KATIE Price has placed her youngest daughter on a phone ban after having ‘major problems’ with social media.
The former glamour model said that she took Bunny’s phone off her after the nine-year-old ‘broke her trust’.
Speaking on her podcast, The Katie Price Show, she and her sister Amy discussed how tricky parenting and social media can be.
“The trouble is, with social media, it’s the way forward. But I do think young kids should be restricted from it,” Katie began.
“I’ve had problems in the past, major problems in the past with Bunny. I block it and put parental locks on it [but] she’s so clever to undo them and it gets me into trouble,” she continued.
She explained that Bunny sees her friends and family on social media and wants to be involved.

“So now she actually hasn’t had a phone for four weeks. And in those four weeks she admits shes doing more horse riding, she’s outside more, she can’t argue with friends, there’s none of these group chats, and I’m getting less parcels in the post from her ordering stuff,” she continued.
The mum-of-five said that her daughter has “changed” since not having her phone.
“I’ve said if she wants a phone so she can talk to her dad, he can get her that Nokia phone, an old school one where I think the only game on it is Snake,” she laughed.
Katie has come under criticism over the past few years for Bunny’s presence on YouTube.

The youngster has been banned several times from the site after violating the age restriction rules.
The minimum age allowed to share videos on the video platform is 13, and Bunny is only nine.
In January this year she posted a video of herself “almost dying” on the site.
The video showed Bunny larking around during her New Year’s sleepover with her mum at Kerry Katona’s massive mansion.
Bunny uploaded a short of her swinging on what appeared to be a gymnastics bar, before falling to the floor below.
Luckily some stuffed toys caught her fall and she burst out laughing, but she captioned the footage “#almost died”.
Bunny’s social media use has also caused arguments between Katie and her ex-husband Kieran Hayler, 36.
Back in November, Kieran slammed Katie for letting Bunny film online content, asking, “Where is the parental protection and safe guarding?”
She was also banned from TikTok for being underage, with the platform setting a strict thirteen-plus age requirement.
Last month Bunny shared another video on YouTube, where she posted a string of lip-syncing clips.
In another, she is seen looking downcast having written, “No one likes you. Your fat. You have no friends. Your little brother will forget about you,” in front of her video.
Bunny captioned it with sad and crying emojis.
A source told The Sun: “I was so shocked when I saw it. Kieran and Katie have been at war over Bunny’s social media for months but clearly Katie doesn’t care.

“Bunny shows off her bedroom with clothes and litter everywhere and make-up smeared over the house.
“I don’t know why Katie doesn’t delete it.”
