Katie Price gets controversial cornrows before quitting botched 2-day Celebrity SAS stint

Katie Price treated herself to controversial cornrows just days before deciding to quit her short-lived stint on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.

The former glamour model, 41, found the process too difficult and stormed off from Raasay Island in Scotland, where the gruelling show is filmed, just 48 hours after arriving.

Pricey appears alongside Joey Essex, as well as TV presenters, Anthea Turner and Helen Skelton and ballroom dancer Brendan Cole in the upcoming series.

Other contestants include former premiership footballer John Fashanu, Hollyoaks actress Nikki Sanderson and YouTuber Jack Maynard.

The cast also boasts Paralympic athlete Lauren Steadman, Rudimental DJ Locksmith, as well as Radio 1Xtra DJ Yasmin Evans and former boxing champion Tony Bellew.

The Channel 4 show sees all 12 celeb contestants get gruelling military training.

And Katie even came prepared for such an event with a head full of cornrows - similar to the hairstyle she sported when she seduced Peter Andre on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! in 2004.

And despite her being paid a whopping £120,000 for her brief stint on the show, Katie couldn't handle the pressure of entertaining.

The gig was meant to be her opportunity to relaunch her struggling career and boost her finances.

A source told Mirror Online last October: "Katie was relying on this to turn her career around and show the public she can reinvent herself in a similar way to how she did in the Jungle back in 2004.

"She had all her hair braided to enable her to get really stuck in, but when she discovered she was going to be in Scotland she lost all motivation."

Our insider added: "She says she's not bothered about the money but how can she not be?

"She wont let on if she quit but she definitely quit in her mind and would have given up so she was kicked off."
