Katie Price quits I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here

Katie Price - Celebrity News - Marie Claire Rex Features

She said she was going in to the jungle to try to win back her popularity with the public, but it looks like Katie Price's plan has failed.

Since arriving in the I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here jungle, just over a week ago, the public has voted for Katie to endure seven bushtucker trials.

Katie has had to eat crocodile milkshakes, bug-filed burgers and fish eyes. Plus, she's had to wade through rat-infested tunnels and swamps of rotting fish guts to win food for the camp.

Last night, an exhausted and emotional Katie Price told the other contestants that she'd had enough of being singled-out for the trials.

After being told she had to take a seventh trial, Katie said, 'I'm not doing it, someone else will have to. I am just not doing any more.' Katie, 31, who had been selected alongside Joe Bugner to take part in the Bad Pit challenge, said, 'I swore on my kids' lives I wouldn't do it. I have said to them [the show's bosses] already.'

Show producers spent several hours trying to persuade Katie to stay in the jungle, but she refused and last night walked out.

A show insider said, 'Katie has gone at a fairly convenient time, ahead of the first live vote tonight. 'She was making it clear that she had had enough and just wanted out.'

Absolutely yes. It was planned from the start as a backup in case repeatedly being voted to do the trials didn't work (which I think it would have if She had had the backbone to see it through).

i bet you anything she'll go back in to get more publicity! she loves the media and will do anything to stay in it!
Comment by laura on November 23 11:15

She came on the show to get sympathy and to show that she was the victim, but she failed miserably, good riddance I say, as it had become too much of the Katie show!
Comment by Miss V on November 23 12:04

ITS MORE THE ANT AND DEC SHOW THAN ANYTHING. THE AMERICAN VERSION WAS SO GOOD, IT WAS WHAT THE IDEA OF THE SHOW IS ALL ABOUT, THIS IS JUST SO BORING NOW, ANT AND DEC SPEND MORE TIME ON OUR SCREENS THAN THE CONTESTANTS.
Comment by john constable on November 23 12:57

This is so ridiculous... what did she expect when she went in there? She was always going to face more tasks than the rest of the celebs, as she's the most famous one in there! Wonder if she'll still get her money??
Comment by Sara on November 23 12:57

What about the people who paid good money to vote for her? Are ITV going to refund them? Someone should be accountable for this silly girl throwing her toys out of the pram.
Comment by Laura FT on November 23 12:58

Does she court the media as if her life depended on it? Yes
Did she deserved to be put up for every trial since she got into camp? Probably not
At the end of the day she's only human and the whole hard faced routine is only an act, it must be really upsetting to know everyones got it in for you.
Comment by Kelly on November 23 13:05

Whilst I think it's fair to say that Katie isn't always the most innocent of people, I don't think she's the nasty person people are making out she is. She has a naturally bold personality and not much of a filter before shooting her mouth off, but I think that's a genuine personality trait and we all have friends like that. She's very full of herself and I don't like the fact there's a new big secret every week, as it makes me think she's faking, but I think that's a result of constant media attention and being constantly surrounded by dedicated management team.

Every girl who's had a bad break up, goes out a lot with thier friends to try and get over it, and seeks attention. It's just generally what we do! Seek out the rebound guy to make you feel a bit better.

I don't think she can be held responsible for it becoming the Katie show as she is not the one deciding who does the trials. That's down to the public. So if you did't want to see it, voters shouldn't have voted for her to do them every time.

I don't blame her for walking as enough is enough. I expect she's feeling very low.
Comment by Ali C on November 23 13:05

If people felt that strongly about her being on the programme why on earth did they keep voting for her to do trials. That in itself gave her more publicity. The public can be incredibly stupid sometimes!
Comment by Anonymous on November 23 13:06

No - she had just had enough of being picked on by some members of the public. Good for her for standing up to them and saying she had had enough. She had done really well. I doubt any of her critics would have done even one of those tasks.
Comment by anji on November 23 13:09

