EXCLUSIVE: Katie Price and Kerry Katona have kicked off their tour of the UK together as they entertained an audience in Fleetwood, but Katie’s actions could see her face a backlash
Katie Price has risked a backlash as she kicks off her tour with best pal Kerry Katona. The former glamour model and telly star was joined by the former Atomic Kitten singer for the opening night of their joint tour at Marine Hall in Fleetwood.
As the pals of over two decades took to the stage, they spoke openly about their lives. The outspoken duo touched on subjects involving their love lives and family experiences, while also chatting about their time together in the Australian jungle, where they took part in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here.
It was there that the duo became good friends – and Katie, 47 met ex-husband Peter Andre, 52. But as Katie and Kerry spoke candidly with the crowd in Fleetwood, some were shocked to watch the mum-of-five allegedly sneak a vape while on stage.

A source at the show told the Mirror: “Kate tried to hide it in the first act but by the second act she embraced having a cheeky vape on stage. It just added to the chaotic nature of the show and was very on brand.”
Despite vaping indoors being frowned upon in the UK it’s not actually illegal. However, it may be restricted at venues.
During the show Katie made a number of bombshell claims, including a marriage admission in which she admitted “suffering”. Talking about her days with the Australian singer, Katie opened up on the breakdown of their marriage, but insisted there are “happy memories” too.
While on stage, Kerry, 45, joked that she was sorry for setting Katie and Peter in the first place in the jungle. Katie explained that after they had all left the jungle, Peter already had a management team due to his pop career.
“Well, he had a manager,” she said, adding: “When I came out, because I wanted to be with Pete and Pete wanted to be with me, I needed to be careful how I word things now…”
Kerry interrupted, saying: “I’ll say it.” Katie added: “She ended up managing me and Pete and… There were three of us in the marriage!”
Katie continued: “There are memories. They were very good memories. I’ve suffered 16 years cause of it, from when I split up I’ve had 16 years of hell. But I’m glad now that the truth is coming out on social media and people are seeing.”
An audience member has since revealed Katie initially seemed hesitant to talk so openly due to legal concerns following her and Peter’s recent public arguments. However, the source said there was a huge wave of support for her when she did open up.
“Say what you like about Katie but she has a fierce support base,” they said.
Katie and Kerry will head to the likes of New Brighton, Ellsmere Port, Stockport and London on their tour as they continue to open up to crowds across the country in their unique style.
Katie’s representative declined to comment when approached by the Mirror.
