Day 17: Pricey - is the honeymoon over?
When she came into the House a week ago, Katie Price lifted the mood, diffused the arguments (to an extent anyway – she’s not a superhero) and made herself 11 new friends.
But it seems seven days is all it takes for the sparkle to fade. This morning has already seen Calum admit Pricey’s nomination of him, and her lack of self-censorship when it comes to intimate matters, is beginning to grate on him.
Well, it seems several housemates are following suit.
“Let’s make a pact, as of today, not to talk about your exes,” suggested Michelle. “You’ve said all there is to say, and then some.”
Pricey agreed. Sort of.
“But I’m alright to talk about Kieran,” she said, just moments later. “He’s not an ex.”
Seeing that her pep talk was falling on deaf ears, Michelle headed for the sofas, where Pricey was beginning to go a bit stale amongst Cami and Calum, whose relationship Pricey had recently been stirring up with the help of some rather explicit chat.
“People are done with it, and she’s going to get in trouble,” said Michelle.
Calum agreed, before sloping off to training in a Pricey-fuelled sulk.
“Oh my God, he did not seem happy,” noted Cami.
Also ready to hand back her membership of the Katie Price Fan Club was Alicia, who confided in Katie Hopkins mid-exercise about her changing opinion of Pricey.
“I did say I was going to wait and see who the real Katie Price is,” said Alicia, giving her one-time tabloid foe a fair chance. “But she did lie about me. She looked at the camera and said ‘Alicia wants to go home’ when I blatantly told her I wanted to stay.”
The other Katie was quick to unveil her own issues with her namesake.
“I don’t agree with talking to Big Brother in amongst talking in a conversation,” Katie Hopkins added. “I don’t like when she says ‘this, this and this, Big Brother please don’t mention that’ – I don’t like this constant consciousness. I find it peculiar.”
“My God, we’ve agreed on something,” Alicia exclaimed.
The tide may be turning when it comes to Katie Price, but Katie Hopkins and Alicia getting along as a result? That’s quite the silver lining.
