Katie Price and Kerry Katona hint at huge show return as they call Strictly ‘too snobby'
Katie Price and Kerry Katona have dismissed the idea of joining Strictly Come Dancing, claiming the BBC ballroom series is 'too snobby' for them.
The long‑time friends, who first met in the late 1990s and became close after appearing together on I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2004, are currently preparing for a nationwide tour this autumn.
While promoting the show, they reflected on their years in reality television and whether they might return to the jungle. It comes after Katie confessed that she has to use google maps to remind herself of her children's birthdays.
Katie, 47, said: 'Oh they'd never ask me. I didn't win it or anything. I mean, if I got offered the jungle, I doubt I would because I've done it twice. But if I did, it's the best show to do, I think.'
Kerry, 43, who won I'm A Celebrity in 2004, said she would be open to going back. 'I'd do it. Again, it's another adventure. I love the jungle,' she said. Katie added: 'That's what I mean - it is a good show.'
The pair joked that between them, they have ticked off nearly every major reality format. 'Both me and Kate have done every reality show,' Kerry said. 'We're the reality queens. We're part of TV history. When we did I'm A Celebrity, the ratings were the highest they'd ever had, and we were a part of that."
However, there is one they haven't attempted and that's BBC's Strictly Come Dancing. Kerry said: 'The only one we've not done is Strictly.'
'They would never have us,' Katie replied. 'They're too snobby - Strictly for us.'
Despite that, both admitted they would like the chance. 'I would love to do Strictly, I'm not going to lie,' Katie said. To which Kerry agreed: 'I would love to do Strictly.' Katie then teased her friend: 'But you can actually dance, so you'd be good at it.'
Kerry recalled her time on Dancing on Ice, calling it 'a great adventure' and 'a great memory', but Strictly remains an unfulfilled ambition.
The pair's upcoming tour, An Evening with Katie Price and Kerry Katona, will take them to 33 dates across the UK this autumn. The idea came after the success of their double act as Cinderella's stepsisters in an adult pantomime.
The tour will see the two share stories from their careers, answer audience questions and offer fans an unfiltered look into their lives after decades in the public eye.

Sugababes ‘honoured' to share same stage as Mariah Carey after headlining Pride
On Sunday, the English girl group closed the weekend of celebrations in Preston Park with a show full of throwbacks and synchronised dance moves. After taking to the stage, they said 'last night headlining was Mariah' before adding: 'It's a complete honour to be on the same stage.' Just like Carey on Saturday, the group told the audience that the LGBT+ community has always been the 'core' of their fanbase. Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhan Donaghy had the whole crowd bouncing as they closed the show with About You Now, despite some microphone issues. Buena seemed to struggle as she sang the introduction, with her vocals fading out, but the trio recovered well, bringing the curtain down on this year's Preston Park performances. The group referenced their 'long journey', having started when they were around 12 years old in 1998 before splitting and then regaining the name Sugababes in 2019. Images of each of them as kids flickered up on screen accompanied by a voiceover describing their story so far. 'We found our way back to each other,' Buchanan said. They almost forgot to sing their 2025 single Shook, starting the intro for the next song before doubling back, admitting they are 'not used' to having it in the set. According to the BBC, roughly 300,000 people were in Brighton over the weekend. Many of the acts across the weekend have made sure to remind their audience that Pride started as protest, with some making reference to Gaza and also transgender rights being rolled back in the UK. Drag queen Tayris Mongardi, who performed at Brighton Pride this weekend, told the PA news agency that Pride is about being 'present and vocal' while also having a 'good bloody time'. She said that while living and working in the UK is 'privileged' compared to other countries, it is still important to remember 'what we're fighting for'. The performer said: 'Look, we're so blessed in so many ways to have the privileges we do here versus other countries and whatnot but really like it is a protest and you do have to remember not only its roots and where it's come from but what we're fighting for. 'Yes I might be queer and of colour but I have so many trans brothers and sisters, siblings and we're watching their rights actually being taken away – it's about being present, being vocal.' Ms Mongardi has performed at every Brighton Pride since 2017, excluding the pandemic year, and now feels like she is 'part of the furniture' at the event, and said that Pride is about community. She added: 'Protect trans lives, protect black lives, and have a good bloody time you know, we're all fighting, we're all trying to get through the place but have a good time while you're doing it right?'
