KATIE Price has been slammed for cancelling a charity gig as it turns out she partied at Chloe Ferry’s 30th birthday instead.
The mum-of-five had been booked to appear at Milton Keynes Pride – forcing organisers to slam her lack of “professionalism” when they had to find another headliner at the last minute.

Caiming she was “filming” and “in the studio” recording music, she posted pics on Saturday performing her song I Got U in Newcastle.
The former model, 47, had previously only performed her 2017 song I Got U at LGBT events when it was released in 2017, but the track saw a recent surge of popularity on TikTok.
Katie said last week: “I’m so sorry to announce – I’m supposed to be at MK Pride Festival next Saturday, and to be at the afterparty at Pink Punters. I’m not going to be able to make it.”
She continued: “I’ve got filming and obviously I’m in the studio recording my new track, so I will be there next year. I hope you have a fantastic time and I’m so sorry. It’s just my filming schedule at the moment…”
Katie brazenly shared photos and videos on Snapchat showing her travelling to Newcastle and practicing her “Jordy accent” with a pal.
She also posted videos Face Timing her son Harvey from the party and going clubbing after the bash.
A former fan told The Sun: “I was disappointed when she cancelled, but when it turned out to be Chloe Ferry’s birthday, I was infuriated. It’s not right.
“When she said she couldn’t do a charity gig because of filming, that was a load of b*****ks.”
Katie has a history of performing at Pride events, but also pulling out last minute.
In July, she was due to headline at Barnsley Pride but cancelled her performance just hours before she was due to be there.

Katie’s close pal Kerry Katona also pulled of the same event.
That same month, Katie cancelled her show at Glasgow Pride due to “another urgent obligation.”
Despite her recent Pride no-shows, Katie has long been a LGBTQ+ advocate and is widely popular amongst the community.
This year she has performed at Pride events in Dubline and Portsmouth and hosted a drag queen show at London’s The Clapham Grand in May.
Katie, who recently revealed she was undergoing tests amid cancer fears, posted a brief video on her Instagram apologising for cancelling on fans in Milton Keynes.
But organisers of MK Pride were not impressed and issued a scathing statement.
They said Katie had been “booked and promoted” for the official afterparty on September 13 which was a fundraising event as MK Pride was a non-profit entity.
“Despite repeated attempts of contact to fulfil this agreement, her management has confirmed she will not be honouring her booking,” the statement read.
“This decision was made at short notice and is entirely outside of our control.”
The statement continued saying MK Pride wanted to be transparent to its community and that while the LGBTQ+ community has “consistently supported” Katie, “it is deeply regrettable that this support has not been reciprocated.”
“Choosing not to meet her obligations to a charitable Pride event demonstrates a lack of accountability and professionalism, and we share in the community’s disappointment,” the statement continued.
