Jordan, star of reality TV shows such as Katie and Peter The Baby Diaries has been hit by allegations of being a bad mother this weekend, by no less than her children’s ex-nanny of eighteen months.

Becky Gauld was sacked by Jordan on her TV show last year and the star has since been ordered to pay her £4000 in compensation for causing the nanny so much embarrassment.

Gauld told the News of the World on Sunday: “[Peter and Jordan's] life is very different to the one on TV. The reality is she’s selfish and self-centred – and not the perfect mum.

“When she was named Celebrity Mum Of The Year by Grattan last year I laughed. Katie boasts that she and Peter take turns to cuddle the children at bedtime and read them a story – but I only saw Katie or Peter put the boys to bed about four times in the 18 months I worked for them.”

Gauld also claimed that Katie aka Jordan was making her son Harvey’s health problems worse by making bad diet choices.

She added: “Harvey’s weight problems were due to his condition but she also fed him the wrong things. They would sometimes give him up to 20 packets of raisins a day.

“In a McDonald’s Peter bought him 20 chicken nuggets and chips and brought them back to the car. Then he and Katie went shopping while Harvey bolted them down.

“I didn’t want him to eat them but I was not his mum. They went on holiday in America for ten days and he lost nearly a stone when I looked after him. I just gave him healthy food and exercise.”

Jordan is said to be seeking legal advice about the allegations.
