KATIE Price was slammed by fans for vaping in her podcast video.
The mum-of-five was branded "beyond irresponsible" and was accused of "setting a bad example".
Sitting down with her sister Sophie for their podcast The Katie Price Show, the former glamour model turned reality star started puffing away.
The sisters revealed that they had some "super exciting news" but followers were more interested in Katie's fruit-flavoured habit.
"Her mum is sick with lung problems and she’s there on camera vaping! Beyond irresponsible," one wrote.

"What really…… vaping (shrug emoji) Come on Kate - I’ve never seen you smoke or vape ever," another added.
"You look great, Katie I mean your face but you are not a professional at all. Just stop vaping in front of the camera!!! It (doesn't) suit you at all and you embarrassing yourself!!!" a third wrote.
"Is the vaping necessary on camera not a good example is it," echoed another.
However, many fans stood up for Katie, with one writing: "If she wants to vape she can vape..is she telling you lot to vape or not to vape..im sure she can do what she likes when she likes.."
"The whole world is vaping, give the girl a break, scroll on if she's not your cuppa tea. Too much hate on posts!" another agreed.
The comments come after Katie's mum Amy, 71, was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis [IPF], a terminal lung disease with a life expectancy of three to five years.
She underwent a lung transplant in November 2022 but last year said her health was still “up and down”.
Katie, 45, risked being fined £5,000 after she vaped backstage at panto before Christmas.
She was live on TikTok giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at her dressing room as daughter Bunny held her phone.
However, as production put the finishing touches to her outfit she took out her vape.

Stunned Katie then realised she had been caught and quickly put away the e-cigarette before turning her head and exhaling.
Smoking or vaping in 'music and sports venues' is illegal and can result in fines of up to £5,000.
Speaking about her habit, Katie said she is determined to quit and claimed she only does it because it "smells nice".
She said: "I am going to stop it because I don’t know why I do it. It’s this new social thing where everyone vapes.
"I don’t normally [like to] be a follower, I am usually a leader. Do you know what it is, they smell nice.
"I like the way it just comes out, if you take it in and swirl your tongue around you really get the taste."
