Katie Price has admitted she was going through "dark times" during her stint on Loose Women, declaring she wouldn't go back if she was ever asked.
The former glamour model was a panellist on the ITV lunch time chat show between 2015 and 2018, when she was going through significant upheaval in her private life. Mum-of-five Katie, who has previously said she felt like a "performing seal" during her time on the ITV show, has revisited her experience on James Phelan's podcast How To Be Famous.
Speaking to magician Phelan, who is a nephew of the late Paul Daniels, Katie said: "When I think of me on Loose Women I don’t get a good feeling in my belly from it. Because I look at it and think no I no that was dark times for me so I haven’t got a good feeling about Loose Women in my belly.
"So if they ever asked me to do it my answer would be 'No thank you'." Katie, 42, added: "Yeah so to not against the girls or anyone, its I just don’t want to do it."

ITV)It's not the first time Katie has said about the impact of working on Loose Women, saying she felt as though the show let her "perform like a seal" when she wasn't mentally well.
Speaking with Annie Macmanus on her Changes podcast, Katie said in 2021: "I was doing Loose Women for two years. When I look back at that it makes me feel sick. Because those two years were bad – bad, bad, mentally. Bad bad bad. But I still went out there and put on a brave face. I look at it and think, 'Oh my god'. I look at my eyes on it and think I look dead in my eyes because all the drama came out."
She added: "I feel like saying to them: 'You had me on your show when I was at my illest. But now I am fresh you wouldn't offer me that back again. I am not saying they wouldn't but they wouldn't at the minute. And I feel like saying. This is me now. You'll get the best out of me now.
"You had me at my worst. You had me when mentally I was really going through it. Which is weird because some people wouldn’t have you on the show like: 'No you are not well enough'. In fact I wasn’t well. I wasn’t well but I was still able to perform like a seal."
"I was afraid to (tell anyone)," Katue added. "I would just brush it off. I am fine. Look this has happened again and this has happened. Every time we had our morning meetings: I would always come in with another drama. They were like: 'Oh my god Kate, it’s just exhausting.' And I would sit there thinking. I know. Can’t one of you just say: 'Kate are you alright?' It is like I am trying to say can someone ask if I am alright.”
