Katie Price has revealed she does not get ‘a good feeling in my belly’ about Loose Women.

The OnlyFans creator, 46, regularly appeared as a panellist on the ITV show between 2015 and 2018 but has vowed never to return.

She told James Phelan’s podcast How To Be Famous: ‘When I think of me on Loose Women I don’t get a good feeling in my belly from it.

‘Because I look at it and think no I no that was dark times for me so I haven’t got a good feeling about Loose Women in my belly.

‘So if they ever asked me to do it my answer would be “No thank
you”.’

The former glamour model added: ‘Yeah so to not against the girls or anyone, its I just don’t want to do it.’

In 2021, Katie criticised Loose Women for letting her ‘perform like a seal’ when she was mentally unwell.

Speaking on the podcast Changes With Annie Macmanus, Katie said: ‘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.’

During her difficult time on the show, Katie spoke about her acrimonious split from third husband Kieran Hayler, as well as her son Harvey’s health issues and her mum Amy’s diagnosis with terminal lung disease.

Last year, Katie was also fuming over a ‘cruel’ interview involving her son, Junior Andre, on Loose Women, in which he was promoting his single Only One.

The 19-year-old spoke to Kaye Adams, Nadia Sawalha, Judi Love and Jane Moore but Katie was unimpressed by a major omission from their chat.

Talking about Junior’s appearance on the ITV programme, Katie said, according to MailOnline: ‘Isn’t it weird I was in Big Brother with Nadia, I presented with all the other ones on Loose Women.

‘Not one mention about his mum, not one mention about “is your mum proud of you?” It was all Pete, Pete, Pete, Pete, Pete.’

The mum-of-five shares Junior and his sister Princess, 17, with ex Peter Andre, who she met on I’m A Celebrity in 2004.

‘He was obviously told not to talk about me. It is so cruel. But that’s what this industry is like!’

With her Loose Women days firmly behind her, one of Katie’s next ventures is a musical collaboration with Kerry Katona as the friends announced they were releasing a single.

The pair are also currently starring in a musical pantomime adaptation of Cinderella, which will be playing throughout panto season in Northwich, Cheshire.

On social media, Kerry celebrated their ’25 years of friendship’ and teased that a debut single from the new duo would be ‘on its way’. However, she did not reveal any further details.

Loose Women airs weekdays from 12.30pm on ITV and ITVX.
