Peter Andre has claimed that the actions of his estranged wife Katie Price are “out of control”.

The singer, who split from Price in May, claimed to have telephoned her to express his frustration over pictures of her on holiday in Ibiza.

The images, published by a number of newspapers, appeared to show Price close to another man.

Writing in New! Magazine, Andre said: "As soon as I saw what has been going on, I had to call Kate directly and give her a piece of my mind because her actions are out of control.

"I told her exactly what I think of her.

"Although it was supposed to be a private conversation, knowing Kate like I do, I wouldn't be surprised if she got her film crew to capture the conversation on camera - so I end up looking like the bad guy."

But, Andre added, he didn't care “because I had to give her a few home truths and I wanted to say what I had to say to her directly”.

As Entertainmentwise reported earlier, Andre and Price came face to face yesterday when the former glamour model dropped off their children into his custody.

The meeting. at Andre's home in Sussex, was the first time the pair had seen each other since they began divorce proceedings.
