In short

Katie Price discusses her life story “stripping back the bullshit,” focusing on childhood, exploitation in modeling/page three, sexual violence, toxic relationships, motherhood, and raising her son Harvey, who is blind and has additional disabilities.

Guest backgrounds

Katie Price is a British media personality with a career spanning about 30 years, known for modeling/page three and later TV. She describes extensive trauma history including rape and attempted abduction. The episode is hosted by an interviewer (not further identified in the transcript).

Key claims

She says the modeling industry and fame were “damaging towards the brain” and toxic to relationships. She describes being targeted by a photographer who was later arrested for sexual crimes and drugging girls. She claims she was raped at age seven and assaulted by a father’s friend, and that she later faced controlling, cheating partners. She argues she didn’t report assaults due to fear of scandal. She says Harvey’s blindness was diagnosed late and attributes it to missed medical warning signs; she later learned he has SOD (septic optic dysplasia) and later autism/ADHD-related issues, requiring lifelong medication.

Notable examples

Changing her name to “Katie Price” at 16; being renamed “Jordan” for page three; being told Harvey was blind at an eye hospital; multiple attempts to abort during a pregnancy; alleged cheating by Dane Bowers and Dwight Yorke.

1:39and boom we're on and today's guest we've got katie price katie how are we feel like i'm on death row with you yeah i said you see nothing yeah how you been no i've been good like when i went i got asked to do this pod i was like yeah i'll do it because i do a lot of pods and they're like kate this one's different i went yeah it's fine and now i've met you now i'm like oh shit you said it's going to get very deep but we don't mind that so I suppose this is getting called getting to know the price in a different way no one has seen before which I like because that's quite refreshing yeah it's about stripping back all the bullshit because you're probably on a different character every day of your life trying to not fit in but you've been in this industry for 30 years it's very damaging towards the brain it's very damaging especially the relationships you've been in things that you've done it's toxic but listen there's a lot of love in you as well you can't take away from the fact that you're a great mother and you're still in the industry 30 years later you've done so much which we'll touch on but first and foremost how are you?

2:38I'm good, I know I was late Nearly two hours Oh come on, I was you don't realise what I had to deal with at home first because my little boy doesn't go to school at the moment and then it's just chaos in the house but I like chaos Your life's been full of chaos which we'll touch on later on in the interview but I always like to go back to the start with my guests get more of an understanding about you where you grew up and how it all began So I brought up with Brighton brought up with a lovely family just a normal working class family and yeah had a good life, I was just into my horses swimming, gymnastics just very humble very family orientated What is your real name?

3:24Is it not like Katrina? Do you know how some... Oh, yeah, my mum. Katrina, Amy, Alexandria, Alexa, Simfield. Why so many? Ask my mum. I think she wanted to put every auntie, dead auntie, or whatever. And you know when you're younger, they're like, oh, no, I'm going to name you after this one and that one. So then when I was 16, I changed it to Katie Price. You paid like£50 to get a solicitor to change your name. Got my mum and dad's signature that I could do it. and then Katie Price. I mean, come on. That is a big name. I haven't even got a middle name now, so. Why Katie Price? I hated Katrina.

4:03Just hate it. Now, I'm older. I don't care if I was called Katrina, but when you're younger, it was like, oh, I hated it. But Katie Price, it's just, yeah. Oh, yeah, because my mum and dad remarried, so I took the Price. It used to be Infield Price, but then I just changed it to Katie Price. No reason, it's just, I preferred it. How were you at school? Hated school. Why? So I didn't really listen. I always liked about, just always, I know this is really weird to say, and I've got it in all my school reports, but I always said I'm going to be famous. I always said it. And the teachers were like, oh, Kate's a dreamer.

4:41She doesn't listen. She's easily distracted. And I think it was when I was 11, I did it for one of my TV shows. I filmed one of my old school books, an English book. and on it it says what I want to do when I'm older was the title and in it I basically said I want to get married have a fairy tale have a big house horses lots of kids and I want to be a famous pop star or model and I wanted to have a black Vitara convertible jeep wearing a black catsuit and it all came true and now everything I wanted then has come true and beyond but I think once your dreams come true I don't know I think it's an adult and you always there's always something else you aim for because I like to have goals to aim for otherwise I get bored I have to have something to aim for to make me do it what about the relationship with your mum and dad because they divorced at four is that correct they separated when I was at four so I can't really remember my real dad being about so basically my dad used to cheat on my mum because they were together for when they were 15 and then Paul my stepdad used to work for my dad and he used to give him money to take me my brother and my mum out and then he ended up falling for my mum so my mum ended up with him and obviously not my dad so they didn't get on for the first few years but now like they're all friends and that and like if I walk down the aisle with both dads do it.

6:16How much does that affect you because we spoke earlier about the abandonment and the broken home and how much do you think that mould you for being older to then not looking for the father figure as sort but something they needy, the neediness and looking for that male role model? I don't think you really think about it until I had therapy because a lot of it through therapy goes to childhood and I didn't know that everything that happens in your childhood affects you when you're older which might be why I was always needy for a guy to have that kind of father figure I don't know not that I was looking for a father figure but just that male comfort even though I had it from my stepdad like I would look at him as my dad and I had my real dad so I don't know really what is the gigantic modeling um well I modeled when I was about 11 for Joe Bloggs jeans I don't know I just got asked to do it and there was a photographer on it called Keyes Quant well that wasn't actually his real name but we thought it was and then after that he used to take me to his house near New Haven in Brighton and my mum would drop me off with my nan he said oh we'll just do some photos for her because I've got a child model agency and so I'll do pictures like sticking my tongue up but it'd have me in suspenders and all of that but my mum never watched it I didn't know any difference he's like yeah we're gonna make you a model make you a model and I remember we used to make this pineapple drink I didn't like it so I never drunk it and I remember one day we was there and he wanted me to put a shirt on wet and we have nothing underneath and he had a woman there and I said oh no I know I I don't want to wear it, I'll be too cold.

7:58And they're like, no, it's fine, we'll put hot water on it, you know, we'll make it all warm. And I was like, oh, no, no, I don't want to do it. And I was thinking, where's my mum? I don't want to do it. And then afterwards, we never went back. But he used to ring me on the phone and that, but he seemed so legit to my mum, you know. And then we had police protection turn up at the door, and he'd gone into prison, because he had 11 different names, 11 different bank accounts. He was in there for sexual stuff with girls, and he used to drug them with that drink. and apparently he was obsessed with me, had pictures all over his cell and they said if he ever comes out or tries to contact you I have to get in touch with him.

8:34So that was my first sort of brush with modelling and then I was training to be a nurse, a registered nurse when I left school and then not that far into it one of the girls was a photographer and she kept saying oh you should be a model, I mean I was ugly, I still don't think I'm that I know how to work in front of a camera, but I'm not the prettiest of girls. So we did some pictures on Brighton Beach in a lunch hour. She sent them off to an agency called Samantha Bond in Kings Road. So I was too short for fashion. And then went and saw her. I don't know if you remember Jo Guest and all of that.

9:12She had all pictures of her wall. Jo Guest, Emma Noble, some of the page three girls. I couldn't even name them now. And I remember looking and thinking, oh, I'd love to be famous like them. and then within a week I was in the sun for five days there was a film called Strip Tease Demi Moore had done a film Strip Tease so I took an item of clothing off for five days but before I did it they said we'll have to change your name because if you get known to do page three it could stop you doing other work so we just come up with the name Jordan just went through different names they said what about Jordan I said oh that would do literally just like that and then I've never turned back it's just happened from there What was it like doing page three for the first time?

9:52Loved it I'm an exhibitionist I remember my dad's 30th I was like 14 and I turned up all in leather don't ask me why like just I just always and on non-uniform days I'd wear catsuits and stuff like that I knew I was always different how other people were Is that to be different or is it to crave attention from? Just wanting to be different and then I've had incidents with men I was raped in a park when I was seven um I could still remember the guy's face now not that I think that affects anything in my life then one of my dad's friends tried to rape me in a toilet and then he fell out with him and then I've had a guy that's tried to abduct me in the car so my mum was very protective wouldn't let me have paper rounds or anything like that which is all right because I ended I was always at the horses anyway or swimming but there's always been incidents with guys so my mum was very protective yeah my daughter doesn't have sleepovers she fucking hates me for it but that's the reason why because I don't have enough people to understand people a lot of people are perverted out there men and women the majority come from men of course and they do it to people closer to them and it might not be the parents my kids going to stay with but it could be the brother, the uncle, the grandad and I'm not taking that risk because I know I've been a subject with myself and not everybody goes through it but I'm not willing to take that risk it's not worth it honestly and then obviously I started the industry and then there was a famous person um this episode is brought to you by Palmolive family time isn't just the big moments it's weeknight dinners sitting around the table everyone talking all at once so when the plates are empty and the sink is full use Palmolive Ultra Palmolive's most powerful formula removes up to 99.9 % of grease, leaving your dishes sparkling clean.

