Katie Price slammed by fans as they accuse her of ‘scrounging freebies’ after Catherine Tyldesley bakery row
KATIE Price has been accused of ‘scounging freebies’ after she got a company to throw a mermaid party in her lounge.
Former glamour model Katie, 45, admitted she’d been gifted all the components of her daughter Bunny’s ninth birthday celebration, as she took to Instagram with her latest post.
Catherine Tyldesley, 39, hit headlines last week for a similar thing – something she insists she knew nothing about.
Katie shared a video from inside her Mucky Mansion, which showed a selection of mermaid bed bunk tents set up in the lounge, complete with colourful balloons and shimmering cushions.
Little pamper tables were set up in front of the tents, each with fluffy eye-masks and shell-shaped beakers.
A neon sign in the initial B took centre stage before a huge white-iced cake adorned with edible mermaid fish-tails, shells and star fish was revealed.
Katie was then seen in a white jumper and leggings rallying her party troops and saying: “Come on we have only got half an hour, come on!”
The kitchen table was adorned with blue silver sparkling cloth and a mermaid cut-out before beach-style fishnets and pampas plants were placed on-top.
Snacks including iced gems, croissants and sausage rolls then artistically filled the space.
When it was complete in an impressive 60 minutes, Bunny and her mates arrived.
She was seen running through the room as she squealed: “Oh my God,” before Katie asked: “Do you love it?”
She quickly replied: “Yes,” before picking out a pamper station and adding: “My one, my one.”
Katie posted the scenes to her own TikTok and Instagram pages with the caption: “Bunny’s reaction at the end.
“We transformed my living room into a mermaid themed party in just ONE HOUR for Bunny’s 9th Birthday today.”
The TV personality wrote in her caption: “Bunny’s reaction at the end, we transformed my living room into a mermaid themed party in just ONE HOUR for Bunny’s 9th Birthday today.”
She went on to thank a string of companies for the goodies, along with “#gifted”.
But some followers were left unimpressed by the post.
One fan commented, “It’s not actually katie that deserves the credit for this. She’s done bugger all apart from scrounge a freeby. She sits back and takes all the glory.”
Another added, “Wow all that Grifting is hard work eh Katie.”
It comes after a small business shared an email exchange between it and a firm representing former Corrie star Catherine Tyldesley.
It asked for a 40th birthday cake, 100 cupcakes and an extra smaller birthday cake for her husband in return for exposure.
The actress has since insisted she had “no idea” the emails were being sent.
