Katie Price has announced she has quit social media.
The 44-year-old has built up a large following of fans as she regularly shares updates with her 2.7m followers on Instagram. However, she told her Instagram followers today she will be taking a break from social media.
She said: "I will be coming off all social media for a period of time. I need to take time off for personal reasons.

"Thank you to all my loyal fans for always supporting me."
She captioned the post with a series of heart emojis and has turned comments off so fans are unable to respond. The former glamour model has recently endured a dramatic period after she avoided jail for sending an "angry and inflammatory" message to her ex-husband in breach of a restraining order banning her from contacting his new partner.
She sent Kieran Hayler a message on January 21 this year in which she branded his new partner, Michelle Penticost, a "c****** w****" and a "gutter s***". She had pleaded guilty to breaching the restraining order and was sentenced to an 18-month community order with 150 hours of community service with an additional 20 hours for breach of a suspended sentence for driving matters.
She was also ordered to pay £1,500 court costs. Judge Stephen Mooney told Price: "In my judgement, this offence was committed out of anger.
"The words you used were highly offensive and inflammatory so the breach cannot be considered minor. In my judgement, balancing the aggravating and mitigating and aggravating factors, the appropriate sentence is a medium level community order."
