Katie Price's subtle swipe at Peter Andre as she sets record straight over Christmas Day

Katie Price has been enjoying some festive family time with all five of her children, but is keen to keep the precious memories private.

The former glamour model, 44, took to Instagram on Boxing Day to let her fans know Harvey Price, Junior Andre, Princess Andre, Jett Hayler and Bunny Hayler all spent Christmas Day with her at the Mucky Mansion but she wouldn't be sharing any snaps from the day.

As Peter Andre shared a slew of pictures and updates over on his Instagram page - including a rare snap of his whole family - Katie seemingly took a thinly veiled swipe at her ex-husband when explaining why she had been less keen to post pictures on Instagram.

In addition to sharing Junior, 17, Princess, 15, with his ex Katie, Mysterious Girl singer Peter is also a father to two children with his current wife Dr Emily Andre; eight-year-old Amelia and Theo, six.

The doting dad - who only began to celebrate Christmas when married to Katie - delighted his Instagram followers on Christmas Day thanks to sharing posts featuring of all four of his children alongside himself and wife Emily.

The four children huddled in close to Peter and Emily as they grinned in the Christmas pjs and outfits - with Amelia and Theo's faces covered with festive emojis to continue their parents' policy of keeping them out of the spotlight.

"I’m the happiest dad/ husband alive this morning," Peter wrote alongside the carousel of festive outfits. "Merry Christmas everyone," he signed off.

But over on Katie's Instagram page, the mum-of-five was taking a different approach to sharing festive snaps online with fans.

Writing on her Instagram Stories on Boxing Day, the two-time I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! star explained: "Hope you all had a good Christmas. I had such a good Christmas Day with all my babies, Princess, Junior, Harvey, Bunny and Jett."

She added: "Decided not to show pictures as wanted one day private."

Last week, Pete - who split from Katie 2009 - recalled the first time he celebrated Christmas as his parents didn't mark the festive season during his childhood.

The star was raised as a Jehovah's Witness by his mum and dad Savvas and Thea, who he previously said were "devout Jehovah's Witnesses and very strict Christians".

Peter first celebrated Christmas when he became a dad in 2005 when ex Katie gave birth to son Junior – which he says was a "beautiful" way to experience it for the first time.

He exclusively explained to the Mirror : "I grew up in a strict household of Jehovah's Witnesses.

"We didn't celebrate birthdays or Christmas or anything like that."

He added: "I still respect everything I learned, even though I'm not part of the faith."

The singer then explained: "But one of the things is a lot of people say is: 'Do you feel you missed out' and I say: 'Well, you don't know any different'. But, now the kids are going through it I get to live it through them and it's beautiful.

"It may even be more special because it's their first time but it's also mine."
