Katie Price furious with Emily Atack over jungle quip

Katie Price is furious after Emily Atack made a joke about her on ‘I’m A Celebrity… Extra Camp’.
Emily, 29, suggested her co-hosts Joel Dommett and Adam Thomas should be tested for diseases after they went for a dip in the same pool where Katie, 41, and her former husband Peter Andre, 46, first got up close and personal during their jungle stint in 2004.
Emily quipped: "I hope you boys went to the clinic after being in that pool."
However, Katie is said to have been furious when she heard about the joke and insiders say she wants to confront Emily.
A source told The Sun Online: "Katie says she’s not watching the show, but when Emily Atack mentioned her on ‘Extra Camp’ all her friends told her what she said. Loads of fans were messaging her on social media too – and Katie was furious.
"She was telling people that she can’t believe Emily would say something so snide and if she ‘wants a problem, I’ll give her a problem’.
"At one point Katie was saying she’d fly out to Australia and confront her. She’s not going to, obviously, but she was asking around to see if anyone had Emily’s number.
"She thinks she wouldn’t be so brave to say it to her face. Katie reckons she’s due a public apology from Emily. She’s never had any issue with Emily so she’s really shocked by her joke."
Meanwhile, Katie is reportedly refusing to watch ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ after show bosses refused her request to take part in it for the third time.
An insider previously explained: "Katie was really keen to go back on ‘I’m A Celebrity’. "The way she sees it she has unfinished business with the programme and would love to go back on it.
"But ITV weren’t interested. So just like Simon Cowell and ‘The X Factor’ she got the cold shoulder."
