PETER Andre has hit out at his ex wife Katie Price and slammed her 'lies' in a shocking social media post.
Taking to instagram, Peter spoke out just hours after Katie said she had made contact with him after their fallout over daughter Princess.
Peter wrote: "For sixteen years I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silence has been incredibly frustrating."
He continued: "That ends today."
"The latest comments about my children's welfare and living arrangements compel me to set the record straight.
"For well-documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood.
"In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement. I have never made this public before out of respect for my children."
Pete went on: "In 2011 and 2015, publicly documented court cases found my ex wife had made false claims. She was ordered to pay substantial damages and legal costs, and to apologise, to me and my management.
"The same falsehoods are being repeated today."
He concluded: "Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations that I have yet to address. Those will be dealt with in the coming months."
It comes just hours after Katie spoke about reaching out to Pete in her latest podcast.
Katie has made her feelings clear on her show over recent months that she was annoyed she was 'banned' from appearing in Princess's ITV 2 reality show.
And today, she has insisted that she's a "bloody good mum" to her five children and wants to sit down with Pete to discuss their issues once and for all.
The OnlyFans star said : "There's no reason why both parents just can't be there to support her. Now this isn't about me. I have to clarify this.
"I don't care that I'm not in Princess's show.
"I don't need to raise my profile by being on Princess's show, I do enough stuff.
"All what I want to do, is just whatever my daughter does, and it's the same with Junior, I don't care if I'm in the background, but I want to watch her do her photo shoots, I wanna watch her do her signings, because that's what I did.
"And my mum and you and Nan used to come along and support, and I'm proud of her.
"And I just wanna be there with her because I now I feel that I've missed out on so much."
"Life would be more at peace because I don't have a problem.
"I just think life would be a better place.
"Well, I'm not saying we all have to be best buddies, best friends, but come on.
"For the sake of the children, there's room for everyone to support your kids.
"Do you know what I mean? I'm not saying I have to stand with them and play happy families."
