Britain’s Got Talent’s Francine Lewis explained how her friendship with Katie Price didn’t start off on a positive note.
The TV star shot to fame in 2013 after doing uncanny impressions of Katie and other celebs on the show.
Looking back at how her friendship with Katie began, Francine said: “How I met Katie, was when she was going out with a Gladiator called Warren.

“I used to do a show called Night Fever on Channel 5, a karaoke show, and Warren came on show that week and we had a laugh and I didn’t think anything else of it.”

The next thing Francine knew was their mutual friend and celebrity makeup artist Gary Cockrill asking her about a rumour.
She added: “One day I get phone call from Gary saying ‘Katie is seething, apparently you’re sleeping with her boyfriend Warren’.
“I said ‘What? I’ve only met him once, that’s ridiculous’.
Then I was with Daily Star Page 3 photographer Jeany Savage and Katie was on phone to her saying ‘That b**ch is in there’.
“And I’d literally only had the one meeting with Warren.”
Ironically, ex-glamour model Francine then revealed that Warren and Katie split up shortly after and he then tried to pursue her.
Francine turned him down but the pair then became “best friends” and Katie later realised that nothing had gone on between them.
Katie and Francine were then both invited to their friend Gary’s BBQ, where they inevitably hit it off.
The stunning TV star said: “I was really worried about it and then I met her and I instantly got on with her.
“She was off the wall crazy and we had stayed really good friends.”

But later on, Francine went on to mimic Katie on the stage which eventually caused some friction with the pair.
The brunette beauty explained: “At the time, she loved it, she used to make me ring her brother and mum. In fact, when she was on I’m A Celeb she was talking about me doing it.
“But we then lost touch and we weren’t friends anymore and on BGT I maybe pushed it a little bit too far on the final, I don’t think she liked it, put it that way…
“I’ve got nothing against Katie, she was at my wedding, I was at her wedding…
“I think she’s got most gorgeous children, Princess and Junior are absolutely gorgeous and so polite.”
Francine is currently starring in ITV series Deep Fake.
