Katie Price

Katrina Amy Alexandra Alexis "Katie" Price (née Infield; born 22 May 1978 ) is an English media personality, model, and author.

Her father left the family when she was four, and in 1988 her mother married builder Paul Price, after which she acquired his surname.

She has an older brother named Daniel and a younger sister named Sophie.

She is of Italian, Spanish, English and Jewish descent.

Price's maternal grandmother was Jewish, but she is not religious.

Price attended Blatchington Mill School in Hove in East Sussex.

She excelled at sport, swimming for Sussex in regional competitions.

During her childhood, she also developed a passion for horses and horse-riding.

She began modelling as a child, and at 13 she modelled for a clothing line.

At the age of 17, she changed her name, dropping the surname of her birth father Ray, who had left home when she was four, and taking the last name of her mother's second husband, Paul Price.

At a friend's suggestion, Price had professional photographs taken and decided to pursue a modelling career.

She gained recognition in the late 1990s for her glamour modelling work on Page 3 of the British tabloid The Sun, billed under the pseudonym Jordan.

The pictures were sent to a modelling agency in London, and in 1996 she appeared, billed as "Jordan", on Page 3 in the British newspaper The Sun.

As Jordan, Price was famed for her surgically-enhanced breasts.

At 20, she had the first in a succession of breast-enhancement surgeries, increasing her natural 32B to a 32FF.

Price 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 2001 UK general election, receiving 713 votes, 1.8% of the votes cast.

In 2002, she appeared on the September cover of the American edition of Playboy magazine.

In January 2022, Price joined OnlyFans, but raised just £150 from one of her posts, despite pleading with followers to sign-up for the subscription service.

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 by Jordan Gets Even on Five in 2004.

Price appeared on the third series of the reality television show I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in 2004, and the following year, she was runner-up in the search for the UK's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest. In 2006, she released her debut studio album, A Whole New World, in collaboration with her then-husband Peter Andre.

Price made cameo appearances as herself in the television dramas Dream Team and Footballers' Wives in 2004.

She also appeared on Top Gear's "Star in a Reasonably Priced Car" in 2004, completing the lap in one minute and fifty-two seconds.

Early in her career, Price appeared on The Big Breakfast, and she was a guest host on the first series of The Friday Night Project.

Price was a contestant on the third series of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, 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.

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 Andre and included several fly-on-the-wall reality series: 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.

In December 2005, she released an exercise fitness DVD, The Jordan Workout, featuring "The Juice Master" Jason Vale.

Price was runner-up in the selection contest for a representative for the United Kingdom at the 2005 Eurovision Song Contest.

In 2006 she released her debut studio album, A Whole New World, in collaboration with Peter Andre.

In 2007, with Andre, she hosted the short-lived late-night chat show Katie & Peter: Unleashed.

Price returned to I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! for its ninth series in 2009, and was the winner of the fifteenth series of the reality show Celebrity Big Brother in 2015. She has also starred in her own reality television series, including Jordan (2002–2005), Katie & Peter (2004–2009), What Katie Did Next (2009–2010), Signed by Katie Price (2011), Katie (2011–2012), and Katie Price: My Crazy Life (2017–2019).

Price has released six autobiographies, eleven novels, one fashion book, and two series of children's books.

Her Angel novel series topped The Sunday Times bestseller list.

In 2023, she began presenting The Katie Price Show, a podcast available to online streaming platforms.

Born Katrina Amy Alexandra Alexis Infield in Brighton, East Sussex, in southeast England, Price was the only child of Ray and Amy Infield (née Charlier).

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 her return had been ruined by the media, and she left the show voluntarily after nine days.

Price has also been the subject of many reality television series that chronicle her domestic life.

The pair's separation in 2009 resulted in their individual shows being recorded: What Katie Did Next continued on ITV2 until 2011.

Between 2015 and 2018, Price was a regular panellist on the talk show Loose Women.
