Katie Price has hit a new high after one of her singles soared to the top of the UK charts, sparking emotional celebrations for both the star and her loyal fans.

The 47-year-old reality TV icon was left screaming with excitement in a video posted to Instagram after hearing her 2017 single I Got U being played on the radio.

She captioned the clip: “Number 3!!!!!! OMG!!!!!! I literally can’t believe it!!!!! #igotyou #wegotyou” The track has shot to number one on the iTunes dance chart and number three overall in the UK, beating the likes of Olivia Dean, Perrie Edwards, and Dizzee Rascal in sales and downloads this week.

Fans flooded her comments with praise, with one writing: “After all these years of being painted as the villain, Katie Price has finally been exonerated — the truth always comes out in the end.” Another added: “Never, ever underestimate the Pricey.”

Others backed her musical comeback, chanting: “WEMBLEY. STADIUM. NOW.” One fan called her “the reinvention queen”, while another said: “So happy for you!! Finally people are starting to stick up for you!!”

Katie’s representative told The Mirror : “Katie can’t believe the amount of support she’s had from the public! This shows what women supporting women can achieve and the power of social media.”

A source echoed the sentiment to The Sun, describing her success in the charts as “a dream come true” for the former glamour model.

Katie herself previously reposted countless congratulatory messages on her Instagram stories, telling followers: “Thank you to everyone — my dreams have come true. Well, for once I’m speechless!”

She originally released the track in 2017 during her second attempt at a pop career, but at the time the track peaked at number five on the UK charts.

Years earlier, she famously recorded a duet of A Whole New World with her ex-husband Peter Andre, donating the proceeds to charity. Now that she has achieved some newfound success in the music industry, Price is planning to release a new album and hit the road on tour.

In a post she made on TikTok earlier this year she teased: “It’s going to be called Katie Price’s Big Bangers, where I do a lot of old school covers and my own material as well. You’ll have to watch.”

But while her musical career is on the rise, Katie continues to face personal challenges. Her ongoing feud with ex-husband Peter Andre resurfaced recently. Despite the drama between her and Peter, Katie has been publicly celebrating her close relationship with her daughter Princess, sharing photos of the pair in matching outfits on Instagram.
