Fresh blow for Katie Price as her ‘adults only panto’ fails to sell hours before she hits stage with 90s TV legend
KATIE Price was dealt another blow this week after her ‘adults only panto’ failed to sell out.
The 46-year-old is set to hit the stage with 90s TV legend Bobby Davro this weekend but many tickets have been left unsold just hours before the show is set to begin.
Katie will take to the stage in a special one night only performance of the pantomime Pinocchio on Sunday at Northwich Memorial Court.
The production which will star Katie and is described as a “Hilarious Easter panto with no strings attached.”
Copy Cats and Eastenders‘ star Bobby Davro is also joining the mum of five on stage for the x-rated production.
But, things are looking bleak as the venue still has huge swathes of seats left unsold, with just hours to go before show day.
Seating charts on the ticket booking site show large sections of empty chairs up for grabs – and they’re going for the bargain price of £24 each.
Katie has had a hard run in when it comes to pantos – back in January the star was called out for “not knowing” the choreography to her routine in Cinderella.
The Sun previously exclusively reported how the glamour model was being paid a five-figure salary for her role as a wicked step sister, alongside best pal and reality TV star Kerry Katona, 44.
She landed the £50,000 payday for teaming up with the Atomic Kitten songstress for the production – which was also held at Northwich Memorial Court.
Yet Katie, who has previously showed off her singing skills while sporting her character’s polka dot frock, has come under fire following a recent performance.
A video posted to TikTok showed the I’m A Celeb decked out in her panto attire and was captioned: “Seeing Katie Price sing A Whole New World as part of the Northwich pantomime was not on my 2024 bingo card.”
One fan was quick of the track – which Katie released with ex husband Peter Andre, 51, in 2006 – to reply: “Bad singing is mandatory in panto so it doesn’t surprise me.”
One said: “Wow did she even rehearse?”
Another cruelly put: “Omg she’s like a screeching cat Kate can’t sing.”
Another commented on a video showing a separate part of the show and focussed on her dance skills, as they put: “Katie getting the choreography wrong, an icon!”
One then mused: “Is it bad to say that she doesn’t look like she knows any of it?”
Katie also came under fire from panto bosses early into her theatre stint.
She was then seen parking in a disabled bay at the venue with no badge, yet then revealed it was because she had eldest Harvey in the car, who suffers from complex needs.
Harvey later joined her on-stage in a sweet surprise for fans.
And while she has taken flack from some fans, others have loved her panto stint in mid Cheshire.
