Katie Price’s kids warn they’ll cut her out of their lives if she takes cocaine again
KATIE Price’s children have warned her they’ll cut her out of their lives if she takes cocaine again.
The mum-of-five , 42, has vowed to have regular drugs tests if anyone challenges her to prove she’s clean after spending five weeks in The Priory last October.
The troubled star’s life spiralled out of control as she was hit with an avalanche of personal problems at the time and she turned to drink and drugs.
She has since told her children everything she was going through and why she was using class A drug cocaine – and in turn they have given her an ultimatum.
Katie is mum to Junior, 15, and Princess, 13, who she shares with Peter Andre, as well as Jett, 7, and Bunny, 6, with ex husband Kieran Hayler and Harvey, 18, with Dwight Yorke.
Explaining why she made the heart wrenching decision to be so honest, Katie says: "My kids thought I had lost the plot and was partying.
"They didn’t realise it was me breaking down trying to block things out - they needed to know the truth.
"All the kids say that I am so much better now. But they say, ‘mum if you ever get back to how you were, we are never going to speak to you again’.
"I tell them they never have to worry because I wouldn’t go back there.”
The star continued: “They are so strong and I love that because it makes me think that I wouldn’t hurt them.
“Junior didn't understand at the time but he looks back and says he feels bad because he realises more about mental health and what I was going through. He says he wishes he could have spoken up.
"I think in the past year and a half mental health has been spoken about much more.
"I am now able to tell them that the reason that I did coke was to block things out. I've explained to him it wasn’t because I wanted to do it.
“I just couldn’t see any light at the end of the tunnel and now he understands it. It’s just a build up of stuff.”
Confirming she is now clean and off drugs, she says: ";I haven’t drank and I definitely wouldn’t do the coke again.
"I will do drug tests again so nobody can ever accuse me of anything again too.”
Katie has a lot to deal with in her life and she has said how she struggled to deal with it.
Her beloved mum Amy is terminally ill with a lung disease, disabled son Harvey, 18, has been battling health problems and been rushed to hospital several times this year, she found herself in a bitter court battle with cheating third husband Kieran Hayler and was declared bankrupt despite amassing a £45m fortune.
As well as suffering from mental health problems Katie also broke both her ankles in July after jumping off a wall in Turkey.
Her out of control partying and behaviour got more and more erratic - until she finally checked herself into The Priory in October begging staff, "Don't let me kill myself."
“Everyone has a breaking point and I did,” she recalls.
