Katie Price has opened up about her time on Loose Women after previously accusing the ITV show of expecting her to ‘perform like a seal’ when she was in ‘bad mental place’
Katie Price has broken her silence on Loose Women, five years after she mysteriously left the show.
The OnlyFans star, 44, was a regular on the ITV daytime programme until 2018 before she quit for ‘personal reasons.’
Katie has never addressed her departure directly but did tell TikTok fans they would be waiting a long time to see her on the panel again.
During a live video, she said: “No I’m not doing Loose Women. Been there done that.”
Katie previously accused the programme of expecting her to ‘perform like a seal’.
Discussing her time on the all-female show, she told the podcast Changes With Annie Macmanus back in 2021: “I was doing Loose Women for two years. When I look back at that it makes me feel sick.

“Because those two years were bad. Bad, bad, mentally. Bad bad bad.
“But I still went out there and put on a brave face.
“I look at it and think, ‘Oh my God.’
“I look at my eyes on it and think I look dead in my eyes. Because all the drama came out.”
Katie revealed many of her biggest secrets on Loose Women, including her ex-husband Kieran’s sex addiction and her mum Amy’s tragic terminal illness.
Looking back at her time on the programme, she continued: “I feel like saying to them ‘You had me on your show when I was at my illest. But now I am fresh you wouldn’t offer me that back again. I am not saying they wouldn’t but they wouldn’t at the minute.
“You had me at my worst. You had me when mentally I was really going through it. Which is weird because some people wouldn’t have you on the show like: ‘No you are not well enough’. In fact, I wasn’t well.
“I wasn’t well but I was still able to perform like a seal.”
Katie has been candid about her struggles with her mental health, which her mum Amy alludes to in her memoir, The Last Word.
In an extract seen by The Sun, she writes: “I would watch my vulnerable, ordinary daughter Kate take off her comfy tracksuit and slippers and put on thick make-up and outrageous outfits, ready to go out into the world as Jordan.
“She’d simply say, ‘I’m off to work now Mum’ and the next day I would see photographs of her falling out of clubs drunk and playing up to the cameras.”
The Mirror has contacted ITV for comment on this story.
