First Peter Andre said he'd had enough of model Jordan aka Katie Price.
Now even an imitator is considering walking out on the busty Brighton star.
Gabriele Randone, a professional Jordan lookalike, said she has received so much abuse since Katie Price s public split with her husband that she is considering ditching her job.
Like the real Jordan, Miss Randone has spent a fortune on two breast enhancements costing £8,000 and spent thousands more on revealing outfits, fake tan and constantly changing hairstyles.
But the 24-year-old mother-of-one, who earns £100 an hour impersonating the former Patcham High pupil, says she's had enough of the taunts and abuse.
She added: "I just seem to be getting loads of bad things said about me because I impersonate her.
"I have heard a few things in the street, usually from young girls, but I mainly get abuse on my Facebook group.
"It's making me wonder whether I want to continue.
"I haven't quit just yet but I don't know whether to or not.
"Yesterday a girl on Facebook was saying horrible things about my little boy.
"People don't seem to realise I am not Jordan.
"I have got messages on my group that are meant for Katie. It's bizarre.
I ve heard things said about Jordan when I ve been in town as well but they never say it to my face.
"Miss Randone, who told a national magazine her fiancé does not fancy her when she's in character, has pledged to keep a low profile around her home town of Eastbourne until she has made up her mind about her career.
The Argus previously revealed the 24-year-old has invested more than £11,000 to look like Jordan and spends about £200 a month on extra personal grooming.
She came face-to-face with her then heroine Katie Price a year ago at a book signing event.
Miss Randone said that although the star was smiling for the cameras her face dropped afterwards.
The real Katie Price and Peter Andre made headlines again yesterday after a tabloid paper reported the 31-year-old glamour girl had been banned from her daughter's second birthday party.

Local people may be interested to know that after numerous redundancies, cutbacks and centralisation programmes, the parent company that owns the Argus, Newsquest Media Group, has decided to close the press hall in Brighton, meaning that for the first time in its 100 year history the Argus will not be printed in the town but in Southampton. Last May they outsourced most of their pre-press work and advertising design to India, which led to around 20 job losses and also the majority of accounts staff were made redundant after centralising with the Newsquest Southampton. If you go and order Photos from the Head Office or branches, even these are not produced at the Argus anymore but by an external contract company. This is a sad day for the people of Brighton and Sussex who have in the last few years and for various reasons, drifted away from what was once a great local paper. They had a local Womens page which is now being sourced from a National Media Company and also they have reduced the editorial team , lost the Sports Argus, Argus Lite, Source, Rocks and are down to one edition a day which frankly only produces yesterdays news. You may as well just check the web pages for local news including Births/Deaths and Marriages. A local paper will only have a “Heart” if it is run locally as you don’t have that affinity otherwise. It is only a matter of time before the whole Brighton Office will close, leaving even more redundant. Sad Sad Times…………… ………………
