Katie Price has issued an apology to Emily Atack following a now-deleted post on social media, which comes six years on from an apparent ‘feud’ between the pair
Reality TV star Katie Price has issued an apology to Emily Atack after reportedly sharing an offensive message about the Inbetweeners star in a now-deleted post. It comes following an apparent ‘feud’ between them years ago.
Katie, 47, issued the apology on Instagram last night whilst on tour with Kerry Katona. The pals are touring venues together at the moment as part of An Evening with Katie and Kerry, which had its opening night over the weekend. They were in Sutton Coldfield for the latest show yesterday.
Amid the tour, Katie is said to have made a jibe towards Emily in a post on the social media platform recently. She has since apologised for any offense caused and expressed love for the comedian in the follow-up message.

According to the Sun, Katie made a reference to an offensive joke about Emily that dates back to 2019. It said that in the recent post, which has since been deleted, the former glamour model wrote a message about Emily being “fishy”.
The message is said to have been over the top of a photo that showed Katie and pal Kerry. The outlet has blurred the full caption but a censored version of the apparent post reads: “I hope my sister doesn’t see this Emily Atack you think you’re funny fishy on [blurred text] and I have a mysterious rash.”
Katie has since issued an apology. She shared a video message on her Instagram Story last night, in which she told her followers that she had played a game of truth or dare with the audience at one of the shows on the ongoing tour.
She said in the video: “Hey everyone, just to let you know the post that went up before, I’m on tour and it was a truth or dare challenge where the audience … I said ‘dare’ and the audience had to say what I had to put up on Instagram.”
Katie added: “So if anyone was offended, and Emily Atack, I love you to bits. I didn’t mean any of it. It wasn’t me. It was a challenge but we’ve now deleted it. So I apologise for that. But it was a part of a truth and a dare game on our tour.”
There’s said to have been a feud between them after Emily reportedly made a joke about Katie whilst on I’m A Celebrity companion show Extra Camp in 2019. The comment was described as a “brutal STD joke” at the time.
It’s said to have come after Emily’s co-hosts Joel Dommett and Adam Thomas were seen in the same pool where Katie and her now ex-husband Peter Andre had cosied up to each other years prior when they both did I’m A Celebrity back in 2004. As she pulled a face, Emily reportedly joked: “I hope you boys went to the clinic after being in that pool.”
As reported at the time, Katie went on to hit out at Emily, teasing that she was heading to Australia to confront her. She said in a video message in 2019: “So Emily Atack you think it’s clever do you to slag me off? Who are you anyway?”
She added: “Looks like I’m coming for you. [If] you’ve got something to say don’t say it behind my back on telly say it to my face. Because all the men I know you’ve been with haven’t got a good thing to say about you.” The video then concluded with Katie wafting her hand under her nose as she said: “Phwoar, fishy!”
