Katie Price proved she is the people’s princess once again when she took to stage in Liverpool for her pantomime performance.
After being paid £60,000 to perform in Sleeping Beauty, the pressure was on for the 45-year-old Mucky Mansion star, who has transformed into wicked fairy Carabosse.
Wearing a dramatic headpiece and a bedazzled gown to best capture her character – better known as Maleficent – the mum-of-five took centre stage in a recent performance for a little dance number.
It wasn’t exactly a, er, spirited performance, as Katie looked a little like she’d rather be anywhere else but on stage.
But, in true Katie style, the result was nevertheless totally iconic as she twirled, and jigged to Spencer David Group’s Gimme’ Some Lovin’.
Throughout the video taken by a fan in the audience, which went viral on TikTok, Katie looks as though she is suppressing an almighty laugh.
Katie has been performing since December 16, in a run that will take her all the way up to the end of the year.
The I’m A Celebrity icon recently opened up on her Katie Price Show podcast, about how exhausted she is with all the performances, which have eaten into her Christmas – and she also admitted to ‘ballsing up’ some of her lines.
Katie, who has five children – Harvey, Junior, Princess, Bunny, and Jett – said: ‘Do you know what I’m doing Christmas Day? I am exhausted and I finish panto at six o’clock Christmas Eve, There’s no way I’m coming with the kids, all their presents.’
‘For a five-hour drive back home, to have Christmas Day to get up here for two o’clock for Boxing Day’.
She added: ‘I’m not having that stress. So Christmas Day I’m not cooking, I’m going to get a takeaway curry.’
Ticket prices for her M&S Bank arena run were slashed after complaints about the Celebrity Big Brother icon forgetting her lines.
On her podcast she confessed: ‘I am broken, knackered. If I have to read another script line, my head is ready to explode.
‘For the past six days, I’ve had to learn a full script, dance, songs for panto that I don’t know or I’ve never even heard of.
‘On top of that my nerves. The stress I’ve put on myself this week is ridiculous. I have ballsed my lines up and had to make some stuff up, so hopefully nobody noticed it.’
But superfan Ethan Slater took to TikTok with the hilarious video, and some praise for Katie’s performance as he dubbed the show the ‘best £33 I’ve ever spent’.
He also labelled Katie as his ‘British icon’ while the comments flooded with amusement at the glorious video.
‘Katie Price is absolutely nailing the choreo… Why is everyone else so off?’ joked user Rich.
Meanwhile, Karly Williams pointed out, amused: ‘She looks as though she’s trying not to burst out howling with laughter.’
While user GayDadOfTwo questioned if Katie had gone to any rehearsals, the original poster commented: ‘If you went to watch it you’d have a different opinion! The panto was hilarious and she really stole the show’.
