Katie Price was forced to apologise to Emily Atack after she reignited their years-long feud.
The glamour model, 47, has made various swipes at the Rivals star, 35, over the years, beginning in 2019 when Emily appeared on the I’m A Celebrity spin-off show Extra Camp and joked she would need to ‘get tested in a clinic’ after learning the rock pool she bathed in had previously been used by Katie and Peter Andre.
At the time, Katie hit back by joking: ‘I’m on my way to Australia and I know some of your exes and guess what they said “phwoar fishy” [while fanning her hand in front of her nose]’ – a video that quickly went viral.
And six years on, the ‘fishy’ feud was reignited, with Katie taking to Instagram on Tuesday night to make a vulgar comment about Emily being a ‘funny fishy’.
However, shortly after sharing the post it was deleted, with Katie explaining she had been ‘dared’ to put it up during her tell-all tour with Kerry Katona.
Addressing fans, she said: ‘Hey everyone, just to let you know the post that went up before – I’m on tour and it was a truth or dare challenge where the audience said dare.’

She explained: ‘The audience had to say what I had to put up on Instagram.
‘So if anyone was offended… and Emily Atack, I love you to bits. I didn’t mean any of it. It wasn’t me. It was a challenge, but we’ve now deleted it.
‘I apologise for that. But it was a part of a truth and a dare game on our tour.’
Daily Mail has contacted Emily’s representatives for comment.
Katie last referenced her feud with Emily last November, when she made a snide dig in front of a huge audience during her one-woman show.
Addressing the crowd, she said: ‘Has anyone ever seen me do the “phwoar fishy”?’
‘Now I am not one to attack, even though it’s Emily Atack. I don’t attack anyone, I am the most kindest person ever but if someone goes for me, I will make sure I have the last word.’
Explaining where the ‘phwoar fishy’ jibe came from, Katie added: ‘Basically I’m A Celebrity was on and Emily Atack was presenting it.
‘And whether she got told to say it or not, there was a couple of people in the pond and she said, “Ooh I’ll be careful if I was you, you might get STDs because Katie Price has been in there [the pond]”.
‘So, I put on my I’m A Celebrity rucksack and went ‘Hey Emily, I’m on my way to Australia and I know some of your exes and guess what they said “phwoar fishy”.’
The feud kicked off in 2019 when Emily joked she would need to ‘get tested in a clinic’ after learning the rock pool she bathed in had previously been used by Katie and Peter Andre

Despite the dig, Katie insisted: ‘But I’ve got nothing against Emily, it was just me and my ADHD f****** fighting back.’
A source told The Sun at the time that Katie was ‘furious’ when she heard what Emily had said about her.
They revealed: ‘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.’
Months prior, Katie took another swipe at Emily in a TikTok video with GK Barry after appearing on her podcast.
Promoting the pair’s chat, Grace shared a video on TikTok where she said: ‘Guys I am with someone proper fishy.’
Katie then said: ‘Pwhoar Emily Atack, proper fishy mate,’ while waving her hand under her nose.

Yet Sunday’s show reportedly descended into chaos after a ‘drunken’ group were ordered to leave by security and the police were called, delaying act two of the performance.
Security staff were reportedly seen talking to a member of the audience during the show – and despite the host saying the interval would last around 15 minutes, the commencement of the second half was delayed as security staff dealt with the group in the front row.
Soon after an unknown number of women were removed from the venue, much to the delight of the rest of the crowd who are said to have cheered.
Katie apologised to the audience for the half-an-hour break between acts, as she said: ‘Sorry about the drama. It had nothing to do with us.’
Kerry went on to call out the group who had been kicked out for ‘ruining the show for everybody else’, before the duo got back to performing hit songs.
After the show, two police cars were reportedly seen outside the theatre.
Merseyside Police confirmed in a statement: ‘We received a report at just before 9.10pm last night, Sunday September 7, from security staff at the Floral Pavilion in New Brighton, that a number of females had been asked to leave due to drunken and disruptive behaviour.
‘It was reported that they refused to leave and continued to be verbally abusive towards staff. Enquiries into the matter are ongoing.’
A spokesperson for the Floral Pavilion Theatre said: ‘Sadly the second part of last night’s show was briefly delayed due to disruptive behaviour from a small number of audience members.
‘We are grateful to the support of the police officers who assisted theatre staff to swiftly remove them from the premises.’
