Katie Price reportedly attacked a group of paparazzi with her umbrella yesterday. In her best Britney Spears impression, she apparently lashed out at the snappers shouting:

“Why don’t you all just get a real job and f**k off?”

One member of the group told The Daily Star: “She was crazed. She is normally so in control that it was really weird to see her doing something like that.”

He added: “We take pictures of Kate every day and have followed her for the past six months, since she split from Peter Andre. She pretty much knows us all by now.

“I know it must be pretty hard to have us there 24/7, but that is the life she chose. She lives her life by selling out to the media, so how can she suddenly turn like this?”

A spokesman for Price insisted that she was provoked.

The representative said: “Kate understands the nature of her job and generally co-operates with the media. But yesterday she said they were being very intrusive and had overstepped the mark.”