She should be best friends with Heather Mills...
Comment by Maria on November 23 13:10

of course this is a well planned publicity stunt. She got maximum mileage so far and now she will go onto selling her story about how awful everyone was; how she is on the verge of a nervous breakdown; how that b****** of an ex husband ruined her life and she is now planning to do the right thing by her family and friends and join The Order of Silence in Peru. Am I cynical! You bet I am along with a million others. This woman's credibility is nil.
Comment by dawn on November 23 13:10

She is just an attention seeker and always has been, she went in there hoping the public would see a different side to her and like her again, this obviously failed and she just puts on an act all the time, her life is like one big game
Comment by vicky on November 23 13:14

Its easy for you to say she didn't have the backbone to see more than 7 trials through, watching on your television... but if you had to do them all, bearing in mind each one is enough to give you nightmares for life...would you be able to do it? It must be emotionally draining, especially on top of feeling that the public want to punish you in some way.. poor gal
Comment by sophie on November 23 13:18

Its amazing how Katie's best mate who was on after show of Im a clebrity was leaving the same day!
Comment by James on November 23 13:19

Yes this is yet another Jordan publicity stunt so she can sell yet another shallow story. How cheap can this girl get??? She should try staying at home and looking after the kids for some positive public feedback, instead of going to the other side of the world to earn £100 thousands on the "Katie Price Please Like Me Show" (sorry "I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!").
Comment by Joe on November 23 13:19

The public are fed up being manipulted by stupid, plastic faced, plastic bodied shallow attention seekers, and they've vented their frustration on this particular vacuous bimbo. It's the first time the British public has done anything sensible as one entity for years.

Next we should vote off these stupid programmes !
Comment by Catherine on November 23 13:20

I think it's deplorable that so many take so much pleasure in victimising a woman who has been abandoned by her no-mark, exploitative husband - why has no-one realised he was just using her to get a career in the media? I feel sorry for Katie Price and I admire that she has turned herself - an ordinary girl - into a multimillionaire entrepreneur. Typical that other women hate her for her success - makes me sick!
Comment by saharao on November 23 13:27

Well I agree with the other Anonymous..the more trials she does the more publicity..should be reverse if its like that..not get asked to do any.
Also..her best mate on the Celebrity Extra show has just left that show and now her fella is on the way over..hmmmmm all 3 at once
BUT...Having said that..she has maintained her dignity and done her horrendous trials and lets face it..how many of us lot out there would eat that stuff??? She likes attention yep..so do the others on the show !!!!! How bad would they be if given a chance to show off...?? Katie had the advantage of knowing what was in there and the food trials but she is still not the most dreadful person that ever lived..Basically a young woman with business head and good backing and having been a glamour model...so who really cares..The public have just been trying to 'break' her in there...How yuk is that for Britain???? Why is it all so important...Wonder what the Aussies think??
Comment by anon on November 23 13:36

She did the right thing. The other celebs were getting away scott free and having to do nothing. I'm not a big fan of Katie - but the public pushed their luck too far and it's no surprise she'd had enough.
Comment by Irene Howson on November 23 13:45

People pull your horns in, hold up your hands if any of you lot would do one trial never mind seven. Or is this response sheet just being filled up with those daring people in life who would quite happily lay down with bugs.
Don't believe everything you read in the papers, it takes two to make a marriage and two to break it. Frankly I would have kicked the hubby out long ago, It's a man we girls want in our beds not a whiny, snively, pathetic excuse for one who sulks when he doesn't get his own way. And before you all start screaming I am no fan of Katie either for a bright woman she can be very stupid. But I doubt that my or anyone else's opinion will make a difference to Katie, the girl has more balls than most.
Comment by Catherine on November 23 13:45

I think that she thought that she was still very popular. Only with silly little want to be Jordan's. Sorry Kate you could not have won anyway. Yes I am sure that she still got paid. She does not need the money, she should have stayed at home with her children whom she loves so much.
Comment by Ailsa on November 23 13:57

What on earth has the girl done to deserve such vicious bullying? Everyone who voted for her should be ashamed, they have acted like spiteful six year olds. I would like to know since when it has been a crime to be left by your husband, for God's sake, I'm Greek and I can't stand the overly 'cute' package that is Pete.
Comment by a. Johnstone on November 23 14:06

Good job she left before being voted out - doubt her ego could have taken being the first one rejected by the public . . .
Comment by Anon on November 23 14:13

In response to saharao - she's not the only woman in the public eye who has been dumped by her husband yet she handled it a damn sight less graciously than most others would.

