Katie Price has been slammed by fans after seemingly "smacking her new puppy" during a live video on TikTok. Viewers were outraged at the scenes, which came just a few months after animal activists petitioned for the former glamour model to be banned from owning more pets.

Those who had tuned in to the live video on social media took to Twitter to claim they heard a "loud smack" whilst the dog was off-camera.
Katie added: "It's hectic in here," as she laughed the incident off as her friend was heard in the background saying: "It's like having a baby - worse actually. At least a baby would just sit there."
