Katie Price launches blistering attack on ex husbands Peter Andre and Kieran Hayler over ‘lack of support’
KATIE Price has launched a blistering attack on her former husbands Peter Andre and Kieran Hayler.
The reality star has hit out over their ‘lack of support’ when it comes to her eldest son Harvey.
Katie, 43, spoke of her frustration in her new book Harvey and Me.
"Fair enough, Pete and Kieran weren't his biological dads, but Harvey called them both 'Daddy', and to him they were," she writes.
"I don't understand how you can be so full-on in a kid's life and then pretty much just not be involved any more."
Katie was married to singer Peter, 48, for four years before their split in 2009.
They share two children together, 16-year-old Junior and Princess, 14.
Peter has since remarried and has two more children - Theo, five, and Amelia, seven - with doctor Emily MacDonagh.

Katie married Kieran, 34, in 2013, before their split in 2017. They share Jett, eight, and Bunny, seven.
Kieran recently welcomed a baby son with his fiancee Michelle Penticost.
Katie went on in her soon to be released book: "For almost the first six years of Harvey's life, he thought Pete was his dad. He grew up with Junior and Princess and we were a proper family unit.
"After it all went tits up, Harvey just couldn't understand why Pete wasn't around any more. He's a very smart boy and he's obviously built that resentment against him.
"You can't just pick and choose when you want to see him. You either see all the kids together, or you don't. At one point, they were both even going to adopt him, but that never happened."
Nineteen-year-old Harvey, who has Prader-Willi Syndrome, autism and blindness, is Katie's child with former footballer Dwight Yorke.
"I may no longer be with Pete or Kieran, but I find it quite upsetting that they haven't shown more support for all the campaigns we've set up for Harvey over the past few years," added Katie.

"Whether you're in his life or not, you still know Harvey and what he's been through. It's not about me, it's about supporting Harvey and protecting Harvey.
"For me, it just goes to show what kind of people they are. They don't have to be a father figure in his life, but it's easy to just send a tweet to show your support or share a petition.
"I've seen them promoting other charities and I'm like, 'Hang on a minute. You lived and breathed what Harvey went through, so why is it so hard to show some support?'"
Reflecting on her exes, the former glamour model concluded: "But look, I don't want to keep slagging Pete and Kieran off. They'll always be in my life because we share beautiful children together.
"I can't fault either of them when it comes to the kids. They're both great dads. I just think it's a real shame that neither of them are involved in Harvey's life."
