Katie Price is reportedly in early talks to take part in Strictly Come Dancing after openly saying she’d love to take part.

Sources have claimed the reality star, 42, is in the ‘early days’ of discussing a stint on the show later this year, despite admitting she has ‘two left feet.’

Katie has said she’d love to take to the Strictly dancefloor as far back as 2015, after her ex-husband Peter Andre competed on the show that same year.

A source told The Sun: ‘It’s really early days but she’s in talks with bosses. She always jokes she’s got two left feet but she would love to do it.’

Katie’s representative also told the publication that the star is ‘open to negotiation,’ adding: ‘Katie is absolutely open to Strictly talks, showing off her fancy footwork with a sassy Pricey Tango.’

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Katie Price and Strictly Come Dancing for comment.

Back in 2015 Katie said she’d be open to competing on Strictly Come Dancing, following her triumphant appearance on Celebrity Big Brother.

During an interview on This Morning, the former glamour model said: ‘Do you know what? I’d love to do the show – but they’ve never asked! So I’ll stir the pot up and say, ‘If it’s true, give us a call!”

Katie – who has previously appeared on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! – was first linked to Strictly in the weeks following her victorious stint on CBB 

A source said at the time: ‘Kate’s back to her reality TV best so she is bound to capitalise on her newly-found form.’

Katie saw her odds slashed on being chosen for the ballroom dance show immediately after she left the reality show house.

The source added: ‘She made a big deal of being herself in the CBB house and came across as a very normal mum. So I expect ‘Strictly’ will be a favourite, as it would allow her to continue in that vain. 

It comes after Katie enjoyed a socially-distanced reunion with her terminally-ill mother Amy, who has idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, as they saw each other for the first time in ten weeks.

She brought her eldest child Harvey, 18, along while her beloved parent was joined by her husband Paul at their home.

Despite being separated by a fence, the group made the best of the ‘bittersweet’ meeting by engaging in a lively conversation after UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson lightened the laws on the nation’s coronavirus lockdown.

Amy, who was diagnosed with the condition in 2017, grinned from ear-to-ear as she relished in the rare company of her loved ones.

Of the reunion a source close to Katie told MailOnline: ‘Being such a close knit family it has been odd not being able to be physically greet one another. 

‘Katie is as many others in their situation still very cautious – it is the new normal and how life is going to be for some time to come… Katie will be the first over to her mum’s when cuddle gate is over!’
