Katie Price has hit back at a cruel troll after they branded her a ‘selfish b***h’ for promoting her new show SAS: Who Dares Wins amid the COVID-19 crisis.
The former glamour model, 41, tweeted a trailer on Friday for the upcoming series which starts on Monday at 9pm.
Yet one disgruntled Twitter user took offence to Katie’s message and accused her of being ‘selfish’ during the lockdown period.

They penned: ‘Oh God here we go, there’s a world crisis going on with hundreds of thousands dying, but Katie Price thinks life is all about her! Selfish b***h.’
Mother-of-five Katie then replied on Saturday morning, saying: ‘I’m sorry for being so selfish and encouraging people to #stayhome and watch a tv show that provides some light relief from everything going on.’
A number of her followers then rushed to Katie’s defence, prompting the troll to delete their tweet.

The former I’m A Celebrity star took part in the show having recently undergone breast reduction surgery, leaving her physically struggling, and she ended up dropping out after 48 hours.
She also took part having gone through relationship strife, financial worries and recently learning of her mother’s cancer diagnosis.
She said ahead of the series launch: ‘I was going through a bad time mentally before I did this show. You will all find out what was going on.

‘Since doing the show, for my mental health and stuff, being fit, I am actually so much fitter now than when I did the show.
‘What I mean is because of my boobs physically – you will see some of it – that I shouldn’t have done it. I lied to myself.’
Katie admits she feels a lot better now and is physically fit again.
The ex-glamour model insists she would seize the opportunity to take part in another series in the future and take a second stab at the survival reality show.
It sees celebrity recruits living together in a derelict farmstead on the remote Scottish island of Raasay as they tackle a series of brutal challenges.

Moreover, Jack Maynard – who was kicked off the 2017 series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! due to historical offensive tweets will also be competing.
Ant said: ‘If these celebrities turn up with an ego, they won’t last 24 hours. There are no short cuts, there are no easy options.
‘They think they know what’s coming but trust me, they are going to get the absolute shock of their lives.’
Wayne Bridge was crowned the first winner of the celebrity version of the show last year, beating cyclist Victoria Pendleton and TV stars Sam Thompson and AJ Odudu.
