Peter Andre and his wife Emily are ‘considering legal action’ against Katie Price’s mother Amy after she brands him ‘controlling’ and accuses him of ‘using my daughter to become famous’
Peter Andre is said to be considering legal action against his ex-mother-in-law Amy Price after she spoke of his marriage to her daughter Katie in her bombshell memoir.
The singer, 50, was married to former glamour model Katie, 45, from 2005 until 2009 and they welcomed Junior, 18, and daughter Princess, 16.
Amy branded Peter ‘utterly controlling’ and accused him of using Katie to further his own career in her memoir, The Last Word.
Pete is said to be hurt and confused by the scathing attack and is now considering taking legal action.
A source told OK! Magazine: ‘Pete’s considering legal action. He just doesn’t understand why his name keeps being mentioned – it was a long time ago.

‘This shouldn’t be allowed to happen again and is upsetting for him and Emily.’
Amy has released her memoir after being diagnosed with the terminal illness idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in 2017.
In the last word, she writes: ‘I’ve lived on the sidelines for years, forced to sit back as lie after lie has been printed about my daughter. As I approached death, I thought it was high time I speak up and set the record straight.
‘My daughter is no angel, but she became a sacrificial lamb in a celebrity slaughter the moment she paired up with Peter Andre. He wanted to be rich and famous, and my daughter unwittingly became part of the plan.
Amy claimed Peter, who found fame with his hit single Mysterious Girl in the 90’s, ‘saw an opportunity’ by coupling up with her daughter as his ‘career was in decline’.
She wrote: ‘From the word go, something didn’t feel right about Peter; I had an inkling that he wasn’t who he claimed to be.’
Amy also claimed that while I’m A Celebrity was airing she had ‘an unusual’ lunch meeting with Peter’s agent who suggested they also manage Katie if the two got together.

The memoir is the latest blow for Peter and Katie who are no strangers to legal action, after Katie accused Pete and his manager, Claire Powell, of leaking information to defame her- which resulted in Katie agreeing to pay both Peter and Claire’s costs.
Katie was also forced to issue an apology to Andre by the High Court and to pay him compensation after he launched a defamation case against her in 2009 after she accused him of cheating and not caring for her son, Harvey.
The source added: ‘Katie lost a court case and apologised for what she said, he doesn’t want to be a part of it. His children are grown-up and he’s extremely happy.
‘Katie and her family should just move on and forget about him. There’s no reason for it to be brought up again.’
MailOnline contacted both Price and Andre’s representatives for comment.
Following their split, Peter went on to have two children with his current wife Emily, while the mum-of-five Katie has been married twice more, to Kieran Hayler and Alex Reid.
Amy also made comments on most of Katie’s relationships, including her current relationship with Carl Woods in her book.
The 67-year-old was not impressed when her daughter revealed her plans to marry Carl Woods during an interview on Good Morning Britain.
Amy said: ‘Oh here we go again!’ as Katie confirmed her future plans with her boyfriend.
