Katie Price has lashed out over a recent interview with Peter Andre in which questions were put to him about his children. On GMTV, the model and TV star said she felt that quizzing her ex-husband about how he would feel if her new man Alex Reid wanted to adopt his children was 'cruel', and praised Peter's parenting skills. During the interview with Sky News last week, Peter was shown archive footage of Dwight Yorke, the father of Katie's seven-year-old son Harvey, criticising him for wanting to adopt the child. Peter, who is the father of Katie's two other children - Junior, four, and two-year-old Princess Tiaamii - was asked how he might feel if cage fighter Alex said he wanted to adopt the children. Pointing a finger, Peter responded: "No one is going to take my kids away from me - nobody!" Katie told GMTV that Peter was a 'fantastic dad', adding: "I thought it was so cruel, so out of order. "They can't compare Dwight and Pete at all."
