Katie Price is reportedly overwhelmed following news that her ex-husband, Kieran Hayler, has been charged with the ra** of a 13-year-old girl. 

Katie’s third husband, Kieran, 38, has been charged with three counts of ra**and one count of se**al assault against a minor. 

The timeline is significant, as the alleged incident is said to have occurred while the former glamour model was married to Kieran.

It is believed that the alleged victim is not a member of Katie or Kieran’s extended family.

A legal representation for Kieran said, ‘Kieran Hayler strongly denies the allegations made against him in its entirety. Mr Hayler is fully engaged and has been co-operating with the police through out the investigation and will continue to do so.

‘He looks forward to his name being cleared, believing in the judicial system to do so.

Now, a source tells Closer, ‘Katie is telling pals that people should understand why the weight’s been falling off her. So much has been going on behind the scenes that people didn’t know about until now.’

The recent allegations surrounding her ex-husband Kieran have left her overwhelmed beyond relief. Especially if she gets called to give up evidence. 

The stress has literally eaten away at her muscles, not just fat-that’s why she’s been looking so skeletal as of late.’

For those unfamiliar, the mother-of-five could be called to the witness stand when he appears in court next month.
