Katie Price’s mother has labelled her daughter’s ex-husband Peter Andre “manipulative” claiming he left her in tears at home as she struggled with her mental health.
In her new book, The Last Word, Amy Price revealed that she warned her daughter off Mysterious Girl singer Peter before they both appeared on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2004.
Despite her warning, 71-year-old Amy said Katie, 45, ignored her and the pair endured a five-year relationship that was plagued with “jealousy”.

Amy also claimed Peter manipulated rows on their reality TV show which made Katie appear in a bad light.

In her book, Amy said: “Her marriage to this man left her at her lowest ebb and set the scene for further toxic betrothals.
“He wanted to be rich and famous, and my daughter unwittingly became part of the plan.
“My daughter is no angel, but she became a sacrificial lamb in a celebrity slaughter the moment she paired up with Peter Andre.”
The former glamour model’s mother said she watched her daughter crumble from the sidelines and said now she is battling a terminal illness of her own, she feels it is time to speak up.

Amy went on to describe her daughter’s relationship with Peter as a “management marriage” with their manager which became “so intrusively mixed up in their private life”.
She also claims the mother of five was “bullied” throughout the relationship and although Peter never physically harmed Katie, he would often “passive-aggressive mood swings”.
Katie and Peter parted ways for good in 2009 after rumours emerged that Katie was having an affair with riding instructor Andrew Gould which she denied.
In her 2008 book Jordan: Pushed To The Limit, Katie insinuated that Peter- who she shares two children with- drove her to drugs.

“I’m not saying that I blame Pete for the night I ended up taking drugs during my lowest suffering from the postnatal depression, that’s my responsibility alone,” she wrote in her autobiography.
“But a small part of me feels that Pete drove me to that point because he’s so against me having a drink and having any kind of relapse.”
She added at the time: “The fact is that the few times in our marriage that I’ve got drunk we’ve nearly split up over it.”
Amy Price’s The Last Word is released on July 6.
