Katie Price slammed as she makes huge blunder on first day in new job
KATIE Price has been slammed for her new career move by infuriated fans.
One blasted the mum of five, 44, for having “no passion” for her latest project, this being the launch of her first podcast.
Katie took to the stage at the The Podcast Show in London alongside sister Sophie, 33.
She chatted about her latest venture in a talk entitled Katie Price Does Podcasting!
She arrived on stage in a cream top and joggers, finishing off her sports casual styling with a pair of trainers.
Katie chatted away before taking questions from the audience.
One journalist, Mary Mandefield, quizzed Katie about any podcasts she liked to listen to.
Yet the former glamour model stunned crowds when she admitted: “You’ll hate me for this – I have never, ever listened to a podcast in my life.”
As the crowd giggled in shock, she continued: “I actually haven’t.
“I wouldn’t know how to download one and I actually haven’t.”
She was then asked: “Are you going to listen to your own?”
Katie bluntly replied: “No. Because I know what I am going to say.”
One fan was quick to write on Twitter: “Got to admire the honesty.”
Yet others were more harsh in their critique.
One wrote: “This is funny but also an absolute kick in the t**s for so many people who pour their blood, sweat and tears into creating audio. Invest in them.”
Another added: “This is typical and why I hate celebs launching podcasts.
“They have no passion or ambition for it, they just see it as the new thing to hang their flag on and get some cash.”
Last week, Katie unveiled her new career move.
She took to Instagram to reveal her exciting news.
The star wrote: “So I have news… I’ve teamed up with @crowdnetwork for my first ever podcast launching this summer!”
She teased to fans that she will be sharing a mixture of “gossip” and “truth” in a bid to set the record-straight on her life.
Katie continued: “If you want the gossip, truth, and a laugh, then join me and my co-host (who is also my total opposite and the person that knows me best) @sophie_pricey.”
Her announcement comes amid claims that she is planning a surgery overhaul as a gift to herself for her 45th birthday.
The former glamour model wants to continue on her journey to look 20 years younger by heading abroad to “turn back the clock” on her looks.
