Katie Price addresses rumours that she is the ‘celebrity mum’ who had her kids taken away

Katie Price has addressed the rumours that she is the 'celebrity mum' who had her children taken away from her.

The former glamour model took to Instagram earlier today to say that she wasn't the mother who had her children taken into care due to alleged neglect. During an Instagram Live, she said:

“I’d like to clarify I’m not the person in the papers today whose kids have been banned or taken away from them.

“I’ve not been banned from seeing my kids either.”

The mother, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has allegedly been neglecting her children while focusing on her own "glitzy" lifestyle. She is also alleged to have assaulted one of her children in public. A source told The Sun:

“She has been struggling to cope recently. They are lovely kids, very well mannered but she won’t give up her celebrity life to concentrate properly on them and things have all got a bit too much.” “Social services got involved after she was accused of pulling her son’s hair. Then further problems came to light.”

The newspaper states that a judge has already placed the two children with a foster family near to their £1 million home. The mother is said to be a "well-known" television personality.
