The glamour model has only been in the jungle for five days, but the public have already voted for her to do a string of ghastly 'Bushtucker Trials' on the ITV reality show.
And it may be they are enacting their revenge after being forced to wade through endless headlines about her split from her ex-husband, singer Peter Andre.
In the live section of tonight's show, Miss Price looked dismayed when she learned she would have to take part in her fourth bushtucker trial on Friday night.Relatives of the star have now said they believe viewers are punishing her because of her outrageous antics during a high-profile divorce from Andre.
Miss Price has now endured three trials and is set to attempt a fourth one in Friday's episode. On last night’s show, she said: 'I’m absolutely ready to leave camp.'
She said she was pining for her children, severely-disabled son Harvey, seven, her son with footballer Dwight Yorke, alongside son Junior, four, and daughter Princess Tiaamii, her children with Andre.The brunette, who had been covered in cockroaches and bugs, forced underwater in a pond full of larvae and through dark tunnels infested with rats for her challenges, insisted: 'I’ve had enough.
'I miss my children. I’m hungry. I want a nice bed and I don’t want to have to put myself through these horrible challenges. I don’t like it.'
Earlier this week she suffered a panic attack after crawling through the tunnels. Yet she was also picked for another task which involved her swimming through a pool of baby crocodiles as well as a live trial on Wednesday night.
Giving her thoughts on being picked again, she said: 'I think the public want to give me a bad time.
'You can’t take it personally even though it’s hard not to. They’ve seen me battered for the last 3 or 4 days. Let someone else have a go.'
Katie's mother, Amy, and brother Danny yesterday likened her treatment to someone being stoned to death in ancient Rome.
Speaking on ITV1's This Morning, Danny said: 'She has this façade of being very strong, controlling, not showing any emotion, but there is a side to her that's very vulnerable and insecure.'
Asked about Katie constantly being chosen to take part in the Bushtucker Trials, her mother said: 'It's very painful but we told her 'you know you're going to get every trial.
'It's like let's stone them, it's like the gladiators. They're taking out their spite on her.'
Wednesday's trial saw Miss Price trying to retrieve a number of stars with her teeth, the first from a pool of gunk and the second from a tangle of mealworms.
She then had to retrieve objects hidden in a sphere of snakes, dive into a pool of baby crocodiles, drink a glass of 'beetlejuice', put her hands in gloves filled with ants and then pick up live eels.
Earlier in the week she had to be lifted out of a dark tunnel after a gruelling bushtucker trial in which she had to crawl through a series of rat and cockroach infested tunnels in the dark and collect stars to win food for the rest of the camp.But when the small space was flooded with water, the model - who suffered a swimming accident as a child - panicked, and shouted to be pulled free.
She was close to tears and shaking when she came out and hyperventilated as medical staff tried to calm her down.
Meanwhile, the star also talked about ex-husband Peter Andre on the show.
Fellow contestant Justin Ryan said: 'One of the hardest things about splitting up with Peter and it must be so much more difficult for you is the division. Camp Katie and Camp Peter.'
Katie replied: 'I don’t know who started all that. It’s pathetic. We’re both human beings. So many people get divorced. So many people every day, you know.'
When Justin suggested that it would be good if the two could remain friends she replied: 'I’d love that. I’d absolutely love that. If I had it my way. It’s nice for the kids to have both their parents and both get on.'
Sam Fox said that she hoped that the couple would end up talking for the children’s’ sake. 'It will happen,' added Price. 'It’ll probably take a few years.'
Also in Thursday's episode, the camp were split into two groups in a battle for Base Camp.
The winning team would be excluded from the first vote off and live in the relative luxury of base camp, while the others would be forced live in Exile and over the next few days will have to compete in Bush Battles.
The winner of each day’s Bush Battle would have immunity from the first vote off and will return to live in Base Camp.
With the two teams chosen, they all stood on wooden platforms underneath buckets holding poles pressed against a button on the bottom of the bucket.
One false move and the contents would be released and that celebrity eliminated.One by one, each celebrity was eliminated before Sabrina Washington was declared the winner.
With team leader Colin, Sabrina and her teammates Justin, Katie, Jimmy and Joe returned to Base Camp which had been transformed into a relative jungle paradise.
Katie enthused: 'I’m so relieved. It’s like returning home.'
The camp had been transformed, furnished with camp chairs, pillows for the beds, dressing gowns, firewood and purified water.
The group were thrilled to learn they would have additional food delivered that night and found chocolate and cold beers in the caravan.
Meanwhile, Lucy led her losing teammates Gino, Stuart, George, Sam and Kim to the Exile camp, which was nothing but a simple clearing with one log and one bed.
The camp contained only the bare essentials and the camp mates were horrified to see rats running around.
Ex-Hollyoaks actor Stuart even managed to catch one and place it outside of their clearing.
Queen of Clean Kim was disgusted and declared 'I couldn’t take much more of this filth.'
