KATIE Price “has the devil inside her when she’s drunk,” her ex-husband Peter Andre has claimed.

The singer made the comments about his ex-wife when asked about her drinking habits.

Earlier this month, Katie, 40, was arrested on suspicion of drink-driving.

She then dropped out of a residential rehab stay after just 24-hours, with her family imploring her to get help.

Peter, who was married to Kate between 2005 and 2009 and has two children with her, made no secret of his fears over her drinking.

Following their split, he told The Sun: “If she’s been drinking, I know she’s capable of anything.

For the past few months, as Katie’s life has started to crumble around her, Pete has silently helped her pick up the pieces – helping out with their children and keeping quiet regarding his feelings on her financial and personal issues.

After dropping out of rehab, Katie moved Kris Boyson back into her house, with pals hoping he would be able to keep her on the straight and narrow.

She is still receiving treatment at The Priory as an outpatient and pals previously said she believed the therapy was helping her to cope with past traumas.

A friend told The Sun Online: “Katie’s been opening some old wounds in rehab and learning how to deal with them.”

The treatment even started to help repair relations between Katie and her cheating ex, Kieran Hayler.
