OnlyFans, surgery, therapy and why I should be in prison – Katie Price reveals EVERYTHING in searingly honest interview

BOOB jobs galore, flings with A-listers and a string of toxic exes, squandering millions, and falling victim to kidnap plots and a carjacking – if Katie Price’s life were a movie it would not be PG rated.

But after a tumultuous past five years, the Price is right, finally, and she is on the comeback trail — bigger-boobed, cannier and happier than ever.

Katie admits wasting a £100million fortune — “lawyers and ex-husbands” — which resulted in her twice being declared bankrupt.

But she is now determined to claw it all back.

Katie says: “I’ve had a roller-coaster life — some dark times, some amazing times.

"But I’ve got experience now, and am in control. I’m on a mission to get my empire back.

“Men have been the downfall of me — my career has always been good and it's men who have let me down.

“I’ve picked the wrong men. They’ve been toxic or given me mental abuse, physical abuse, narcissistic behaviour, gaslighting, jealousy. I got used to that. I couldn’t spot a red flag.

The star now has five kids by three exes — former Manchester United footballer Dwight Yorke, singer Peter Andre and serial love cheat Kieran Hayler — and her three marriages, to Andre then cross-dressing cagefighter Alex Reid, and Hayler, all ended in divorce.

But Katie insists: “Now I’ve had therapy, I can spot signs and realise what unhealthy relationships are. I feel good, I feel settled, I feel excited when I come home at night.”

Ah, “home” — her infamous Mucky Mansion you may think. But no, her home is now a much smaller, four-bed house, also in West Sussex.

Her second bankruptcy dictated that in December she sold her Mucky Mansion home of nine years — so-called because of the piles of rubbish outside and the fact it was sited on contaminated land.

There were also lurid reports of doggers romping in the grounds.

So, it is with some trepidation that I embark on a tour with Katie around her new pad.

First up, in the hall, is a giant golden palm tree, adorned with pineapples. Nice.

But oddly for a woman so famed for her looks, there are NO mirrors in the house — not even in the toilet.

Katie, fresh from her latest nip ’n’ tuck, a nose job in Turkey, tells me: “I don’t like looking at myself. I don’t think I’m pretty, I certainly don’t think I’m beautiful. I look at old photos of myself and think: ‘Urrrgh!’

Men have been the downfall of me

“Perhaps that explains all the surgery — in all the therapy I’ve had, one thing that I haven’t gone down the line of is ‘Why do I feel I need to have surgery?' There must be something that happened to make me not like how I look.”

Katie, who is reckoned to have had 17 boob jobs, as well as facial ops, adds: “I’m not scared of ageing — although I don’t think I will make it to be an old lady. And for the first time, I am happy with my face. No more facial surgery — well, not unless I make it to 70.”

Meanwhile, however, she is unsure what her bust size is — “two blobs of silicon” — although she does complain that one breast is wonkier than the other.

For those unaware of the pneumatic one’s back story, she first found fame as a Page 3 girl in this newspaper during the mid-Nineties, and went on to become a household name by her modelling moniker Jordan.

She would later ditch that name, and revert to her birth name. And at the height of her glamour days, she enjoyed six weeks at the Playboy Mansion in the US, and was earning £5million a year.

In 2004, she appeared on I’m A Celeb where she met the man who would become her first husband — Aussie pop star Peter Andre.

Her willingness to get stuck in to the jungle trials — merrily munching on kangaroo anus, bugs and fish eyes — endeared her to millions as she became a national treasure of sorts.

Things began to spiral following her acrimonious divorce from Andre in 2009 — a Las Vegas rebound marriage in 2010, to husband No2 Reid, would last less than a year.

She tied the knot with husband No3, Hayler in 2013, and they renewed their marriage vows three times before Katie finally called time on the womaniser in 2021.

There were other calamities, too, including when Katie was carjacked and robbed of cash, jewellery and her laptops in South Africa while filming a reality show.

Yet one thing that has never waned, over the years, is Katie’s popularity with men.

