In the middle of their tell all tour, Katie Price has revealed she and Kerry Katona were kicked out of their hotel just hours before heading on stage with the Celebs Go Dating star

Katie Price has told fans she was “booted out” of her hotel just hours before one of her shows with Kerry Katona.

Taking to Snapchat, the former glamour model updated viewers on her morning and wrote: “Hotel booted us out”. She and Kerry are in the middle of a nation-wide tour called An Evening with Katie Price & Kerry Katona, promising fans to “tell-all” about their lives.

In a video, she explained what happened in more detail. “Don’t you just hate it when people knock on the door of your hotel, ‘come on you’ve got to get out now’?” she asked.

“It really winds me up. I’m like, ‘yes if you want to come in you can see we are packing up,’. Anyway, we are at the theatre six hours early which is good do I’m going to find a Subway.

“I’m going to put the kittens in, settle them in, and then go get a Subway.”

Katie has been travelling with her beloved cats, after two had to be rushed to the vets after being found limp. She explained in a Facebook post that the cats were born two weeks premature and that she’s grown really attached to them.

“They were born two weeks premature and we have been bottle feeding them as well as their mum feeding them. But they’ve all been really healthy.

“We’re all really attached to them, they look at me like their second mum because obviously I feed them.”

She added that when she took the cats to the vet, they said it might be better to put them down, but she refused and now keeps them close all the time. “Thank God,” she added when they got home. “Because they are like my babies.”

Being “booted” out of a hotel was not the only mishap on the tour so far. Katie had to apologise to fans from the stage after one show was disrupted by a group of drunken women in Liverpool.

The pair’s most recent performance in New Brighton, Liverpool, descended into chaos after a group of drunken women were ordered to leave by security and police had to be called. Security staff were reported to be talking to a member of the audience during the show and this person and her group were then removed from the venue, to the sound of cheers from the rest of the crowd.

Katie apologised to the audience after watching all the drama on a TV backstage: “Sorry about the drama. It had nothing to do with us.”

Later, two police cars were seen outside the theatre. Merseyside police confirmed to the Echo that they had been received a report of drunken women who had to be removed from the venue and that “enquiries into the matter are ongoing”.

A spokesperson for the theatre said they were grateful to the police who assisted staff to “swiftly remove them from the premises”.
