Katie Price has doubled down on her praise for CBD despite being accused of flogging a ‘rancid’ con.
The former glamour model, 46, landed herself in H๏τ water this week when she backed up boxer Anthony Fowler’s claims that CBD had ‘healed’ his child’s tumour.
She posted on X to draw attention to Anthony’s story before advertising his Supreme CBD brand and including a checkout code that she would profit from.
Unfazed by a barrage of criticism following her promotional message, Katie took to her podcast The Katie Price Show on Thursday to once again rave about the oil’s benefits.
She said: ‘I keep falling asleep. I know everyone goes on about it, but this CBD, I take two drops a night and honestly I’m having the best sleep, unless it’s in my head.
‘But then I don’t end up watching anything.’

She continued: ‘I had some press this week, with the CBD I take, everyone’s trying to turn it on me.
‘It works for me and that’s it. Anything else they say, go to the guy who runs it, because there was a story yesterday and I was like, “please, that’s nothing to do with me”, because everyone has different experiences with it.’
It comes after Katie and Olympian Anthony were both accused of being ‘irresponsible’ after extolling the benefits of the product this week.
The boxer revealed last year that his daughter Roma, now two, had been suffering with a tumour and he had used CBD oil to address it.
In separate posts, he boasted about refusing chemotherapy for his child.
Later, Katie weighed in, claiming Anthony’s daughter had been ‘healed’ after the family refused hospital treatment.
‘Very serious chat with Srena Stregapede and Anthony Fowler about their two-year-old daughter who had a tumour in her leg, they refused hospital treatment and healed her themselves which is amazing,’ she wrote on X.
‘They was (sic) telling me all about Supreme CBD and how it works for fibromyalgia, arthritis, anxiety/depression any aches/pains or insomnia,’ she added, before posting a checkout code.

Anthony shared an image purporting to be his daughter’s tumour halving in size – after regularly promoting Supreme CBD, which he founded
Social media users soon piled in to pan the former I’m A Celebrity contestant, branding her post ‘dangerous’.
‘F***ing rancid behaviour.’ ; ‘It’s a big con. You know you are being a con artist.’ ; ‘It does not cure cancer ffs!’
‘It is irresponsible to suggest CBD would shrink a tumour like that. CBD used responsibly & in conjunction with other medicines can have huge pain relieving, calming properties etc. But no reputable CBD supplier would allow endorsement like this, it is illegal to do so.’
‘Very serious chat to spread seriously dangerous anti scientific s**** to gullible morons.’
There is no evidence that CBD, oil derived from the cannabis plant that contains cannabidiol (CBD), can cure cancer.
Some CBD products are legal to buy as food supplements from health stores, but according to the NHS website, the ‘quality and content’ of products sold online is unknown and they ‘may be illegal and potentially dangerous’.
Price was blasted after lauding the benefits of CBD oil and claiming it ‘healed’ Roma
The NHS acknowledges that CBD does have ‘medical benefits,’ but adds that there is no guarantee that even products sold in health stores will be of ‘good quality’.
Moreover, the oil can affect how other medicines work, meaning a specialist should always be consulted about using it in conjunction with other treatments.
Doctors would also need to monitor users regularly because it can affect the liver.
Alongside her post on X, Katie shared a video lauding CBD.
‘The word CBD has been floating around and all of that. People like me in the beginning were skeptical – like, “Oh no!” – but now you know it’s safe, it’s not a drug,’ she said.
However, according to the Mayo Clinic, CBD use ‘carries some risks’ such as ‘mouth, diarrhea, reduced appeтιтe, drowsiness and fatigue’.
Anthony, 34, shared Katie’s post and responded to criticism, sharing an image which purportedly showed the reduction in his daughter’s tumour size from 37.1mm in diameter to 21.2mm.
‘It’s what you call the truth mate me and my partner shrunk my daughters tumour by half using ZERO PHARMACEUTICAL MEDICINE,’ he wrote.

‘We going Alder Hey next week for final scan and I bet it’s fully gone now.’
Below, he added that: ‘I never once said it (healing) was the CBD, but that helped her mᴀssively with pain.’
The plot thickened on Tuesday when Katie’s close friend Kerry Katona, 44, took to the ring to spar with former professional boxer Ricky Hatton to help promote Anthony’s controversial oil.
The trainer, 46, put Kerry through her paces in the ring, while the mother-of-five displayed her stiff uppercut, while still maintaining her glamorous appearance.
After getting back home, she took to her Instagram to reflect on her time taking on Ricky, quipping that she had him scared.
She said: ‘In bed at last, makeup is off. We’ve had a very good day today with Ricky and Anthony. Always with our Anthony, love him to bits.
‘And had a proper giggle with Ricky, did a bit of boxing, a bit of sparring. I know he was scared, I could see the fear in his eyes.’
In the caption, Kerry made sure to promote Anthony’s business, Supreme CBD.
She said: ‘What a fab day… never thought I’d be in a ring with the one and only @rickyhitmanhatton along side my bestie @afowler06 @serenasophiaxx honestly it’s so good to meet other people who are on the same journey as I am with @supremecbd seeing the difference it has made to peoples lives.
‘I feel so honoured to be apart of it knowing what it’s done for me and then seeing what it’s done for others.’
Ricky, meanwhile, shared a video of the pair’s bout on X and echoed Kerry’s praise of Supreme CBD, writing: ‘Great to have @KerryKatona7 and @afowler06 in the gym today.
‘I was telling him how many my friends have dmd me asking does @supreme_cbd really work, they should know I’d never put my name to something that didn’t work for me’.
