Police question Katie Price about daughter's burn

Katie Price has confirmed that police have launched an investigation after her daughter was burnt while in her care. The 32-year-old model said she has 'co-operated fully' with officers and provided evidence surrounding the 'minor' injuries received by Princess Tiaamii. The investigation comes after newspaper reports suggested that the youngster was burned on her arm in a sauna during a break in Switzerland with her mother last month. In a statement Katie, AKA Jordan, said: "I don't want to say any more about Princess's burn, or the claims that it is a 'bad' burn. "Shamefully someone has contacted the police about this and I have co-operated fully and provided evidence of just how minor this incident really was." Katie also refused to comment about pictures allegedly showing her daughter's injury until the police have concluded their investigation. "I accept that children have minor accidents as they grow up and that is not something to try to point-score about," she added. The reality TV star has three children - Princess, three, and Junior, six, with her ex-husband Peter Andre and Harvey, nine, with former footballer Dwight Yorke. A spokesman for Surrey Police said: "I can confirm that police are dealing with a matter involving a three-year-old child."
