Katie Price Biography

Katie Jordan Price Celebrity Pictures, Katie Price was born on May 22, 1978, and grew up in the seaside town of Brighton in Sussex, England. The decision to embark on a modeling career came after a friend suggested a session with a professional photographer. The pictures were sent to an agency in London and, to her astonishment, she was invited to participate in a photo shoot.

Katie Price soon signed a contract and became a Page 3 sensation, changing her name to Jordan shortly thereafter. As her popularity grew, her relationship with an electrician began to decline and the couple parted in 1997. Other dalliances included football (soccer) star Teddy Sheringham and showjumper Oliver Skeete.

Katie Price (now known as Jordan) shifted her focus to a career in music, training with a vocal coach and utilizing her contacts gained via her relationship with Bowers to land a record deal. And she put her hot body to good use, posing on the cover of Playboy's September 2002 issue. Thanks to that pictorial, fans could get a glimpse of her new FF breasts after a total of three implant operations.

In 2002, she also released her very own calendar and became the proud mother of baby Harvey in May (whom she named after her grandfather); Manchester United star Dwight Yorke is the father, but they are no longer together.

Famous for being famous, Katie Price was the subject of a trilogy of documentaries (directed by BBC filmmaker Richard Macer), starting with Jordan: The Truth About Me (2002), followed by Jordan: The Model Mum (2003), and concluding with Jordan: You Don't Even Know Me (2004). The films follow Katie Price from her modeling days to her pregnancy to the birth of her child and separation from her boyfriend, all while seeing her life played out in the British tabloids. Unfortunately, Katie learned that her son, Harvey, was born blind, as his optic nerve didn't develop properly.

Throughout her career, Katie Price has appeared as herself in British TV shows such as The Frank Skinner Show, Dream Team and The Dunphy Show. She generated the most buzz, however, with her stint on the celebrity reality show I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! in 2004, when she began a highly publicized relationship with her "costar," Aussie singer Peter Andre. They had their first child, Junior Andre, in June 2005 and were married on September 10, 2005.

In the beginning of 2007, Katie Price wrote the book Crystal and at the same time came out with Katie's Pony Books for children.

She also released her new fragrance "Stunning" in November 2007.

Katie Price also worked on various television projects, including Katie & Peter: Unleashed, a UK talk show, Katie & Peter: The Next Chapter Down Under, and Katie & Peter: Stateside.

In May of 2009, Peter Andre filed for divorce from Katie Price, allegedly over her on-going drinking problem. In this past, Andre has talked to the press about Price's bad habit, saying, "From the moment she starts drinking I lose her and I don’t get her back until the next morning." Devastated by the divorce, Price told Britain's The Sun, "We have children together and I am devastated and disappointed by Peter's decision to separate and divorce me -- as I married him for life."
