Katie Price's sister Sophie has reportedly refused to lift the ban on Carl Woods attending her wedding, which is said to be taking place on Wednesday.
Model Katie's younger sister Sophie, 32, is said to have removed 33-year-old Carl from the guest list amid his on-again-off-again romance with Katie, 44.
Sophie's husband-to-be Harry Brooks, who she shares son Albert with, is also said to have ongoing issues with Carl.
Carl was charged in February with using abusive and threatening behaviour against Katie following an incident at a house in Essex in August 2021.
He later denied the charge and had been due to appear for a summary trial at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court.
But, last week the charges were dropped as the Crown Prosecution Service said there was "no realistic prospect of conviction and the case was stopped", a decision which he is said to be "relieved" by.
After the charges were dropped, Katie had reportedly hoped her sister would make a U-turn on her decision to not allow Carl to her big day. But, Sophie is said to have stuck to her guns.
A source told The Sun: "Katie really hoped Carl would be able to come to the wedding and Sophie would change her mind but the guest list is already finalised and she respects her sister’s wishes.
"She doesn’t want anything distracting from Sophie’s big day and she knows it’s not about her or Carl.
"Katie will be there with a big smile on her face to celebrate her sister, but of course it makes her sad to not have Carl by her side."
Meanwhile, Carl is said to be "disappointed" by the decision "for Katie's sake" but "understands" the decision Sophie and Harry made.
The insider added how Katie's fiance "wishes Sophie and Harry all the best for their big day".
Mirror have contacted Katie's representatives for comment.
Days before Sophie's nuptials, Katie threw her sister an incredible hen party celebration over the weekend.
Mum-of-five Katie pulled out all the stops for the hen, as she hired a luxury secluded cabin complete with neon signs, balloons and a hot tub.
The sisters' mum Amy and Katie's daughter Princess were also at the fun filled event, which also included a spot of karaoke and drinks with penis straws in.
As the day wound down, mum-of-one Sophie shared a series of snaps to show highlights from her hen and gushed over her sister in the caption.
Sophie wrote: "What a day! Thank you to everyone who made my hen do so special I absolutely loved it, and I had an amazing time with you all (you know who you are)!
"I want to say a MASSIVE thank you to my sister @katieprice who organised the whole day! Thank you sooo much you absolutely smashed it and I'm so grateful, I love you loads," Sophie penned alongside a red heart emoji.
Struggling to contain her excitement over walking down the aisle, Sophie ended the caption with: "Counting down the days now
"P.S. I wish I got more pics but I was enjoying the day to much and I kept losing my phone".
