Katie Price to keep singing despite flop

Katie Price has vowed to continue singing - despite her latest single being received as a chart flop.

The glamour-model-turned-reality-star said she would probably not promote her next release with a dance routine as she found it was "too much pressure".

Last week Price pulled the plug on a high-profile live music show at G-A-Y, just days after limping to number 60 in the singles chart with Free To Love Again, despite a whirl of interviews.

But the star, who conceded she is "not a Whitney Houston", told This Morning that she will be free to sing again.

Price, who has been busy promoting her new book Paradise, told presenters Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford: "I am going to bring out something again.

"The reason I didn't do G-A-Y is you have to do two songs - they wanted me to do two songs.

"And obviously because the book's out, I couldn't stress myself out to do another song and a dance routine, it was just too much pressure.

"I don't want to do music as a career, but I love singing.

"And I did that song, and I am going to do another song and I'll bring it out on iTunes. I'm not a singer but I love doing it."

Price continued: "My mum said: 'Kate, why are you doing it?'

"I'm like: 'Mum, because I want to do it and I can do it.'

"So I will, but I probably won't promote it, I'll just do it all digital because I want to do it."

Quizzed on speculation that she cannot sing, Price insisted: "I can sing, but I'm not a Whitney Houston or someone like that...

"But to me, getting on stage to try and do a dance routine, I have to mime because I just can't do it, it's just not for me."

Price scotched suggestions that her popularity is starting to wane.

She hit back: "I think it's absolute nonsense. My signings - I did one on Saturday for my equestrian range - it was absolutely packed, it was brilliant, it was fantastic.

"It's really weird, it's like they write rubbish about me but I think people come along because they're intrigued to think 'Is she really this bad? What is going on?'

"So actually no, not all, I can't wait to do my book signings. Everything's up, my books are selling really well. But you know, it's the dramas that the papers write."

Price went on to have a pop at her own enhanced image - comparing herself with a "chipmunk".

She said: "Do you know, on my Hen we all had filler, Botox, lip, and I said: 'No, I'm not doing it again!'

"They're like: 'Oh we did Kate', and I'm like: 'Oh go on, I'll have a little bit'.

"But when I had it done... it looked awful but it's all going down now.

"The thing is, it doesn't last forever which is good. But no, I still look like a chipmunk."

Asked what motivates her to undergo Botox, Price said: "It's not permanent. Yeah, no it's mad, but then I blame my friends and my family because we all did it."

Price denied she was addicted to the treatment, saying: "No, if you have the proper stuff, like I've seen some people who go too far... but the odd jab of Botox and that - it's like, everyone does it.

"It's so obvious what celebrities have had it these days, and they're like: 'Oh no, I'm natural'.

"It's absolute rubbish."
