What advice would you give Katie Price?

Poor women. It looks like another relationship has gone terribly wrong.
I’ve always liked her and really hope she finds happiness one day.

On a wider note, ( & my sister is one ) why do some women think any man is better than no man?
I’m not suggesting KP thinks that, but plenty of women put up with such awful men, sometimes for their entire lives.

and you don't need to tell me what I don't need to do Fannycornforth

Well said mokryna, thank you.

Ditto.
lemsip I did mention that it was an old photo upthread. You didn’t need to google it

the 'photo 'is from 2013 so old news.

All I can say I is, I couldn’t cope with the problems she has concerning Harvey. His father, who I believe earns more than the average wage, does not support his son. She cares for Harvey in whatever way a mother can in not accepting the minimum. Of course she has her faults, I am not perfect either.

I love the pink pony costume photo FannyC and judging by the big smile so does KP!

It's totally crackers, isn't it ?

CraftyGranny Wed 25-Aug-21 19:18:14

Splitting with Peter Andre was her downfall.
Don't be mistaken, I like Katie Price.
Katie started out as a Page 3 Natural beauty, but has gone on to destroy that beauty under the knife. Unfortunately, she is not as popular these days and I think that rather than rely on selling her stories to the papers, it is probably about time she got a proper job, and joined the real world, like the rest of us.

FannyCornforth Wed 25-Aug-21 17:57:21

Thanks B! As I said earlier, I love the way that Katie is holding her skirt. She also has the elegance of a dancer (not sarcastic). It’s obvious to me that she designed it

You totally do not understand me Maw. I absolutely was not mocking her.
I actually do admire her.
I understand what she was doing in that picture. It’s sort of postmodern. It’s also glorious in it’s daftness and perfectly executed.
So please don’t feel that I deserve a ticking off. ‘Cos I don’t smile

JaneJudge Wed 25-Aug-21 16:54:20

There is no suggestion the photograph was mocking her, we were talking about her pattern making and sewing

She’s a brilliant self publicist.
The fact that I remembered that promotion probably some 10 years after the event is testament to that.
Maw do you think that I’m being patronising ?

I said patronising comments Fanny Cornforth.
But TBH I thought the choice of picture tasteless and seemed to be mocking her. It certainly did not suggest unalloyed admiration.

Bluebelle Has she made a mess of her life ? You bet she has, 2 of her children were removed by social services, she has been convicted of drink driving, she has been made bankrupt and has left a trail of people out of pocket and rubbed their nose in it whilst will she continues to spend on holidays and cosmetic surgery. She was on t.v crying about her Mother being terminally ill then dumped her remaining children with her whilst she trooped of with a young lad she had just met. I doubt very much that her children haven't been affected by her lifestyle.

Barmeyoldbat Wed 25-Aug-21 16:28:03

The Council paying for the transport for Harvey to go to school is something, as said by JaneJudge every pupil wi and best of all accepting of Harvey.th SEND is entitled to and does not reflect in anyway what kind of mother KP is or how she runs her life. In my mind she is an excellent mother, her children appear to be happy and accepting of Harvey. Harvey lives across the road from her in a house that is rented for Harvey and his carers, she is trying to make him as independent as possible and I believe she has also been going to colleges with him to find him the right placement. A caring mother. And I might add we all have our faults so who are we to criticise.

JaneJudge Wed 25-Aug-21 16:01:14

All children with SEND with an ECHP are entitled to transport to school if it is the most suitable school for them. Harvey is an adult now isn't he? he has to manage his own finances.

Aveline Wed 25-Aug-21 15:50:03

FannyCornforth I know! My comment was re MawBe saying the use of that photo was unforgivable.
Katie Price is a brand. She sells every aspect of her life. Fair enough. She's entitled to but I don't understand the criticism of critics. We're entitled to comment on her and her lifestyle.

Newatthis Wed 25-Aug-21 15:20:17

I am not sure she would take any from any of us. She has had a team of professionals, stylists, PR people etc working for her for many years and it would seem not taken their advice.

DanniRae Wed 25-Aug-21 14:43:50

To my mind if you live the kind of life that KP does - courting publicity - then you have to accept that people are going to judge you.
In other words 'if you don't like the heat stay out of the kitchen'

tickingbird Wed 25-Aug-21 14:37:36

She once let it slip that the local council paid approximately £1000 a week for Harvey’s transport to the school he attended. When she was pulled up on it she said she could so why shouldn’t she. She was in CBB at the time, reportedly being paid over £300,000. She’s been arrested for drink driving and convicted, also attempting to pervert the course of justice by lying about who was driving the car. Yes she’s a wonderful mother.

Lillie Wed 25-Aug-21 13:41:39

last night on masterchef she said cheekily
what is there left for katie to do next
she said she isnt phased at giving anything a go
so presumably the utterly absurd too

FannyCornforth Wed 25-Aug-21 13:14:03

Aveline it’s tongue in cheek camp! It’s a joke! She is taking the mickey out of herself smile

FannyCornforth Wed 25-Aug-21 13:12:06

Maw do you think that I’m being patronising ?

Aveline Wed 25-Aug-21 13:10:32

Her lack of taste in allowing that photograph to be taken and sold is what's unforgivable. ?

Lillie Wed 25-Aug-21 12:31:54

in context the photo is fine
it was for a promotional event to celebrate 5 years of kp equestrian clothing
it was far more memorable than beige jodhpurs and a navy riding jacket
thats the whole point with katie price

JaneJudge Wed 25-Aug-21 11:54:54

There is nothing wrong with the photograph?
