Tickets had already gone on sale for the weekend performances at Joe Longthorne Theatre.
However, The Sun can reveal the panto has now been axed by boss – with ticket holders left in the dark as to why the curtain never lifted.
An insider said: “The show has been quietly cancelled with no explanation.
“Fans aren’t sure whether it was down to poor ticket sales or another reason, but it’s all very strange.
“Katie is doing another panto now with her pal Kerry Katona though, so she won’t be out of pocket.”
Billed as ‘Blackpool’s outrageous adult panto’, tickets to see former glamour model Pricey were £26.
A teaser previously said: “This humorous adult panto is set to light up Blackpool’s North Pier for just 4 weeks, with shows on every weekend in October, to purchase your tickets head over to www.ticketsource.co.uk or call 01253 623304.”
Meanwhile, mum-of-four Katie will still appear in panto this year, alongside pal Kerry Katona.
This Christmas wicked step-sisters in a production of Cinderella at Northwich Memorial Court.
And the pair have already made history but smashing box office sales for the production.
A spokesperson for the theatre said: “Since our casting news broke earlier this evening, we have sold the highest number of tickets that we’ve ever sold in a single day during our last 14 years in Northwich!
“Book your tickets soon before the best seats go!

Katie Price’s missing millions
At the peak of her career Katie had an estimated fortune of £45m, thanks to her lucrative modelling career, book deals, and TV appearances.
The cash-strapped mum-of-five was first declared bankrupt in 2019 over unpaid debts of £3.2 million.
In a podcast interview earlier this year, she blamed her exes who include Peter Andre, Alex Reid and Kieran Hayler and lawyers for her money woes.
She insisted that funding her exes’ lavish lifestyles with cars, watches, luxury holidays and homes left her finances in tatters.
She added: “I went through a breakdown, this is how mine started – lawyers and exes, that is my bankruptcy thing.
“And obviously a bit of HMRC.
“When I had my breakdown, if anyone has been depressed… I don’t know if you’ve ever had depression.
“It starts with depression and you just want to sleep all day and not talk to anyone, the phone would ring and you wouldn’t answer it.’
In March, Katie was declared bankrupt for a second time over an unpaid tax bill of £761,994.05.
The demand for payment was made by HMRC last October.
Katie was due to give evidence about her finances at the High Court but failed to turn up – holidaying in Cyprus with her new man JJ Slater instead.
Her Mucky Mansion was a bomb site for years after it was burgled, flooded and swamped by an overflowing septic tank.
She finally moved out at the end of May and is renting a four-bed mansion in Sussex.
