If the Price is right...


Go into a newsagents, and look at the magazines stand. Now do this every week for a month, who are you guaranteed to see on the front cover? I'm talking about Katie Price a.k.a Jordon of course, the former Page 3 girl we all love to hate.

She is worth several millions of pounds, and although she is featured in magazines because of her personal life, she is very successful business-wise. She markets a range of perfumes, books and equestrian clothing. She has just landed a £2.2 Million contract to design her own range of baby clothes in her favourite colour, pink, for the exclusive Selfridges chain. And accroding to Hello Magazine, Katie is also set to launch her own glossy magazine which will feature news and views as well as behind-the-scenes footage from her reality TV show.

After her appearance on TV show I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! 4 years ago, her business was thriving, and Katie Price became a household name for different reasons other than her occupation. She met singer Peter Andre on the show and they later married. After 3 and a half years marriage and 2 children, they decided to split up. It was one of the most public break-ups we have ever seen. Both Katie and Peter refused to comment as to the real reason why the split up, for their childrens sake. This didn't stop them accusing each other of things in different magazines. It became a publishing war!

This year Katie made a suprise appearance in the show that made her even more famous, I'm a Celebrity... Get Me out of Here! where she was reportedly paid £450,000. She went on in a attempt to show people the 'real' her. Her attempt failed. The public voted for her 6 times in a row for the horrible bushtucker trials!

After the break-up with her husband, she was seen as the bad guy and well, still is. In their documentary show together 'Katie and Peter: The Next Chapter', they were always seen arguing. I only watched it a few times and sometimes I felt sorry for Peter who would put up with Katie's moods.

She later left the ITV show after becoming fed-up with being chosen for the difficult gruelling tasks every day. It was also reported that two contestants warming to each other bought back painful memories of the 1st time she went into the jungle and met Peter.

Once she left I'm a Celebrity... Get Me out of Here, she dumped her cross-dresser boyfriend Alex Reid live on air. Bless him, how humiliating! It just seems like one publicity stunt after another, and it doesn't look like it's going to stop any time soon!