13:14But that's what you did at that age. And it's, you know, people would get me pictures coming out of nightclubs looking worse for wear or the worst pictures. So I suppose that gave me the image of the party girl. But I'd always be the one out of the group of my friends who would look like the slut, the dick producer, the easy fuck. Whereas at the end of the night, it wouldn't be me. It'd be my friends that go home and I'd be like, see ya and not do nothing. but I think it was the way I won and then I did all the loading magazines FHM I was like a sex object basically um one decade girls of the year all these medals I mean I was the pin-up then um and girls hated me absolute hated me so I used to hang out with um Michael Greco and if I remember him Gary Lucy Dean Gaffney all that lot I love Dean um all of us China Whites Wednesday night Then it was like Red Cube, all these places, Sugar Eve.

14:09They were such good days, but girls hated me because of the job that I did. So you never had the support from the male or female? Never. So I was always hanging out with men. And then I knew what these men were like, who I'd hang out with, not just them, other men, what they were like behind their missus' back. So it's like I know the tricks in the books, what they do. Hi, darling, yeah, I'm just going out. put the photo yeah I'm coming to meet you yeah we're gonna fuck tonight so like I just knew how men were playing and in my mind men weren't faithful no people are surrounded with were faithful every guy I've been with have cheated on me so it's sort of like doesn't give you that self-worth does it because I'm like why have they cheated on me like what have I done wrong so I suppose it stemmed from them and then you end up meeting the wrong ones because you know you hear them say oh yeah you're this you're gorgeous and you're like oh it's about time I find someone like that and then as soon as you're involved then the red flag starts saying and then you're too involved and then they start controlling you and then this that and it just happens all the time which is now with like with the therapy I've had I realized I was in toxic relations and too toxic people don't work you have to set boundaries and you know make things clear from the start how things are but for any man doesn't matter what man it is and so someone won't admit it and someone won't for a missus for me as a protector i wouldn't want my missus having her tits out i wouldn't want my missus and babing so it's nothing to do with being yeah confident or whatever it's because i'm a protector i wouldn't want my fucking daughter doing it my mum my sister i wouldn't want them doing it so men see you as an object so they want that but then when they get it the jealousy kicks in and it's in controlling behavior all of a sudden they love bombing and it's that all the usual suspects if you knew it was so toxic why didn't you leave because you don't know at the beginning and then they know what you do in the beginning they're fine with it but i think when they fall in love is when they can't handle it and then it's i'm in a situation where like but you know what i've done you know my past you know what i do like i don't do it now but back in that day i know i do only fans but i don't go topless and show anything back in the day i'll do topless but that's all I knew I didn't know any different that that's all I've known my whole life is to be in front of a camera and pose a model that's all I've ever known so it's really hard for someone to come and say why are you doing that putting me down I'm like well hang on look what I've made in my life like when you meet me I'm I might have that image but I'm not that person what I mean is I don't go out dressed like it like now I've got the biggest moves I've ever but you'll never see me with them out, ever.

16:55So I do it for me. I don't know, I'm a really weird, complicated person to work out. No, but everybody's, you're pretty. Yeah. You're not that happy to work out, but again. I'm switched on, I act stupid. It's just easier to do that. But it doesn't mean to say, people take advantage of my kindness as a weakness sometimes. So there's been times in the past, we'd all go out, the bill would always come to me. And then like one day I thought, do you know what? when the bill comes I'm going to go to the toilet and let's see who pays and no one did and I'm like it got to a point where I think am I paying for my own entertainment here because I don't need to do that there'll be people who can come out to these places who will want to pay or offer or so I've been through all of that as well people use me to think of what parties they can get people being with me to get a blue tick on Instagram I've just been there and I just say to myself most of my exes I call them Mr Prices because I've made them something but that's my own fault for entering it I don't know When was the first time you were in love?

17:59I felt as if you were in love Probably Dane Dane Powers What age was that? I was about 18, 19 When did you go to the Formula One? Because you worked for Jordan, is that correct? Yeah, it must have been about 19, 20 when I was with Ralph Schumacher How long for? Well, I don't really go into detail about it but yeah that was a strange one but the thing is when I said it in my book he didn't get into first scare because I thought I just I don't even know if it's out there I don't even know if I can say well we can whatever he's gay it's that I don't know if it's out there but don't well I think everyone knows where everyone knows he's gay but I don't think I don't want to come from my mouth they touch a Katie Price on it and um and it's weird because I could tell when you're in bed like just the way he had touched my boob, I just, I could just tell in public it was all affectionate, but in bed it was like, fucking hell, how frigid is he?

18:57He doesn't want to do nothing. Like, I just thought, is he fucking gay? And then a few years ago, literally, it was the night I caught Kieran, fucking my best friend, on the beach on holiday. My brother rang me and said, um, Cora Schumacher's rang me. She's really trying to get hold of you. And I thought, is that Michael Schumacher's other half? and it wasn't it was Cora who Ralph had been married to and I said to my brother she can only be ringing me for one reason it's either if Ralph's getting in contact with me or to see if Ralph is gay and I was right she was telling me all about him and apparently she's the second person I was the first she was the second person like girl they've been with I was there so we had a conversation there so that was back in the Ralph days and that was too posh for me oh my god I remember he wanted to fly me everywhere going to the Ritz he was doing his pilot license and he was in Miami hired the whole top floor penthouse and I it was just too posh for me like I remember I don't know trying to eat with them all and I was just felt so uncomfortable like I don't know it was just too like posh for me so you're someone who portrays himself as confident in front of magazines I am very confident but I'm very vulnerable yeah but where does a lack of when you talk about yourself sometimes you put yourself down even just speaking to you from 10 minutes where does that come from I don't know because I'm quite humble I've done a lot in this industry met a lot of people and I'm not someone who picks up a label I've met that person I've been to that person and I respect places I've been to and parties I've been to.

20:40Things I've seen go on, I never repeat because I respect people's privacy. The only reason I mentioned that Ralph thing was because it was in my book. But it's like, I always wished people would be like that with me and it never happens, people sell me out. But I don't know, I've just always been quite humble, grounded. I think because a lot of my friends I've known since school and my family aren't like it and they're always like, yeah, if you've got ever above your boots, will it bring you down? But I think the horses keep me grounded, having Harvey, young age, you know, knowing about all the stuff he's got.

21:14It's like I had to grow up quick. I grow up, but I'm like a kid as well. I can't explain it. I could be really mature. Like when I'm in the houses of comments and I'm arguing and doing debates, then I put on my like shirt. Yeah, I mean business. But then an hour late when I'm at home, I'm like Kevin and Perry go large. Oh, someone put the tea on. I don't know, I'm the same person, but I just can adapt in different situations. Yeah, it's different faces for different places. Yeah, I'm still the same person. I'd still, like, I'd be in a room and I know I can test the waters to how far I can go. If I can have a joke, banter, or Kate, just keep my mouth shut.

21:50But that's all coping mechanisms. Yeah. Remember from all the shit that you've been through, all the trauma. But not many people can do that, I don't think. Yeah. I know you could take me anywhere in any situation and I'll adapt in it. And I don't think many people could cope with that. Yeah, but like I say, because you've been through trauma, you've adapted to the pain to get over the, like I say, the shit that you went over, they went through as a kid. That's not normal. That's not normal. I've had lots of trauma, kidnap threats, hijacks. I've had it all. How did you meet Dane Bibbers? This episode is brought to you by Palmolive.

It's weird because when I was young, I used to drive around in my Range Rover and just have loads of clothes in the boot because you never know if your friends are like, do you want to come out there? And I remember I was on my way home from a shoot and my friend said, oh, why don't you come to this? I think it was Will Smith's. I can't remember what premiere it was called, but it was a Will Smith film.

23:45And I was actually seeing a Tottenham player, John Scales, sort of on and off. and I don't know, my friend said come out and I remember Another Level were quite big there in the group and we happened to all be in the same place and Dane was there and then came over to talk to me and I remember seeing John Scales over there and he wanted to talk to me. So I was like, oh, what do I do here? Because I wasn't committed to John, although I'd seen him and then Dane. Then I ended up partying with Dane that night and then I ended up being with Dane. but John was like John's such a nice guy and who was Dane was that not an abusive relationship oh he cheated on me bad oh my god so bad and my friend sent it to me he went to do a gig in Ibiza and there was a she sent me clips said Kate I think you need to see this there was a dance on it going oh yeah I was with Dane Bowers he's going out with that FHM model Jordan all that and I remember watching it thinking you fucking what so I was trying to get this video and then I got it so when Dane came back because we lived together I said Dane I've got something to show you he says what I said just sit down I've got something to show you like that and I put it on I said so you're going to fucking explain that then and it's like oh no I haven't you know denied it and I knew because then he went out with Sarah Bosnich when he did this song with Victoria Beckham suddenly I wasn't allowed to go away because there suddenly wasn't enough room then he ended up with Sarah Bosnich who was Victoria's friend.

