Katie Price Faces Mum-Shaming for Advent Calendar Complaints

The Price of Advent Calendars

Katie Price, the 45-year-old reality TV star, has faced criticism for her comments about the price of advent calendars. During an episode of her podcast, The Katie Price Show, she expressed disbelief at the range and prices of advent calendars on the market. Price stated that she would be purchasing cheaper ones from Tesco for her five children, instead of opting for the more expensive options available.

From Simple to Extravagant

Price compared the advent calendars of today to those from years ago, stating that in the past, a simple calendar with chocolate was enough. However, she expressed surprise at the current range of products and their high prices. Price mentioned a specific advent calendar from Sunday Times Style, which costs £700. She revealed that she was selling the calendar for £120, enabling her to see the contents of each drawer. Despite the good quality products inside, she emphasized that she would never pay £700 for an advent calendar.

Listener Backlash

Price's comments were met with criticism from listeners, with one person suggesting that she could not afford any advent calendars. This backlash comes after Price's widely publicized financial struggles, resulting in her bankruptcy declaration in November 2019. Despite her previous wealth, she has been unable to keep up with monthly repayments to her creditors.

A New Perspective

Price has maintained a positive outlook on her bankruptcy, stating that it has allowed her to re-evaluate her priorities. She believes that being in a bankruptcy is nothing to be ashamed of and that it has helped her put her life in order. Although she can't afford to splurge on expensive advent calendars, she remains focused on providing for her children.
