Katie Price has defended her marriage to Kieran Hayler, claiming her husband suffers from ‘mental health problems’.
The former model vowed to divorce love rat Kieran last year after he was caught out cheating on her for the third time.
But despite her heartbreak, Katie has permitted the ex stripper to stay in their house with their kids – and she’s fed up of having to explain why.

Talking to OK! Magazine, the 39-year-old admitted she was “sick to death of having to justify” his continued presence in their home.
“People are always speculating about whether we’re together or not, and yes, he’s obviously in the house,” she said.
Katie continued: “He’s got mental health problems, he’s sorting it out. He’s got deeper issues.”

Burly Kieran, 31, sought out therapy for sex addiction after flings with two of his wife’s friends and their nanny were exposed.
Katie, however, continued to say for months she was not ready to give up on her man.
She told Reveal magazine: “I still love him. The Kieran that I know, I love.
“The other Kieran [who cheats] is horrible. It’s just so far away from the man I married.
“I can’t believe he slept with those women. It proves he has an addiction.
“I know it’s not me. He has an addiction because those women are disgusting.”
Earlier last month it seemed as if their marriage of five years was in decent condition as he accompanied Katie to the Cheltenham Festival and he rubbished reports suggesting they had broken up on social media.
Just days earlier it had been speculated the couple would finally split after Katie had been advised by a psychic to end the relationship.
But now it seems Katie is keen to stress Kieran remains part of her life, despite the difficulties they have endured together.
