They say that you shouldn’t ask a question if you can’t take the answer. Maybe Katie Price should have thought about that, before she asked what her fellow campmates thought of her last night.
Katie asked the campmates what they really thought of her now they’d met her, compared to their preconceptions.
“Am I different to what you thought I would be like,” she asked.
Always honest, Kim Woodburn answered: “You are what I thought you’d be.”
“What, a bitch?” asked Katie smiling.
Kim replied: “You’re a publicity seeker. You live and die for publicity and you do it well. As Shakespeare once said, ‘We fear you protesteth too much.’”
“You said you escaped to come in here but you’ve got 12 million people watching you every night. I don’t get that. What I’m saying is you do publicity very well and you protest all the time but love it. You live it and dream it.”
Katie replied: “No, I used to love it.”
But Kim interrupted: “No, you’ve come into the jungle twice and you’re escaping and you’ve got 12 million people watch you every night and you know, you’ve been down a couple of times there [points to the shower] Katie, please, I’m too old for this. You’ve standing there because you’ve got a gorgeous body. You complain but you wouldn’t have it any other way darling.”
Katie responded: “It’s all I’ve ever known since I was 17.”
Kim replied “I don’t mind that darling but don’t pretend. Make as much money as you can. You’ve got a lovely body but don’t pretend that you hate it. You love it dear.”
She continued: “You came from the shower the other day and, as a woman of 67 I thought, ‘grow up.’”
“I love my job,” Katie interjected.
“Well please say you do. Don’t insult my intelligence,” Kim replied. “You went to the showers the other day – you know you’ve got a gorgeous body, you know, the men love it. I can imagine you’re in that shower doing all of this [Kim poses] knowing it’s all over the front of all the papers. You could just dip yourself in the pond just as well.”
“Actually, ask Camilla, I had my vest on,” replied Katie looking cross.
“Katie, you love it darling. You love it and I don’t blame you. For some reason you fascinate the papers. Go for it as long as you can but don’t pretend you’re not causing a lot of it please. Because you cause it all. And that’s telling you straight. You asked and I’m telling you. I’m not blaming you…but for some reason they love her. She may as well cash in and make all the money she can but I think if I had her looks I’d do it…but you love it.”
Kim continued: “Look at her little face, ‘I’ve come in here because I want some peace.’ You know full well you’ve got 10 to 12 million people watching every night and you know madam you’ll be all over the papers every day. Now stop it. Stop your nonsense.”
The other camp mates looked uncomfortable at Kim’s outburst.
Kim added: “We, as the British Public, I buy the papers every day. I think, ‘Jordan, what’s she up to now?’ My husband and I, ‘She’s dreadful isn’t she?’ You do draw us to you. Keep going. Maintain it and make all this money. You’d be a fool not to.”
Colin summed up the argument in the Bush Telegraph.
He said: “Suddenly lovely Kim Woodburn launched into a rant, a tirade, maybe even an attack on Katie. But it was about her…I’m trying to get away from it all. For some strange reason Kim decided to take her to task on that today in the way that only Kim Woodburn could do. Don’t cross Kim. She was criticizing Katie for making her life public and then complaining about it but at the same time she’s in here and in the jungle being watched by everyone. There are cameras everywhere, there’s no privacy so it’s not the place. She’s a model. If she was a man she’d be hailed as a business leader, she’d be on The Apprentice because she’s very focused, very business minded. Is it because she’s a woman and because she’s primarily used how she looks as her industry that people criticise her?”
