'HATERS GONNA HATE, KATE!'
Paul Potts, Cami Li and Anton Stephans voice their support for Katie Price after she uses the N-word on This Morning
KATIE Price has been supported by numerous celebs following her double N-word outburst on This Morning.

She went on to repeat the word three more times in an online response to the backlash, as she continues her campaign to make online bullying a criminal offence.
But not everyone found Katie's use of the word offensive, and plenty of her famous admirers have rushed to her defence.

Former CBB housemate and US model Cami Li posted a string of tweets during online arguments with Katie's critics.
She began by writing: "Oh no, the world is coming to an end!
"It's the harsh reality she & her son deal with. Good on her for letting the public know."
However, she later appeared to contradict herself, admitting that bullies "have no right" to say the N-word.

Elsewhere, the first ever Britain's Got Talent winner - opera singer Paul Potts - laid down two tweets about how "context" justified Katie's use of the word.
He wrote: "After all @MissKatiePrice wasn't using the word against anyone, simply telling what is being said to her son. It's called context."
Katie merely "recited bullying her son is receiving", according to Paul, who released his last album in 2014 after winning the show with his powerhouse performance of Nessun Dorma back in 2007.

And Anton Stephans, a former X Factor contestant who made the 2015 live shows, sent Katie his "love and support", while deciding not to use the N-word himself in his tweet.

Katie, who is married to former builder and one-time porn star Kieran Hayler, will soon star in another of her own TV shows, called My Crazy Life.
