Katie Price beams in the studio ahead of music comeback after surprise chart success

Katie Price threw up a peace sign as she shared a snap from inside the music studio after her 2017 dance track, I Got U, topped the iTunes chart this week and landed a spot in the Big Top 40. The 47-year-old star has been open about her dreams to become a pop star, and it looks like it might be happening now.

The former glamour model took to her Instagram Stories to share a snap of herself giving the camera a peace sign as she stood in front of the microphone while wearing headphones. The star kept her dark locks tied up in a messy bun and rocked a casual Nike t-shirt for the special occasion.

"Back in the studio, just recorded my new single," she captioned the post, which was also shared to her Snapchat.

She revealed on the way to the studio that the person she's working with wrote her a song the night before and she was excited to work with the producer - who also wrote songs for Chris Brown.

"Great to be back," she wrote over a picture of the microphone in the booth. She even teased her Snapchat followers with a preview of the dance track.

Mum-of-five Katie had set her sights on making more music after she beat the likes of Chappell Roan, Lewis Capaldi and Benson Boone with her track I Got U, eight years after the dance-pop song was first released.

Written by former X Factor contestant Craig Colton, the song was Katie's attempt to launch herself as a singer again, having previously attempted to represent the United Kingdom during the Eurovision Song Contest.

During an appearance on Loose Women ahead of its release, Katie revealed that her management team had wanted nothing to do with it and instead told her it wouldn't be a success.

Music producer Rick Live worked with her on songs like Hurricane and Heartbroken. In a recent chat with The Sun, he said: "This was all completely unexpected. My phone started blowing up and I had about 60 missed calls and a load of text messages from people saying 'you're back in the charts'.

"It's mad. Katie's absolutely buzzing about it, we both are." Katie's return to the charts comes after a tumultuous month with blistering attacks from her ex-husbands Peter Andre and Alex Reid.

Peter issued a blistering statement against the star and hit out at Katie's "repeated lies" following Katie's claims that she hadn't been invited to their daughter, Princess's 18th birthday as it was being filmed and she didn't fit the brand.

Then, Alex Reid, Katie's second husband, whom she married in 2010 and divorced just one year later, shared a bombshell video. The clip, believed to have been filmed in late 2020, showed a then-bankrupt Price, counting huge stacks of cash, while boasting that her bankruptcy had been extended.

In a show of solidarity, Katie's loyal fans rallied around her to show their support – which had driven her to the charts.
