Jailed footballer refuses to have ‘anything to do with’ Katie Price

Katie Price stunned fans and followers in recent weeks after appearing to support jailed footballer, Adam Johnson, who was charged with sexual offences against a 15-year-old girl, and now it seems even Johnson himself is dumbfounded by the star's interest in his case.

Recently supporting the footballer's intended legal proceedings, Katie tweeted: "What's wrong with a retrial good on anyone trying to defend themselves it's harsh to pick on @f10aye" (sic)

Despite being slammed by her followers for turning a blind eye to the severity of Johnson's charges and ultimate conviction, the former glamour model has now gone one step further and reportedly requested the disgraced sport star meet with her as preparation for an upcoming book.

Speaking to The Sun, a source told the newspaper: "Johnson was made aware of the letter this week but replied, 'I don't want anything to do with her.' He was made aware of the contents but he does not want to know."

Katie's fans aren't the only ones astounded by her interest in his case, with a source explaining that 28-year-old Johnson was put out by her attempts to reach out to him.

"He asked staff to send it back to her and explained he thought it was a bit weird and embarrassing that she is supporting him," they explained. "The letter mentions coming to visit him and she says it is for a book she is planning but he was not interested."

37-year-old Katie has continued to show her support for Johnson's sister Faye following her brother's sentencing, recently tweeting: "Stay strong as I know it's a difficult day for you."
