Ed Sheeran Denies Co-Writing A Song For Katie Price's Upcoming Album

The reality star previously claimed she'd been working on music with "an A-lister with two top 10 hits at the moment".

Over the course of his career, Ed Sheeran has been lucky enough to work with and write songs for some of the biggest stars around today, including Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, Beyoncé and Stormzy.

However, despite her obvious vocal prowess, it seems that one talent who won’t be joining that list is Katie Price, despite her claims to the contrary.

During an appearance on Thursday’s Loose Women, The Pricey revealed that despite it all, she hasn’t given up on her music career just yet, and even has a full album in the works, which she suggested would feature a song written by the chart-topping singer.

“I’m actually doing an album,” she told the panel. “And someone already, he’s an A-lister, he’s got two top 10 hits at the moment, who’s co-written a song for me for my album as well. And it won’t be hard to work out who that is.”

Despite her protestations that she wouldn’t go any further, Katie quickly dropped the name “Ed Sheeran” (although she did technically say “Shearing”, putting her alongside Elton John on the list of people who find it hard to say Ed’s name).

And while he does fit Katie’s description as an A-lister with two top 10 singles in the charts right now, Ed’s people have been in touch to let us know that, in fact, he hasn’t co-written anything for the reality star’s upcoming album.

HuffPost UK has contacted Katie Price’s publicist for clarification.

Katie initially began her music career with an infamous attempt at representing the UK at Eurovision in 2005, which she’s previously said is the only thing she’s done in her life that she regrets.

She and ex-husband Peter Andre later released a collection of duets, titled A Whole New World, while her divorce from former cage fighter Alex Reid was followed by another new tune, Free To Love Again.

In 2017, she made another crack at a career in singing, releasing I Got U, co-written by former X Factor contestant Craig Colton.

Her new music wasn’t the only news Katie revealed during her Loose Women interview, though, also announcing that she and her boyfriend of just over a year Kris Boyson are engaged.

Showing off her eye-catching new ring, Katie said: “Kris bought the ring, for that finger, so there you go.

“He has met his match, he puts me in my place, he is strict with me. I’m not used to that. He’s a good guy, he’s so good with Harvey, Harvey’s obsessed with him.”

This marks the fifth time Katie has been engaged, having previously been married to singer Peter Andre and former cage-fighter Alex Reid, as well as having briefly been set to marry model Leandro Penna.

At present, Katie is in the process of divorcing her estranged husband Kieran Hayler, with whom she has a son and a daughter, Jett and Bunny.
