Boy George issues defiant statement about Katie Price as he makes promise to fans

Boy George has leapt to the defence of Katie Price after the former model after she made an unexpected appearance on Louis Thereoux's podcast

Boy George has made a promise to fans after defending Katie Price.

It comes after the former model appeared on Louis Theroux's podcast where she opened up about her life and career – as well as shading her ex-husband, Peter Andre. During her chat with Theroux, she also reflected on her financial woes having been declared bankrupt on two occasions.

However, the appearance of the 46-year-old hasn't gone down too well with everybody online, with some claiming there had been "snobbery" when people questioned Louis' decision to interview Katie about her rollercoaster life and twenty years of working in the entertainment and modelling industry.

"One question… why Louis? Such a shame," said one follower. A second went on to add: "Scraping the very bottom of the barrel here Louis." A third referenced Katie's September 2021 crash which saw her overturn her BMW while under the influence of alcohol, with Katie previously telling police: "I took drugs, I should not be driving, I admit it all." A fan of Louis responded: "Drink drivers will never get my sympathy."

However, pop icon Boy George leapt to her defence in the comment section, saying: "I love Katie Price. She is a sweet person. I promise you." Many fans agreed with the musician who recently teamed up with Joe Conaboy on a new single. "Katie price is a great guest to have on I can't believe people are being snobby about it," said one. A second went on to add: "Everyone has a story to tell, I’m glad you give people that space."

"Love a bit of Katie, always unfiltered and calls things out," added a third. During her appearance on the podcast, Katie opened up about a party she attended with ex-Prime Minister Boris Johnson, where they dressed up as clowns. The unlikely duo attended a gathering in Italy as part of a group and stayed at the property of Russian-British businessman, Evgeny Lebedev. Katie labelled the evening "random" as she was joined by the likes of Dame Joan Collins, Johnson and his ex-wife, Marina Wheeler.

Opening up on the situation and her mixing with Johnson, Katie said: "We were all having a drink and that. Actually, we were talking about how I'd either go to his or mine for a roast dinner with his missus." She continued: "The Evgeny had this dressing up room upstairs and loads of fancy dress clothes and me and Boris went up and I think we both dressed as clowns...We was just all mucking about."

But Katie recently sparked confusion after announcing her twins were "finally here". She caused a stir when she uploaded an image showing two newborn babies on Tuesday. The photo shows one baby dressed in pink and the other in grey, but she didn't reveal their identities. With Katie's hand tenderly placed upon them, yet their faces out of view, speculation is rife over who these infants could be, especially since they are not related to her sister Sophie, who is expecting a single baby girl.
