Katie Price's mugging horror in South Africa leaves her children traumatised
KATIE PRICE was mugged by a gang in South Africa in a terrifying night-time attack, it has been claimed. The television star was with her children Junior, 12, and Princess, 10, travelling to Swaziland with a production crew to film footage for the 39-year-old’s reality TV show.
Katie Price was mugged when out in South Africa with two of her children
They were all in a vehicle when they stopped for a toilet break in Ermelo, in the Mpumalanga province.
The gang allegedly parked behind them and struck, stealing valuables.
A source close to Katie said: “The gang took everything they could... mobile phones, jewellery and money.”
Reports in South African media last night shared details of the robbery on Thursday.
It is thought her husband Kieran and children Harvey, Jett and Bunny were in the UK at the time
It is thought Princess and Junior, whose father is singer Peter Andre, witnessed the attack and were left traumatised.
It is believed one of Katie’s team tried to fight the robbers and was so badly injured that he was left hospitalised.
Another was also so shaken, they jetted straight back to the UK. After the incident Katie and the team changed their plans and travelled to Durban.
Katie’s three other children Harvey, 15, Jett, four, and Bunny, three, and her husband Kieran Hayler, 31, were thought to be in the UK at the time.

The aftermath of the incident is likely to have been caught on camera for Katie’s fly-on-the-wall series My Crazy Life.
It airs on Quest Red and is the channel’s top-rated show. Earlier this year bosses commissioned a second series.
At the time Katie said: “There’s always drama in the Pricey household and I think this year might well be the craziest yet so I had to do another series of My Crazy Life.”
Spokesmen for both Katie and Peter Andre made no comment last night.
