Itβs not unfair to say that Katie Priceβs return to the world of music didnβt exactly get off to the best start.
Seven years on from her last foray into music, the oft-overlooked-but-still-iconic βFree To Love Againβ, Katie gave her first live performance of βI Got Uβ on βLoose Womenβ, which got mixed reviews, to say the least.
However, if thereβs one thing The Priceyβs been known for over the past 15 years in the public eye, itβs resilience. And sheβs not going to let a little thing like criticism of her new single get her down.
In fact, during one last promotional appearance on Thursday (29 June), it appeared sheβd appointed herself the new queen of the UK music sceneβ¦
Now that is what you call a crown. Watch your back Adele is all we can say.
Katie, of course, is no stranger to an outrageous photo-call, whether sheβs dressing up as a horse to flog her equestrian line or emerging from a giant egg to let us all know sheβs been reborn (we think thatβs what she was going for, anyway).
This time around, sheβs promoting her new track, penned by former βX Factorβ competitor Craig Colton.
When her βLoose Womenβ performance failed to wow viewers, Craig was quick to jump to Katieβs defence, while the woman herself also commented on the controversy: β[Iβm] living my dream, I canβt win if I sing live or mime but I donβt care.β
She later shrugged off the critics when she returned to the stage to give a rendition of βI Got Uβ on βBig Brotherβs Bit On The Sideβ.
