Katie Price, a prominent figure known for her former glamour modeling career, has recently come under fire from her fans and followers for a controversial action during her latest podcast appearance. The 45-year-old celebrity was spotted vaping on her podcast, “The Katie Price Show,” a move that has raised eyebrows due to its potential influence on young people and the health condition of her mother.
In a video snippet shared on her Instagram account, Katie Price can be seen casually vaping while engaging in a conversation with her younger sister, Sophie, during an episode of her podcast. This incident has drawn particular attention and concern considering her extensive social media following, which exceeds 2.6 million followers on Instagram alone, and the fact that her mother, Amy Price, is currently battling idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis – a lung condition with serious health implications.
Amy’s health journey has been publicly documented, including her miraculous lung transplant that has extended her life expectancy beyond the initially grim prognosis of up to five years. Consequently, Katie’s choice to vape on camera has ignited criticism from several of her fans.
Comment sections flooded with remarks expressing disappointment and disapproval. One user strongly criticized Katie’s actions by stating, “Vaping on camera is so irresponsible, especially with your mum’s lung disease.” Another user echoed the sentiment, emphasizing the potential impact on impressionable younger fans: “Vaping, for goodness’ sake… This sets a poor example for your younger fans. Please exhibit responsibility.”
A prevailing sentiment emerged among commenters, with another user urging, “Don’t display the vaping,” while a concerned individual questioned, “Why is she vaping?!” The seriousness of the situation was evident in comments like, “Vaping with your mum’s lung issues? It’s a joke.”
Despite the backlash, Katie Price is venturing into new territory by taking her podcast beyond the digital realm. She recently announced an upcoming stage show at The Lowry (Quays) in Salford, scheduled for Tuesday, November 7.
This incident transpired as Katie and her mother, Amy, shared positive news in an Ok! interview, revealing that Amy’s life has been significantly prolonged following the miraculous lung transplant – defying the initial prognosis and offering a glimmer of hope amid health challenges.