25:19I've just been betrayed and lied to and everything. Were you ever pregnant with him? Yeah I got rid of it. Yeah, didn't want a baby then. How was that for you? Fine. I could just say it fine. You know women do these things. How far along were you? Oh it only would have been weeks. Did he know? Yeah. What did he say? I can't even remember. You were on about something like 20 odd years ago. I can't remember. What about the thing with Gareth Gates? Yeah I took his virginity when I was six months pregnant. What you're asking me? What are you looking at? Just because I was pregnant, I can't have a boyfriend.

26:03And how did the relationship with Dwight start? Well I was out in a nightclub and I decided that night I wanted to dress as a policewoman. Don't ask me why because that was just what I was like. and I remember being in a club called Attica and was just walking through the crowd and I felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked round, just saw these guys look and they're sort of going like that to Dwight and then he come up to me and I didn't even have a fucking clue who he was. And then my friends were like, oh, that's Dwight and his friends were like, come and sit with us. So that sort of started from there.

26:39I made him wait about a month or longer before I had sex with him because I thought, oh, typical footballer. you're not gonna fuck me like that then i started seeing him and then i fell pregnant he didn't want it and so i tried to abort harvey three times went to the abortion clinic thinking no i don't want a baby but i went like three times sitting there they put you in the gown and i thought oh we're gonna have to have my white sandwiches in an hour okay because when you wake up from anaesthetic they give you your marmite sandwiches and i remember sitting there thinking actually why can't I have this baby if he doesn't want it I can support it myself I don't need him I don't know something stopped me aborting him I don't know so I didn't I decided to keep him and then the following week I'd already done a cover of Loaded magazine with Gabby Richens she was seeing Audley Harrison the boxer and Dwight was pictured walking out of a club holding her hand so I was like he denied it but you see the holding hands walking out the club so he cheated on me with her and that was it so all I did then was sent him the pregnancy but you know of stages when you're pregnant didn't want to come to any scans but I'd always send him a picture and the pages of it because I thought if the baby whenever it's older I don't want him ever to come back and say why didn't you involve my dad always said he couldn't be involved never taking a penny off him don't want his money he could shove it up his arse so I decided to keep Harve and I did and that's the best thing I ever did so you've got the scans and stuff obviously we'll touch on Harveys disabilities but was there any telltale signs through the scans?

28:27nothing best pregnancy I've ever had best easiest pregnancy in fact he didn't want to come out I was three weeks late and they had to induce me he's quite happy in my belly by the sounds of things best pregnancy um they said he would be small but then when he come out he was 8 13 he wasn't small and they said if they knew he was that big they would have given me cesarean because my hips were small worst pain ever ever um so I had him my mum and that told Dwight that I was going into labour because I just never would want my child to be like why didn't involve my dad didn't want him in the room with me when I was given birth.

29:09I had my mum and my best friend. But even after he was at the hospital, but he didn't even want to cut the cord, so my dad cut it. But he didn't want to cut the cord. Dunno. And then when he did see him, he was like, what are these bruises on him? Because they looked like bruises on him, on Harvey. And I was really like taken back. I've just given birth. What do you mean these bruises? But they're called Mongolian blue spots. If your mixed race they're called Mongolian blue spots you get them they look like bruises on you um and that was it really I think you've seen Harvey about nine times in his life um I don't think he liked it that I was with Pete so I remember one time he was in the car he was in the back and he said to Pete it should be me in the front there you in the back it was a bit like oh so I don't know if it's because he couldn't have me or half till this stay I never know I've tried to send him pictures of Harvey on Instagram Harvey playing the piano just ignores everything she doesn't want to know but the door's always open still always why um for Harvey because I don't know because I'm like that I'm like um really I should say fuck off you asshole you don't deserve and you've not been part of it because I don't know I just think if he saw half and saw how amazing he is for him to be like fucking hell I haven't seen my life he's biological son any man can make a baby but it takes a real man to be a dad in my eyes but it's still his biological son and I suppose to prove him wrong that because when he found out he was blind and all of this he was like oh he never played golf he never played football because of you and it's all it's not my fault is it i've done all the tests at great ormond streets for their um when they do all these tests when things are abnormal and stuff so they can use it for experiments or finding out things just don't know why it happened i don't know just one of them things and then none of my other kids have been like it's just one of them things i don't know when did you start seeing there was telltale signs that something have been a bit of mess with Harvey at the start?

31:26When he was, have you got kids? Have you got kids? You know when the health visitors come up? I can't bear health visitors, but anyway. Six weeks old, they sort of say, has he done his social smile? Basically when they look at you and go, whether it's wind or not. You know sometimes when they have wind they do that smile. And I said, I don't really know really. And they're like, because I had like a mobile thing for him, you know, the things that hang. And she said, does he follow it? I said, well, no, not really. So she put a torch in his eye and he wasn't following the torch. So she said, oh, boys can be a bit delayed, but maybe go and see your GP.

32:05And then from then I thought, oh, here we go. What's it for her to say that? So when I saw Dr. Khan, our doctor, still family doctor, and he looked in his eyes, he went, yeah, Kate, this isn't really normal for this age. I think it was about eight weeks then by the time I got the appointment so he said go to Moorfields Eye Hospital in Brighton so I went with my mum sitting there in the reception room you know you've got other people in there you know like in a doctor surgery you sit there like I'm waiting to be next so we took Harvey in I can't remember, I think his name was Professor Moore and I remember sitting there with my mum and he was getting all his stuff out looking in his eyes and then suddenly he just went as blatant as this yeah he's blind yeah he's blind and me and my mum looked at each other like what is he definitely blind went yeah he's blind and we're like right he goes yeah so sorry about that and we just sat there like right and that was it we just left the room no like oh we can give you advice or there's these people you want to i don't know we walked out the the room like that is blind like now what?

33:17We were just left in limbo. We've just been told he's blind. Just like that. You know when you go and see a doctor. This episode is brought to you by Palmolive.

Just another way to save with the personal price plan. prices are based on rating plans that vary by state coverage options are selected by the customer availability amount of discounts and savings and eligibility vary by state and it's like yeah he's blind and then we come out we're like he's blind and then on the way home we're like my mom was like really upset but i still couldn't believe like he's blind what that means he never walk will he walk will he need a stick what happens like you don't expect here like blind like you just don't know and then when you look at him then you could sort of see his eyes because they sort of moved a little bit different and it just made me love him more to be honest because I'd look at him think oh I'm going to protect you so much more I wouldn't let anyone hold him I was very like no he's mine I'd only let certain people hold him I was like obsessed he'd come everywhere with me um but then you would notice his eyes and then as he got a bit older no the hospital admitted because he started drinking a lot of water and then my mum found these charities black jinton court and they're with kids who are blind disabilities and stuff so we had drop-in sessions and it was only talking to the other mums that they said um oh I bet he's got SOD which means septic optic dysplasia and they're like is he drinking a lot of water and all of that as well because that's what happened with our son you need to go and see a doctor called Dr Titani at Great Ormond Street but you need to be referred by your doctor so we did that so Harvey at this point was about six seven months old so we took him there and straight away dr titani said he's got sod we'll give you this medication this medication we're like how was this not picked up by um the doctors so brightson they wrote us a letter admitted when they did an mri scan on harvey they were looking at the eye the optic um nerve and on it showed his pituitary gland which is the front line gland at the front of your brain and it was abnormal but they didn't pick up on it and if they did they would have given them the medication to not starve him as much as much so he wouldn't have been how he is today does that make sense but we didn't sue them because we're like well we it's happened now and we need the NHS for him and then as he got a bit old he didn't walk he used to sit there not talk I suppose he'd just sit there like that and you'd give him things in his hands to try and play with and then we'd my mum would find someone to come up to help stimulate him with his eyes this that sounds so he just didn't walk till he was in a wheelchair I think till he was about 11 um and then we found out he was autistic when he was about four so he didn't speak um I used to make his clothes because he was so fat I couldn't and luckily I like sewing I've got three sewing machines something no one knows about me I make the curtains in my house so I used to just make him elastic waisted tracksuit bottoms because he'd be in size 14 year old bottoms from the middle but obviously they're too long so I'd make his tracksuits and stuff but he just used to sit there and just not do anything just make the odd noise but then he taught me his language and it went on from there he didn't eat he'd only liked certain foods and I think we just kept doing everything we can to stimulate his eyes, stimulate them and now he can definitely see something because he knows all his colours and does drawings.

