The glamour girl said she was leaving "with my head between my toes in shame" after being repeatedly chosen for stomach-churning bushtucker trials by the public.
She delivered a foul-mouthed rant after being picked to appear in her seventh trial.
She later told campmates she was leaving, adding that she did not need the money.
"I'll walk with my head between my toes in shame and I'll probably regret it, I feel sick for letting people down, I'm gutted myself I'm leaving."
As Katie walked out, Lucy Benjamin became the first celebrity to be voted out of the jungle.
Lucy took her exit well. After being told she had lost out to Samantha Fox and Gino D'Acampo in the public vote, she said: "I thought so. Someone had to go first. It's fine."
A spokesman for the show said there were "no current plans" to replace Katie.
In an interview after the show, the model said: "The whole place reminded me of Pete from the moment I woke up, the afternoon to the moment I went to sleep, every second it was Pete, Pete, Pete and although they were amazing, happy memories I had in there, I'd lie there and think those good memories are way gone but then I was still there with constant reminders of Pete, Pete, Pete, Pete.
"That was really, really hard to deal with because waking up in the mornings I'd wake up and look over and think Peter's going to be there and then I'd be like, course Pete's not going to be there, I'm not with Pete anymore."
Price indicated later that she had split up with cagefighter boyfriend Alex Reid.
When asked about their relationship, she said: "I'm not with him, no."
She added that her experience in the jungle had made her a happier person.
The model, who was reportedly being paid far more than any of the other contestants, is the second person to quit the show this series.
Dancer Camilla Dallerup left the show after just three days on medical advice after she struggled with exhaustion on the show.
