Katie Price’s pet chameleon Marvin is dead – and she’s blaming Peter Andre!
KATIE Price's son's pet chameleon Marvin has died - and she's blamed her ex Peter Andre.
The former glamour model is claiming that the reptile died of a broken heart after her children Junior, 13, and his 11-year-old sister Princess moved in with Peter over the summer.
Marvin the chameleon - which belongs to Katie's son Junior - dropped dead this week, with Katie telling friends it's Pete's fault.
But a source told The Sun Online that her cold mucky mansion may be to blame after recent money worries meant Katie has been unable to heat her home ahead of her bankruptcy court hearing.
An insider told us: "Junior's chameleon Marvin has died and Katie is blaming Peter.
"Marvin didn't go with Junior when he moved in with his dad over the summer - and now Katie thinks that the reptile has died of a broken heart.
"However, with all of her money troubles Katie has been unable to heat her mansion, and chameleons needs to be warm at all times."
The insider went on to reveal that the mother-of-five didn't actually want her children's pets going with them to their dad's house because she believed they would visit her more if the animals remained in her £2million Sussex home.
They continued: "Katie is blaming Peter for Marvin's death as she claims that he wouldn't take Junior and Princess' pets when they moved in with him.
"But Katie didn't want him to take them as she thought the children would visit her more if the pets stayed with her.
"The whole family has been left devastated by Marvin's death, but especially Junior - he is heartbroken."
A source close to Pete told us that the singer hasn't even been told that the chameleon has died.
They added: "He was never asked to look after it. It's outrageous that she's blaming him."
Katie met Peter during the 2004 series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, with the pair marrying the following year.
However, they divorced in 2009 - with Katie previously admitting it pained her when their shared children stayed at his as part of their custody arrangement.
As well as Junior and Princess moving in with Peter this year, Katie's two youngest children have also moved out of her family home.
Jett, five, and four-year-old Bunny are thought to be living full time with their dad, Kieran Hayler - with Katie recently being pictured hugging Kieran after he agreed that she could see the youngsters on Christmas Day.
Katie's 16-year-old son Harvey is her only child to remain with her in her Sussex mansion - which has previously hit the headlines for the bad condition that it is in.
The star shocked fans last year when her home featured on Keith Lemon's Through The Keyhole, with viewers spotting piles of rubbish, a scum-encrusted swimming pool, and horse poo all over her front drive.

Host Keith even compared her pool to a "swamp" at the time, with moss growing over the star's unused tennis court.
The mother of five defended her home at the time - claiming that the family home was due to be renovated in two weeks but ITV producers refused to push back filming.
However, in July of this year fans were left equally disgusted when they got another insight into her home in her new reality show.
The reality star, who was once worth an estimated £45million, bought the house for £1.3million in 2014 and it is thought to be worth £1.6million - despite its current state.