37:48So I think his typo is, reads 48 I think it is, like his iPad he holds here. So I used to be worried about his eyes, then my mum looked into stem cells and then I said, do you know what mum, Harvey doesn't know any different so why would you want to put a pair of new eyeballs in his eyes that would probably freak him out because he's got so used to how he is now but my problem with him now is not his eyes it's his behavior because now he's got adhd opposite deficit disorder prada willies which he's never full up so he wants to eat so it affects his behavior he's caught his soul deficient so you have to watch the amount of water that he has basically he's on medication for life if he doesn't take it or die other than that yeah his eyes aren't the problem it's the other side but if you see him in the house he walks around us if he knows the house but as soon as you take him outside then you notice it because he's like that on the ground holds you like but i wouldn't change anything about him i wouldn't change anything because he lives like a king how angry does that make you towards men because every man that's coming to your life is left let's be honest every man every man you've trusted every man you've loved have left Harvey's not because it's your son of course but any man who doesn't stand up to the plate no matter how the relationship is with the mother is a weak man and the same goes for the mother mothers who hold their kids away from the father are the worst kind of people on the planet but there's people out there they use their kids for that I would never do that and with Harvey every time he sees he just loves me he doesn't judge me because he doesn't know how doesn't know how to blackmail, he's just the most pure, innocent man.

39:32He's 22 in May, but he's like in a baby's body. But just loves me, wants my cuddles, just wants love, having a laugh. And he's so simple. As long as you give him a carrot cake, some twisted crayons, he's happy. Because relationships can become toxic, and with your lifestyle and stuff as well, I can imagine it would be hard for men as well to come into your life, because it is a Katie Prize show, but Dwight's coming from the football background and it's sad to see because if your kids, you'd think that would make them want to spend more time with their kids in their own mind to try and protect them and guide them through life because you got a lot of stick as well at the start when the disabilities came out.

40:13Oh, I had it all that he wasn't the dad. He's too white to be Dwight's because he was quite white when he was born. Who says that? It was all in the papers, yeah. and then he didn't believe that he was his and I went to do the birth certificate I said well don't be on it then but he did turn up and he was on it then he went to do a DNA test and I said if you want to do a DNA test to be on the birth certificate don't bother like I'm not a slag I know who I've been with like I'm don't sleep around anyway you could see it's his whether he did a DNA or not I don't know but he knows he's his and then And so, yeah, it did cross my mind.

40:54God, if I ever meet a guy, they've got not just accept me. Some people are racist. You know they are. And they might want to know that I've got a kid with a black man because there are racist people out there. And he's got disabilities. It's quite hard to see even that for a man to come in my life. But if you forward it on, I've got five kids by two different dads. Who was he at three? Fucking hell, I can't even remember. I don't know. I know what I mean. I have more aggravation with the dads with the kids I have now than anything Harvey's the most complex hardest one and I get no ag from no one if anything doctors are always like Kate you're amazing with him he's never been in hospital for missing medication nothing like that and then if I do meet guys it's hard because you've got me to handle on my own which I'm a handful not like that I'm just quite lively and stuff want to have fun but then you've got to meet the kids and it's like five times the amount of me in a while it's chaos See I don't see that, what I see is Ready made family But what I see is vulnerability as well, all that shit that you do is an act it's all bullshit It's just a show, it's all bullshit because what you've had to do is then go through all the trauma and pain that you went through as a kid you've had Harvey, so you've had to get into your masculine energy as well, so it must be difficult for a man because you're playing both roles yeah so it's difficult because you don't know who the you are all you know is you're a strong independent woman that is trying to do something which is raise kids and like you say harvey with all the disabilities that the poor kid had and then try to make something of his life and show him the love it takes a lot it takes up the draining and stuff try to put food in their mouth and have a career yeah and the same time getting battered this that which i know and then yeah still having the kids and people forget i'm a single parent mum running the ship you know the exes have had what they've had off me um even though you say that i've not taken a penny of any man even though you say that as well you've still got off them because it is it does run both ways we can sit here and slaughter every ex but like you say you're not easy either so yeah but we don't know what's happened with stuff it's yeah it must be difficult of it but the thing is with the press they do team this or team that and they don't want to put the truth in because they like a villain I'm always the villain despite knowing the truth that's why when my mum's book come out she was allowed to put a lot of truth in it she wasn't gagged I was gagged why do people gag people because they don't want the truth out you remember that and I'm not here I've got stuff on exes that I know I could put out and I never have done because I'm not that kind of person so I sit back let them destroy me and it's over and done with.

43:40I've learned in therapy, don't tolerate, don't reply back, ignore, which is so hard for me to have to learn to do, but I've done it. But like, you know, Jess, what I've got, what I've put out on them all, bad. It will destroy, but I don't do it. Why? Because I'm not that kind of person. I just don't want the drama.

44:57So when you say you don't want the drama, I always felt it was if you caused the drama, if I'm honest. Yeah, people think that. Yeah, because it's where I might have retaliated and done myself for no benefit. And then before you know it's in the paper. So now I just say nothing. Just let them destroy and ride the tide, ride the tide. There's got to be peace. It's not normal to keep having this stress, this drama. But I think most of it is the frustration because it's like, it's not true what they're saying. That's not true. Why are they getting away with this? Because they know I'm not going to do it back to them.

45:27One couple of them I'm gagged and then the others, it's just not worth it. I can't be arsed. Too old for it. Yeah, Celebrity Jungle, big part of your life. You met Pete, you had another two amazing kids. How was it going into the jungle? Were you going in single? Were you going in with no... What, the first time? A week before, I caught my boyfriend with a stripper on the sofa. Who was this? Scott. Who's he? Scott Sullivan. I think he married a girl from Made in Chelsea. And I was like, well, I'm going in the jungle and that was it. And I met Pete. Like an escape? I loved the jungle. I did it twice, didn't I?

46:01Loved it. if anyone could do that show that is the show to do and how was the feeling obviously you got married had two beautiful kids but did you feel I just don't think the marriage now what I know but the two you did look in love and if I'm honest that's probably one of the best times I've ever seen you yeah everyone thinks that but there's all these TikToks that are out now when people look at him now and think fucking hell he was like that with her like I thought it was love but knowing what I know and what I've got there was nothing we did without a camera because we had the same manager and it was like everything we did, birthdays, valentine, there was nothing that we did not own without anything.

46:38So when you look back at that, it's not really a relationship either, is it? That was TV, cameras, magazines, the whole of it. Whose idea is that? The manager was always the manager. Is that the manager's ideas or years in tears? I can't even remember days when the manager wasn't there because she managed Pete 15 years before. But that's money. It was absolutely toxic. But that's money. She even told us when we could hold hands in front of the camera. When I look back at it, But when you're in love with someone, you're just like, yeah, yeah, I'll do it. I love him. I'll do it all. But when I look back, I'd like to say we was in love.

47:08Well, I was. But when I've seen emails or stuff like, if you stick with that Jordan, it will make your career. You start to double question things. Do you think you were getting used? Yeah, I do. Absolutely. Because towards the end, when we lived in Malibu, he was doing an album about breaking up with me. And then we broke up in May when we did the marathon. And then his song came out about breakups and his relationships. Why would you do that three months before if you're with someone? If you knew the whole story, it would all make sense. But I'd be here all day. But how much does your life then become a circus act?

47:45We don't know what's love. I don't. It's hard. It's hard to know someone's for me for me or what they can get out of me. Because I think when people are actually with me, they get to see me as me. Like I'm family. I'm like loyal. I'm not high maintenance, but I do everything myself. I don't rely on a man. I think men can find that hard because I'm independent. I'm very independent. I've got to the stage where I don't need a man or want a man. If I want a man, it's because I want them, not because I need one. Whereas before, it's because I needed a man. Now it's like, if I want a man, it's because I want to be of a man, not because I need a man.

48:23How was it pregnant with your setting child? Were you nervous?

48:29um old junior that was i always thought oh my god is he gonna turn out to be blind yeah was he yeah so when he was born i'd be like that all the time on his eyes is he looking is he looking all the time and he was fine then the same with princess is she looking oh my god i thought there was something wrong for she was so ugly she had the biggest eyes i thought she had turner's disease where they've got these biggest eyes. And I remember I kept saying to the doctor, you sure there's nothing wrong with her? Look at her. Because her eyes were so... She looked like a minion, like an alien. She was the most ugliest baby ever.

