Keith Lemon has admitted he discussed interviewing Katie Price with his pal, and her ex, Peter Andre.

The Celebrity Juice star interviewed the former glamour model for ITV’s Shopping with Keith Lemon, which sees him take a whole host of celebs shopping and opening up to him about various things.

From Paddy McGuinness talking about his children’s autism, to Danny Dyer revealing his love for comics, Keith revealed the celebs are full of surprises.

‘They all surprised me with how awesome they are, even the ones that I know, some of them get really open, and I say, “You don’t have to tell me, just tell me what you wanted to share,”‘ he shared exclusively to Metro.co.uk.

Keith continued: ‘But Katie Price actually, we’ve all got our thoughts about Katie Price and what we think about Katie Price but she was really nice and really trying to show that she had a fun side.’

He admitted being ‘surprised’ with just ‘how open’ the mum-of-five is, saying: ‘Because anything negative, if you keep chatting about it, it’s always going to be there, just let it go, let it go, but she’s always open about it and talking about who said what about her, but I can’t deny she was fun.

‘I’m friends with Peter Andre as well, so it was a bit awkward, and I said to Katie “You do know I’m friends with Peter,” and she said yeah, and I said the same to Peter Andre when I spoke to him, and he said, “Don’t worry about it I know you’ve got to do your job,” and yeah she was really interesting in.’

Katie and Peter split in 2009 after meeting during their stint on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here in 2004.

They share two children together, Junior, 17, and Princess, 15.

‘She was fun that’s what stuck out to us, it was nice to see her, because she’s always bogged down with grief, there’s always some scandal around her. But yeah, she’s fun,’ Keith told us.

When interviewing Katie, Keith’s social media posts announcing the interview were flooded with hateful comments.

‘I just thought still online people haven’t learnt, and I don’t think they ever will learn.

‘When Caroline Flack passed away and the Be Kind movement happened which I think lasted for all of two weeks, people just don’t seem to care what they say about people online.

‘I always liken it to road rage, people say all sorts behind a steering wheel but they wouldn’t get on the street, and it’s the same with online people.’

He added: ‘The whole mentality of online is crazy. And it would do good as some sort of charity thing if we all came off it for a week and just saw how the world changes.’

Shopping with Keith Lemon continues on Thursday at 10pm on ITV2.
