KATIE Price was the celebrity guest of honour at Darlington's annual gay pride event.

The former glamour model, also known as Jordan, made a special appearance at Inside Out on Monday night.

Drag artist Tess Tickle, who helped to organise the yearly LGBT event, said the star had also ensured her fans got all the selfies they wanted during a meet and greet.

Ms Tickle said: "She performed her single on stage and was very accommodating towards everyone.

"She was very Katie Price."

Darlo Pride 2017 took over a number of bars and clubs in the town throughout Monday night, with a balloon release also taking place in tribute to late 'Superstar DJ' Matt Nevin.

Number One Bar's manager Lindsey Sherwood said the experience had been "absolutely fantastic" and said her bar was "jam-packed from start to finish."

The pride event was organised in a bid to bring the town together and create a welcoming and inclusive environment for the LGBT community.
