However, ticket company Eventbrite noted the event was cancelled.

A source told The Sun: “Katie was due to appear in Manchester to talk about her new book but they didn’t sell enough tickets.

“The decision was made to cancel it quietly. There will be some disappointed fans out there who really wanted to see her.”

Katie’s memoir details some of the most recent dramas in her life.

In the last five years alone, she was declared bankrupt twice, lost her Mucky Mansion and was involved in a horror car crash.

The mum-of-five blames the crash in 2021 on drinking alcohol and taking cocaine before getting behind the wheel after a call from daughter Princess, saying she wasn’t allowed to see her.

Katie admitted she’d “had some friends round for a few hours” on the night of the smash.

She said: “One of them had some coke on them and, yes, I had a little bit of it, probably a couple of lines, it wasn’t even a lot. I had some alcohol too.”

In the new book she also opens up about suffering a heartbreaking miscarriage while with her ex-fiance Carl Woods.

She also slams TV hosts Alan Carr and Graham Norton for “taking the p**s out of her” over the years when she was struggling.

Katie Price warns her book comes with a trigger warning

She said: “Graham Norton, Alan Carr… they would dress up as me after I’d been on, mocking me or my outfits or my hair. No-one called them out on it.”

Despite the challenges of the past few years, Katie is determined to look forward – insisting her financial issues are now sorted.

She told Channel 5 News: “I’m doing really, really good. I’ve learned a lot about myself, a lot about mental health and obviously being diagnosed with the severe ADHD, learnt a lot about that, which I wish I knew years ago.”

She continued: “It becomes noise in your head, and then you just can’t cope with it, you think there’s no light at the end of the tunnel and then that caused depression, then a breakdown, suicidal, ended up at the Priory.

“Then started to realise, get to the root of each trauma that I’ve had, knowing how to deal with it – doesn’t mean to say you forget it, but you learn to deal with them.

“I’m only human at the end of the day, and it takes a toll on you, and in a way, I’m not glad that it’s happened, but it’s happened and I know that I would never ever hit rock bottom again, because now I know how to deal with issues.”
