Caprice has hit out at Peter Andre, branding him “unprofessional” for calling her “foolish” after a coronavirus debate she took part in earlier this month.
The Dancing On Ice star had appeared on Channel 5’s Jeremy Vine programme to discuss the pandemic, insisting the UK should only follow a two-week shutdown.
Father-of-four Peter, 47, had stated in his OK! magazine column that the model shouldn’t be arguing with a qualified doctor.

Caprice has now hit out at his remarks, denying that she was “undermining” medical expert Dr. Sarah Jarvis on the show.
A source told MailOnline: “Caprice feels it was unprofessional for Pete to call someone out when he didn’t have his facts right.
“Caprice would never undermine a doctor or a specialist in their field. She was simply questioning the doctor as the World Health Organisation had contradictory information.
"It was a debate show and Caprice was directly referencing the World Health Organisation who is the authority in this space. A lot of these key facts are referenced in the media."
The source continued: “Caprice referenced the WHO guidelines and that we should learn from other territories that successfully contained the virus such as Taiwan and Singapore who wore masks and closed all schools early and then went into lockdown in order to prevent the spread and assist healthcare with the overload.
“It is a bit ironic that we are actually following those same steps now which is what Caprice was referencing two weeks ago.

“Someone in Pete’s position who writes a column that hundreds of thousands of people read has a responsibility to be objective and have the decency to watch the clip and get the facts correct.
“It seems really unfair of him to comment on something that he hasn’t even seen.”
Peter had written in his column: “I didn’t see Caprice Bourret’s appearance on Channel 5’s Jeremy Vine programme last week, but I heard that she was slammed by viewers for arguing with a qualified doctor about how to contain the coronavirus.

“She apparently claimed that she knew just as much as the health experts because she’d read reports online.
“If Caprice was intentionally trying to undermine the doctor, then she’s absolutely foolish, because it’s the medical professionals who are being told first hand what is going on. I know who I’d listen to!”
