Katie Price revealed the real reason she hated doing Loose Women as she confessed she will ‘never do it again’. The former glamour model, 46, was a regular on the ITV daytime show between 2015 and 2018, but Katie said it was actually a tough time for her and admitted she ‘didn’t like’ being on it.
The Mucky Mansion star took part in a Q&A session at The University of Cambridge’s Student Union, where she revealed she ‘hid’ her personal issues while appearing on the programme. She said: “I hated doing that show. The interesting thing about Loose Women, I presented on it for two years, believe it or not, and it was around the start and during my breakdown and no one knew.

“I hid it very well on there. The only thing I didn’t like about Loose Women was, you had these in-ears and you’re told when you can speak, when you can’t, or if someone is talking, ‘Kate, don’t interrupt, Kate don’t say this, Kate don’t say that’, so it’s quite hard.”
The star said everything was ‘very different’ behind the scenes of daytime television and insisted she would ‘never, ever do it again’.
However, she said she did have fun and ‘got to meet a lot of people’.

“I wasn’t really well, but no one really knew, it was the start of my breakdown, horrible days,” Katie explained. “But I liked the women I did it with, we had fun, but yeah, I wouldn’t do that show again.
“Maybe I should have my own presenting show, that’s something I haven’t done, but it would have to be late night because there’s no filter with me.”
Katie has been open about her mental health struggles and previously revealed she suffered a mental breakdown after being robbed at gunpoint and sexually assaulted in South Africa in 2018 as well as being arrested on suspicion of drink driving after crashing her car.
In her autobiography, she explained how she tried to suppress everything that happened in South Africa but it eventually got too much for her and she attempted to take her own life and ended up being treated for PTSD in the Priory.
She wrote in her book: “My memory is a bit fuzzy with it all, if I’m honest. It happened so quickly, but at the time it seemed like it went on for ever. It was surreal. I kept thinking, ‘Is this happening? Is this actually happening? Am I dreaming?’
“I could make out two men, who I now know to be hijackers, trying to get into the other car, where the film crew were, while the rest of them were around our car.”
