They experienced a turbulent relationship before breaking up for good earlier this year.
And now Katie Price has apparently received a post-breakup gift from her ex Kris Boyson’s father, as he returned her pink Barbie car on Sunday that she previously ‘dumped’ on his driveway for an entire year.
The personal trainer, 31, reportedly got his dad to return the dishevelled vehicle to former glamour model, 42, which she now intends on selling and donating some of the proceeds to charity, as she tries to move on from their drama-filled separation.

It has been an eventful few months for Katie who recently broke both feet during a freak accident on her Turkish holiday accompanied by her family and new beau, Carl Woods.
She also declared bankruptcy in November 2019 and is attempting to sell her ‘mucky mansion’ which she can no longer maintain, but despite her money woes, she intends on selling her eye-catching hot-pink car in aid of an autism charity and the NHS.
Her eldest son, Harvey, 18, has been formally diagnosed with autism and was rushed to hospital in June and put in intensive care due after experiencing difficulties breathing.

The 42-year old wants to give back to the medical field and say thank you for the part they played in looking after her oldest child in hospital and for treating her recent feet injuries.
A source told The Sun Online: ‘After both Harvey and Katie have being looked after by the amazing surgeons, doctors and NHS nursing teams Katie wants to do even more to give back to those who care for others unconditionally putting their lives and valuable time in front of their own to care for others.’
Apparently she will get rid of the motor by ‘raffling it off’ and will be giving part of the proceeds to charity, and some of the other money will contribute towards a new log cabin for Harvey in her garden.

Katie’s mother’s health has also taken a turn for the worse after she was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in 2017, which causes irreversible scarring on the lungs and is incurable.
The reality star credits the NHS for making sure her relatives are still alive today as she added: ‘My loved ones are here today thanks to the amazing NHS medical staff that have looked after my mum, Harvey and me.
‘I’m not exactly going to be driving my Barbie car anytime soon and it’s going for a far higher, better purpose that can be shared and for Harvey his own space.’

It was reported on Sunday that the battered pink car was ‘dumped’ back on Katie’s driveway by the father of her ex-boyfriend, Kris, as it was apparently abandoned on his driveway for an entire year.
The reality star and her personal trainer ex separated earlier this year after a roller coaster relationship and Kris’ father has apparently been looking after the vehicle after she failed to collect it.
A source said to The Sun: ‘Kris’s dad, who’s been looking after it, told her, “What’s going on? Are you going to sort it?”‘
Instead, the hot pink Suzuki Vitara with the Barbie logo etched on it’s exterior has been gathering dust, it also has a collapsed roof and is in need of new wheel arches and tyres.

Kris’ father labelled the vehicle a ‘monstrosity’ and delivered it back on Sunday as he couldn’t understand why she hadn’t sorted the collection once the couple separated.
Apparently, Katie finally helped organise the return of the vehicle to her Sussex home, where she is recovering from her holiday foot injuries with her new boyfriend, Carl Woods, 31.
She underwent major surgery last Friday after she broke both of her feet and ankles in a freak accident while on holiday in Turkey last month, and is expected to have a long road of recovery before she can walk again.
