Peter Andre and family step out to charity ball as ex Katie Price quits social media

It's a case of contrasting times for Peter Andre and his ex-wife Katie Price at the moment.

While Mysterious Girl star Peter socialised with wife Emily, 32, and children Junior, 17, and Princess, 15 at the star-studded Caudwell Children's Charity Butterfly Ball on Thursday night, former spouse Katie revealed the shock news that she is stepping back from all social media activity.

Pete and family glammed up for the annual fundraiser alongside several famous names including former Liberty X star Michelle Heaton, TV personality Christine McGuiness and Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger.

"The kids are starting to attend these events. This is an important one. Ones that are about helping other people, these are unsung heroes," he told the Mirror.

Katie, meanwhile, is currently in Thailand where she is rumoured to be marrying for a fourth time - to fiancé Carl Woods.

After recently revealing he'd performed a U-turn on his decision to ban daughter Princess from having boyfriend on Emily's advice, Peter said he'd be happy for his kids to follow in his footsteps and appear on ITV's I'm A Celebrity.

"Would I let the kids go on I'm A Celeb?" he pondered.

"Yes, I think that's a good show to go on. It's a challenge. It's fight for your food. It's a survival programme. I like that for them."

He went on to reveal his desire to be involved in the show, in which he famously met Katie in 2004.

"I'd love to co-present I'm A Celeb if it returned, the spin off show maybe," he explained.

"I've done it twice how many more times can you do it? But it's a great show and I reckon Ant and Dec should be the contestants and I should present. If they're gonna do an all-stars, let's do it."

Former glamour model Katie, meanwhile, released a short statement on Instagram on Thursday revealing she was stepping back from social media.

It read: "I will be coming off all social media for a period of time.

"I need to take time off for personal reasons.

"Thank you to all my loyal fans for always supporting me XXX."

The mum-of-five disappointed fans last weekend after it was revealed her forthcoming makeup masterclass had been cancelled.

Venue The Tanning Beauty Lounge Saltash explained to its Facebook followers: "We have received notice that the Katie Price MakeUp event scheduled for Sunday 10th July has been postponed.

"As we are only the location where the event is being held, this is completely out of our control. We are unable to confirm when the new date will be, we are waiting on word for the event organisers."

The Mirror has approached representatives for Katie for comment regarding the venue's update.
