Katie Price has spoken out to deny she is the unnamed celebrity mum who had 'two kids taken into foster care' for partying too much.
On Tuesday it was reported social services were involved after reports an unidentified famous mum pulled her young son's hair in public - which led to a council probe which suggested neglect.
After the story went viral, many social media users began speculating as to the identity of the mystery star.
Hours after the news broke, reality star Katie bizarrely took to Instagram to shut down speculation she was the mum at the centre of the furore.

Celebrity mum has 'two kids taken into foster care' after letting them fend for themselves while she partied
Appearing in a live video seen by Mirror Online, she told fans: "Just to say, I'm not the one in the papers today who's had their kids taken off them, I've seen it online and it's not me."
It came just days after mum-of-five Katie was accused of using cocaine and booze to cope with her split with third husband Kieran Hayler.

The star at the centre of the childcare allegations remains anonymous.
Social services moved in after receiving a report from members of the public and conducted their own enquiries that uncovered a series of other issues, including neglect, the Sun reports.
The kids were left to "fend for themselves" while she went to glitzy showbiz events and did red carpet appearances, it claims.
A family court judge ruled that the youngsters be handed into the care of another family, who live nearby the celebrity mum's £1million home.
A source told the Sun: "She has been struggling to cope recently.
"They are lovely kids, very well mannered. But she won't give up her celebrity life to concentrate properly on them and things have all got a bit too much."
