Katie Price joined Rochelle Humes as a slew of stars took part in a nationwide applause in honour of the NHS, police and key workers during the coronavirus pandemic on Thursday night.  

Katie was seen outside her home as she joined millions across the nation at 8pm for the 10th week in a row after the event’s founder said it should be the last one.

However, tonight’s salute could be the last one, after the founder of the event called on Britons to concentrate on other ways to support the NHS.

Annemarie Plas told Good Morning Britain that it’s time to move on but praised people who’d taken part. 

Although she hopes neighbours will still come out onto their doorsteps to socialise at 8pm tonight, the mother believes it’s now time to concentrate on concrete steps to improve conditions for key workers.    

Clap for our Carers founder Annemarie Plas has also said that tonight should be the last clap for the NHS after ten weeks.

Ms Plas, a Dutch national living in South London, said she was ‘overwhelmed’ by the support for the cacophonous ritual, but said it was better to stop when it was at ‘its peak’.  

As of Thursday there have been 269K confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 37,837 deaths in the UK alone.
