Katie Price fans walk out of makeup masterclass after she arrives an hour late and leaves them waiting in the heat

KATIE Price fans walked out of her makeup masterclass last night after being left waiting in the heat for over an hour.

The 43-year-old had been due to begin her event in Birmingham at 4.30pm “sharp” but ended up arriving at 5.50pm.

Some exasperated fans, who had paid £80 to attend the intimate tutorial, gave up on the star.

Traffic hampered her 150-mile drive to Birmingham after she spent the morning trying on dresses with her bride-to-be sister Sophie in Worthing, West Sussex.

Katie arrived in pink fluffy slippers with her dog in a bag and her boyfriend Carl Woods.

The masterclass lasted one hour before Katie rushed back into her Range Rover and headed up to a scheduled appearance in Liverpool.

Those who did wait it out were happy with the event though.

Ethan Tarrier, 18, told : “It was absolutely amazing. She took so many photos with everyone, she’s so lovely to her fans. She’s such a lovely person.

“It wasn’t her fault, it was just the traffic, it is what it is. But I really did feel like I got good value for money. I got a goodie bag with false nails, a make-up brush and some sweets. She even followed me on Instagram! I almost cried and everything!”

Rachel Deakin, 31, attended with her mum Jill.

She said: “I’m here for Katie Price but I do love make-up. I’ve been a fan since I was about 12. I just love her as a person. When I was young I read all her books and even had her hair dryer. When she went in the jungle I just loved her even more.”

Jill added: “I bought her all the books and she read her autobiography in a day. She was just addicted.”

Corinne Smurthwaite from Gloucester travelled over an hour to see Katie and said: “I just think she’s so amazing, how she’s brought up Harvey from such a young age and what she’s had to put up with. We are similar ages and I’ve followed her since I was a teenager. She’s an inspiration.

“She’s been through a hell of a lot in her life but she’s still keeping her head above water. I’ve met her before at make-up classes, and she’s always so open and confident, happy to answer questions about make-up and her life. She’s great fun.”
