KATIE Price’s ex-husband Kieran Hayler found drugs “everywhere” when living with the former glamour model after their split, a court heard.
Hayler, 39, told his child rape trial there was scenes of “carnage” at the home they shared.
He said he continued living with Ms Price for around two months after their 2018 split, despite her having a new boyfriend.
Hayler, who said he moved out in May 2018, told jurors: “I was coming down in the morning to what can only be described as carnage.
“There were on the side… drugs everywhere, and alcohol, cocaine on the worktops.
“The house was an absolute state. I couldn’t deal with it anymore.”
Hayler, 39, is accused of raping the girl three times and sexually assaulting her while he was married to Katie.
The complainant is not a member of his or Katie’s extended family.
It comes after Katie gave evidence against her ex-husband over three days earlier this week, which spiralled into fiery court outbursts and a stark warning from the judge.
The former glamour model lashed out at Hayler’s lawyer – accusing her of “slander” and ranting: “I won’t have anybody call me a liar”.
Despiter being slapped down about her outbursts, Katie continued to row with Arlette Piercy as her cross-examination became more heated.
In one tense exchange, she asked the defence lawyer: “Are you calling me a liar?”
Ms Piercy replied: “I am.”
Katie then responded: “I don’t need to be here. You can see in black and white something’s gone on.
“I won’t have anybody call me a liar.”
Katie also branded Hayler a “wrong’un” and said: “You shouldn’t turn this case against me”.
She continued: “The real reason why we’re here is what he’s done to a child, not me.”
Ms Piercy then said she “can’t continue like this” after Katie repeatedly spoke over her.
Judge Mark van der Zwart was forced to intervene and told Katie to “stop talking please”.
He urged: “Take a drink, take a breath, take a moment.”
As she continued to try to talk, the judge continued: “Ms Price, let’s leave it there please.”
The girl, now 23, reported her allegations to the NSPCC in 2021.
The children’s charity then referred it to and she was interviewed by cops in December 2021, with Hayler questioned the following month.
He denied any of the allegations took place and that anything sexual occurred.
Jurors heard he also told police in his first interview of the allegations in January 2022 that he believed he was being “set up”.
He said “100 per cent” he had not raped the girl, adding: “No never, the thought someone thinks I would do that is horrible, it makes me feel sick.”
Hayler also said to officers that he believed Katie had “planted a seed to (the complainant)”.
He added: “It’s like a smear campaign to ruin me.
“For this to come completely out of the blue I feel like somebody here is trying to set me up.
“Kate would put pressure on anybody. For her to not have anything on me I think kills her a little bit inside.”
In court, Katie described the allegations as “disgusting” but said she never went to the press or police about it and it was the complainant who reported it.
Hayler, who has worked as a stripper and actor, married Katie at a luxury resort in the in 2013.
He was her third husband following her marriages to singer and cage fighter
Katie and Hayler split in 2018 and formally divorced in 2021.
The trial continues.
