Katie Price ‘used ex Kieran Hayler as a cleaner and taxi driver’ during their troubled marriage, claims Kerry Katona’s ex George Kay

KATIE Price treated ex Kieran Hayler more like a cleaner and taxi driver than a husband – according to her pal George Kay.

George, who was married to Kerry Katona from 2014 until 2017, says Katie’s marriage to Kieran ended because she didn’t see him as an equal.

He told Closer: “Kieran served his purpose in their relationship – he was a doormat.

“He used to be a stripper, he was a young lad and his life completely changed. He used to thrive off attention, and suddenly he was getting none.

“Kieran had a role in the family – the childminder, the cleaner and taxi. That’s all he did and I could see how it was.

“When we were with them, they were very rarely in the same room together. They rarely interacted really.

“If we went to theirs, Kieran would be doing the chores, doing some in the or stables – anywhere but in the house.

“I’d go out with him and we’d have lad chats.

“Katie would be inside on the sofa, eating, drinking, chatting.

“When they came to ours, he would always be looking after the children and she’d always be in a separate room. I never saw them being lovey-dovey.

“Somewhere along the line, he got downtrodden. They should have gone their separate ways the first time he cheated.”

The Sun Online has contacted Katie’s rep for comment.

Katie dumped Kieran for good in May 2018 after discovering he’d had sex with their nanny all over the house behind her back.

Their divorce proceedings ground to a halt last year after Kieran refused her request to get it signed off online.

Since then the pair have both moved on and found love with someone else.

Katie’s toyboy Kris Boyson has begged her to get the divorce sorted so they can move on with their lives.

Katie has had a tough time with money worries since splitting from Kieran.

She narrowly avoided being declared bankrupt after submitting a last-gasp proposal to rescue her finances.

Sources recently told The Sun Online that she is desperate to be “divorced by Christmas”.

The pal said: “Katie’s getting impatient and is sick and tired of being married to Kieran.

“The divorce has been dragging out for so long, because they’re constantly rowing over money.

“Katie’s arguing that Kieran ran up some big credit and store card bills on cards in her name when they were married and she needs him to clear the debt.

“Kieran is saying that he only used the cards to buy food and clothes for the kids as their caregiver.

“He thinks he’s owed more as he gave up his job to look after them, Katie thinks he’s taken enough off her and wants to be single by Christmas.

“They’re both keen to move on, but can’t agree on the financial side of things.”
