Katie Price (born Katrina Amy Alexandra Alexis Infield; 22 May 1978), previously known by the pseudonym Jordan, is an English television personality, model, author, singer, designer and businesswoman.

She was the winner of the fifteenth series of Celebrity Big Brother.

Price achieved a Gold disc in music with an album in 2006,[citation needed] and was runner-up in the search for the UK's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest in 2005.

In 2012, Price's net worth was estimated at £45 million.[2]

Early life

Born in 1978 in Brighton, East Sussex, southeast England,[1] Katie Price was the only child of Amy (née Charlier) and Ray Infield.[3] Her father left the family when she was four,[4] and in 1988 her mother married builder Paul Price, after which she acquired the surname Price.[1][5] She has an older half-brother named Daniel and a younger half-sister named Sophie.[6] Her maternal grandmother was Jewish, but she is not religious.[7]

Price attended Blatchington Mill School[8] She excelled at sport, swimming for Sussex in regional competitions.[5] During her childhood, she also developed a passion for horses and horse-riding.[5] She began modelling as a child, and at 13 she modelled for a clothing line.[4]

Career

Modelling

Katie Price in 2009

At a friend's suggestion, Price had professional photographs taken and decided to pursue a modelling career.[9] The pictures were sent to a modelling agency in London, and in 1996 she appeared in Page 3, a female glamour model pictorial in British newspaper The Sun.[10]

As Jordan, Price was famed for her surgically enhanced breasts. At 19 she had the first in a succession of breast-enhancement surgeries, increasing her natural 32B to a 32FF.[5]

She also regularly appeared in the Daily Star, FHM, the British edition of Playboy, Nuts, Maxim, Loaded, Vogue and Esquire and also ran as a candidate in Stretford and Urmston during the British General Election in 2001.[11] She ended up winning 713 votes, 1.8% of the votes cast.[12] In 2002, she appeared on the September cover of the American edition of Playboy magazine.[13]

Price continues to model today,[when?] though she has dropped the name Jordan.[citation needed]

Television

Price made cameo appearances as herself in the television dramas Dream Team and Footballers' Wives in 2004. Price also appeared on Top Gear's "Star in a Reasonably Priced Car" in 2004. She completed the lap in one minute and fifty-two seconds."Series 4, Episode 3". Top Gear (UK). 23 May 2004. BBC.

Price appeared on The Big Breakfast in her earlier career and was a guest host on the first series of The Friday Night Project. In December 2005, she released an exercise fitness DVD, The Jordan Workout, featuring "The Juice Master" Jason Vale.[14]

Price was a contestant on the third series of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, a reality television series where a group of celebrities live together in a jungle environment with few luxuries, between the months of January and February in 2004. It was there that she met Peter Andre whom she would eventually marry and later divorce. In 2007, Price hosted the short-lived late-night chat show Katie & Peter: Unleashed with her former husband Peter Andre. In November 2009, Price made a return visit to I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! in its ninth series. Presenters Ant & Dec insinuated during the broadcast that the surprise of Price's return had been ruined by the media.[15]

She has also been the subject of many reality television series that chronicle her domestic life. This started with a trio of Channel 4 documentaries by film-maker Richard Macer: Jordan: The Truth About Me (2002), Jordan: The Model Mum and Jordan: You Don't Even Know Me (both 2004), and was followed Jordan Gets Even on Five in 2004. She later appeared in the documentary Jordan: Living With a Dream (Channel 4) and then launched the Katie & Peter franchise on ITV2 which documented the lives of Price and former husband Peter Andre. This franchise included several fly-on-the-wall reality series which comprised When Jordan Met Peter, Jordan & Peter: Laid Bare and Jordan & Peter: Marriage and Mayhem between 2004 and 2005; Katie & Peter: The Next Chapter, Katie & Peter: The Baby Diaries and Katie & Peter: Unleashed in 2007; Katie & Peter: Down Under and Katie & Peter: African Adventures in 2008; and Katie & Peter: Stateside in 2009.[16][17] The pair's separation in 2009 resulted in their individual shows being recorded: What Katie Did Next continued on ITV2 until 2011.[citation needed]

Price danced with her then-boyfriend Leandro Penna on the Argentine television programme Bailando por un Sueño 2012, a spin-off of Strictly Come Dancing.

