Katie Price has revealed, that she donated her fee from her recent interview with Piers Morgan to charity.
Writing on her Twitter account, she said: “All the money I got paid for the Piers Morgan interview was donated to Vision Charity. Thanks for all your support, good or bad, you still wrote.”
Well that’s alright then. Sell out your husband, abandon your kids, but donate a paltry few thousand pounds to charity and the slate is wiped clean. That’s how it works in showbiz is it?

It will be the second time she’s been interviewed for TV by Morgan and in their first interview, Price spoke of the sexual abuse she suffered as a child.
The new “no holds barred” show will air on 11th July and will feature the model apparently trying to rebuild her TV persona in the wake of several allegations of infidelity and bitchiness that have surrounded the famous couple’s high profile split. Read more & comment »
