Katie Price has opened up about her relationship with her father as she admits they don’t see each other often.
The mum-of-five spoke, 46, candidly about her family life on her YouTube channel in a episode of the Katie Price show, which was filmed at Christmas.
Sitting next to her stepdad, Paul Price, on the sofa sporting a bright red Christmas jumper and festive antlers, Katie revealed she calls Paul ‘dad’ as she explained her family dynamic.
Introducing her stepdad, who is married to Katie’s mum, Amy, the star said: “I call him Paul, but he’s my dad. He’s been with me since I was three years old.”
Opening up about her real dad, she continued: “I have got my real dad, who I call ‘dad’, but I only see him not that often, only because of life…There’s no problem, we all meet and we all have a laugh, but this is Price. This is where I get my surname from. Price is from Paul Price.”
Katie had a tough year in 2024, dealing with bankruptcy, selling her Mucky Mansion as well as looking after her beloved son, Harvey, who is partially blind and autistic and has Prader Willi syndrome.
The glamour icon speaks to her son, 22, on her YouTube show and admits Harvey has been crying because he misses his mum so much. Comforting him on a FaceTime call along with stepdad, Paul, Katie promises that she, ‘nanny and grandad’ will visit him and put up his Christmas tree while also asking Barney the Dinosaur to make a surprise appearance.
When asked by her show producers how she feels about seeing Harvey so sad, Katie admits it’s “upsetting” as she points out most 22-year-olds would have their “own lives”, but for Harvey, Katie is everything.
On Monday, the Brightonian was in the spotlight again after a hearing took place remotely in relation to her bankruptcy, with the former glamour model facing a tax debt worth more than £750,000.
The mum-of-five, who recently appeared in panto alongside Atomic Kitten star Kerry Katona, was declared bankrupt for the second time in March after not responding to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) over the debt, a court was told.
A court was told the bill “derives from self-assessments” for the years 2020-2021 and 2021-22 and includes income tax, VAT, surcharges and interest.
Following the bombshell blow, Katie sold her Mucky Mansion in Sussex and downsized to another pad worth a cool £1.2 million, which was described on Rightmove as a “large detached family home with a south-facing plot backing onto countryside on the town’s eastern edge with views of the South Downs”.
