This Morning fans were left rather angered on Friday morning after a mouse taxidermist appeared on the ITV programme.
Katie, who previously worked as a pole dancer, said she turned her hand to mouse taxidermy after having children.
The guest claimed to have made thousands of pounds with her taxidermy business and told presenters Alison Hammond and Craig Doyle that her customers like the way she presents the dead mice dancing on a pole.
But fans online seemed rather confused with Katie’s mouse pursuits and took to Twitter to share their thoughts.
One person penned: “Not sure I would be smiling looking at a dead mouse hanging off a pole prefer to watch a live one running around tbh.”
Another viewer fumed: “I rescued rats destined for snake food, a guy was giving up breeding them and his mice. I’ve seen how those animals were kept, 50+ kept in a plastic tub, females all pregnant, it was awful. That’s the trade this woman is funding, she should be ashamed.”
A third wrote: “I know their only mice, but still I find this so disrespectful.”
While a fourth added: “Money from selling dead mice, just a bit weird.”
But one viewer was impressed with Katie’s mouse taxidermy and headed straight to Twitter to offer an opposing view.
The spectator said: “I actually love these mice. They are already dead when she gets them, they are bred, killed and frozen for snakes to eat! So she isn’t physically killing them for this!”
While talking to the presenters, Katie explained that she receives the mice already dead and moulds them into different shapes.
But she also claimed that the process is not as gruesome as it looks.
The mother-of-two previously told The Sun: “People love it or hate it and I get a lot of angry vegans on my case.
“Some people have told me that this mouse didn’t die just to be immortalised as a stripper!
“It’s all just a bit of fun – it would be a very different practice if I was working with a rare elephant’s head.