49:05Ever. And even Princess and Ritz, we look at pictures, she's like, Mum, look how ugly I am. But she's so beautiful now. But I loved her so much. But she was an ugly kid. She really was. Because for me, men and women need each other. I think everybody goes on about masculinity and femininity and all this bullshit. Men and women have got both. You can get into whatever role you want, but for me, it's the nurture. It's the love. You seem to have always wanted to be a mother. You seem to have always wanted to be, but you couldn't really strive towards that nurture side because you're always getting fucked over, so you had to then become masculine.

49:42You had to then become tough and strong. See, when you were in the relationship with Pete and you had the two kids, did you feel complete? Did you feel that was life or did you always feel something ain't right? No, I was always the more, like when we did jobs together, I'd always get more money, make sure we have separate contracts. I think you found that a bit hard as well. But it was like, well, hang on, you've just turned up in the jungle. I've already got a career going on. You had a song like how many years ago? Like, you need to earn it. And this is the truth, I made Pete again. I don't care what it says, I made him again.

50:18He was no one before he went in the jungle. and that is the truth that's not me being a bitch he'd done that one hit like 10 years ago and I think he forgets where he came from because he had absolute nothing when I met him nothing he was sharing a flat with his brother and sister in Cyprus nothing they were running a gym How was it going through a divorce? Was that your first divorce? The worst ever Why? I was weak I had a top lawyer Fiona Shackleton they were just hardcore and I think when we split the media fuck me just went for me 10 years of it destroyed me in every way possible it was Pete couldn't do anything wrong everything I did bop bop bop years tarnished me bad hurt me bad mentally bad bad bad bad bad see I always thought you had some sort of control with the media no like even now like if there's pictures on me in a magazine nothing to do with me like we came up on the train today and the man behind the desk said oh you're in front of a magazine this week i went am i what have i done this week like we had to look they're talking about how i'm getting married like i'm getting proposed to in a few weeks i'm like what where's this come from they just make shit up make it up every day i'm in the press over something every bloody day i don't know why why i don't care if they never write about me again because if they're going to write something at least write something the truth because it's so now mentally does me here because I'm just where I let my barriers down with it therapy now and let it all out I am a human I know to people I'm a product but I'm still a human and I do have feelings and it's to the point where I just don't take it anymore like it does hurt and as much as I just don't read it it does somewhere register up here yeah the brain never forgets yeah it's always registering somewhere.

52:14So I can walk out. Some people love me or hate me. Trolls, I don't really read what they say. I do when it comes to my son because I'll protect him. The others like June and Princess, they're so smart with it all anyway. They've just been brought up to know how to deal with stuff. But no, not everyone's going to love you or hate me, but unfortunately they judge me. Like if I If I was an outsider looking in at me, I would think, trash, this, that. Rah. And it was because that's how the media have portrayed it. But the media did make you as much as well as can destroy you. I loved my relationship with the media.

52:55Like, it's always a game. It's like a Monopoly game. You give them something, you get something bad. And it was really fun back in the days. Fun. Loved it. But it's not like that now. I think journalism is so bad. They're not just bad on me. either bad or never. English press are brutal. And it's not fun anymore. I love the days, like my press calls. They would turn up, I know what they would want, and they'd give it back to me. Do you know what I mean? It's so different these days now than what it was there. Fair game. I loved it. I still love my job. I love reality. I love Photoshop. I love doing it, and I would never change it.

53:31But the thing I would change would be journalism. I think there's bad journalism out there to write the worst story to keep their jobs and be brutal, not check on anything. And even if they do check and say it's not true, they still print it. So why even bother asking? How do you deal with the trolls with Harvey? Well, I've tried to set up that law, Harvey's Law, and track a troll. That's been going on four years. We're nearly at the end of that one now. All they're trying to decide is when does it become a criminal offence? How far do you go? Now, we all know if we write something, if it's bad or not, you know?

54:06and how they punish him. How did you deal with when Frankie Boy was making jokes on stage about Harvey? Well, I'd done a programme and we tried to doorstep him and all of that to get a comment from him and he wouldn't. But my argument there, just as he's a comedian, doesn't give him an excuse to go on stage and say these things because if any of his kids, wife or anyone had a car accident and they were paralysed from the neck down and he had to become their carer and know really what it's like to look after someone like that. Would he go on stage and take the piss then? No. That's my view. Always be careful what you say.

54:46I can have a joke, you can have a joke, we can all be matter of fact and have a joke, but there is a bit of a limit, do you know what I mean? And the fact, picking on a kid that can't defend himself. It's like, if you're going to say so, at least pick on someone who can defend himself. So after the divorce, you've got three kids. Which divorce? The first one. Yeah. What happens with life then? Oh, I was introduced to someone. That is the most biggest rebound regret in my life.

56:02I get so many headaches every month. It could be chronic migraine, 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more. Botox, on a botulinum toxin A, prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine. It's not for those who have 14 or fewer headache days a month. Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor. Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms. Allerge your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition. Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk.

56:33Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection site pain, fatigue, and headache. Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness. Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection. Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, including ALS Lou Gehrig's disease, myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome, and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects. Why wait? Ask your doctor. Visit BotoxChronicMigraine.com or call 1-800-44-BOTOX to learn more. Roxanne. Yeah, I was married to Roxanne.

57:07Worst thing ever mentally damaged me. The scenes I've seen, things I had to do, I was in and out of that as quick as I could. I didn't even know that man and man or Roxanne. I was in and out as quick as I could. That is just awful. Were you married in that one? Vegas. Awful. Worst person ever. Not for me. Because when he speaks out, he says you're the worst ever. He does it for press. I had to go to court for him. He had a baby with Chantal. She was that desperate because he lied to court about what he's like with their kid. I didn't know her. I even had to go to court to help her about her kid because he lied about a lot of things.

57:54And I had it on my phone, showed the judge, and he didn't really have a leg to stand on. I think he was bitter because he wanted to keep a lifestyle he had. And I remember one of my kidnap threats. I had all Scotland Yard at my house when we were divorcing. And I had Scotland Yard police sleeping outside my room on a camp bed. He wouldn't leave my house and he thought the police were there for him because I wasn't allowed to tell him I've had a kidnap threat. And there's loads I could go on there. The notes that they made on him and who he brought back to my house and slept with in my bed.

58:32Absolute just not for me. Like, I am very open-minded, open-minded sexually. I'm open to anything. but that just got a bit too seedy, disturbing and mentally disturbing for me and I thought I've got kids, I can't have my kids around this. Everyone's different what they want to have but I didn't really know him. See me, you're going through that life then. How do you then? Put it this way. We had a pink operator in our bedroom. Basically it was a fucking machine and it was in pink. My mum and my housekeeper, it was a gym equipment I moved it into my gym they didn't even know what it was like those were fucked up days I had to lock my dressing room up because I'd nickel my underwear and stuff and wigs like it was wrong you want a man to be a fucking man I don't want to be the man well at least I know what a strap on is now anyway wearing your liquors that industry's fucking was he like that before he met you or did you turn them like that?

59:41No, my friend who introduced me, they used to muck about and say, have you met Roxanne yet? I went, who the fuck's Roxanne? And then I asked her, I said, do you dress as a woman? He went, no. Like, if there's fancy dress I'll dress up. Why would it bother you if I was a woman, like, dressed up? I went, well, not if it's fancy dress, no. And then all the time I was tested and I remember one night we had a drink and I thought, right, that little gremlin in my mind, do you want me to put some makeup on you? let me put some makeup on you opened a can of worms and saw the change the voice everything changed really weird he'd be like hello like so fucked up I was like whoa out do you think you can manipulate because you're on it as well even though you play but I'm open for anything I know but you you're very on it you're on it as well I don't know like I say I'm not in the relationship I'm quite good at getting things out of people but I feel as if you can manipulate the scenarios the men that come into your life you know exactly what to do what to say and obviously you're trying to get whatever the but that thing like that of course because i wanted to know is this real was this really it and then it just got worse and worse i'd turn up to house parties he'd disappear and then come down dressed as a woman and that and my friends were like kate what are you doing it was actually embarrassing like embarrassing like nah not for me what happened after that relationship then Kieran Oh So I was not in a good place when I met him.

