Kerry Katona defends Katie Price after ‘abhorrent’ cancer claim (2025)

Kerry Katona has defended pal Katie Price after the glamour model received backlash for backing claims that boxer Anthony Fowler's CBD brand 'cured' his daughter's tumour.

Kerry Katona has defended Katie Price after she received backlash for backing claims that boxer Anthony Fowler's CBD brand 'cured' his daughter's tumour.

Former glamour model Katie has posted a series of videos to social media promoting Supreme CBD, Anthony's brand. One video saw her sitting with Anthony's partner, Serena Stregapede, who claimed that a tumour in their daughter Roma’s leg ‘shrunk’ after using the CBD products.

As Katie sat waving a bottle of the oil at the camera, she said: “They’ve shown me the pictures of before and after from using CBD where it shrunk it all.”

Many fans branded the promotional video 'abhorrent'. However, Kerry - who also works with Supreme CBD - took to her weekly column this week to back Katie.

She wrote: "I’ve seen that Supreme CBD has been getting lots of bad press over the last week since my friend Katie Price began promoting it and shared that it helped the owner Anthony Fowler’s daughter, who had a tumour in her leg. I’ve been working with the brand and Anthony, for years and I absolutely love it.

Kerry added:"No one is claiming that CBD can cure cancer, they are simply saying that it helped his daughter. I introduced Katie to the brand and, if I’m honest, I think people just like to be negative towards her, no matter what the situation is."

Katie and Kerry, who both appeared on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! together in 2004, have been friends for over two decades and still have a close relationship. The pair even spent Christmas together last year, with Katie and her eldest son Harvey spending the period at Kerry's Cheshire home.

A long-time supporter of Supreme CBD, Kerry has often lauded the brand for helping with her chronic pain amongst other health issues. She often posts to social media with owner Anthony and his partner Serena.

However, Katie's price left many fans unimpressed with the claims regarding Romy's tumours, with Katie captioning the post: "Very serious chat with @serenasophiax and @afowler06 about their 2 year old daughter who had a tumour in her leg, they refused hospital treatment and healed her themselves which is amazing.

“They was telling me all about @supreme_cbd and how it works for fibromyalgia, arthritis, anxiety/depression any aches/pains or insomnia, I literally get people thanking me everyday this is started posting, I asked @supreme_cbd for a code to save you all money, use code Katie40 at checkout http://supremecbd.uk and save 40% on your orders.”

So you are advertising that CBD healed the tumour. Dangerous and disgusting,” one person wrote.

“This is f**king abhorrent,” said a third, with another writing: “This feels dodgy.” A fifth fan begged: “Please don't post dangerous false information like this. People might take your word as fact and refuse medical advice. This sort of thing has caused so much harm!”

A final commenter urged: “Katie, you have zero medical or scientific qualifications, so how about you don’t use your platform to push health ‘advice’. Health is too important to mess with & vulnerable people can often look for the ‘easy solution’ when there isn’t one. Don’t endanger lives.”

Anthony soon dived into the comment section, not disputing Katie’s claim that he and Serena “refused hospital treatment” but adding: “Hardest time of my life @supreme_cbd was only one of the MANY CHANGES, I made to make my little girls bodies able to heal herself.”
