A lot of double standards at play here.
Sure, Katie Price has had plenty of well-documented relationships in life, but does she actually deserve to be branded a slapper for it, or to have comments made about the condition of her, er, downstairs area as a result? I seem to recall the likes of Jennifer Aniston and Kylie have been linked with all sorts of people over the years, but nobody accuses Kylie of having a "minge like a ripped out fireplace", and certainly not Kate "three children by three different men" Winslet either. Nor do I generally see questions asked about any number of men who, anecdotally at least, get around more than the Beach Boys on a carousel. It's age-old sexism at work, or at least snobbery.
I can't say I'm in any way shape or form an admirer of Ms Price, and I tend to consciously ignore any sort of media coverage involving the likes of her, any of the cast of TOWIE etc and so on. I do also appreciate that her professional reputation at least is largely well-calculated on her part. But IF Duffy gets on with her (and let's face it: there may well be a real meeting of minds there...) and finds her attractive in whatever way: who are any of us to judge?
