Katie Price delighted fans this week after singing 'A Whole New World' while appearing in a Sleeping Beauty pantomime.
The former glamor model, 45, plays The Wicked Fairy Carabosse at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool and pockets £60,000 for the gig.
She has received scathing reviews for her previous performances and admitted to making mistakes in her first week of shows.
But she was praised by her fans on Thursday after a mime-goer shared a clip of Katie singing the signature song from 1992 Aladdin on TikTok.
Katie famously covered the track with her ex-husband Peter Andre for his fifth studio album in December 2006.

She has received scathing reviews for her performances so far, but was praised by her fans on Thursday after a mime-goer shared a clip of Katie singing the signature song from 1992 Aladdin on TikTok
They performed the song live together several times, including on the BBC's “Children In Need” call in 2005.
The video shows Katie flaunting her cleavage while wearing her risqué sequin costume and a horned headpiece.
She assumes her villainous role and declares: “Pathetic!” The curse is there and nothing can change my mind. Not even if you let me sing,” before breaking into song.
Another character abruptly interrupts and scoffs, “Nobody wants to listen to that,” while Katie angrily says, “Evil always wins!”
Fans took to the comments to praise Katie's performance, writing: “I love Katie!” “Good performer.”
Another echoed: “Yes she's absolutely brilliant, long live the expensive one,” while a third added: “She's really good.”
Someone else gushed: “She's a legend, long live the prize,” while a fifth wrote: “It's so nice to hear something positive, she deserves it, everyone deserves a second chance.”
It comes after Katie confessed she “messed up” and made up her lines in her first week in the pantomime.

On the latest episode of her podcast The Katie Price Show, she admitted: “I'm broken, at the end.” If I have to read another line of script, my head is about to explode.
“In the last six days I’ve had to learn a whole script, dance songs for panto that I don’t know or have never heard of.”
“Plus my nerves.” The stress I've put myself under this week is ridiculous. I threw my lineups together and had to make things up, so hopefully no one noticed.
“Before I go on stage, my head is empty – that's because I was so tired.” I need reassurance – that's new for me.
“I'm fine being on TV, doing podcasts and talking about myself, but when you have to learn a script and have people who have paid for tickets, you have to be good.”
The release of the podcast comes at a time when panto organizers have reduced ticket prices for the show following negative online reviews.
Katie suffered a blow at her first show after she was called a “disgrace” and accused of not bothering to learn the pantomime's dance routines.
The M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool, where the panto is taking place, is offering 25 per cent off Sleeping Beauty tickets.
Fans took to the comments to praise Katie's performance, writing: “I love Katie!” “Good performer”
In a post on their official Facebook page, organizers said: “Calling all fairytale fans!” Sleeping Beauty has awakened at the M&S Bank Arena and is spinning a magical Christmas adventure for the whole family!
“For a limited time, get 25% off select shows. Book your tickets now and escape to a world where dreams come true (and curses are broken by true love’s kiss!).”
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.

Her co-star, comedian Bippo (pictured), who plays the castle clown on the show, poked fun at reality star Katie as he warmed up the audience at the venue in early December
It came after her pantomime co-star teased her for only learning “two of her 25 lines” despite the big paycheck.
Comedian Bippo, who plays the castle clown on the show, poked fun at the reality star as he warmed up the audience at the venue in early December.
He said: “This is the show with Katie Price in the lead, she's great. “She's actually learned two of her 25 lines – it's fantastic.”
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 venue 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.
