Katie Price was slammed by fans online after she appeared to \u2018hit\u2019 her new puppy while going live on TikTok.<\/p>\n
The 45-year-old former glamour model was chatting with her followers over a live video stream with her new German Shepherd puppy she named Tank.<\/p>\n
While streaming on the social media platform, the star seemingly hit the young dog for sitting on her clothes.<\/p>\n
In the clip the star was heard yelling at the animal, instructing him to \u2018get off\u2019 her pile of jumpers to the horror of fans who were watching live on their phones.<\/p>\n
\u2018You\u2019re sitting on my jumpers, which I love. Get off. Jesus Christ\u2026 Anyway, as I was saying\u2026\u2019, she exclaimed before appearing to strike the dog off camera and creasing with laughter.<\/p>\n
The mum-of-five was then seen holding her head in her hands, seemingly frustrated with the animal\u2019s presence, according to The Sun.<\/p>\n

Fans were quick to comment on what they had just witnessed with one penning: \u2018Did she just hit her dog?\u2019 underneath the video.<\/p>\n
Another replied to the accusatory question with: \u2018Omgggg\u2019, sharing their shock at what they believed had just happened.<\/p>\n
Seven of Katie\u2019s previous pets have died while in her care since 2017 and the star vowed to protect her latest addition Tank.<\/p>\n
Her dog Blade died in June, following which the celebrity promised she would \u2018keep Tank safe\u2019, after a petition was launched to stop her from owning any more animals.<\/p>\n
She said at the time of her dog Blade\u2019s death: \u2018Blade, my guard dog, unfortunately, it upsets me to talk about, but has been killed by somebody, he wasn\u2019t just run over.<\/p>\n
\u2018He was killed. There is a police investigation about it.\u2019<\/p>\n

The hound was hit by a car after he escaped from the star\u2019s home in East Sussex and accidentally made his way onto the busy A24.<\/p>\n
Blade\u2019s death came just seven months after the model\u2019s other dog Sharon was knocked down and killed on the same main road.<\/p>\n
