Katie Price has told a jury no-one believed her when she said her ex-husband had acted inappropriately with a teenager.

Kieran Hayler is accused of three counts of rape and one count of sexual assault of a then 13-year-old girl in West Sussex in 2016.

Hayler, 39, who was married to the reality TV star at the time of the alleged offences, denies the charges against him.

In a heated exchange at Lewes Crown Court on Wednesday, Hayler’s lawyer Arlette Piercy accused Price of “lying” about what happened.

She put it to the former model that she had “been pushing in the background” to get the teenager to come forward.

Price replied: “I said years ago what he had done. No-one believed me. They believe me now.

“He’s the liar.”

She angrily told the court: “I don’t need to be here. You can see in black and white something’s gone on.

“I won’t have anyone calling me a liar,” she said.

Price accused Hayler of being “a wrong’un”.

“I know he’s done stuff with the [complainant], I got the messages,” she continued.

“You shouldn’t turn this case against me.”

When challenged by Piercy that she kept “going on about it” when she promised not to, the TV personality replied: “Too right – it’s disgusting.

“But I never went to the press, never.

“Never once went to the police about it – that was [the complainant], not me.”
