Katie Price taken off Loose Women after 5 minutes
Today's (December 12) Loose Women was forced to cut to an early commercial break as an emotional Katie Price was escorted off the set.
The show opened with a segment about the passing of TV presenter Keith Chegwin, who died from the same lung condition that Price's mum is suffering from.
The star quickly became upset talking about how Chegwin's death has made her confront her own mother's mortality, and Ruth Langsford walked her off set while Denise Van Outen explained that Price was only asked to be on the show late last night and had not slept.
Thank you for all the love for @KatiePrice today. She wanted to pay tribute to her friend @keithchegwin and raise awareness for lung disease but it's obviously an upsetting subject with her mum Amy's illness. We are looking after her. https://t.co/gTVVzbWpa8

Viewers praised Price for trying to raise awareness of IPF (Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis), and for how Langsford professionally handled the situation.
