Yet Katie, 45, has been called out by her own cast amid her whopping £60K payday for the role.

Her co-star Bippo, dressed in a pink and yellow spot shirt with a matching pink headband, spoke directly to a camera on stage as he warmed up the crowds.

He said: "This is the show starring Katie Price, she's amazing"

"She's actually learned two of her 25 lines - it's fantastic," before bursting out laughing.

Making clear his remarks were just banter, he added: "I'm joking, you'll see her.

"She is absolutely amazing."

Yet there might be some truth to the suggestions, as Katie herself told how she hadn't learned all the panto songs - because she found them "insulting."

Discussing the show's songs with sister Sophie on their The Katie Price Show podcast, Katie admits she's not a fan of the music.

She explained: "I'm not from the West End, right, and these songs aren't singing, they're more like talking.

"I don't know how to learn it. It's not even the kind of music I would listen to."

Sophie then cracked up as she revealed bosses had told her that they gave Katie songs suitable for her vocal ability.

Fans have previously slammed the "absolute disgrace" of a show - and suggested Katie's family must be "embarrassed."

Despite the mum-of-five's best efforts, some audience members had nasty things to say about her.

A video of her dancing out of time for the opening night prompted critical comments from fans.

One wrote: "Maybe, just maybe Katie Price could learn the routines. She was an absolute disgrace.

"Clear to see how hard the other cast members have worked .. very clear she thinks she can rock up making zero effort!!!"

Another added: "Lol you hardly had any words, did no rehearsing and Bippo acted you off the stage.

"Good work you can’t sing or act - your family must be so embarrassed."

Meanwhile, off-stage, Katie was spotted grabbing a McDonalds take out with on-off fiance Carl Woods, suggesting the pair are giving their relationship another go.
