About Katie Price

Katie Price (born Katrina Amy Alexandra Alexis Infield; 22 May 1978) is an English media personality, model and businesswoman. She gained recognition in the late 1990s for her glamour modelling work in British tabloid newspapers, including Page 3 in The Sun and the Daily Star, billed under the pseudonym Jordan. Price later expanded her career as a television and media personality. In 2004, she was a contestant on the third series of the ITV reality show I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! and the following year, she was runner-up in the search for the UK's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest. 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 Celebrity Big Brother in 2015. She has also starred in her own reality series and documentaries, including Katie & Peter (2004–2009), Katie (2009–2012), Signed by Katie Price (2011), Katie Price: My Crazy Life (2017–2020), Katie Price's Mucky Mansion (2022–2023), and Katie Price: Nothing to Hide (2026). As an author, Price has released eight autobiographies, eleven novels, one fashion book, and two series of children's books. Her business ventures include fashion lines, beauty products, and equestrian-related enterprises. She has also ventured into music, releasing one studio album (with Peter Andre) and five standalone singles. Price's personal life, including her relationships, financial matters, legal proceedings and cosmetic procedures, have attracted significant media attention and controversy, and as a result she is regularly the subject of the British tabloid press. 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 released her first autobiography, Being Jordan, in May 2004. Price 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.
