Price of security

KATIE Price and her daughter Princess need a hug after toughs in balaclavas roughed up the model in a mock burglary.

The reality star drafted in a security team to act out an attack at her home and test how her guard dog would react in a tense situation.

Katie, 41, took the extreme measures after her family were victims of a carjacking a year ago in South

Africa. The attackers are still at large.

Her daughter

Princess, 12, is still suffering emotionally from the incident while her mum was filming her reality TV series

My Crazy Life.

Katie bought German shepherd dog Blade protection earlier this year.

A nervous-looking Katie along with Princess – her daughter with ex- husband Peter Andre – appeared to be in villains’ line of fire when Blade was put to the test this week.

One balaclava- clad man grabbed Katie from behind to test Blade’s reaction.

The ordeal was too much for Princess, who had to be consoled by her mum. Sources say Blade passed with flying colours and Katie was delighted.
