Katie Price failed to turn up to a screening of a new series of her reality show due to a mystery illness

However, some suspect she may have simply been nursing a hangover, as she’d posted videos and pictures from the pub the previous afternoon.

Taking to her Twitter ahead of the event, Katie thanked those who attended and blamed her no-show on feeling unwell.

"Thankyou for everyone who attended my press screening of #KPmycrazylife this morning,” she said.

"Apologies to everybody for my absence I am unwell but I am sure you will all enjoy the new series Thankyou for being understanding."

However, a source told The Sun that Katie’s illness was self inflicted, saying “Katie was in the pub yesterday lunchtime with her friend Neil, who fans of My Crazy Life will recognise as her security."

I mean, God bless her, she can't really sing, can she? But I've said to her that I'll get her in the studio and make it sound good."Unsurprisingly, Katie was NOT impressed with his catty comments. She said: "I did a favour for @kavana_official by appearing in his music video as a favour when he asked by NEVER discussed going a duet with his and this is something that will NEVER happen as infact I'm in the studio recording my own tracks solo [sic]."

Pricey then went one step further and flashed one of those secret messages.Eek!