In 2015, Price appeared on the fifteenth series of Celebrity Big Brother. She had been previously invited to appear on the show.[18] On 6 February 2015, Price finished as the winner of the series.[19]

She released her first autobiography Being Jordan in May 2004.[20] She conducted a 10-day book-signing tour which helped to propel her to first position in the Nielsen BookScan hardback sales chart and to sell 97,090 copies in one year; and over 1,000,000 as of January 2007.[23][24][25] Her second autobiography, A Whole New World, was published in January 2006. It reached number two in the hardback general category and sold 198,105 copies by 1 April 2006.[26]

Her second novel, Crystal, about a young woman's efforts to become a singer, sold 159,407 copies during the first three months after its release in June 2007.[27][28][29] In July 2008, Price released her third novel, Angel Uncovered. In July 2009, Price released a novel entitled Sapphire which was number 1 on the hardback fiction chart for four consecutive weeks and sold 42,215 copies in its first two weeks in the UK alone.[30] Price released her fifth novel, Paradise, in July 2010.[31]. In 2014, Katie Price released her tenth novel "Make My Wish Come True".Cite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page).

In 2006 Price signed a £300,000 advance with Random House for Katie Price's Perfect Ponies,[32] a series of children's books, with the first 6 released in 2007. New book in the series have been released ongoing, with 12 in total as of 2017.[24][dead link][33]

Price's daughter Princess landed her own book deal at just nine years old in 2017.[34]

Music

Price was runner-up in the selection contest for a representative for the United Kingdom at the 2005 Eurovision Song Contest. The selection process, named Making Your Mind Up, was broadcast live on television in March 2005. Price sang a song titled "Not Just Anybody".[37]

In July 2010, Price released "Free to Love Again", a non-album single. About the release, she explained: "I'm not a singer, this is just something that I'm doing for fun. It's not like I'm worried about getting a chart position or number one, this is purely for fun. Whether people like it or not, I'm doing it."[38]

Fashion and beauty

She brought out her first perfume, "Stunning", in 2007.[39]

Personal life

Marriages

Price and Peter Andre got together after spending time on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, and they married in September 2005 at Highclere Castle, Hampshire. In May 2009 they announced that they were separating.[43][44][45]

In July 2009, Price began dating MMA fighter and former Hollyoaks actor Alex Reid.[46] On 2 February 2010, Price married Reid in a private ceremony in Las Vegas at the chapel in the Wynn Hotel.[47] They later also formally married in a church in the UK; the ceremony was filmed for her TV series. They separated in January 2011.[48]

She married Kieran Hayler, at the Sandals Royal Bahamian Resort and Spa in the Bahamas on 16 January 2013. Hayler proposed on Christmas Day 2012.[49][50] She has since separated from Kieran.

Children

Katie Price gave birth to her first child, son Harvey Price, in Brighton in May 2002. Harvey's father is former footballer Dwight Yorke. Harvey was found to be blind, having a condition known as septo-optic dysplasia, meaning that the development of his optic nerve was unpredictable. As he has matured, she has also discovered that he is on the autistic spectrum, gains weight easily because he suffers from Prader–Willi syndrome, and finds walking difficult.[51]

In June 2005, she gave birth by Caesarean section to her second son, Junior Savva Andreas Andre. In June 2007, she gave birth to her third child, daughter Princess Tiaamii Crystal Esther Andre.[52]

In August 2013, Price gave birth to her third son, Jett Riviera Hayler. On 4 August 2014, she gave birth to a second daughter, Bunny Hayler, two weeks prematurely.[53]

Surgery

In 2002, Price was treated for a leiomyosarcoma on her finger. The cancerous tumour was removed at a Nuffield Hospital near her Brighton home.[54]

In December 2007, Price underwent surgery in the United States to reduce the size of her breast implants and also had rhinoplasty. However, she was not happy with the results of her breast implants, so returned to Beverly Hills, California in July 2008 for corrective surgery. She returned to the United Kingdom with much smaller size 32C breasts.[55]

In September 2009, Price claimed that she had previously been raped by a "famous celebrity", but had not reported the incident. Price insisted that she would "absolutely never" reveal who the attacker was.[56] Surrey Police stated that they had not contacted Price: "No allegation of rape has been made and Miss Price will not be making a statement to police".[57]

Personal debt

In August 2018 Price was able to avoid bankruptcy after a High Court hearing was adjourned to give her three months to pay off her debts, reportedly totalling more than £250,000, nearly a tenth of which is tax. Price did not attend court, but submitted proposals for an Individual Voluntary Arrangemnt (IVA), whereby creditors are repaid over a period of time.[58][59]
