Peter Andre and his wife, Emily Andre, attended the 2025 WellChild Awards in London on Monday as the singer’s public dispute with his ex-wife, Katie Price, continued to make headlines.
The awards ceremony, held at the Royal Lancaster Hotel, honours seriously ill children and young people across the U.K. The couple arrived together, with Andre wearing a cream suit and Emily in a white dress. The event was also attended by Prince Harry, who flew into the U.K. on the third anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s death, prompting media attention about the prince’s wider schedule.
The appearance came amid an escalation of tensions between Andre and Price following a series of public exchanges and resurfaced footage from their early-2000s reality television series. Over the weekend, Price reportedly made remarks about Andre during the opening night of her tour with Kerry Katona, recounting details of their relationship and suggesting that there had been a third party involved in the marriage. Excerpts published by The Mirror quoted Price saying, "There were three of us in the marriage." She also said she had "suffered 16 years" since the split.
Andre responded publicly in recent weeks, accusing Price of “peddling baseless lies” in relation to claims about the parenting arrangements for their children. In a lengthy statement, he said their children moved in with him in 2018 "for their safety" and that a 2019 family-court order enforced that arrangement; the claim has been reported in media outlets covering the dispute.
Resurfaced clips from Andre and Price’s noughties reality series have been shared online and prompted criticism from some commentators. The footage, reported by several outlets, includes scenes in which Andre is seen mocking Price and making remarks that some have described as ableist about Price’s then-stepson. Andre has said the clips are selective and denied the allegations of ableism. In an interview with The Telegraph, he said, "Nobody's perfect. No-one's perfect in this world. Everyone makes mistakes," and asked that people judge him by meeting him in person.
Princess Andre, the couple’s daughter, has sought to distance herself from the public exchange. Ahead of her ITV2 show launch, she told the Daily Mail that there was no rift between her and either parent and that any family matters would be handled privately. Reports said Price was upset about not being involved in some aspects of Princess’s television project and an 18th-birthday celebration.
Representatives for Andre declined to comment when approached by the Daily Mail. Price has addressed the controversy on her podcast, where she said she “refuses to be gaslit,” according to media reports. Katona, who appeared with Price at the tour opening, made light-hearted remarks about introducing Price to Andre during their 2004 appearance on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, which were reported by tabloid outlets covering the exchange.
The WellChild Awards are an annual event that attracts public figures and advocates for child health and welfare. While the ceremony proceeded with its scheduled honours, the public feud between Andre and Price has continued to be covered by national media, with developments and responses appearing across interviews, social media posts and archived television footage.
