Katie apologised to many fans on Twitter, before writing “I sincerely apologise to you all. I couldn't have put I better myself” and linked to a tweet which read: “Tonight's scheduled episode of #CelebrityJuice featuring @KTHopkins has been postponed until the Autumn due to Peaches Geldof's passing.”
Katie retweeted a number of messages - all of which expressed annoyance at the show being cancelled - though a number of other Twitter users supported the move.
“I hope producers make this a permanent postponement,” wrote one ‘Celebrity Juice’ fan.
Peaches famously defeated Katie during a debate on ‘This Morning’ and the duo’s public spat continued long after their heated argument over Peaches’ employment of ‘attachment parenting’, a method which focuses on keeping children close to their mother at all times.
Katie’s latest column in The Sun, published 11 April, includes a few words on Peaches’ passing and celebrity reactions to her shock death.
“I watched them try to outbid each other in a public auction of affection and held my tongue,” she wrote. “Celebrities are the new priests of pain. I refused to be part of this revolting spectacle.”

The TV personality added a short passage on the pair’s one and only meeting, writing: “Peaches and I met once, on a TV sofa in central London. We were strangers and remained adversaries.
Peaches died on Monday 7 April, at the home she shared with husband Thomas Cohen and their two sons, Astala, 23 months, and 11-month-old Phaedra.
A post-mortem proved inconclusive and the results of toxicology reports could take up to three weeks.
