Ex-nanny: 'Jordan is selfish bad parent'
Jordan's former nanny has branded the glamour model a "self-obsessed prima donna" and questioned the star's parenting skills.

Becky Gauld, who worked for Jordan and Peter Andre for 18 months, said that the model put her own needs before her children.

Gauld told the News of the World: "[Peter and Jordan's] life is very different to the one on TV. The reality is she's selfish and self-centred - and not the perfect mum.

"When she was named Celebrity Mum Of The Year by Grattan last year I laughed. Katie boasts that she and Peter take turns to cuddle the children at bedtime and read them a story - but I only saw Katie or Peter put the boys to bed about four times in the 18 months I worked for them."

Gauld also claimed that Jordan was adding to her son Harvey's health problems by feeding him the wrong food.

She added: "Harvey's weight problems were due to his condition but she also fed him the wrong things. They would sometimes give him up to 20 packets of raisins a day.

"In a McDonald's Peter bought him 20 chicken nuggets and chips and brought them back to the car. Then he and Katie went shopping while Harvey bolted them down.

"I didn't want him to eat them but I was not his mum. They went on holiday in America for ten days and he lost nearly a stone when I looked after him. I just gave him healthy food and exercise."

Jordan, real name Katie Price, is reportedly seeking legal advice about the allegations.
