Katie Price Reacts to Kieran Hayler’s Rape Charges

Katie Price has publicly revealed that she remains “still in shock” after the news broke that her former husband, Kieran Hayler, has been charged with multiple counts of rape and sexual assault. The charges relate to alleged offences against a 13-year-old girl, which are said to have occurred between June and October 2016. At the time, Hayler was still married to Price, making the situation even more distressing for the former glamour model.

During a recent performance on her nationwide theatre tour in Swansea, Katie briefly addressed the situation, showing her emotional turmoil but also her professionalism. She stated, “The thing that is coming out tonight…I’m still in shock. I could have been like, ‘F**k it, I’m not going to do this show with that coming out. But I’m professional and I’m doing it.” Her words highlight the difficulty she is facing as she navigates the public and personal impact of these serious allegations.
