Katie Price denied harbouring "any venom" towards her former husband Kieran Hayler as she gave evidence at his trial at Lewes Crown Court on Tuesday. Hayler, 39, is accused of three counts of rape and one of sexual assault against a girl who was 13 at the time, in West Sussex in 2016. He denies all four charges. Under cross-examination, defence lawyer Arlette Piercy put it to the reality star that she was angry and vengeful towards Hayler and had pursued a vendetta against him over a number of years. Price rejected the suggestion, saying the couple's split had been amicable. Asked whether she "loved revenge or is it just TV", she replied that it was television and what drove her in her work. Jurors had previously been shown messages Price exchanged with the girl, then aged 14, in which Price said she had heard that Hayler and the teenager had kissed and that he had "tried it on", describing it as a serious allegation. The girl replied that it was "just a flirt thing" and that nothing had happened. Price then asked whether he had kissed her and wrote: "I will make you a little star." Pressed by Ms Piercy on what she had meant by the phrase, Price said it was a figure of speech with no agenda behind it. The court has previously heard Hayler suggest that his ex-wife launched a campaign against him when their marriage ended and that the allegations form part of it. The couple were married at the time of the alleged offences; their relationship broke down in 2018 and they divorced in 2021. The alleged victim, who is not part of either family, first contacted the NSPCC in 2021, and the charity referred her to police, prompting the investigation. The trial continues.
