Katie Price was slammed by fans online after she appeared to ‘hit’ her new puppy while going live on TikTok.
The 45-year-old former beauty model was conversing with her fans through live video feed while holding her new German Shepherd dog, Tank.
The actress seemed to beat the little puppy for sitting on her clothes while live on the social media site.
To the dismay of spectators watching live on their phones, the actress was heard shrieking at the animal, telling him to ‘get off’ her pile of jumpers.
‘You’re sitting on my jumpers, which I love. Get off. Jesus Christ… Anyway, as I was saying…’, she exclaimed before appearing to strike the dog off camera and creasing with laughter.
The mum-of-five was then seen holding her head in her hands, seemingly frustrated with the animal’s presence, according to The Sun.

Fans reacted quickly to what they had just seen, with one writing, ‘Did she just smack her dog?’ beneath the video.
Another person responded to the accusing inquiry with, ‘Omgggg,’ expressing disbelief at what they thought had just transpired.
Since 2017, seven of Katie’s prior dogs have perished while in her care, and the actress has pledged to safeguard her newest addition, Tank.
After her dog Blade died in June, the star swore to ‘keep Tank safe’ after a petition was launched to prevent her from having any additional animals.
She said at the time of her dog Blade’s death: ‘Blade, my guard dog, unfortunately, it upsets me to talk about, but has been killed by somebody, he wasn’t just run over.
‘He was killed. There is a police investigation about it.’

The dog was killed by a car after escaping from the celebrity’s house in East Sussex and making his way onto the busy A24.
Blade died barely seven months after Sharon, the model’s second dog, was murdered on the same main route.
Her Alsatian Queenie was struck by a delivery vehicle the year before Sharon’s death, after being given to Katie as a birthday present by her ex Kieran Hayler.
Sparkle, another Alsatian, was slain on the A24 in 2020, and her French Bulldog Rolo was killed by a chair two months after.
