Katie Price has backed Chris Hughes after he was involved in a heated bust-up at Tuesday night’s National Television Awards.
The former Love Island star, who dates Little Mix beauty Jesy Nelson, shouted and threw punches at a photographer over claims the snapper called him a “c***”.
MailOnline released the video, which saw Chris, 27, lose it after a paparazzi muttered “what a c***,” as he left the 5-star Intercontinental Hotel in East London following the star-studded bash.
And the former glamour model shared her thoughts surrounding the incident on her Instagram Story on Thursday evening.
“About time the paparazzi are exposed to show how some of them are so vile,” she wrote.

“Good on Chris Hughes for sticking up for himself.”
In the shocking video, the TV host sees red as he throws his bags down before fuming: “Why am I a c***?
“Take your f***ing gloves off bruv,” after he squares up to the photographer.
“F*** this. He has no right to call me a c***. It’s not f***ing fair is it?
“I am a nice f***ing guy from the Cotswolds, I live in the countryside,” he added.
