Katie Price’s appearance on Good Morning Britain this morning sparked a fierce debate after Susanna Reid asked the 47-year-old model about her noticeable weight loss. While Katie had agreed to answer any question, many viewers were left stunned by Reid’s direct inquiry, accusing both her and ITV of being “disrespectful.”
As the interview unfolded, Susanna voiced concerns about Katie’s physical appearance, stating, “You are very, very, very skinny.” While Susanna’s comment may have come from a place of concern, it quickly raised eyebrows among fans, some of whom felt it was inappropriate for such a sensitive topic to be addressed live on national TV.
Katie, visibly open to the conversation, explained that she’s been losing weight recently and has sought medical help to understand the cause. “I’m on Mounjaro, Ozempic…” she revealed, indicating she was trying weight-loss treatments. However, after visiting her doctor, Katie confirmed that despite online rumors, her blood tests indicated she wasn’t using Ozempic. Instead, she’s been battling iron deficiency, though the exact cause of her weight loss remains unclear.
But the live TV discussion quickly turned into controversy as viewers voiced their disapproval online. “Imagine Susanna saying that to Katie Price. That is disrespectful,” one fan wrote. Another added, “Saying that on national TV is not the right approach.”
Others, however, backed Susanna, stating that some topics need to be addressed, especially with public figures. “Nope, some things need to be said,” one user argued in support of the interview.
Is Good Morning Britain Exploiting Katie’s Struggles for Ratings?
Criticism of the interview didn’t stop at the content of the conversation. Several viewers questioned whether ITV should have allowed Katie to take part in the segment at all. “Katie Price needs help, not media coverage,” one person stated. Another fan accused GMB of trying to boost viewership by exploiting Katie’s personal issues, calling it “disgusting.”
One viewer tweeted, “Surely @ITV has some sort of duty of care. Katie clearly has problems, yet they’re using this for ratings.”
Was the Interview Too Short? Fans Demand More Time for Katie
Despite the backlash, some fans expressed their support for Katie and called for a longer interview. “We needed a longer interview! GMB, get Katie back on!” one user tweeted, while another sent well wishes: “I hope Katie has finally found her happiness. Good luck to her.”
While the interview left many viewers questioning ITV’s handling of the situation, one thing is clear—Katie Price’s journey is far from over, and fans are invested in seeing what happens next.
