandable.’
And now, Kieran has admitted he ‘regrets’ cheating on Katie with the TV star’s former best friend Jane Pountney and their ex-nanny Nikki Brown, saying it became impossible to shield Junior, 20, and Princess, whose father is singer Peter Andre, from the devastation that ensued.
Kieran said leaving the marital home where he lived with Junior and Princess for five years was ‘one of the hardest things I ever had to do’ and he’s deeply sorry to the children for failing to protect them.
He said: ‘It makes me feel so sad. I am as sorry as I can be to Princess witnessing us go through such a horrible separation. Leaving them was one of the hardest things I ever had to do.

‘I would love to apologise and really know how she felt during that time when mine and Kate’s marriage broke down.
‘It’s difficult isn’t it but I would like to reach out. I would love to support Princess and when I have time I will sit down and watch her show.
‘Whenever any marriage breaks down and one parent has to leave the house, it rocks those children’s worlds, it’s really sad. I went into my marriage wanting a happily ever after, no one goes into a marriage wanting it to break down and end but ultimately as much as it impacted the adults, it disrupted and affected the children.
‘When I left, it wasn’t that was it, end of, point blank, I always made sure I kept in touch.
‘It’s hard, when they’re your stepchildren, naturally that bond disappears over time, you have played a massive part in their life but Princess is 18 now, life moves on and you no longer play a role in their lives anymore.
‘But when I look back, I believe I was the best stepfather that I could have been to them. I was respectful to Pete, I hope that’s how they see me as well.’
Katie and Kieran were married from January 2013 to March 2021 when the couple’s divorce was finalised but their relationship only lasted five years.
Following her split from Peter, Katie married cagefighter Alex Reid in a whirlwind Las Vegas ceremony in 2010, but their union lasted less than a year.

Elsewhere, Katie and ex-husband Peter are currently locked in a bitter feud after he hit out at her ‘baseless lies over the last 16 years’ in a blistering statement on Thursday.
Katie responded to Peter‘s bombshell statement with a bizarre Instagram post about ‘fake Sinners who play the victim’ on Friday.
Rumours of a ‘rift’ between Katie and their daughter Princess have been growing in recent weeks after Katie didn’t attend Princess’ 18th birthday party, or appear on the nepo baby’s fly-on-the-wall ITV television series.
Katie later claimed that it was her daughter’s management who had told her not to appear on the show.
In a lengthy Instagram statement, Katie pleaded ‘I’m trying to be the best I can’ while noting ‘she hasn’t always been the best mother’.
She wrote: ‘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.’

Katie continued: ‘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. Then there are the “Saints”. Some are genuine and some have helped me.
‘But some Saints are not who they would have you believe they are. They have a carefully managed image which must be exhausting to maintain.
‘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.
‘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’
The Mysterious Girl singer and the former glamour model split in 2009 after four years of marriage, but have remained devoted parents to their children Junior and Princess.
For a time, Katie and Pete were the golden couple of reality TV, with a lavish wedding and a string of big-money deals making them one of the most talked-about pairs in Britain (pictured in 2004 on I’m A Celebrity)
Peter shared his side of the story on Thursday, explaining: ‘For sixteen years, I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silent has been incredibly frustrating. That ends today.
‘The latest comments about my children’s welfare and living arrangements compel me to set the record straight. For well-documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood.
‘In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement. I have never made this public before, out of respect for my children.’
‘In 2011 and 2015, publicly documented court cases found my ex-wife had made false claims. She was ordered to pay substantial damages and legal costs, and to apologise to me and my management. The same falsehoods are being repeated today.
‘Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations I have yet to address. Those will now be dealt with in the coming months.’
A spokesperson for Katie told Daily Mail: ‘Kate is in a much better and clear headspace and is at peace with the situation. 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 lawyers hands. Kate will no longer be gaslighted and bullied as she once was.’
The Real Husbands of Katie Price
In the decades since she first rose to fame, Katie Price has enjoyed – and quite likely endured – a decidedly busy love life that has seen her walk down the aisle three times before heading to divorce court in equal measure. Here’s a look at the trio with whom she exchanged ‘I dos’… and ‘I don’ts’:
PETER ANDRE (2005 – 2009)
The nation got to watch love blossom between the pair when they starred alongside one another on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here back in 2004. The flying sparks soon became nuptials, with blushing bride Katie and her erstwhile pop hunk beau tying the knot at Highclere Castle (the grand Berkshire estate of Downton Abbey fame) in September 2005. Katie, who was already mother to son Harvey (born in 2002 following a romance with former footballer Dwight Yorke), soon started a family with her new husband. The couple welcomed son Junior in 2005, while daughter Princess followed in 2007. Creation between the pair also came artistically, with the release of reality programmes, a failed talk show and a foray into the music world. However, after four years of securing their position as the Ken and Barbie of reality TV and glossy magazine deals, the pair announced in 2009 that they were going their separate ways.
ALEX REID (2010 – 2012)
Katie soon switched her romantic allegiance from a onetime ab-bearing pop heartthrob to musclebound MMA fighter Alex Reid. The two met at Michelle Heaton’s 30th birthday party at London’s Cafe de Paris. But shortly after they got together, Katie dumped Alex on live TV, only for him to win her back and the pair go from strength to strength. Weeks after proudly cheering her man on to a win on the 2010 edition of Celebrity Big Brother (also featuring none other than her ex-boyfriend Dane Bowers), Katie jetted off to Las Vegas to tie the knot with her new partner in February 2010 after just seven months of dating – and nine months after divorcing Peter. Following their Sin City sojourn, the pair returned to their native UK, where they had a formal ceremony – which was filmed for a TV series. However, after just 11 months of marriage, the pair announced they were splitting and their divorce was finalised in March 2012. While Katie declared at the time that she married Alex ‘too soon’, she would later go on to reveal that a major factor in their split was his cross-dressing alter-ego Roxanne.
KIERAN HAYLER (2013 – 2021)
Showing herself to be a true woman of the times, Katie embarked on a romance with former stripper Kieran after the two met on the now-defunct Blackberry Messenger service in 2012. And just two months after altering the paths of their lives via those thumb-tapped fateful opening messages, the twosome would go on to exchange nuptials in the Caribbean. Kieran proposed to a thrilled Katie on Christmas Day 2012, and just three weeks later, the pair would be pronounced husband and wife in the idyllic shores of the Bahamas on January 16, 2013. They had their marriage blessed in Weston-super Mare, and in the months that followed, it appeared that Katie had finally found her happily ever after. They welcomed son Jett in August 2013, and daughter Bunny in August 2014. But Katie’s world came crashing down in 2014, when she discovered that Kieran had cheated on her with her close friend of 20 years, Jane Pountney, and was enjoying a fling with another of her pals, Chrissy Thomas. After publicly lashing out at all parties involved (and naming her pet pigs after her friends-turned-foes), Katie appeared determined to make things work when she renewed her vows with Kieran in 2015. But alas, it would not turn out to be third time lucky for Katie, as the pair split in 2018 amid even more cheating allegations. Their ‘amicable’ divorce was finalised in early 2021.
