Caprice Bourret has slammed Peter Andre after he called her coronavirus outburst "foolish".
The model, 48, left a long rant on one of the Mysterious Girl singer's recent Instagram posts, calling on him to be "more objective".
She was mocked after she appeared on The Jeremy Vine Show earlier this month and argued that she knew just as much about coronavirus as the medical experts because she'd been following what's been happening in other countries.
Writing in his new! magazine coloumn, Pete took issue with Caprice's comments and called her "foolish".
Caprice wrote on his post: "I hope you and your family are staying healthy and well. I'm writing in reference to what you wrote about me in Ok magazine. The information is incorrect and I'd like to rectify.
"I challenged the doctor, not because I thought I knew better but because WHO (world health organisation) said things that contradicted what the doctor was saying. I had read the statements from WHO in a newspaper. My information was not taken from a random person that worked at the paper.
"It would have been nice if you were a bit more objective and watched the entire conversation between myself and the doctor on the Jeremy vine show instead of accessing your sources from a third party."
She added: "I’m just seeking answers to better protect my family and community against this very scary virus. Anyways, more importantly, I hope that you and your beautiful family stay safe and well xx."
It came after Pete had said in his column: "I didn't see Caprice Bourret's appearance on Channel 5's Jeremy Vine programme last week, but I heard that she was slammed by viewers for arguing with a qualified doctor about how to contain the coronavirus.
"She apparently claimed that she knew just as much as the health experts because she’d read reports online.
"If Caprice was intentionally trying to undermine the doctor, then she's absolutely foolish, because it's the medical professionals who are being told first hand what is going on. I know who I’d listen to!"
Pete responded to Caprice's rant in the comments, saying: "You may be right and if so I'm sorry. Check your dm so we can discuss."
Caprice had argued with a qualified doctor on live TV about the coronavirus.
She argued that she knew better than all the medical experts – including Chris Whitty and Patrick Vallance, who have been advising the government on how to cope with the killer virus – because she’d read about how other countries are treating the outbreak.
