Katie Price claims that Oscar Pistorius sent her direct messages during the course of his trial over Twitter.
The Paralympian was found guilty of culpable homicide after fatally shooting girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. He has been sentenced to five years in prison, although legal experts predict that he could only serve
10 months behind bars and will spend the remainder of his sentence under house arrest.
Price wrote about Pistorius in a magazine column in March, in which she commented that she would not "judge Oscar on other people's theories portrayed in the media".
"He was direct messaging me during the case," she told The Mirror. "It's weird, isn't it? He was saying, 'Thanks for the support,' and stuff. Just all general chit-chat. He was the first one to message me.
"Because I mentioned him in my column, he was referencing that. I wasn't exactly supporting him, but everyone who goes through a trial will be the only one who knows what really happened.
