Katie Price's ex-husband is furious after Channel 4 never sought his permission for their children to appear in the Mucky Mansion documentary.
Keiran Hayler accused show-runners of breaching their own strict rules for showing under-16s on camera after eight-year-old Jett and Bunny, seven, featured in the first episode on Wednesday night.
According to the Mirror, the 34-year-old's spokesman said: “Mr Hayler did not receive any communication from Channel 4 seeking his consent to sign off the children’s appearance before the airing of this week’s programme.
“One would expect protocol to be adhered to especially in light of children being filmed without consent of both parties involved, as per Channel 4’s own guidelines.”
C4’s rules say “ideally both parents’ consents should be sought” before filming kids. But the station only got Katie’s blessing that it claims is enough.
A spokeswoman for Channel 4 said: “The production company obtained the appropriate permissions for all minors in the series.”
In the opening episode, which shows Katie, 43, renovating her West Sussex home, Bunny and Jett are seen doing arts and craft with the mum-of-five.
As the trio customise a mirror, Bunny says: “Mum, did you know, it’s not about spending money... it’s about what you can make.”
Katie’s daughter Princess, 14, with first husband Peter Andre, also features in the series.
His agent did not respond to queries as to whether he had been consulted.
A source said: “Kieran was very unhappy the children are featured and paraded around on screen without his consent. It’s unacceptable.”
This three-part series follows Katie and her family over seven months as they renovate her mansion after it fell into disarray and was hit by vandals.
