Katie Price slams I’m A Celebrity cast as ‘nobodies’ and says fiance Carl Woods is more famous
KATIE Price has slammed I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! as she admitted to not knowing who any of the cast are.
The former campmate, who famously met her ex-husband Peter Andre in the jungle in 2004, spoke out as she launched her daily review of the show last night.
Katie, 43, let rip on Instagram at the apparent lack of famous people on the ITV show as she sat alongside her fiance Carl Wood.
She said as she launched her daily review: “Should I call it, I’m a Non-Celebrity?”
Katie then left Carl, 32, stunned when she slammed some of this year’s contestants for having “even less followers” than him.
Carl agreed on the video posted to Katie’s 2.7 million Instagram followers, and said: “Even me, a nobody, has more followers than some of these people.
“To me, if you’re a celebrity you don’t need to go in and say ‘hi I’m so-and-so’ because you’re meant to be famous.”
The mum-of-five added: “It should be called Who Are They? Are You A Celebrity or Aren’t You?”
