Wallpaper Direct Biography.
Katie Price began her career over 10 years ago as a talented and beautiful dynamic glamour model known as “Jordan” and had a massive male audience. At the age of 17 “Jordan” was a fresh faced page 3 girl, three breast enlargements later and “Jordan” quickly became a popular feature on the front cover of the many magazines. “Jordan” became cover girl of the decade and came top in the 100 most wanted women in most polls. She has even adorned the cover of Playboy worldwide. “Jordan” became the UK’s number 1 glamour girl and was photographed wherever she went – she was often followed to nightclubs when she was single and photographs often appeared in the papers the next day of “Jordan” out enjoying herself as any single girl of her age would have done.
It was during her brief relationship with Dwight Yorke in 2001, a footballer who at the time played for Manchester United, that she fell pregnant with her first child. Harvey, nearly 5, was born blind, has various illnesses and is constantly in and out of hospital, and is on medication everyday and will be for the rest of his life. Katie’s devotion to Harvey and her being a single mum when he was born only made Katie an even stronger woman for the sake of her son.
It was on the hit ITV1 reality TV show “I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!” in early 2004 where Katie met her now husband Peter Andre. The UK audience watched as they fell in love and have followed their relationship closely ever since! It was during this show that “Jordan” allowed her true self, “Katie Price”, to be seen by the public and the media and they totally fell in love with her. Katie Price has come a long way since this show where her career went to the next level, she has not posed topless for over 3 years and is now better known by her real name rather than her stage name “Jordan”. She now has a huge female fan base and is often described in the UK as a National Treasure.
Due to the public’s interest after the show, Peter and Katie were followed closely by a camera crew during the rest of 2004, to create the intriguing ‘fly on the wall’ documentary When Jordan met Peter. This revealed not only the secrets behind the pairs’ very separate careers, but also the development of their personal relationship together. This was followed by Jordan and Peter: Laid Bare, which screened on ITV1 and ITV2 in January 2005. A 2nd series named Marriage and Mayhem also appeared on both channels and featured their high profile wedding day and surrounding events. Katie and Peter married in September 2005 with it subsequently being called the wedding of the decade! Their wedding featured in OK! Magazine and sold over 2 million copies in just 6 days in the UK alone, thus breaking all records! Katie and Peter are currently filming the 3rd With their series being such a success they have signed a multi-million pound golden handcuffs deal with ITV for the next 2 years.

Katie launched her jewellery range in 2005 and in January 2006 Katie launched her own fitness DVD ‘The Jordan Workout’ with the promotion taking Katie around the country with thousands of fans turning up at every signing!
