After years of taking swipes at Emily and Peter Andre over their uneasy co-parenting arrangement, the situation between Katie Price and her ex kicked off yet again this week.
Katie, 47, lashed out at Pete and his management for allegedly not allowing her to go to her daughter Princess' 18th party.
Speaking to her sister, Sophie, on their podcast, The Katie Price Show, she claimed she wasn't invited because the party was being filmed for her daughter's new reality show.
Emily has broken her silence after the glamour icon's rant in a candid chat with Giovanna Fletcher. Speaking on the Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast, Emily says she knows she's not Princess and Junior's mum, so instead tries to be "more like a big sister".
She said "I always feel like, you know, I'm not their mum, and that's something I always have to make sure I tread carefully with. I always see it, I think I would see it a bit more like being a big sister."
Indeed, it has long been a sensitive subject for Katie, who once called Emily's parenting tactics "cringe" in a since-deleted Instagram post after the NHS doctor opened up on her life with stepchildren.
Emily, 35, admitted that juggling parenting while working as a doctor was "challenging" in a 2022 interview with New Magazine. It came just weeks after Katie ranted about Emily on Instagram stories."My mouth has been shut for so long but I've had enough of people selling stories on me and particularly this so called woman @dr_emily_official," Katie began. "Always said I don't want to be famous yet doesn't do too bad to stay away from media and TV and now trying to make a career out of it.
"So cringe she has used my children to make money in photo shoots yet covers her own children's faces up!"
Emily shares daughter Amelia, 11, and son Theo, eight, with Peter. Katie also posted a cover of a magazine featuring Emily on her Instagram Stories at the time.
Katie concluded: "Emily you are not and never will be my kids' parent so mind your own business."
