Katie welcomed three of the bald cats into her home back in October – despite being blasted by animal charities for doing so after a string of previous pets tragically lost their lives.
On her Snapchat page on Friday, the mum-of-five told how Doris had given birth, and has now revealed she’s swerved a holiday to the Isle of Wight to look after the new litter.
But she has since shared a tragic update about the babies, posting a video with the caption “sad news” alongside four emotional emoji icons.
In the clip, Katie told her followers there had been a death and said: “An update on the kittens, one unfortunately died.

“That’s the one wrapped in tissue, two hours after we fed it.
“Luckily I’m trying to help the kittens latch on to the mum, two are just about doing it but I’m having to put them on it, because they are so premature.
“As you can see how knackered I am, every two and a half hours through the day and through the night I’m feeding them for the mum.
“She’s a good mum, and then she keeps bringing one to the bed with her, she did that earlier, I think that was a sign to come and look in the box as one had died.”

She then panned the camera to new parent Doris, sitting on her bed, as she cooed: “Hey Doris, good girl.”
CHARITY BACKLASH
Katie forked out for Doris and two other cats last year.
She showed her affection for the trio, even pushing them around in a pram.
Yet, at the time, she could not escape backlash from charity PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).
They called for an injunction to be put in place, stopping Katie from owning pets completely.
Katie’s troubled pet history

One of Katie’s horses was killed on the A24 after it broke lose from its field. She announced the death on social media and said she was devastated.
February 2018

November 2018
Katie claimed the family’s pet chameleon, called Marvin, died from a broken heart after her children Junior and Princess moved in with her ex husband Peter Andre.
February 2020
Her Alsatian Sparkle lost her life after getting lose and being hit by a car. Katie posted the news on social media but was hammered by fans who called for her to be more careful.
July 2020
Fans rounded on Katie after her daughter Princess’s puppy Rolo suffocated. JRC Bullies who gifted the dog to Katie were furious and said: “We are heartbroken that this has happened as we told Katie not to leave a small puppy on its own. “We can’t believe that the puppy was left unattended as we had left strict instructions.”
November 2022
Katie came under fire after she revealed her pomeranian Sharon had been hit by a car and killed outside her Horsham home.
June 2023
Katie was slammed by PETA after her seventh pet was killed. She revealed her dog blade had been run over on the same stretch as road as her last dog Sharon.
October 2023
Katie had four Chihuahuas but in October she sold two of them for £2k each.
They had previously offered Katie £5,000 to stop buying pets, which she had not responded to.
PETA UK founder Ingrid Newkirk told The Sun: “If there was a way to file an injunction to stop this serial animal killer, PETA would do so, as this woman doesn’t care about the lives she wastes or listen to vital advice and is still treating live animals like stuffed toys: as disposable.
“If William Hill took totally tasteless bets, the odds would favour those betting on how little time this kitten has on Earth, given the hideous track record of animal deaths in Price’s custody. No one could call it ‘care’.”
The new additions to the family came just a few months after she revealed she had to put down her last “designer” cat, Frog, after being diagnosed with a neurological disease.
She had bought Frog in February for £1,200, naming him in a sweet tribute to her son, Harvey, who loves frogs, but came under fire months later when she shared a video of the pet wrestling with a dog.
Katie had eight pets die in just six years – including four dogs and a horse all getting hit by cars.
She has also given away pets, including an out-of-control Alsatian called Bear for attacking other animals.