Over a cup of tea, she tells me The X Factor’s Simon Cowell and Hollywood actor Jamie Foxx are among her conquests. So is Simon a good kisser? “That’s for me know,” she smirks, irritatingly.

She has also had liaisons with two current members of the England football squad. She was single at the time but, alas, lawyers have stopped me from revealing who they are.

Katie is endearingly candid — an open book who has eight auto-biographies to her name and is threatening a ninth.

She says: “Oh yes, there’s another book in me — there’s stuff I’ve not been allowed to say before that I can now.”

People may mock, and often do, but how many of us can boast of three Sunday Times bestsellers?

When at the start of our interview I tell her she doesn’t have to answer anything she’s uncomfortable with, she cuts me off.

“Oh God, ask me anything, please don’t worry.”

After a round of “quickfire” she asks me to keep going when I’ve rattled through my questions: “This is fun!” she says.

Katie is a breath of fresh air — unlike the breath of two of chihuahuas Captain and Batman who roam the swelteringly hot kitchen. “Oh yes, everyone moans I keep the house too warm,” she says. “But I have bald pussies around.”

Fear not, she is referring to her five hairless Sphynx cats, Jerry, Kevin, Tony, Daisy and Doris — one of whom promptly urinates in our snapper's kitbox.

Seconds later, Batman wees under my chair. It is charming chaos, chez KP.

There is also a new addition to her pets — nine-week-old Cocker Spaniel pup Rookie.

The 36,000 people who signed a petition trying to ban Katie from ever owning a pet again will surely be less than happy.

'I love animals'

The reason is a history of animal deaths on Katie’s watch — including a horse and four dogs hit by cars in separate incidents near her home, one pup by a pizza delivery driver. Another pup suffocated in an electric armchair.

Katie blames “bad luck”, with most of the deaths happening when she was away, and she has carefully secured the garden of her new house to keep her animals safe.

She says: “When people say I shouldn’t have animals, it’s circum-stances that were out of my hands. It’s no lack of me not looking after them. I love animals”

At this moment, I try to give Kevin a cuddle but he wriggles from my clutches and drops to the floor. Katie gasps, as we check on him.

“Ah, it’s OK, he’s fine,” she says with a smile. She then recalls when the RSPCA were called over a report of a “collapsed horse” at her old house.

It turned out to be a metal sculpture in her garden and Katie begged the inspectors to check all her animals, for her “peace of mind”, and recalls: “They told me ‘They’re all healthy, they’re happy’.”

After our chat, Katie posts a photo of us on Instagram.

A troll then messages me to ask why I am giving Katie the time of day when she should be locked up.

It would, of course, be remiss to airbrush her recent troubles.

Oh yes, there’s another book in me — there’s stuff I’ve not been allowed to say before that I can now

In 2021, she overturned her BMW while under the influence of drink and drugs and got a 16-week suspended jail term, a two year driving ban, community service and 20 sessions of rehabilitation.

And last March she was declared bankrupt for a second time, owing the taxman £762,000.

It all swayed the tide of public opinion against her.

Yet other celebs who have fallen foul of the drink-driving law, or been declared bankrupt, have not come in for the same flak as Katie.

During her troubles, she was hospitalised in a psychiatric unit and, at her lowest point, tried to take her own life.

But now, chatting to me on the day a judge discharged the first of her bankruptcies, Katie is repentant. She says: “Drink-driving is horrific. I was totally in the wrong.”

But she added: “I wouldn’t have minded if I went to prison because I would have got peace and quiet from everyone. It would have been a way to sit down, reevaluate.

“Maybe I should have gone to prison, but it was out of my hands. My mental state was severely unwell. But I am so sorry.”

She now hopes to rebuild public trust in her — and rebuild her brand and empire.

She says: “I’ve had to pull my socks up, pick myself up, pick up the pieces from things I’ve done that weren’t clever, that weren’t mature, and start again.

“But I’m happy and I’m back.”
