After the first few days of arguments and fall-outs, resulting in the loss of two housemates, the last thing anybody in there needed was another strong personality coming in and starting fresh drama
But, while 36-year-old businesswoman Katie Price is known for being opinionated, saying it exactly how she sees it and not holding back, the woman who entered the house could not have been more different.
While she has been upfront with her housemates from the start, she’s done so in a way which has surprisingly softened the divide rather than strengthened it.
By immediately addressing her issues with some (Katie Hopins, Alicia Douvall) Katie diffused any hostility and allowed a clean slate – something nobody was anticipating.
Because of this, the Pricey and the Hopkins have formed an unlikely friendship – and the social commentator was even reduced to tears by a compliment from KP!
She has even managed to calm down Perez Hilton – although, in Michelle Visage’s opinion, this could be because he is in awe of her. But let’s face it, who isn’t?
Katie P has a showbiz career spanning over 20 years, she’s been through it all – public backlash, happy relationships, marriages, betrayal and career highs and lows. As always with her, nothing has been off limits and she has spoken with her usual striking honesty.
This is someone who already has five autobiographies, and yet there is always something to talk about, something we didn’t know about her.
With a house full of dry personalities, with the exception the Hopkins and Perez, Katie was a breath of fresh air. Her husband cheating with her best friend? She’ll talk about it. Her ex-husband enjoying kinky sex? She doesn’t care. Spitting in Calum Best’s mouth during a previous meeting? She’s not embarrassed.
In short, Katie P has calmed the house and brought everyone together, all the while providing the amazing entertainment her own reality shows were known for.
There’s only one thing missing: I just want one of the housemates to attempt to take her on, just once, so she can show everyone exactly why you should never underestimate the Pricey.
