In recent days fans have also been given a glimpse of Katie’s upcoming book Harvey & Me, which sees the star reflect on raising her eldest son as a single parent.
Peter, her ex-husband, has reportedly called lawyers to dispute claims she made in her memoir, especially about Harvey’s relationship.
According to The Sun the singer, 48, told his legal team that he wanted to contact the former model, 43 after she claimed that he had ‘no interest in keeping in touch’ with Harvey’s former stepson.

Peter’s lawyers are reported to have sent Katie legal letters along with evidence to support the claims.
A source said: ‘Pete is a great dad – he was devastated to be blocked from seeing Harvey and begged to see him more and more.
“He’s tried on hundreds upon hundreds of occasions to see me. Pete is tired of Katie telling lies and being dragged into his life.
He doesn’t want her to talk about him. He doesn’t talk about them, she should stop talking about him.
Katie writes in her book that Harvey was upset after she split with Peter, and that even mentioning Peter’s name around her child’stresses’ him.
The couple, who were parents to Junior, 16, & Princess, 14, split in 2009. Peter married Emily again and has now welcomed two more children, Amelia, 7, and Theo, 5.
After an interview she did with Heat magazine in 2009, Peter received compensation and a public apology by Katie.
Peter sued for defamation after Katie falsely claimed that he had cheated and didn’t genuinely care about Harvey.
Katie is facing prison after pleading guilty in a string of motoring offences. She checked into The Priory rehabilitation clinic for treatment of her drink and drug problems.
After she left her home to allegedly search for drugs, the star crashed her BMW, and had already exceeded her drink-drive limit.
At Crawley Magistrates Court she was charged with driving while disqualified, drink-driving, and driving without insurance.
After being charged with driving while impaired, driving in public places without insurance, and driving while disqualified, she could face imprisonment.
Katie was informed by her probation officer that her sentencing has been delayed for 11 weeks to December 15. This will allow Katie to attend The Priory and speak with the probation service.
Julie Hutton, chair of the bench, told her she could go but advised her to not drive in the interim. She said: ‘You’re free to go and good fortune at the Priory.
The troubled star is a mother to Junior, 16, as well as Princess, 14, whom she shares with Peter Andre as well as Jett (8, Bunny 7, and Harvey (7, with ex-husband Kieranhayler and Harvey (18, with Dwight Yorke).
At 1.30am on August 23, police were called to Katie’s Essex home. A man was taken into custody on suspicion of assault, theft, coercive or controlling behaviour.
Katie was taken to the hospital with bruises on her face and a broken lip.
Katie said that she was attacked while she was watching TV and had to flee in terror to Harvey’s home nearby.
In a two minute clip, Carl said: ‘I’ve not been on Instagram for a long, long time, and let me tell you this past month has been one of the roughest of my life. Never in my life have I felt so low.
“I had to hide and shut down. I would have been defeated if I had not been a stronger person in my head.
He added: ‘Everyone just remember who I am and all the things I did at the start when I first came onto the scene, that’s all I can say.
“I’m a good guy and I’ve always been a good guy and will always be a good guy.”
‘Anyone who thinks otherwise of me, once you know the truth about me and I’m allowed tell it, you will be eating your words.
“I just hope that everyone who had the balls and abused me will have the guts to say, “Look, do you know what? I’m sorry.” Because I’ve taken pictures of each one of you, that’s what I’m asking.
Concluding the video, he said: ‘I have never and would never, ever do a thing to hurt Katie, never.’
