Katie Price's panto organizers have slashed ticket prices for her show after scathing reviews online.
The former glamor model, 45, is playing the evil fairy Carabosse in Sleeping Beauty this Christmas and is pocketing £60,000 for the appearance.
However, she took a hit this week after being called a “disgrace” and accused of not bothering to learn the pantomime dance routines.
Now the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool, where the panto is taking place, is offering 25 per cent off Sleeping Beauty tickets.
In a post on their official Facebook page, organizers said: “Calling all fairy tale fans!”

Speaking about taking part in the show, an excited Katie had previously said: “I'm so excited to be performing in Liverpool.” “I love the city and can't wait to take my kids and make some great memories.”
However, after a video surfaced of her dancing late for opening night, fans were quick to voice their displeasure.
Comments seen by The Sun included: “Maybe, just maybe Katie Price could learn the routines.” She was an absolute disgrace. It's clear to see how hard the other cast members have worked. It’s clear she thinks she can stand up without any effort!!!”
Another person complained: “Lol you barely had any words, didn't rehearse and Bippo played you off stage. 'Good job you can't sing or act – your family must be so embarrassed.'
It's not the first time Katie has faced cruel comments from trolls, as after giving her Instagram followers a glimpse of the show, she was met with a barrage of negative comments saying she couldn't sing still acting.

Making it clear that he was trying to get the crowd to laugh, he added: “I'm joking, you'll see her. 'She's absolutely amazing.'
Katie will star in the panto until December 30, finishing her run at the 11,000-capacity hall just before the start of 2024.
In addition to her starring role in Sleeping Beauty, she will also play Queen Rat in the adults-only film Big Dick Whittington and His Pussy.
