Katie Price’s appointment to the ‘Loose Women’ panel was always guaranteed to bring the shock factor, but she’s insisted there has only been one instance where she’s been given a telling off from bosses.
In an exclusive interview with HuffPost UK, we asked Katie whether her candid nature on the panel had landed her in hot water with producers, but she said she’d managed to keep herself in check.
At the photocall for her new autobiography, we asked Katie if she’d been “in trouble” with bosses during her time on the show, to which she revealed: “Only once. Not in trouble, but we were talking about Gwyneth Paltrow or whatever her name is... she’s got these sex toys out and we were talking about some lube that she had.
“So I said, ‘who needs lube when you can just spit?’... and then in my ear, ‘Oh, Kaaaaate!’
She added: “But they know what I’m like, they booked me for it so they know that I keep them on their toes. I do have to reel it in, though, trust me. With my filthy mind.
“I still wind them up before I go on, though. In my earpiece thing I’ll go, ‘oh I’m in a naughty mood’, and they’re like, ‘oh no, don’t start’.”

We also quizzed Katie about life on ‘Loose Women’, during which we asked about which of her fellow panellists she has the strongest bond with.

She admitted: “I’m not just saying it, I actually get on with all of them. There’s not one that I don’t get on with, or one that I feel funny about.
“Janet Street-Porter, I love her. She wants to take me out on a night out. She will corrupt me, there’s no way I could corrupt her. I could corrupt anyone, but not her.”
Our request for an invitation to the aforementioned night out was met with polite laughter, which we’re taking as a definite yes.
Katie Price’s new autobiography, ‘Reborn’, goes on sale on Wednesday, 22 September.
12 Stars You'd Forgotten Were 'Loose Women'
Karren Brady(01 of12)

Long before she was answering to Lord Sugar, The Apprentice star Karren was letting loose on the ITV daytime show.
She was one of the original line-up of ladies, appearing on the first episode in 1999.
And while her stint was short-lived, ending just a year later, Karren returned to the panel for an anniversary special in 2017, along with the rest of the women who appeared on that very first show. (credit:REX)
Kerry Katona(02 of12)

Back when she was Kerry McFadden (those were the days, eh?), the Atomic Kitten singer appeared as a panelist between 2003 and 2004.
She was only 23 when she joined the show, making her the youngest Loose Woman regular ever, and her sometimes naive outlook on life meant she often clashed with Sherrie Hewson, providing many hilarious moments. (credit:REX)
Nina Wadia(03 of12)

She's best known for playing the opinionated Zainab Masood in EastEnders, but Nina offered up plenty of opinions of her own when she appeared as a series regular between 2005 and 2006. (credit:REX)
Gillian Taylforth(04 of12)

Another EastEnder who graced the Loose Women panel was Gillian Taylforth – better known as Walford's Kathy Beale.
The actress enjoyed two stints as a Loose lady, first in 2006 and again in 2008. (credit:REX)
Cilla Black(05 of12)

While the late Cilla will be remembered for her huge TV hits Blind Date and Surprise Surprise, her last regular TV gig was actually as a Loose Woman.
She appeared first as a guest anchor in 2009 and was invited back as a regular panelist between 2010 and 2011, returning for a final appearance in 2014. (credit:REX)
Sarah Millican(06 of12)

In our humble opinion, Sarah's tenure as a Loose Woman was simply not long enough.
The comic only appeared as a panelist for less than a year in 2011, before leaving to concentrate on her stand-up career. (credit:REX)
Beverley Callard(07 of12)

While Kym has recently enjoyed a few turns as a guest panellist, many have forgotten her original stint as a regular on the show in 2005, back when she sported an interesting (if that's the right word?) set of hair extensions. (credit:REX)
Claire Sweeney(09 of12)

The former Brookside actress enjoyed over two years on the panel back in 2003, and later returned for six episodes in 2010, and a further two in 2012. (credit:REX)

Sheree was a welcome addition to the panel in 2006, after she finished playing Emmerdale's much-loved Tricia Dingle. While she left in 2007, she later returned as a guest panellist for an episode in 2015. (credit:REX)
Claire Richards(11 of12)

After the departure of many of Loose Women's biggest names in 2013 and 2014, Steps singer Claire made a string of guest appearances. She impressed bosses so much, she was soon promoted to a regular.
However, a massive revamp of the show in the September of 2014 saw her leave the show with no explanation. (credit:REX)
