Katie Price's mum slams her daughter's ex-husband Peter Andre in new book and claims he 'used her to become rich and famous'
Katie Price's mum Amy has claimed that her daughter's ex-husband Peter Andre 'manipulated' her daughter to become rich and famous and then 'left her at her lowest ebb'.
In her new book, Amy, 71, reveals that she warned the former glamour model not to get involved with the singer before the pair both took part on ITV's I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2004.
Amy writes that Katie, now 45, ignored her advise at the time and the pair went on to have a five-year relationship during which she claims the Mysterious Girl star 'manipulated rows' on their reality show to make Katie look bad.
Amy, who has spent five years battling a terminal illness, penned: 'I've lived on the sidelines for years, forced to sit back as lie after lie has been printed about my daughter.
'As I approached death, I thought it was high time I speak up and set the record straight. Her marriage to this man left her at her lowest ebb and set the scene for further toxic betrothals.

In an extract from the book printed by The Sun, Amy continues: '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.'
Amy claims that Peter, who found fame with his hit single Mysterious Girl in the 90's, 'saw an opportunity' by coupling up with her daughter as his 'career was in decline'.
Amy writes: 'From the word go, something didn't feel right about Peter; I had an inkling that he wasn't who he claimed to be.'
Amy also claims that while I'm A Celebrity was airing she had 'an unusual' lunch meeting with Peter's agent who suggested they also manage Katie if the two got together.
Katie subsequently fell head over heels for Peter, who she had posters of on her bedroom walls, while on the reality show.
Following the ITV show, Peter moved into Katie's house in Maresfield, near Uckfield in East Sussex.
The pair signed a deal for an ITV1 fly-on-the-wall documentary series called When Jordan Met Peter, which aired from 2004 until 2007.
They went on to marry in a huge princess-themed wedding at the grand Highclere Castle.
OK! magazine paid £1.75million for the rights of their big day.

Peter and Katie went on to have their first child together Junior, who is now 18 followed by daughter Princess, who is now 15, but Amy said their marriage was already in trouble.
In May 2009, the couple's marriage was over after Katie was pictured at Badminton Horse Trials with international dressage rider Andrew Gould and his wife Polly. Katie and Andrew went on to a club where they were photographed.
Peter soon after called it a day with the glamour model but Amy said of rumours Katie cheated with friend Andrew: 'I was never aware of an affair between them.
When contacted by MailOnline, Peter Andre's representatives said he had no comment.
