Katie Price threw Loose Women into “chaos” after suffering a “medical emergency”.

Price, 37, was scheduled to appear on the ITV chat show but was forced to pull out ahead of going on-air due to low blood pressure and suspected food poisoning.

In a live link during This Morning lead panellist Andrea McLean explained that show bosses were desperately trying to find someone to replace Price.

"You may notice that we are currently one woman short of a Loose Women panel,” McLean said. “It's because Katie Price had a medical emergency in our meeting room this morning.

"She is resting up in our sick bay with our medic and we're now trying desperately to find someone who can take her seat in time. It is absolute chaos behind the scenes here!"

The show’s official Twitter account later posted a video of Price under a duvet and wearing large sunglasses.

Speaking to the medic who had examined the former glamour model, McLean asked: “I’ve got the first aid kit. I’ve got some sterile cleansing wipes. You’ve taken her blood pressure - can she go on?”

“Your blood pressure is a bit on the low side I’d probably recommend you didn’t,” he replied. “Go rest and have fluids would be the best advice. Don’t sit under lights and carry on.”

After McLean called her a “stormtrooper”, Price joked: “Don’t miss my banter too much.”

She was replaced by Michelle Heaton.
