Katie Price is an English journalist, reality TV celebrity, author, former model, singer, and entrepreneur. She rose to stardom as a topless model known as “Jordan,” a self-made pop culture phenomenon. She eventually started using her own name. In the tabloid The Sun, she was the most successful page three girl. She has a lot of modeling, hosting, and reality TV employment thanks to her significant plastic surgery.

Her personal life, despite being three times married, left a lot to be desired.
