Katie Price exposes Janet Street-Porter’s shameful past

Viewers were left shocked at the revelation

Viewers were left stunned by Katie Price during an episode of Loose Women.

The mum-of-five suddenly hit out at 70-year-old co-presenter Janet Street-Porter for having spent time in prison.

It’s safe to say Janet isn’t shy about talking about her personal life, but the journalist was taken back slightly over Katie’s comment.

Katie and Janet, alongside Andrea McLean and Stacey Solomon, were discussing HMP Berywn in Wrexham where prisoners are given tennis courts, televisions and computer access.

The prison, which cost a whopping £212 million to put up, is set to open later this month and prisoners will be held in “rooms” not “cells”.

But their privileges don’t stop there!

The prisoners will also be allowed phones so they can ring their friends.

Despite Stacey and Katie arguing it’s unacceptable for these criminals to have such a pampered stay, Janet argued that prisoners should be integrated back into society.

But Katie then blurted out: “You’re forgetting something Janet.

“Haven’t you been in prison?”

As the audience were shocked at Pricey’s comment, Janet calming replied: “I haven’t been in prison, I’ve been in a police cell.

“But this is like five star in comparison.”

As the audience laughed, Janet went on to reveal that she had been arrested in the 1960s after her house was raided for drugs.

But the outspoken panellist stood by her opinion, saying: “If someone has been convicted of a crime, they need to be rehabilitated so they don’t do it again.

“They need to learn to read, write and integrate into society.

“We’re dealing with human beings, not dogs.”

Janet is definitely no stranger to speaking her mind.

And it’s landed her in some pretty awkward situations!

The star recently slammed singer Beyonce saying her pregnancy shoot looked like “a petrol station flower display”.

After the audience applauded the Halo singer for her announcement about expecting twins, Janet bit back.

She said: “Why are all applauding? A woman gets pregnant, it’s not a miracle, we all know how it happens.”
