It doesn't look like former couple Peter Andre and Katie Pricewill 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 itquite 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. Peter went on to marry Emily Andre and welcome two more children into the world.

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."

In the latest episode of The Katie Price Show podcast released today, Katie proposed a truce in the wake of the controversy surrounding their daughter Princess' ITV documentary series.

Tensions seemed to escalate recently when Katie expressed her disappointment on her podcast about not being included in the filming of The Princess Diaries, as the 18 year old's career soars.

Just last week, Katie revealed she was "very very upset" claiming she had been excluded from her daughter's latest career achievements and insisted she had begged to participate in the TV series but was denied.

Following the backlash from her remarks, where she faced allegations of jealousy and attention-seeking, the former Page 3 star has once again spoken out, asserting she only wants to be there to support her teenage daughter.

Speaking on her podcast today, Katie proposed a face-to-face discussion with Peter and her former management The CAN Group, stating: "I feel like I've missed out on so much and it's so not fair to bring Princess as piggy in the middle so I think it's about time all of us adults just sit down and talk about what their beef is with me and just get over it. Life would be such more at peace."

She also expressed wishes for herself and Peter to back their children together. Katie proposed: "There's no reason why both parents can't be there to support her."

Katie went on to add: "I have to clarify this; I don't care that I'm not in Princess' show I don't need to raise my profile by being in Princess' show I do enough stuff. I'm in the press every day. All what I want to do is just whatever my daughter does – and it's the same with Junior – I don't care if I'm in the background, but I wanna watch her photoshoots, I wanna watch her do her signings – because that's what I did and my mum and you [sister Sophie Price] and nan used to come along and support and I'm proud of her and I just wanna be there with her."

"I'm not saying I have to stand with them and play happy families. I've missed out so much with Princess. I haven't watched the show but people have told me how proud I should be of the kids and how they, Princess, does talk highly of me all the way through it. So although I'm not in the show she speaks about me all the time which is really sweet."
