Jemma Lucy, who lived with Katie Price in 2013, opens up her fears for her former friend
She’s has shared every intimate details of her life with the press since rising to fame. But few know Katie Price as well as reality star Jemma Lucy, who lived with her in 2013, after the pair became close on her reality show Signed by Katie Price.
And while Katie has been slated by former fans due to her recent spate of wild partying and law breaking, Jemma says she’s witnessed the star’s out of control behaviour many times before and insists it’s a cry for help.
Jemma told Closer: “Katie is an impulsive person and she’s always said she loves to shock. But her recent behaviour says to me she’s been through a lot and is struggling. I was close to Katie when I lived with her and I got to know her really well. Katie is a loving mum and she’s the type of person that when she’s at her happiest, she wants to stay home and live the quiet life. But when she’s been through something or is feeling emotional, she likes to escape through wild nights out. I can relate to her. She’s obviously going through a lot."
