Jordan's ex-nanny has lifted the lid on what it was like to work the former 'Mum of the Year' - and insists she's a self-obsessed prima-donna who often puts her children's needs second to her own. The former nanny's shocking testimony, made to Britain's News of The World newspaper, also revealed an amazing insight into Jordan's marriage to Peter Andre; the jealousy; boozed fueled rows; and bizarre sex games at their mansion.
The nanny was sacked in front of millions on the star couple's TV show The Baby Diaries for taking a holiday.
But after winning an industrial tribunal case for unfair dismissal she reveals, warts and all, how Jordan - real name Katie Price - really treated Becky and her own two boys, Harvey, five, and Junior, two, while she was working for her.
Becky, 25, raged: "Their life is very different to the one on TV. The reality is she's selfish and self-centered - and not the perfect mum.
"If viewers had seen what I saw off-camera they'd be astounded. The only thing they do as a family is photo shoots."
Becky went on to revealed how Jordan:
Allowed overweight thyroid disorder sufferer Harvey to eat twenty chicken nuggets at once - even though she'd warned by doctors he could die if he didn't diet;
was quizzed by child welfare officers after Harvey, who's blind and autistic, scalded himself in a bath of hot water; and
taught the youngster to say "f*** off just so she and Andre could raise a laugh from their friends at a barbecue.
Becky added to Britain's News of The World: "When she was named Celebrity Mum Of The Year by Grattan last year I laughed.
"Katie boasts that she and Peter take turns to cuddle the children at bedtime and read them a story - but I only saw Katie or Peter put the boys to bed about four times in the 18 months I worked for them.
"She says she likes to play with the kids, but even when she had a day off she wanted me to look after them.
"And once, when Junior had been away with Peter for three weeks seeing his parents in Cyprus, Katie went to bed just an hour before he was due home because she couldn't be bothered to wait up for him."
Becky's biggest concern was the health of Harvey - Jordan's son with ex-boyfriend, footballer Dwight Yorke.
Jordan has previously blamed her son's weight problems on him hating vegetables, saying: "The doctors told me, ‘If he doesn't go on a diet he could die'. I said, ‘I'm telling you now, he will not eat vegetables. He only wants to eat chicken nuggets or anything with potato'."
But Becky claims: "That is total rubbish, he would eat vegetables - you just had to have patience and you had to hide them.
"I used to give him Bernard Matthews mini kievs and hide green beans inside. She'd seen me doing it but she knew it took patience to get him to eat them.
"Harvey's weight problems were due to his condition but she also fed him the wrong things. They would sometimes give him up to 20 packets of raisins a day."
On a holiday to Cyprus the nanny watched in horror as the couple fed him a mountain of fast food.
"In a McDonalds Peter bought him 20 chicken nuggets and chips and brought them back to the car," she said. "Then he and Katie went shopping while Harvey bolted them down.
"I didn't want him to eat them but I was not his mum. They went on holiday in America for ten days and he lost nearly a stone when I looked after him. I just gave him healthy food and exercise."
Becky also revealed that she was at the glamor model's beck-and-call round the clock - but only earned herself $500-a-week after tax. On the weeks when she worked 24/7 that worked out at $3 an hour, working for a woman worth $18m.
She recalls only having about three weekends off in the whole 18 months she was employed with the lads mag favorite - and says Jordan would ring her begging her to come back and help because she couldn't cope.
She explained: "They didn't even ask for references when I got the job. All Peter was worried about was how flexibly I could work.
"They wanted me to look after the kids even when they were around so he could play in his studio and she could have her beauty treatments."
Becky's employment was terminated last June - for taking her first holiday since she started working for the star couple. She had refused to return early from her trip.
"Katie had forgotten I was going away and was furious when I couldn't just rush back early when she was bored of playing mum!"
Jordan even allowed a film crew making yet another documentary about her, to record the event.
After being humiliated on screen Becky took them to a tribunal and won her case for unfair dismissal.
She says: "It cost me thousands of pounds but I was determined to prove I am good at my job.
"Katie sacked me during a phone call aired on TV with Peter sat by her. She said, ‘Can you come and get your bags tonight please. Don't ever f***ing take the p*ss out of me again'.
"It was a relief. I only stayed as long as I did because I adored the children. But working for Katie and Peter was awful. Now I want her fans to know the truth about them."
Since Becky left the couple have had a daughter, Princess Tiaami, now seven months.
Becky - who won $8,000 in compensation at her tribunal - says: "Now I am working for a wonderful family as their nanny and don't have to put up with any of the rubbish that I did working for those two.
"I am so happy to be away from them. It is just really sad because I miss the boys."
