Katie Price shows off £145 shoes made of fox and mink despite grovelling apology and vowing never to wear fur again

KATIE Price has worn a pair of shoes made of fox and mink despite saying she would never wear fur again.

The mum-of-five showed off her footwear to fans as she enjoyed a break in Thailand with fiance Carl Woods.

Sharing video footage of her feet with the bright fluffy shoes on, Katie wrote on her Instagram stories: “Obsessed have them in all colours.

“Thankyou @icequeendesign your footwear is amazing”.

Clicking through to the brand’s website reveals the slipper-style shoes, selling for £145, are made of both fox and mink fur.

The discovery will disappoint fans who were up in arms when the star wore a £270 hooded cardigan lined with fox fur in February last year.

Many fans called Katie out, having described herself an animal lover in the past – welcoming a number of dogs, cats, lizards, guinea pigs, horses and even a hedgehog as family pets over the years.

A disgruntled critic commented at the time: “I really enjoyed following you until I saw your stories today, promoting real fur. Absolutely appalled, I thought you were an animal lover.”

Another wrote: “STOP plugging real fur !!!.”

A third added: “It’s bl***y vile isn’t it!”

As a result Katie, 43, recorded a special YouTube video to respond to her critics.

She wrote alongside the video: “I want to say a massive apology to everyone. Over the years I have accumulated a number of fur clothing which now I DO NOT WEAR. I have done my research and I have seen the cruelty that goes into making these items. I have been so ignorant of the matter, but now I see that this is wrong.”

In the clip Katie announced she would be selling her real fur items and will only now wear synthetic fur.

She added: “I am an animal lover, and I did a post ages ago for this company which was fur and, yeah, rightly I got so much s**t for it.

“They made me realise I am actually an animal lover and why do I need to wear real fur when there’s really good fake furs out there?”
