Katie Price has found herself embroiled in fresh legal difficulties after former spouses Kieran Hayler and Alex Reid joined forces to prevent the broadcast of her upcoming autobiographical documentary.
The television programme, scheduled to air in 2025, promises to reveal intimate details about the media personality’s past romantic relationships.
Both men have engaged legal counsel to challenge the production, which threatens to expose private aspects of their time with the 47-year-old former glamour model.
“They feel like they have been backed into a corner and have no choice,” a source revealed.

Speaking to The Mirror, they continued: “They just want her to stop trashing them, and can’t believe she is being given a platform.”
The coordinated legal action marks the latest controversy for Miss Price, who recently faced public criticism from another former husband, Peter Andre.
Mr Hayler, 38, and Mr Reid, 50, are understood to have been communicating through an intermediary to coordinate their legal strategy against the documentary.
Their representatives are preparing strongly-worded correspondence to the broadcaster, requesting reconsideration of the programme’s transmission.
A spokesperson for Mr Hayler confirmed: “We are keeping all our options open. I can confirm Alex Reid is on the same page,” The Mirror reports.
An insider close to Mr Hayler expressed frustration with the situation, stating to the publication that “enough is enough” and emphasising the men’s desire to progress with their lives whilst being unable to “trust anything” Miss Price says.
Television industry sources suggest the programme would “likely spill the beans on [Miss Price’s] many flings and love affairs”.
Miss Price’s marriage to Mr Hayler lasted from 2013 to 2021, with the pair sharing two children: Jett, now 12, and Bunny, 11.
Her relationship with former cage fighter Mr Reid was considerably shorter, beginning with a Las Vegas wedding in February 2010 before ending in separation by January 2011.
Mr Reid previously took successful legal action against his former spouse after she shared private videos and photographs of him engaged in intimate acts with her friends.
High Court judge Mr Justice Warby described Price’s conduct as “persistent, flagrant, arrogant, high-handed and inexcusable”, ordering her to pay £25,000 in damages plus £150,000 in legal costs.
Mr Reid claimed the incident damaged his professional reputation, stating: “She was saying the most disgusting things about me… It was affecting me working continually because people were laughing at me.”
Peter Andre, 52, issued a public statement just days ago addressing what he termed his former wife’s “lies”, revealing that their children Junior, 20, and Princess, 18, have resided with him since 2018.
The singer disclosed that family courts issued a legally binding order in 2019 to formalise this arrangement, whilst referencing previous court cases from 2011 and 2015 where Miss Price was found to have made false claims.

Mr Andre’s legal representatives were reportedly on “red alert” even before news of the documentary emerged.
Miss Price responded by acknowledging her past failings, stating: “I know I will always be seen as a sinner. That’s fair. I allowed myself to fall into a reliance on drugs and alcohol.”
She admitted to being “a poor friend, an awful sibling, and an untrustworthy partner” during periods of mental health struggles.
