Katie is about to star in Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins on Channel 4.
She took to Twitter to promote the show, which premieres on Monday, April 20 at 9pm.
Addressing her some 1.9 million followers she tweeted a video teaser to the upcoming competition show.
‘I’m sorry Anna’
One user clearly took offence to the promotion and in a now-deleted tweet posted: “Oh god here we go, there’s a world crisis going on with hundreds of thousands dying, but Katie Price thinks life is all about her! Selfish [bleep].”

Katie was clearly irritated by the claims and subsequently hit back vehemently. She argued that television was an excellent way to encourage people to stay at home.
She therefore replied: “I’m sorry Anna for being so selfish and encouraging people to #stayhome and watch a tv show that provides some light relief from everything going on.”
And it seems like Katie’s army of loyal fans very much have her back.
