Model Katie Price chatted with convicted killer Oscar Pistorius during his trial, she has revealed.

The former Page 3 girl, from Brighton, told a national newspaper she received direct messages from the Paralympian on Twitter after she voiced opinions about his case earlier in the year.

In particular she said she would not judge him on media reports.

The South African is reported to have messaged the 36-year-old thanking her for the support. She added that there was other “general chit-chat”.

The former Patcham High School girl has said she now wants to interview Pistorius.

The 27-year-old was jailed for five years for the culpable homicide of his then girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

He shot the model through the bathroom door of his luxury home on Valentine’s Day 2013.
