Katie Price on a night out with boyfriend Alex ReidIn what appears to be yet another well-aimed low blow to ex-hubby Peter Andre, Katie Price is apparently letting her eldest son, Harvey, call boyfriend Alex Reid daddy.

Having prevented ex Pete from taking Harvey on holiday to Spain, where he is currently enjoying the sun with Princess Tiaami and Junior, Katie is insistent that Alex is here to stay and is preparing to move him in.

And Pete is understandably doubting her motives. A source close to the Aussie singer told the News of the World: "He thinks Katie is using Harvey as a pawn in this divorce and it's a disgusting way to act. Harvey's the one thing Katie's got over Peter.

"Peter is horrified she's choosing Alex Reid to become a father figure to Harvey. It's devastating to him."

Reid admittedly does seem like an odd choice. The pair have been dating for only two months and cage-fighting Alex has already caused controversy with his role in 'gangster film' Killer Bitch.

But a source close to glamour girl Katie insists that Harvey was not being used as a pawn, telling the paper: "Harvey had appointments at Great Ormond Street Hospital last week – it wasn't a case of Jordan trying to stop him from going away.

"Routine is very important to him and she's trying to keep that going for him."

Exactly what happens to Harvey's routine while Katie is clubbing her way around the Mediterranean is currently unclear.

Katie Price and her cage-fighting fella may not be the most popular couple, but it could be worse...