People don't hate her because of her success - I think most people would prefer not to be as 'successful' as her if it meant being as publically hated as she is - they hate her for the vulgar way in which she conducts herself.

Considering the frequency in which she has released shock sob story after shock sob story this year most people are getting sick of it - no one can have THAT many tragic 'give-me-sympathy' stories ready and waiting to be plastered over tv, newspapers and magazines so it's easy to see why most people think it's all made up. And when these include serious issues such as rape and miscarriage it's easy to understand why people don't take lightly to what seems to be her making a mockery of the people who actually have had to experience these horrendous ordeals just for a few extra inches of print.

There is also the fact that she is a mother, which makes her vindictive attitude even worse - what sort of example does it set for her children? It's devastating enough for a child to be caught up in parental feuds but when it's open for the whole world to see that can't make things any easier.

If this I'm a Celebrity episode was a publicity stunt it would not suprise me one bit, but whether or not she intended to walk out so early or really thought she could win the public over, either way she knew she'd get a lot of publicity for it, and that can't be bad for a woman who seems to live by the saying 'no publicity is bad publicity.'
Comment by Jade on November 23 14:22

Katie doing a book signing on 12 December at Meadowhall? I'd hate to think it was planned for Katie to leave the jungle.
Comment by POSHPOT on November 23 14:38

I SAY GOOD ON YOU KATE -- WITHOUT YOU THERE ITS NOT WORTH WATCHING ANYMORE. IF GEORGE CAN BE EXCUSED ALL THE TIME WHATS THE POINT OF HIM BEING THERE
Comment by John P. on November 23 14:52

I actually think she did well. I can't the others doing as well as she did with the trails. She has loads of backbone it wasn't fair on her. I also wanted her to win, considering i'm not a fan, but she did well and was ok in there, just got fed up and who wouldn't?????? I love to see others do as many of trails as she did, day in, day out.
Comment by toni on November 23 15:00

Its really bad that people have treat Katie this badly ,to have to do all those really bad things and all because she just wanted to be liked,i hope all those whom like to see peole suffer mentally get there kicks as i feel the woman is very low and to have people want to treat another human being this way amazes me.
Comment by M Croft on November 23 15:04

I love Ant and Dec - they are so silly and fun. Jordan - well I'm glad shes out. She shouldn't have been allowed to return. Her personality is not one I want to watch or hear about. I have better things to do - anything is better. The show was getting boring but now the boar has gone - it will become interesting again
Comment by Morven Ross on November 23 15:42

If she use her head she'd realize that after that one, she wouldn't have to do any more...so why make a big scene out of it. I was starting to lower my hate for her but her childish strops just aren't for me. She knew it was gonna happen. How can she say she wanted to relax. She's an utter idiot.
Comment by Amy on November 23 15:51

I think the public view on Katie Price is disgusting, most people think of her badly, she didn't plan to leave, don't be so ridiculous, honestly! She left because she couldn't handle it anymore, i would do the same! Honestly, she can't do anything without people making a nasty comment about it, leave her alone!
Comment by Anomynous on November 23 17:07

I really do think katie shouldnt have left as she only had to do one more trial anyway, it was totally stupid that she has left but i do hope now she is gone the contestands up for eviction will not go out as this is unfair loseing 2 people in one night. Katie well done yet again you have disapointed people, even though i love you you should have stayed in, you was brave though! xxxxxxxx
Comment by beckie. on November 23 19:33

Has she been sent home or has she been allowed to stay at the 5 star hotel? If she's quit, I think she should be sent home, or else pay for her own hotel.
Comment by pete on November 23 20:25

Katie Price is a loose cannon hell bent on constant self promotion. She's experiencing a huge backlash from the public who are sick to the back teeth of the whole Katie/Peter debacle. If she is genuinely suffering low self esteem then she'd be better off retreating from public life and concentrating on those three poor children who have no doubt been through so much. Only then may the public view her as dignified and a good mother.
Comment by Loraine on November 23 21:13
