Peter Andre kept things cryptic after Lee Andrews’ bizarre boast that he had ‘adopted’ his wife’s five children, a claim that has reportedly left Katie Price<\/a> “absolutely shaken”.<\/a><\/p>\n

Even though he has yet to meet them<\/a>, self-proclaimed millionaire Lee – who is now flogging Cameo videos – told one fan in a personalised clip that they had taken the huge step, and that he and Katie have plans to start their own family as they try for a baby.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI haven\u2019t got children, but we\u2019re trying. I\u2019ve adopted five of them. I love my wife and I love her children.\u201d Lee made the declaration<\/a> despite having only ever spoken to Katie’s brood on FaceTime. In another video he said: “Obviously, five beautiful children that I get to call my own now. Handful.”<\/p>\n

\"Katie<\/p>\n

Lee Andrews’ latest comments are said to have concerned Katie<\/p>\n

Peter Andre’s reps issued a blistering response following Lee’s claim. Peter shares Princess<\/a> and Junior Andre<\/a> with Katie and in a statement his team insisted that nothing could be further from the truth.<\/p>\n

They denied Lee\u2019s recent remarks and described them as \u201ccategorically untrue\u201d and \u201cyet another lie\u201d from the self-proclaimed millionaire, who was recently released from prison. Clearing things up even further where Princess and Junior were concerned, the singer\u2019s spokesperson added to Metro<\/a>: \u201cThey haven\u2019t even met him!\u201d<\/p>\n

Peter himself has taken Instagram<\/a> and appeared to address the matter, suggesting the response was not initiated by him. He wrote: “When you get told you responded to something that you didn’t respond to and only found out that you allegedly responded by reading out it is quite something. Ah well, at least it’s summer.”<\/p>\n

\"Peter<\/p>\n

Peter’s post after an eventful 24 hours<\/p>\n

Closer <\/a>report that Katie was “genuinely shaken” by Lee’s claims about her children. “Katie has been left genuinely shaken after realising some of the things Lee has been saying don\u2019t quite add up, especially around the claims about meeting the kid,” a source said, “It\u2019s made her stop and reassess everything, and for the first time she\u2019s starting to see through what she now feels has been a lot of smoke and mirrors.<\/p>\n

“There\u2019s a sense of relief from those around Katie that certain inconsistencies are coming to light, in the hope it acts as a bit of a wake-up call.<\/p>\n

“At the same time, it\u2019s knocked her confidence massively, because she\u2019s now questioning who and what she can actually believe. Katie is feeling very vulnerable and doesn\u2019t know who to trust, which has led her to pull back from almost everyone.”<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time that his remarks about her children had raised eyebrows – he previously alleged that he had met some of her brood, thought to be her three oldest kids, Princess, Junior and Harvey.<\/p>\n

Her representative later came out to deny this, and it later emerged that he had only spoken to them on FaceTime, not in person. She also shared she had no plans to introduce him to her youngsters until she had got to know him better.<\/p>\n

Katie left fans shocked when she announced her marriage to Lee following a trip to Dubai in January – days after meeting him.<\/p>\n

Their relationship sparked concern from her loved ones, who questioned his intentions after he had not joined her in the UK – it later emerged that he had a travel ban, and was unable to leave the UAE.<\/p>\n

Months after their big day, she confessed: \u201cFor me to introduce him to the kids, I won\u2019t be introducing him to the kids yet, because I want to get to know him more myself.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After Lee Andrews appeared to have announce that he has adopted Katie Price’s five kids and that the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":655068,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[96,59,2471,2472,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-655067","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-gb","tag-katie-price","tag-peter-andre","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/655067","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=655067"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/655067\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/655068"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=655067"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=655067"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=655067"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
