Kieran has now posted on his Instagram just hours after the drama.

He appeared to take a thinly-veiled dig at Katie, who he shares two kids with, by sharing an information poster about "parental alienation" - claiming it is "child abuse".

The post explained parental alienation is a form of "physical abuse" whereby one parent removes the other from their child's life "by way of coaching and convincing" them to reject their parent.

It continues: "In most cases, a previously healthy loving relationship between the child and their parent and/or family is destroyed, leading to severe emotional and psychological damage to the child".

The poster then lists "primary strategies" of the alleged abuser - including limiting contact with the "targeted parent" and making "false allegations" against them.

Kieran also shared a second, happier post this morning of his kitchen table teaming with Easter goodies.

And he shared an image uploaded by fiancée Michelle Penticost of the chocolate eggs.

It comes after Katie shared her own social media post this morning as she had a dig at her ex.

She shared a quote that read: "A person's true colours will always show within time.

"You may be fooled for the moment, but be patient and see what happens."

Police were scrambled to the personal trainer's Northchapel home on Good Friday.

One resident told The Sun: “It was very dramatic, a police van and car suddenly turned up on the driveway of their home.

"We later heard it involved a gun which was quite frightening.”

Sussex Police confirmed Kieran was quizzed on suspicion of possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence and child neglect.

A statement added: ""He has been taken into custody for questioning. We will not be commenting further."

Katie and Kieran wed in January 2013 and share two children, Bunny, 5, and six-year-old Jett.

They split in early 2018 following numerous allegations of cheating.

Kieran is now engaged to Michelle and they share a baby son called Apollo.

His rep told The Sun her client is “assisting police with their enquiries”.
