Katie claimed to have found "intimate emails" between Nikki and Kieran which proved they'd had an affair.
But Nikki has insisted those emails were actually about money she is owed.
Nikki said: "I did not sleep with Kieran. It's all lies,"
"Katie owed me thousands and thousands of pounds.
"She's read some emails and assumed we're having an affair.
"There's nothing intimate or sexual in them and I know because I sent them.
"Katie wanted a divorce, she wants an excuse to get out and blame someone else."
Why is Nikki Brown taking Katie Price to an employment tribunal?

Was Katie Price and Kieran Hayler's split amicable?
The former glamour model exclusively told The Sun she wants the break-up to be as smooth as possible for the sake of her family.
She said: “I don’t want all this hatred and I want us to maintain a civil relationship for the sake of the kids.
"That’s why he is in a separate room at the house. The plan is that he will move out gradually.”
Speaking on Loose Women about the shock split, Katie said: "It is what it is, and what you've read. Years ago I caught Kieran cheating. I paid therapy to get him help. As far as I knew our marriage and sex life was perfect, our family unit was perfect."