1:01:17Really not in a good place. And I suppose he said the right things. How did you meet? Through friends again. But it sounds as if you've not been in a good place the last fucking years. I have in the past six years I weren't. Well, six years I weren't, so I've been in the private twice. I suppose I never felt myself. Didn't know about therapy, didn't know about all of that. met him then he was so on my case I deleted him remember BBM messaging deleted him because I was like fucking hell he's on my case then he ran and said have you just deleted me I was like oh no I don't think I did and I said to my friends oh let's just fucking meet him so it was all of my gay friends invited him back to my house and I thought oh he's shy this that within five weeks I just married him nuts and then I was pregnant three months into it he started the affair with my friend or 25 years and my other friend of 25 years he had was with her 10 months the other one a year and a half so I caught him on the beach then it was the nanny of 10 months because I got into his phone I saw it all I used his fingerprint saw it all then it was the wedding planner um so yeah but I was pregnant both times with him and then I just had enough I couldn't I couldn't keep saying okay I forgive you I forgive you I forgive you and then when it's your friends it's like it feels like murders around you like I've lost him lost my best friend lost my other friend like who the fuck can I trust here got that bad how long you married to him for I was with him I think five years but then I had two kids I know it's a long time but he said it changed I got him therapy and then I found he had sex addiction but he was so he's so clever clever what just knows how to manipulate situations so clever i've got to give it to him clever clever man is it hard to leave these relationships when there's kids involved if i haven't got a happy home i won't stay with a man i wouldn't stop the dad's seeing him but i wouldn't want my kids being in a room with arguments and that because kids remember that oh you want your kids being happy i know you can argue like what you're watching on the telly let me watch it there's arguments and there's arguments and like yeah i don't want my kids around that when was the first time you'd done therapy?

1:03:35It was all in the past when I first went to the priory as an inpatient. When was that? Five years ago I think. Just recently? Five or six years ago but I've been in twice yeah. Why did you not go earlier? Because I didn't know about it, didn't deny, didn't think I needed help. I'd keep everything in, say well yeah I'm fine, I'm fine, of course I can cope, I'm fine. When inside you're broken you just get on with it like a robot, just get on with it, get on with it. Were you drinking heavily? No I've never been a drinker. um when I met Kieran he introduced me to coke and that's why I went in uh therapy because I started self-medicating to block everything out it's all in my book so it's nothing new um but I've never been in the priory for addiction like it all people find coping mechanisms to cope um and it just wasn't me I didn't want to be that person like just didn't know what to do so then And yeah, I ended up in for traumatic rehabilitation, PSD.

1:04:32When you go in there, you have to see all the therapists and stuff. They assess you all. You do your blood tests, ECGs, everything. You have to, you can't just go there and say, well, I'm going to be an inpatient. You have to be tested and all that properly. So, God, I wish it was addiction. It's cheaper. It's three and a half grand a week. When it's PTSD, it's eight and a half grand a week. And I paid for myself. But no, unfortunately, I wasn't in there for addiction. It was PTSD twice. what was it like writing your first book what the very first one oh i can't even remember now be nervous no i think i actually quite like writing books because it's like you get things off your test your way your words and obviously lawyers go through everything you have to prove everything's right because otherwise you get sued here there and everywhere but quite it can be hard at times talking through things that you don't want to talk about like this new one's quite hard because there's lots of triggers in it and it brings you back to a place that you've already spoke about to move forward.

1:05:32But it's being real, isn't it? Who triggers you the most? It's their exes. Why is it so toxic with you and your men? Because they've bankruptcy in socials. Do you think media fucks with their head, their attention? Because you look at people from the 90s, the boy bands, the girl bands. But there's stuff behind the scenes that the media don't know all they do and they know they can't write because there's serious stuff going on behind the scenes. serious stuff, like sort of what I told you earlier. So whether the media know about it or not, they wouldn't be allowed to write about it because there's serious stuff.

1:06:07But, and it annoys me when people are like, why don't you let the kids see the dad? Why are you keeping them off? And I feel like saying, you don't even know what's going on. But let them tarnish me. The truth always comes out. But I am getting, you know, I am getting it hard at the minute, and I have the socials police. Not because I've done nothing wrong. It's the other way around. It's tough. How was that then going through your... Oh, it's still going on now. No, through your third divorce. You've got five kids. Oh, divorces, they're easy. I'm not bothered by them. Pete's was the worst because the press got involved in all that.

1:06:45I was the bad cop. He was the good cop. And they played it well. Have you ever been in love, looking back on it all? Dane I was in love with Why him? Don't know First love I don't know Because I was in with his family And stuff like that So And you made a ponder But it was like a toe ponder We weren't I got stitched up with that as well I didn't even leak them tapes I was six months pregnant with him But I don't want to talk about that It's disgusting To who? Harvey I was pregnant with Harvey Yeah who leaked his tapes? Him? I don't know How do you learn how to trust now? I don't I don't tarnish everyone the same but I've got rid of a lot of people out in my life when I say so many people who I look at as a trigger or what do they bring me to my life really and if they don't I don't need them in my life I'm too old for it now not too old just too exhausted with it all and how my support network and what I've got around me now I'm just quite happy with no ag no drums and things that although there's lots of drum things are settling because I've learned now how to not retaliate to things to do this and just by the time it will all go through there's always and then just ride the wave just bite it I've learned to cope with it whereas before I didn't know how to cope because things would just go around in my brain ruminate ruminate thinking oh my god this oh my god that oh my god that and when you're in that situation it's like noise so I've learnt to deal with it all and know how to cope with it all I only do work that I want to work I don't take on every job I do what I want to do now I'm not a product for anyone I do what I want to do because I've been a product for people for too many years not human your love for horses, why is that so strong?

1:08:43I love it, even the smell it makes me smile already they say my safe place because they say what your safe place is the horse's muzzle when they blow out air and I'm like that, smelling it. It's really weird when they blow that air and go... I just love the smell of horses. I wake up every morning, look at my horses out the window, just the smell, everything, riding them. Absolutely love it. What was it like speaking about the abuse and stuff for the first time? Which abuse? From at all when you eventually opened up and started speaking out to therapy sessions? um it's that was wasn't the problem it's the men how i let them get me in a situation of controlling me and stuff like that um i'd never let it happen again ever never but you say that you're fucking 45 it's taken me that long because i didn't have therapy in that before you just go along with it what was a big brother house like boring as fuck because you won that no i don't how I was so boring in there I didn't even get my bikini off even my boob was half hanging out don't even know how won that show I was so boring and the surgeon came three times a week to dress my boob and then the night before the final they thought I was getting septic because I went to the hospital twice while I was in there and everyone was saying in the house don't why you it's not like you need the money why don't you go I went no I've been in it just as long if I might have a chance to win it like you lot it's not about money it's about achieving it and then they had to check my temperature every four hours as soon as i got out we went straight to belgium and had my boobs out for six months they were that bad do you think you won it though because you are being you and not someone oh i would have been me anyway like no it was me but like no i wasn't the one arguing it was like katie hopkins and all that so thank god they were arguing otherwise if there was no arguments it would have been so boring how did you go on with katie she talks about me now but the thing is she'd be the type that if i hold my cup she'd try and start on anyone so say i hold my cup she'd be like oh don't you hold your cup funny and inside i wanted to say why don't you fuck off you so instead i'd be like yeah i suppose i do really like that because i'm so tolerant chilled laid back believe it or not um and i don't know if That comes from Harvey, because you have to be so patient, so laid back and so calm that I don't know if I've learnt it from him.

1:11:16There's situations, I'm quite good in situations, diffusing things, being calm. But then if I go, I go. How much surgery have you had? I don't know. Even if I Google it, they seem to know more than me. I don't know. I haven't finished yet, though. I say to my mum in 10 years I'll probably look transparent because I'll have my face like that you'll see all my veins Jackie love surgery what was Sylvester Saron's mum name? yep Jackie but that's rank the thing is with me fucking that's rank but the thing is with me I do stuff and I tell everyone what I do and I don't mind telling everyone what I've done it's when you get people who've had work done they're like oh I'm natural it's like fuck are you natural no you're fucking not you've got filler here your lips here that but i tell everyone i don't care but what i say to princess i did all my modeling career natural apart from my boobs and there was no airbrushing there was none of that when i did it but now i'm in my 40s i'm 45 yeah i am starting on my face and just have my lips done and all that why not it's my body beautiful oh i don't hate all that see the natural like that gross fucking stunning beautiful i don't I look at little princess she goes well thanks mum because I look like you I said princess you're beautiful but I don't look at them pictures and think I'm beautiful I hate how I look there it's weird isn't it and what if your daughter goes down the same route that you went she won't they've seen what it's like in the middle they won't but is that a concern that is she possibly because I know she won't she's just she knows she's stunning she knows she is and it's like I say to her look you've got naturally look at you you're just like perfect it you don't need it and i'm like and all these people on social media you know they don't look like that we all use the same filter i use the filter but then i use them because i'm old and actually i like that fake look i love fake look but she knows that a lot of people you see it isn't how it is no one really looks like that how many catfishes there are out there how do you protect your kids because you're one of the biggest names in the uk especially in this industry how do you protect your kids from that?

