Katie Price labelled 'tragic hero' but the public are 'rooting' for her

Katherine Ryan has suggested that Katie Price is almost "a tragic Greek hero", with her further commenting that she believes the public are ultimately "rooting" for her.

The comedian, 39 - who was among the winners at the National Comedy Awards last month - shared her thoughts on the former glamour model, 44, in a recent interview.

She revealed that she has previously met Katie and said about the reality TV star: "I think she's really nice". She also recalled reading one of her books some years ago.

Katherine suggested she had first heard of Katie around 16 years ago. She said: "What first drew me to Jordan the character was when I came to this country in 2007."

The mother-of-three said that she went on to learn about Katie's "unapologetic" approach and said the now mother-of-five's story was unlined by being a "wonderful mother".

She said: "I learned about her life and her unapologetic way of doing what she wanted, but underlined by being this wonderful mother. I was just moved by her story."

Katherine - who has appeared on shows like Taskmaster and The Masked Singer - continued in the interview by saying that Katie is almost like a "tragic Greek hero".

Whilst discussing the I'm A Celebrity star, she told the outlet: "I see the way that her life has played out in the media since then and she is a tragic Greek hero, almost."

The comedian further commented: "She makes big mistakes and then she has big successes and her relationship with men and her body and her family and so on."

Katherine made the remarks whilst promoting meal kit company Gousto's latest campaign Flavour that Pops, ahead of the Academy Awards next Monday (March 13).
