Katie Price targeted by Instagram users for 'faking' fitness drink posts

Katie Price's Instagram followers have accused her of “faking” her recent sponsored fitness drinks ads after users noticed her reluctance to take a sip.

The former glamour model has shared several sponsored posts in partnership with weight loss regime Boombod, which offers customers three shots a day to mix up and drink to help their fitness journey.

On Monday, Price posted a video of herself mixing up a shot while she chatted about how the product was starting to work for her.

However, fans were sceptical that Price had actually drunk any of the bright pink liquid, and pointed out that the box of sachets appeared to still be full.

One wrote: “Could you do a video where you actually drink the stuff? Might be more convincing.”

Another said: “She has yet to drink any of this in her ads. This is like the 4th or 5th time and she just won’t drink it.”

“U hardly drink any. Down it girlfriend!” commented somebody else.

Standard Online has contacted representatives for Price for comment.

Price has faced a recent barrage of criticism, including her decision to make an Instagram account for her 16-year-old son Harvey.

Price, 40, announced on Saturday that she had set up a page for her eldest, who is disabled, to allow him to share what he wants .

However, some users hit out at the star for leaving the comments on and the page public in the wake of Harvey being the target of cruel trolls.

Price responded to the comments, with representatives telling the MailOnline that there “shouldn’t be an exception for Harvey” if he wants to be on social media like his peers.