1:13:28Junior and princess. A lot of those celebrities, you'll see their kids going fucking ends up addicts and heads are fucked. How do you maintain that? They are so well-mannered, so polite. Does her dad play a part in that though? I don't talk to him. But does he get his kids? We both have them. Yeah, so that must play a part, that must help. So they're sensible, switched on, they know how it works and they're very like, yeah they're not the types to go off partying that they're very focused on what they want to do which is quite refreshing yeah as much as the relationships have been toxic at least he still sees his kids yeah we both do yeah like you i you never ever my advice to anyone listen to this man or woman never ever stop your kids seeing the other parent unless there's a proper reason like where socials or police are involved and there's a proper reason where you're protecting the safeguarding your kids that's different or you can have supervised contact um but other than that i don't i hate it when people play you're not having the kids and you're not doing that because why it's not the kids fault is it how what because obviously i see harvey's videos and he is funny like how is that when you're when he's on the reality shows and your youtube channel and he wants to is that okay for now because people like because it is funny because i've got not a lot of fucking dark humour sense but it's still funny that he shit because you laugh him swearing for me that's funny oh but harvey he knows i don't know how he's not stupid like people think because of his way he has it in context every fucking time like if there's a camera there just come up and go hello you i'm like harve what are you doing and he goes like Like, you just, you know what he's like, isn't he?

1:15:16Yeah. He's so funny. And then sometimes I listen to him and it sounds like me. I don't know if I mimic him or he mimics me. We just say the same things like, he's just so funny. Really funny. Yeah. He just makes me laugh. How was it when he put him into the, like, if he had to go to a care home? I hated him. So he goes to college in Cheltenham to learn independent skills and stuff. but I've done it all since I was 19 you know I'm just used to washing him even now when he comes home I'm like half you're 21 do you really think I want to clean your ball sacks oh mum he's like that I'm like no I don't the thing is he can shower himself but he doesn't do it properly he doesn't know about hygiene so I have to like help and then dress him then he hates deodorant going on then he hates the aftershave and I'm like well you want the girls to fancy you price didn't you oh yeah mum he goes so yeah and then when he finishes college i'll find somewhere nearer because everyone's like kate don't have him just have him like he's got to have a life but it's me being protected because i'd have him at home all the time i wouldn't have anything left in the house mind you but he smashes everything is that why it was definitely it's like duck and dive someone shuts the door whoa what's gonna go fucking flying now Has he ever turned on you?

1:16:34Never. Never turned on me in a million years. He might someone else, never me. He just wants me to hold his hand, stroke his forehead and give him kisses and cuddles. And that's all he texts. I see Texas when he sends me videos all the time. I'm so sad, mum, that you're at work. I need you, he goes. I need you, mummy. So we FaceTime like three times a day. How much has that saved your life? Like having had it as a first kid as well. when obviously you've had other kids, but your first... Oh, I wouldn't change it for anything. Yeah, but in your life, do you think it saved your life at some point?

1:17:08Because I know you've been suicidal a few times. Yeah, I mean, I had a good beginning of my career, nothing. It was just when I split with Pete, it went downhill. That was it, literally downhill. When was the first time you were suicidal? I tried to hang myself before I went in the Priory the second time. I had a microphone wire around my neck in the toilet, and then I woke up, my phone was down the toilet and it was waterproof so it still worked. And I had all bruises here and black eyes and then I went into the priory, it was like that was it. And then I survived it. But I'd never, ever let myself get like that again and poor kids if I'd gone.

1:17:50But my mental state then was so bad because of the situation that I was in to do with men and all of that. that would never ever let it happen again like who survives that me how does that play in your mind knowing that harvey might not have had his mother yeah oh it kills me if any of them didn't have me but when you're unwell people don't say when you're that unwell and you want help and you don't know how to ask for it it's a horrible situation so now that's why i'm so vocal about things like doesn't mean to say i love working i love working and i love my kids but i do get pressures behind the scenes from things at the moment that are out of my control that mentally is like to my head and I I just have to breathe and space from that because I need to be right to work I need to be focused and focus on my kids and that's my priority and I think all the other noise I can cope with has to be when my head's ready to do it because my priority is my work and my kids and my work.

1:18:56Did you ever think you would have got that low? Especially everything you've already been through? Or do you think that was all coming to a head? It was all coming to a head. But I didn't speak up, didn't know how to, I didn't know. Why were you too proud? I just think because I'm so busy and you think if you admit that you're weak or admit that you're not in the right headspace it would ruin work or people might look at you different. It's like I was an engine just going and going like that. Hard. so I always say to people if you ever feel low you're not you're not alone you speak up always if you don't communicate communicate with bills this that then it just gets worse worse I always say communicate is key like trust me I never thought that was you could do that but you're more brave and people respect you more if you communicate that's what I've learned not speaking out is a strength yeah no it is I never knew how to and didn't didn't have the balls to do I was weak to do it didn't know if there was a consequence to it but it's the best thing I did you always got to speak out and how was that feeling waking up knowing that you were gonna kill yourself and you could well I thought I was gone and I woke up and I'm like oh I was surprised that my phone even worked who was there I was on my own were you on the drugs nothing no nothing sober Yeah, that's when you know you're fucked then.

1:20:18Exactly. Doing it sober's worse. What happened in South Africa? Hijacked at gunpoint. That's when June and Princess will always know that I would take a bullet for them. When you've got a pillow like that and you're waiting to be shot, you're like that, waiting to hear the bang. so I wouldn't let them near the kids either. It was like a film. Getting in the front seat, trying to find the cars, put the keys in to drive off. You know when you watch horror films? You're like, just get in the car, put the keys in, and they're like, that's the keys. It was one of them moments. Like, I can't get the key and I can't, and I really fucking couldn't.

1:21:01Then they come along and took the keys. So then, oh, that was just a fucking nightmare, that. my friend still can't see properly out of his eye because where they knocked him out in the car blood everywhere he's unconscious and then they just went but we all thought we were dead then nightmare why were you in there filming for itv never had therapy for it never offered it um because we went on a different route that the director wanted to go on and my friend who's from South Africa kept saying no you don't do that rule let's stick to the route we've already planned to do we want to do it for scenery but it was a place that tourists shouldn't go and look what happened so that weren't nice so if I ever see like a black guy in an Adidas hoodie it makes them go a bit like that like princess she don't like being in cars at night but I now know that if I'm in a car I like to be quite far behind if something happens I can just get out and drive I don't know but still like if I go into a shopping centre and I see security with guns and I'm always a bit like oh gives me like a bit of that because you're very family orientated your mum's been a big part of your life she seems to have been a rock she probably wasn't here you probably wouldn't be here if I'm honest because every time yeah my family are so good the hell I've put them through but not on purpose like when I got diagnosed with ADHD I hate labels, I absolutely hate them.

1:22:32But now they can understand how my mind is connected different to theirs and it all makes sense to them why I've reacted to how I do this, that. Because I've severely got ADHD. It's like on a spectrum of autism. Where are you on the spectrum? And you have to do all these tests. It's not overnight, they take ages to do. Because my brother and sister aren't like that. so yeah that's last year i got diagnosed with that but to my mum it's a bit of relief to know when the doctors speak to her why my head or why do things a bit different why i am a bit like that but to me i don't know different i only know me how was it when your mum took not well um she actually lasted the five years yeah no i remember crying on loose swimming going oh As soon as you hear your son was terminal, you'll think they're literally going to die that week.

1:23:28And to me, it's like, oh, my God, how can my mum just go now? How? But she had it, like, for five years. I know we're all going to die one day. But I suppose it's watching someone close to you deteriorate, deteriorate from someone being so active. And then, like, my brother made me laugh. Like, so matter of fact, it's like we're not going to mope around. We still have fun. I remember we farted in her tube when she was in the other room going, dad what the fuck you stink because he saw this guy in america do it she's like i'm gonna fart in her oxygen so things like that and she'd have her rucksack on and in the garden because it was on a line she could only stop at a certain bit so we're like you on your lead mom like obviously she's not on it now because thank god two weeks they reckon she had left and they found her lung transplant but it was the day on the m25 when all the protesters were on it and they shut the m25 and literally when they phoned at 8 in the morning you have a three hour slot or you miss it so they had to go up to her shoulder call an ambulance on the way so they can get through the traffic and she made it in time and now she still fucking moans at me every fucking day about something Typical mothers Oh yeah I know but she's aged a lot from it shaken a lot from the steroids she's alive but now her kidneys now because of the sterols are now affected her kidneys so they're changing that but I'm like mum you're still alive you know you're always gonna have something now because you're on meds but at least you're alive you've just bought a new house in Isle of Wight you're doing that it's like a refresh for them restart for them all and my dad gets hempecked like fuck so that's Paul yeah it's so funny I should stay at dad yeah no but it's funny she's always hempecked him and oh you must love the hempecking because he's still there she's funny how is it when do you feel as if you've put them through a lot as well with your life yeah but it's not because i'm meant to this is what i said i haven't meant to do i don't mean to do it and i haven't meant to do it and i'm like i'm sorry i've done it like i'm sorry for the things that i've done in the past at the time i can't how i reacted to things or what i did what just what I did at the time.

