Katie Price hits back at 'nasty trolls' as she's accused of asking for free swimwear

Katie Price hit back at "nasty trolls" on social media who are said to have accused her of asking fans for free clothing including swimwear, following one of her recent posts.

The former glamour model, 44, took to Instagram yesterday with a plea to her 2.7 million followers over being in "desperate need" of some more swimwear and underwear.

She posted a message to fans on the platform, providing her sizes and asking if anyone is able to get her some suitable options - though said she needs them in just over a week.

The reality TV star wrote: "Hi. I desperately need to find swimwear and underwear for myself." She added her sizes and then told fans: "Please do as need them in 10 days."

Katie said bikini tops would need to be XXL with bottoms sized 8 to 10. Additionally, she provided sizes for underwear, saying she would need a 34G bra with bottoms 8 to 10.

It's suggested that the call out on her Instagram Story prompted a backlash, most likely in her DMs, with Katie later uploading a follow-up statement in defence of herself.

She asserted in the second post: "Just for the record, I'm not asking for a free bikini [and] underwear as I have my own range and anybody who knows me knows I pay my way."

"So pile down you nasty lot of trolls. I'm asking as not many places do matching sets for big busts and small waists and I want more than just my own collection," she continued.

Her posts came amid the birthday of her son Junior Andre, 17, who was flooded with well wishes on social media. This included a message from her mother which paid tribute.

Taking to Instagram, his mum Katie wrote: "Happy birthday. I am so proud with the man you are becoming." She concluded her post by writing to him: "Love you so much."

There was also a birthday post issued by his father Peter Andre, 49 - who was married to Katie from 2005 to 2009 - with him describing his eldest son as a "great person".

Peter wrote in his post to Junior: "You are kind, you are humble, you are generous. You work hard and you study hard. You're a great brother and a great person.

"But the best part of all of this for me is that you are a great son. You are my son. And I'm proud in every way. Happy 17th birthday [Junior]," he further commented in the post.
