Katie Price’s marriage in turmoil over secret letters from mistress

Husband Kieran Hayler had an affair with her best friend Jane Pountney

| Updated:

Just as Katie Price’s marriage looked to be back on track, something else comes along.

Katie and her husband only recently celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary, and it certainly hasn’t always been plain sailing in that time.

Kieran very famously had an affair with her ex-best friend Jane Pountney.

It almost destroyed the couple – and now the difficult chapter appears to have reared its ugly head again.

Secret letters have emerged that have been written by Jane reportedly “begging” Katie to take her back as a friend.

As you can imagine, Katie pretty much erased Jane out of her life when the scandal blew up, but her former friend has never given up hope of them reconciling on some level.

Jane, who was bridesmaid at Katie’s weddings to Alex Reid and Kieran, has penned countless emotional letters to portray her side of the story.

Reportedly, she gave the letters to Katie’s mum Amy, who has now finally given them to her daughter.

We can’t imagine how Katie took all this.

A source told Reveal: “In the letters, Jane says she wants to reveal ‘the truth’ about Kieran. She’d apparently kept text messages in which he’d criticised Katie and complained about his life.

“Jane wrote to Katie saying that no amount of therapy can cure a cheat. She urged Katie to leave Kieran – before he does it all again.”

The source added: “Kate is afraid of speaking to Jane, because she knows, deep down, that she’s right. She couldn’t bear to meet her again after all this time.”

The worst thing about the sordid affair was Katie being pregnant with her youngest daughter, 23-month-old Bunny, when she found out the horrendous news.

However, the former glamour model admitted last year that, if it wasn’t for her little one, her marriage to Kieran would probably be over.

In an excerpt from her latest book, she said: “If there’s one thing that kick-started the turnaround in the relationship between Kieran and me it was my little Bunny’s arrival into the world. In lots of ways she became the fresh start we both needed.”

She continued: “If she’d been my first and Kieran had behaved as he did, I wouldn’t have coped. It’s funny how good things happen when you least expect them.

“Before the birth I’d been really hard on Kieran. I’d told him if the baby was premature, brain damaged or harmed in any way, I’d lay the blame at his and Jane’s door.”
