Peter Andre's furious Katie Price statement in full as he rejects olive branch offer

It doesn't look like former couple Peter Andre and Katie Price will be reminiscing over old times any time soon as their bitter feud reaches new heights.

This evening, just hours on from Katie offering her ex-husband an olive branch by proposing a ceasefire to their years-long back and forths, Peter issued a bombshell statement on social media making it quite clear he has no intention of sitting down to chat with his former spouse.

Katie had reached out to Peter via her podcast following the row over her daughter Princess Andre's new ITV documentary programme. The mum-of-five, 47, put forward the idea that she and Peter, 52, should have a face-to-face discussion following the 16-year-long dispute.

The two stars, who are parents to Junior and Princess Andre. Katie and Peter haven't communicated since their divorce, after their marriage collapsed in 2009.

Taking to his Instagram Stories tonight, Peter made it very clear he has no desire to catch up with his ex-wife as he shared a damning statement - making a number of new claims regarding the custody of the two children they share together.

Peter's statement in full reads: "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 silent has been incredibly frustrating. 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.

"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. Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations I have yet to address. Those will now be dealt with in the coming months."
