Former glamour model Katie Price has had numerous ups and downs during her forty four years, many of which she reveals and analyses in new channel four documentary Trauma and Me. But for those that know her best, they can see one key turning point in her life from which things started to go down hill for the star. And that was her split from Peter Andre in 2009.
Katie's step dad Paul explains: “I think her downfall has to start from the divorce with Pete. From that moment, all she got was backlash, backlash, backlash and I find it quite hurtful. I’m not saying she’s an angel, but I think she deserves better.
I can understand why she’s got mental health [struggles]. It’s hard.” Peter and Katie met when they were both contestants on I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here in 2004. Just over a year later the pair wed and they went on to have children Junior and Princess.
But Paul thinks their bitter split and acrimonious divorce, amid suggestions that Katie had been unfaithful, were a tipping point for Katie. Her mum Amy, who is living with a terminal lung condition, also thinks the split has been harmful for Katie. “Kate is good at hiding her feelings, we knew she had loads and loads of problems,” Amy says.The documentary follows Katie in the weeks after her drink-driving crash last year and shows her narrowly avoiding jail and being handed a 16-week suspended sentence and two-year driving ban.
But that wasn’t the trigger that kicked off Katie’s mental health battle, with her openly revealing it got far worse a few years before. “I hit a severe depression a couple of years ago, depression on top of PTSD. I was suicidal, I didn’t want to be here,” she says on the show.
