Katie Price says criticism 'bothers' her as she's cruelly trolled over new song
Katie Price has teased a new song despite previously being trolled for her vocal abilities, after admitting she'd wanted to be a popstar since she was a child.
The 45-year-old announced on Thursday that she'd be releasing a cover version of the 1986 hit, We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off by Jermaine Stewart, in just a couple weeks' time. Speaking on her podcast, The Katie Price Show, the former glamour model couldn't hold back her excitement as she treated listeners to a preview of the recording.
"This will be the first time anybody's heard the full song here," she said, before Sophie joins in to call it an 'Exclusive". Katie then plays about 30 seconds of the song, which is a ballad edition of the fast-paced original. When it's finished, Sophie commends the rendition as 'very good,' before encouraging her famous sister to perform it at their upcoming live podcast show.

While admitting she has always loved to sing, she struggles to pull off tracks that have not been written specifically for her. "What bothers me is, if a song is made for me, I can sing it," she said, noting that her renditions of Whitney Houston's music have often had her compared to the original songs of the late American superstar.
Katie has received strong criticism in the past for her musical pursuits, with many people claiming the former I'm a Celebrity star isn't vocally talented. "Katie, who has convinced you that you can sing because they need to be locked up. Listen, love, YOU CAN'T SING; you shout, screech, but you don't sing; you are obviously hearing something different to everyone else... stop, stop, stop," one particularly harsh commenter wrote. "She actually really thinks she can sing... she can't," another said.
