Some attendees said she was 'an absolute disgrace' who had made 'zero effort', while others pointedly said her family should be ashamed
'Besides my nerves. The stress I put on myself this week is ridiculous. I padded my lines and had to make some stuff up, so hopefully no one noticed.
'Before I step on stage, my thoughts are blank because I'm so tired. I need reassurance: this is new to me.
“I'm doing fine on TV, podcasting, talking about myself, but when you have to learn a script and you have people who have paid for tickets, you have to be good.”
The podcast release comes as panto organizers have slashed ticket prices for Katie Price's next scathing reviews online.
The glamor model has been hit during her first series of shows after being called a 'disgrace' and accused of not bothering to learn the pantomime's dance routines.
Now Liverpool's M&S Bank Arena, where the panto is held, is offering a 25 per cent discount on Sleeping Beauty tickets.
In a post on the official Facebook page, organizers said: 'Calling all fairytale fans!

'For a limited time, get a 25% discount on selected 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 great memories.”
However, after a video surfaced of her dancing out of time for opening night, fans were quick to express their annoyance.
Comments seen by The sun, including: “Maybe, just maybe, Katie Price can learn the routines. She was an absolute disgrace.
'It's clear to see how hard the other cast members have worked. It's very clear she thinks she can get up without any trouble!!!'
Another raged: 'Lol you barely had any words, didn't rehearse and played Bippo off stage. Well done, you can't sing or act. Your family must be so ashamed.”
It's not the first time Katie has been hit with cruel comments from trolls, as after she gave her Instagram followers an insight into the show, she faced a barrage of negative comments saying she couldn't sing or act .
Her co-star, comedian Bippo (pictured), who plays The Castle Clown in the show, poked fun at reality star Katie as he warmed up the audience in the venue earlier in December.
It comes after her pantomime co-star teased her for having learned only 'two of her 25 lines' despite the high salary. Comedian Bippo, who plays The Castle Clown in the show, joked about the reality star as he warmed up the audience in the hall in early December.
He said: 'This is the show starring Katie Price, she's amazing. She actually learned two of her 25 lines, it's fantastic.'
Making it clear he was trying to get the crowd laughing, he added: “I'm kidding, you'll see her. She's absolutely amazing.'
Katie will star in the panto until December 30, ending her run at the 11,000 capacity venue just before early 2024.
In addition to starring in Sleeping Beauty, she will also play Queen Rat in the adults-only Big Dick Whittington and his Pussy.
