Katie Price and Kerry Katona land eye watering fees for just 23 nights of work – amid Katie’s bankruptcy struggle
KATIE Price and Kerry Katona have landed eye watering fees for just 23 nights of work in panto, The Sun can reveal.
Pals Katie, 46, and Kerry, 44, are playing the wicked stepsisters in a production of Cinderella at Northwich Memorial Court later this year.
It was previously revealed news of their involvement led to new ticket sale records for the theatre.
And Katie and Kerry – who met during I’m a Celebrity in 2004 – have secured fitting salaries for less than a month’s work.
An insider told us: “Katie and Kerry have secured themselves really good deals to do panto this year.
“They understand how much they are worth together and have already sold 10k tickets, so are really earning their keep.
“They are getting significant pay cheques for the role and they will be getting exactly the same amount.”
Anton Benson, who is producing the panto, said: This is our 7th panto contract with Kerry and we are looking forward to working with her again and delighted to have Katie alongside her for the first time.”
After tickets went on sale earlier this month, the theatre posted a statement on social media.
It read: “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!
www.brioentertainment.org.”
Katie – who was declared bankrupt for a second time in May over an unpaid tax bill of £750,000 – revealed she was teaming up with Kerry in May.
Speaking on her podcast, she said: “I’ve signed up for Cinderella and I’m one of the ugly sisters – and guess who is the ugly sister I’m doing it with – it’s Kerry Katona!
“So Kerry got me the gig because she has been working with them for six years.
“And she was like ‘why don’t you come and do this panto’, and she said it was for the ugly sisters and I said ‘oh are we ugly then?’ and she said we can still be really pretty.”
Katie was first declared bankrupt in 2019 over unpaid debts of £3.2 million.
Earlier this year her Mucky Mansion was repossessed after she failed to meet payments for two mortgages on the sprawling pad.
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.

Heinz slammed over ‘cheap and vile’ change to recipe of family tea-time staple
HEINZ has been slammed by shoppers after making a major change to the recipe of a dinner staple.
Foodies have taken to social media furious after finding out the manufacturer has changed the ingredients to its baked beans with sausages.
The classic flavour now comes with Richmond sausages inside, which contain gluten, when the previous bangers didn’t.
A recent post on the Coeliac Sanctuary – Gluten Free Blog by Alison Peters Facebook page by one member highlighted the recipe change.
They captioned the post: “Heinz have for some reason decided to change the sausages in their beans and sausages.
“They have been gluten free for many years but this change means they now contain wheat.”
Hundreds have liked and commented on the post sharing their dismay at the change which means the beans are no longer coeliac-friendly, with one branding the move “cheap and vile”.
Coeliac disease is a condition where your immune system attacks your own tissues when you eat gluten.
Another shopper said: “This is a massive blow for the thousands of us in the gluten free community.”
A third commented: “Backwards move from Heinz UK no longer being gluten free.
“Being coeliac can be so tough and now got a little bit tougher not being able to pick up this quick and easy option.”
Meanwhile, a fourth added: “Oh no. This is going to cause mayhem for my two kids.
“I don’t eat beans or sausages so I’m unaffected by it but they will be so upset.”
Replying to one fuming customer on X, formerly Twitter, Heinz confirmed the original recipe of the beans had been discontinued.
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Heinz added: “We’ve updated our recipe to include the nation’s favourite sausage brand.
“We did this in response to resounding consumer feedback about the taste and texture of our sausages and informed shoppers of the change via on-pack labelling, marketing communications and through relevant allergen organisations.”
HEINZ DITCHING PRODUCTS
Heinz hasn’t just been discontinuing specific ingredients in recent months but products as well.
Shoppers were left baffled last month after finding out the manufacturer had axed Ploughman’s Pickle.
One disappointed customer, posting on X, said: “Why is Ploughman’s Pickle unavailable in the East Sussex area?”
Meanwhile, another added: “I am trying to buy Heinz Ploughman’s Pickle but can’t buy it anywhere.
“Has it been discontinued? I like it cause it’s gluten-free.”
In July, we also reported that Heinz had stopped producing its popular Piccalilli Pickle condiment.
A shopper noticed the pickle was missing from shelves and contacted Heinz on X to ask if it had been discontinued to be told by a spokesperson it indeed had.
The same shopper replied branding the move “a bad decision”.
It comes after Heinz also took its cream of tomato soup with a kick of chilli off sale and its tins of Organic Baked Beans.
Why are products axed or recipes changed?
ANALYSIS by chief consumer reporter James Flanders.
Food and drinks makers have been known to tweak their recipes or axe items altogether.
They often say that this is down to the changing tastes of customers.
There are several reasons why this could be done.
For example, government regulation, like the “sugar tax,” forces firms to change their recipes.
Some manufacturers might choose to tweak ingredients to cut costs.
They may opt for a cheaper alternative, especially when costs are rising to keep prices stable.
For example, Tango Cherry disappeared from shelves in 2018.
It has recently returned after six years away but as a sugar-free version.
Fanta removed sweetener from its sugar-free alternative earlier this year.
Suntory tweaked the flavour of its flagship Lucozade Original and Orange energy drinks.
While the amount of sugar in every bottle remains unchanged, the supplier swapped out the sweetener aspartame for sucralose.
In other retail news, Quality Street has brought back a fan-favourite for the second Christmas is a row.
Plus, an iconic fizzy drink brand is set to be “retired” leaving fans fearing it will be discontinued.
