Katie Price’s ex Kieran Hayler takes a subtle swipe at her as he boasts about fiancee’s close bond with Bunny

KATIE Price's ex-husband Kieran Hayler has taken a subtle swipe at her as he gushed over his daughter's close bond with his fiancee.

The father-of-three, who shares Jett, seven, and Bunny, six, with the former glamour model, took to Instagram to reveal how Michelle Pentecost had been helping out with the kids.

Kieran, 35, reposted two stories posts made by his fiancee Michelle as she showed off Bunny's school work, gushing that she was "proud".

Revealing Bunny's art work and school books ahead of the summer holidays, Michelle captioned the snaps: "Bunny, so proud of all her school work this year, went through all 11 books with me."

The doting stepmum later revealed she was heading off to a school picnic for Jett and Bunny, packing a large bag of goodies.

The subtle swipe comes after Katie, 44, was reunited with her kids last week after three weeks away in Thailand with Carl Woods.

The mother-of-five had jetted off for some sunshine just hours after she avoided a prison sentence for breaking the terms of a restraining order by calling Michelle a "gutter s***".

But she returned to the UK this week and was forced to come face to face with Bunny and Jett’s dad.

A source told The Sun there was tension between Kieran and his ex as they both attended an event for the children.

“It was awful - Michelle was too worried to attend so Kieran went alone, and Katie had left Carl at home too," the insider revealed.

“Katie kept shooting Kieran furious looks while he just looked at his phone and kept staring forward. 

“They didn’t speak the whole time and didn’t interact once. I don’t know how they can possibly get along normally from now on. It’s so tense between them.”

Katie was handed a five-year restraining order against Michelle in 2019 for calling her a "f***ing c**t" and "fat" at the school gates in front of kids, parents and a teacher.

She breached it in January by texting Kieran, warning him: "Tell your c***ing whore piece of s**t girlfriend not to start on me."

But Katie astonishingly got off with community service last month, despite also being on a suspended sentence for her drink and drug-fuelled car crash.

She was handed an 18-month community order and must complete a total of 170 hours of community service and ordered to pay £1,500 in court costs.

Katie smirked as she walked free after Judge Stephen Mooney said the text did not warrant jail as it was an "indirect" breach of the order.

Meanwhile, Michelle broke down in tears as she opened up about the terrifying abuse Katie had directed at her in a four-year campaign. 

Revealing how she’d installed CCTV at their home and was scared to leave the house at night.

Michelle sobbed: “When I was about seven months pregnant she said she hoped the baby is either born dead or disabled."

She continued of Katie's sentencing: "You never want anyone to go to prison, but you do need to have consequences for your actions. What kind of example is it setting?

"The message this has sent out is, you can break a restraining order and get just a fine and community service.

"Especially to the youth - there's people who idolise her who'll think if she can get away with it, why can't I?

"I'm a strong woman, I have two children, so we have to hopefully put this behind us. But this is Katie Price we're talking about, so I'm not sure this will stop.

"I'd like to say she wouldn't do anything because she's just been to court - but she's very unpredictable, so I'm not quite sure what she'd do."
