Katie Price pulls out of Glasgow Pride gig just hours before being due to perform
Katie Price left her fans disappointed after she dropped out of a public appearance at the last minute. The former glamour model was scheduled to attend Glasgow Pride on Saturday, July 19, but backed out of the event due to "another urgent obligation."
Katie, 47, was slated to appear alongside headliners Miriana Conte, Subwoolfer, Kelly Llorenna and Karen Dunbar at the bash. But she decided against making the trip to Scotland for an as yet undisclosed reason.
The cancellation comes just weeks after Katie and her close friend and former Atomic Kitten star Kerry Katona pulled out of another PA when they were due to headline Barnsley Pride. They cancelled that appearance due to "unforeseen circumstances" and "personal reasons," with an explanation in full not given.
An announcement shared to the Glasgow Pride Instagram account on Saturday confirmed that Katie was no longer going to be attending the event, as organisers wrote, "Unfortunately, Katie Price is not able to attend Glasgow's Pride 2025 due to another urgent obligation. But we do have a message for those who attend Pride!"
They then revealed that the event would go ahead hosted by "Showbiz Lion Bev Lyons. Glasgow's own Queen, Miss Bella Houston. And introducing the brilliant Lee Cammy and Garry King!"
Fans however were not impressed and took to the comments section of the post to share their dismay. One wrote, "Oh I'm not going now, Katie price isn't there," as a second questioned, "Is Katie price not going anymore??"
A third attendee slammed the reasoning as they posted, "Urgent obligation' what a load of bs," while another social media user quipped, "WHERE IS MS PRICE GONE?"
Attendees of Barnsley Pride faced the same disappointment when Katie and Kerry pulled out with a Facebook post reading, "We sincerely apologise to all our visitors who are looking forward to joining us for our Barnsley Pride 2025 events.
"Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, Katie Price will no longer be headlining our Funny Gals Main Stage / After Dark Official Pride Afterparty. We want to make it clear that this is beyond our control and that we are genuinely disappointed, as we were very excited to have her as part of our line-up of amazing acts."
The organiser's statement continued, "Additionally, the original headliner, Kerry Katona, also had to cancel due to personal reasons. The entire team here at Funny Gals shares in this disappointment, and we deeply regret any inconvenience or disappointment caused."
Back in May Katie and Kerry also cancelled their entire "tell all" tour, which had been scheduled to visit venues around the UK. An Evening With Katie Price & Kerry Katona was given the axe when Katie was reportedly prevented from committing due to her "busy schedule."
A source told The Sun, "Katie is gutted and tried everything she could to make it work but she has had to step away from the tour because she has childcare commitments and also a very busy schedule."

Gregg Wallace's Masterchef behaviour is branded 'disastrous' by former winner
Janet Street Porter has branded Gregg Wallace's excuse for his behaviour on MasterChef as 'disastrous' - and compared him to another BBC star in the process Janet Street Porter has labelled Gregg Wallace's justification for his conduct on MasterChef as "disastrous". The 60-year-old TV personality was dismissed from the popular BBC programme following an inquiry that upheld 45 out of 83 accusations levelled against him. The allegations ranged from unwelcome physical contact to instances of inappropriate undress. While Gregg has since expressed regret, he firmly maintains that he is "not a groper, a sex pest or a flasher". Following the launch of the investigation, Gregg disclosed his autism diagnosis. He criticised the showrunners for failing to "investigate my disability" or safeguard him from what he now perceives as a "protect me from what I now realise was a dangerous environment". In a chat with The Sun, he admitted: "I know I struggle to read people. I know people find me weird. Autism is a disability, a registered disability." He further attributed the claim that he "never wears pants" to his autism, explaining: "It's not sexualised. It's hypersensitivity - that happens with autism." However, Janet Street Porter, 78, took issue with Gregg's defence during her appearance on Times Radio. She drew parallels between the MasterChef probe and an investigation into allegations made against Russell Brand. Earlier this year, the BBC issued an apology after examining eight complaints about the former 6 Music presenter. Of these complaints, two were lodged during his tenure at the corporation. Former Celebrity MasterChef winner Janet has spoken out, saying: "Back then anybody working class, first of all you were regarded as a bit thick. He has no justification, his justification for everything has been disastrous, absolutely disastrous." She continued to draw parallels with another celebrity, stating: "He's exactly like Russell Brand, he's in his own world and they just do not see it. They do not see it. There's plenty of people like that." The BBC parted ways with both Gregg and his ex-colleague John Torode following an inquiry into their behaviour on MasterChef. The investigation, led by law firm Lewis Silkin, found merit in a complaint alleging John used racist language eight years prior. John however denies the allegation, and says he has "no recollection of the alleged incident and does not believe that it happened". Speaking in the immediate aftermath of his "sacking", John said: "Although I haven't heard from anyone at the BBC or Banijay - I am seeing and reading that I've been 'sacked' from MasterChef and I repeat that I have no recollection of what I'm accused of. He expressed disappointment over how the situation was handled, adding: "The enquiry could not even state the date or year of when I am meant to have said something wrong. I'd hoped that I'd have some say in my exit from a show I've worked on since its relaunch in 2005, but events in last few days seem to have prevented that." Despite the controversy surrounding Gregg, the BBC has announced that the new series of MasterChef will still be broadcast next month. A BBC spokesperson stated: "After careful consideration and consultation with the contestants, we have decided to broadcast the amateur series of MasterChef on BBC One and BBC iPlayer from 6 August. MasterChef is an amazing competition which is life-changing for the amateur chefs taking part. The focus of it has always been their skill and their journey." The broadcaster acknowledged the complexity of the decision, saying: "This has not been an easy decision in the circumstances and we appreciate not everyone will agree with it. In showing the series, which was filmed last year, it in no way diminishes our view of the seriousness of the upheld findings against both presenters. We have been very clear on the standards of behaviour that we expect of those who work at the BBC or on shows made for the BBC." The spokesperson continued: "However, we believe that broadcasting this series is the right thing to do for these cooks who have given so much to the process. We want them to be properly recognised and give the audience the choice to watch the series." The corporation has yet to make any announcement regarding the Christmas or celebrity versions of the programme.
