Katie Price claims ex-husband Peter Andre was 'jealous' of her ahead of their 2009 split

Katie Price has sensationally claimed that her ex-husband Peter Andre was "jealous" of her success, despite their divorce being finalised over a decade ago.

The former glamour model, 46, who shares two children with the 'Mysterious Girl' hitmaker, opened up about how she's been portrayed negatively in the media compared to Peter, and disclosed that they now only communicate through a third party.

The pair famously fell for each other on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! back in 2004 but ended their relationship five years later.

At the time of their high-profile breakup, Katie, who is now an Only Fans star, faced allegations of infidelity, which she has consistently refuted.

Speaking candidly on The Louis Theroux Podcast, she reflected on their initial meeting: "I was already established. He'd met me and it was his lucky day. So we always had separate contracts. There's no way I'm splitting half and half, no thanks."

Regarding their current communication, Katie revealed: "Don't speak to him."

When pressed by Louis for a reason, she elaborated: "Just don't. It's all through legals. He was quite jealous of me working.", reports the Mirror.

Despite the narrative that has often cast her as the villain of their split, Katie insists that their children, Junior and Princess, know the real story.

She recently opened up to the Daily Mail, saying: "They know the truth, and that's the thing. They know that their dad is never written about in a bad way."

She continued: "They know I'm always written about in a bad way. Their dad's always the good, I'm always the bad, but they know the truth about everything."

When questioned whether she believes Peter's inner circle sees her as the villain, she remarked: "I don't think they really care what happens to me if I'm honest."

Katie's latest facelift, following her trip to Turkey, has sparked comments on her drastically changed appearance. Even airport passport machines have trouble recognising her now.

On the I'm ADHD! No You're Not podcast, she confessed: "I don't know what I look like, even the passport machine don't recognise me at the minute. If I look, do you know what, when they put the passport it was done so many years ago."

She elaborated: "I've had about two facelift things since then and I don't even look like it. And so now, travelling to Turkey, you've got all these machines now that you have to and I'm terrible with technology. But I'm the one pushing the buttons but I blame the machine it's not doing what I want it to."

Express Online has approached Peter's representatives for comment.
