Loose Women’s Nadia Sawalha and Kaye Adams have nothing but praise for their co-star Katie Price.
The pair defended Katie, 39, in a new interview with OK!, saying everyone on the show really enjoys working with her.
Nadia, 53, said: “We’re all really fond of Katie Price – she’s never shown one bit of prima donna behaviour and has brought a whole extra audience to us.”
She also quipped there’s another reason for her to adore Katie!
“Her diamond rings are so gorgeous,” gushed Nadia. “She lets me put them on my fingers every time she comes in.”

Kaye Adams, 55, added: “Everyone has such a pre-formed perception of who she is and what she stands for, but we see a very different person – a very sweet person.”
Katie joined the Loose Women panel in 2015, after previous guest spots over the years.
There were rumours that she wasn’t in the ‘fold’ last year after apparently being snubbed at Andrea McLean’s wedding.
Several panellists were in attendance at Andrea’s nuptials to Nick Feeney, but Katie was noticeably absent.
However, Nadia and Kaye’s comments appear to rubbish any suggestion of a rift.
Katie’s used the show to discuss several major chapters in her life including the discovery her husband Kieran Hayler had cheated on her, her mum Amy being diagnosed with a terminal illness, her various cosmetic surgeries, and being a mum to five kids.
Katie’s rarely been on the show recently, however, as she juggles caring for her mum with her ongoing campaign to make online bullying a criminal offence.
She visited a parliamentary petitions committee in February to champion the cause, which she launched after her eldest son Harvey, 15, was subjected to vile abuse online.
Harvey has multiple disabilities and Katie has always been very protective of him.
Meanwhile, despite Nadia and Kaye raving about her, Katie said recently she doesn’t rate her own skills as a Loose Women panellist!
The mother of five told The Mirror she thinks she’s pretty dull on the panel.
We SO disagree!

“I don’t go out anymore,” she said.
“It has nothing to do with having kids and being a mum. I just can’t be bothered talking boring [bleep] to the same old people.
“I’m just bored with it all. I think I’m boring on Loose Women.”
Nadia and Kaye’s new book, Disaster Chef: Simple Recipes for Cooks Who Can’t, is out now.
