Katie Price has said "everything is back to normal" with her two youngest children, after claiming she had "limited access" to Jett, nine, and Bunny, eight, for seven months.
In her new documentary, Katie Price : Trauma and Me, the former glamour model, 44, shares her heartache claiming she wasn't able to see them as much as she wanted because her relationship with ex-husband Kieran Hayler had broken down.
“The hardest thing I’ve had to deal with in the recent months is having limited access to some of my kids,” she says in the show.
“Recent events have meant I’m seeing my youngest children less and the relationship between me and their father has broken down.”
Katie adds: “It’s not good for my mental health and it’s certainly not good for their mental health. They should be having their mum in their life. At the moment I’m stuck in this rut with Jett and Bunny and it is frustrating for me.
“You know, seven months, how has it even got to this? It’s heart-breaking and I just wish it wasn’t like this. All I can do is hope that this won’t be forever.”
Kieran hit back at claims, with his representative saying: "This is categorically untrue."
In a chat ahead of the documentary airing and several months after filming stopped, Katie gave an update on where things stand today.
She said: "I'm seeing a therapist every two weeks. Everything is back to normal with my kids.
"I've just been on holiday to Spain with all my kids."
Mother-of-five Katie says her world revolves around her children and her love towards them is so strong, she has vowed to never put herself in a dark place again.
She said: "I want my children to know mental health is an illness, it's not like any other illness and you can't see it.
"I said to the children being in The Priory when you are sitting round in a circle you hear some people's stories and you think 'are you only in the Priory for that, that's a breeze'.
"If you have lived with what has happened to me, you won't be able to cope. So it doesn't matter how big or small a problem is, it's just different.
"Hopefully my kids won't suffer mental health issues but you can never say they won't."
In a statement, Kieran's representatives told The Sun : “Kieran's focus remains on the children's best interest and in maintaining the children's best interests and safety at all times.
“Miss Price's version of events are never accurately portrayed. It is a shame the producers of the program did not feel it appropriate to balance the claims by interviewing the fathers who have first-hand kept the children in a loving, caring and stable environment.”
