KATIE Price has stunned fans after revealing she's bought a new puppy – despite calls for her to be banned from owning pets completely.
The former glamour model, 47, took to her Snapchat page to showcase the tiny pooch cuddling on her shoulder as she told fans she was "so tired."
Katie's new arrival to the family comes against the backdrop of a petition designed at preventing her from being a pet-mum, which has reached more than 37,000 signatures.
It also came after her home life was thrown into chaos last month when her cat Doris had kittens, yet they became seriously unwell.
During her new short clip, Katie was seen wearing a white hoodie and propping herself up against the headboard in her bedroom.
The tiny puppy, with white and grey fur, appeared to be asleep as it sat perched by her side.
Katie did not initially address the new pet as she spoke to the camera and instead said: "This filter is so needed today, I am so tired."
In another slide, she spoke of her new family member purely to say: "And this little one just does not leave my side.
"I can't wait for him to meet Rookie, he's met all of the other animals.
"This is Rookie's new little friend for when we go horse riding, walks, everything."
She then posted the caption: "First time using a filter in ages."
Katie was recently slammed for allegedly putting black dog Rookie in danger as she headed on a horse ride.
It came just weeks after she was called out by an animal charity over a "dangerous" move which saw her dog hanging out of her car window.
PET PEEVE
Some fans will be hugely concerned by the fact Katie's menagerie is expanding.
A petition was previously created to stop Katie from owning animals amid concern for their welfare in her care.
Katie Price - court battles
KATIE Price has had her fair share of brushes with the law. Here we detail four of those:
- December 2021: Katie avoided jail for flipping her BMW in a smash in Horsham, while under the influence of drink and drugs. She was instead handed a 16-week prison sentence suspended for a year, 100 hours community service and ordered to attend 20 rehab sessions.
- The cash-strapped mum-of-five was first declared bankrupt in 2019 in a bankruptcy court, over unpaid debts of £3.2 million
- Katie was declared bankrupt by a bankruptcy court for a second time in March over an unpaid tax bill of £761,994.05
- May 2024: Katie was served an eviction notice by the courts relating to her Mucky Mansion home following her second bankruptcy.
It came about after a number of complaints from fans over how she handles the multiple animals she has owned over the years.
Over the years, a number of tragic incidents involving Katie's pets have been revealed.
This includes her German Shepherd guard dog being killed after being hit by a vehicle on the A24, which was close to Katie's East Sussex home.
It happened just seven months after another of Katie's dogs, Sharon, was killed on the same road.
Katie's horse was also killed on the A24, after it broke free from her field.
In 2020, her French Bulldog Rolo suffocated after being squashed underneath a chair.
Katie also had to give away an out-of-control Alsatian, Bear, for attacking other animals.
It lead to leading animal charity PETA has made it clear bosses think Katie has got "blood on her hands" and should be served with a lifetime ban on keeping animals.
A small segment of her furious followers have then quizzed "how are you allowed to keep animals?" as they voiced their anger.
