Katie Price's ex-husband Kieran Hayler has broken his social media silence following news of his arrest with a cryptic post on his Instagram Stories.
The former stripper, 36, was arrested on Good Friday on suspicion of child neglect and suspicion of possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence.
Kieran and ex-glamour model Katie - who similarly made a cyptic Instagram post this morning - were married 2013 and 2021 when their messy divorce was finalised. They share two children together.
A spokesperson for Sussex Police told the Mirror on Saturday evening: "A man has been arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence and child neglect.
"He has been taken into custody for questioning. We will not be commenting further."

The article was headlined "Parental Alienation is child abuse" and went on to attempt to describe what it was and suggest what the "primary strategies of an abuser" were.
He did not directly reference Katie in the post.
Later on this morning, Kieran posted a video of all the Easter treats on the table.
"Oh, the Easter bunny has been this morning," Kieran can be heard saying before referencing his son and stepson. "Excited for Apollo and Valentino to get up and they get to see their stuff."
Kieran didn't refer to his children with Katie - eight-year-old Bunny and Jett, nine - in the video.
It comes after Katie also shared a cryptic Instagram post just hours after news of Kieran's arrest.
Katie, 44, has not commented directly on his arrest but posted a quote on her Instagram Stories on Sunday morning.
The quote read: "A person's true colors will always show within time. You may be fooled for the moment, but be patient and see what happens."

A neighbour of Kieran and Michelle's told The Sun : "It was very dramatic, a police van and car suddenly turned up on the driveway of their home."
However, it is not clear whether Kieran's children or Michelle were at home at the time of his arrest.
The news of Kieran's arrest comes hours after he shared two posts about female narcissists on his Instagram page after his former wife posted about ex-partners.
Katie shared a video on her Stories which shared the "traits" of a narcissist alongside a voiceover which said: "When a narcissist says 'my ex was crazy'".
Although her post wasn't directed at anybody in particular, Kieran appeared to have taken it to heart and took to his own page to indirectly respond.
The pair had been involved in a messy falling out since they decided to split, with Katie claiming he had cheated on her on several occasions.
Following a tumultuous relationship, they called it quits in 2018 but their divorce took a long three years to be finalised.
