Katie Price cancels launch of her TV show and blames ‘illness’ for no-show

KATIE Price failed to turn up to the launch of her reality TV show after telling fans she'd "fallen ill" today.

The mum-of-five, 41, was supposed to attend the screening of Quest Red series My Crazy Life in London but later tweeted saying she was under the weather.

She wrote :"Thankyou for everyone who attended my press screening of this morning.

"Apologies to everybody for my absence I am unwell but I am sure you will all enjoy the new series Thankyou for being understanding."

However, a source close to the star told The Sun Online that Katie was feeling rough after a "big night out" with her bodyguard Neil Tawse on Monday.

An insider said: "Katie was in the pub yesterday lunchtime with her friend Neil, who fans of My Crazy Life will recognise as her security.

"She had a few drinks and they were talking for ages.

"She ended up having a big night and wasn't feeling well the next day."

Katie and Neil both posted pictures and videos from their pub trip on Instagram, with the reality star also sharing a snap of her daughter Bunny cuddled up to the security guard.

She wrote: "Bunny having cuddles with uncle Neil."

The pair have pals since Katie was a youngster - and the ex glamour model often calls Neil her "best friend".

But despite claims of a boozy night out, Katie's publicist insisted the star wasn't nursing a hangover - and simply woke up feeling poorly.

Katie's no holds barred reality show My Crazy Life will return to screens on July 15.

The new trailer - released today - sees Katie confess she "hates her body" during a frank chat with her mum Amy.
