Katie Price reportedly pulled out of an appearance at the Mighty Hoopla festival in London on Saturday as one of her horses was dying.
The 43-year-old was in line to appear in public for the first time since she was allegedly assaulted at her home last month in an event branded 'An Audience With Katie Price'.
According to The Sun, however, Price was forced to withdraw from the festival at the last moment after her 18-year-old horse Wallis fell "seriously ill".
"Katie was keen to get back out there and see her fans but her horse has been taken away for medical treatment," a source told the newspaper.
"She's had Wallis for 12 years and he is very well-loved in the family. He has been very unwell in recent weeks.
"Katie feels she has to be by his side as she fears he's dying. She's absolutely devastated."
Other performers at Mighty Hoopla included Cheryl Cole, Alexandra Burke and Whigfield.
