Katie Price says her husband Kieran Hayler’s infidelity "paralyses her everyday".
While the 36-year-old star has reconciled with the former stripper – who she married last year – following revelations he had affairs with her two best friends, Jane Pountney and Chrissy Thomas, the businesswoman admits she is haunted by his cheating antics on a daily basis.
She said: "I never will get over it. It paralyses me everyday. But, you know, I try to be positive in life. He’s getting help, he’s had rehab."
Asked to clarify what her husband – the father of two of her five children, Jett, 15 months and three-month-old Bunny – is getting help for, she told ITV’s ‘This Morning’: "It’s like a sex addiction, it’s like an adrenaline. The thing is, people always believe that someone is an alcoholic or a drug addict. But they need believe they’ve got a sex addiction of some sort.
"Lots of things happened to him when he was a kid, which I never knew until all of this happened. I’m not saying it’s an excuse or anything … but, you know, I’m still gobsmacked he’s done it, because I was in shock myself.
"But my friends, I’ve now realised they’re not my real friends. But he does have a problem and he’s getting help for it."
Katie – who also has kids, Harvey, 12, from her past relationship with Dwight Yorke and Junior, nine, and Princess, seven, from her marriage to Peter Andre – explained she’s stayed loyal to Kieran because she still loves her husband, not because it’s best for their kids.
She said: "I don’t think couples should be together just because of their kids. I want a happy home. I love him."
The mum-of-five also revealed she and Kieran joke about his infidelities, explaining: "Friday nights we always get a curry and he’ll say, ‘I’ll go and pick it up.’ And I’ll say, ‘Which car park are you going to pick your woman up in?’ "