1:25:44So that's why now, like having therapy and stuff, I know I react to things differently now. I'm still waiting to get the right meds for the ADHD. I know I need it. And it's weird because now I know I've got, now I know I don't sit still, whereas before I know I'm hyper, but now sometimes I think just sit still because I now notice that I do move around and I'm a bit like that. Or when I'm excited for something, I suddenly go really like, ah, which I've always done. and now my friends know they're like hey just calm down and I'm like okay I don't know I'm now it makes sense I notice what I do things how was the playboy mansion loved it he seemed like an old CD bastard him no do you know what this is the thing my Jordan days I had the fucking best times Harvey joined me in all of it he's been in the playboy mansion Harvey's makes you happy.

1:26:38No, he's done it all. They were the best days. The media, it was all fun with the media. The places I've been, like the Oscars, all the Formula One events, all the parties I've been to, all the photo shoots, the countries I've been to. Like, I can't ever say I haven't lived, because I have. Playboy Mansion was amazing. Such a good, like, good time I had there. Why was it so good? Just so different. And it's like, to be on the cover of American Playboy was always everyone's dream. I was the first English girl to do it. What do they call me? The bad girl in London. Did you love that? Yes. No, I loved it.

1:27:22So much fun. Yeah, that definitely was the grottos, all of that. Every Sunday he would have a movie night. So it would be all directors, producers. as we'd all sit out the front with hair from and everyone behind. It's just, the people I've met and seen, it's like obscene. Like, people in a lifetime wouldn't have experienced stuff I have. There's only one me in that way. Like, no one can ever have said... I know some people say, I want to be like you, but they can never be like me because they've never done what I've done. Like, there's no magazines to do what I've done because they just don't do it.

1:27:59Literally every week on a cover or the men's mags. I've literally, that's all I did. Do you feel as if there's not many people who could have walked in your shoes and got through it? Definitely not. I think having a personality helps because there's so many beautiful girls out there and some of them would fuck their way up there. Some girls would waste their money on designer clothes, this and that. I was quite horsey still. I don't really care anymore. I'm quite a chav. I wear what I want to wear. I don't wear things to impress anyone. clearly fuck off I wish I was going to turn up hearing if I fucking tracksuit on the biggest podcast in the UK yeah fucking oh fuck I wish I was going to turn up my fucking Brighton Bristol yourself you alright hang them on the table have some of my land um yeah at least people get to see what I'm like I've got fucking no one to ride it's only because we're going for lunch after but anyway um and I'm vaping away yeah someone ain't in trouble for that but yeah and that's stuff that's why I talk to podcasts I do one with my sister because one it's nice to catch up with my sister and you have a voice like you you can have a voice on podcasts this is the thing back in the day it was all print didn't have a word to say anything and I think that's why media have to be careful these days what they say about people because everyone's got a voice there's so many platforms you can say the truth on and that now but this is a new media it definitely is there's no bullshit here this is you you can only just be you and people can make their own assumptions of who you are what you're so the thing about the uk public they ain't daft either we do see through bullshit i think they're starting to i don't think they used to but i think they are now and i think they can see how many people are damaged um like from media stuff but like you've got a voice like if i ever out a journalist on my instagram or something they end up emailing my sister can she take it down and i'm like what but it's all right for you to write a fucking story but you don't like it when i out you well don't do it to me then gaza he was he was just i love gaza he was just out of rehab and again yeah i love him the reporters left two empty bottles of orcate his door banged his door ran away and then he came out and picked him up and they've got the saying gaza back no see what i mean yeah but that's the media unless you're in this industry sorry I've blown my faith on your face unless you're in this industry like I always wanted to be famous I'm not famous I'm a celebrity but it's not always what people think because you do you get good perks don't get me wrong and it's fun you get out there like that's always what I wanted to do but you've got to remember you've got to be a tough cookie to put up with it because they're not always going to write good stuff about you um I think only a few people can put up with it and get through it it's not easy not an easy industry when people want to bring you up it's fantastic but when you're down because the media don't care if you're up or down they just want to sell papers and it can affect you and it did affect me does affect me but ride the storm I've been in it long enough but I think when people say oh you're so lucky to do that I'm like really have a week in my life and tell me if you'd put up it because everyone around me they're like I don't know how you do it, I just don't know how you do it all because you're after it, it's not a normal job either is it?

1:31:27When are you at your happiest? At home, the kids and the horses and that, people I want to be with actually he's not in the room, JJ has actually brought sunshine to my life. So you've got a new fella, let's speak about him. Sunshine I didn't want a boyfriend, did not want a boyfriend, I've exhausted with a relationship didn't want one did not want one at all younger man 31 yeah but do you know what he's done a lot as well like in his life because he's from LA and he's he's quiet and what I like about him he doesn't judge me knows all like all about my past he's been in LA he's been to probably more parties than me that was associated with people he's done his TV show it's not like he needed me for that a lot of people want to use me for stuff but he's just so kind not judgmental loving seems so loyal i can't see any red flags literally and i wasn't looking and it didn't start off like that like oh should we go out for each other like it wasn't like that it's all been done properly slowly um but it all seems like the same patterns with you no he's definitely not the same Not hopefully, fingers crossed, hopefully, but it's all the same patterns.

1:32:43I've got boundaries. Not looking for a man. He's like, he won't put up, and the good thing is, I don't try and push these buttons to test where in the past I would push buttons to test what reaction. I don't feel I need to do that for him. I don't want to do that because that's not how you start a relationship. I don't want that. And I actually do things with him. We go out and actually do things. Like, he took me to this country thing at the weekend. and I've never listened to country music in my life, but he loves it. He went, you don't have to go. I went, no, if you like it, I'll go. Like, you know, if that's what you like, I'll go along.

1:33:17I actually really enjoyed it. So I think being in a relationship, sometimes you have to come by to do what the other one wants to do. You know, we go to theatre, date nights, like how it should be. Yeah, it's a partnership. There's more pure relationship than love. Yeah. There's got to be an understanding. Like you say, you're coming with a lot of baggage, let's be honest. I do. Three fucking divorces, five kids. And there's this thing, if I went on a dating agency and I, first thing was, I'm 45, five kids, three, would you say yes? No. They fucking wouldn't. Yeah, exactly. But the next one is, oh, I'm independent, got my own money, you don't need to pay.

1:33:53If you don't have to pay for my kids, oh, I might push it. Then the next one, like, you don't have to do nothing, supply nothing, I don't even have to be a father figure for my nothing. Do you know what I mean? it will take a long time but that's why it's hard for me to meet anyone because you don't know what they want but it's true on a dating site of course they're not going to say yeah I'll come and date you have you ever been on a dating site? no I did try and get on that rail one two years they still haven't accepted me little fuckers what's wrong with me? they're not but I don't need to be now but what's your what's your darkest day?

1:34:29my darkest days? your darkest day in your life see it's all noise it's like in therapy you do art therapy and you don't know what you're going to do in art therapy they just tell you that and then they might say right you've got 10 minutes to draw what's on your mind and then mine and it's always the same I always cut a bit off and I have like Pete, Alex, Kieran, police, socials, media and there's two managers of mine always that that is my noise them constant that that lot is my noise yeah how much do you think you've spent over the years fuck knows but you can't take it with you you just can't the life like people worry too much about money life so much about money but at the end of the day we all go in a box or unless you want to be burnt but like you can't take it with you so family and having people around so far important that what makes you happy like having people around for dinner like your friends family to me that is what makes me happy how lucrative was it back in the day like 50 grand 100 grand for front page stories used to be all like that okays and that they just don't pay that money because of social media but i'm all right still got my nice house and all of that you read about the bankruptcy and stuff but you know what there's so many situations for people even being bankruptcies I think that word stigma is so like bad like petrified me but now it's like look it is what it is just get on with it don't just don't let it affect you it is what it is isn't it you can't take everything with you what was you hefna like I loved him because a lot of people not loved him like but there's a lot of people out now yeah they out him now but they didn't moan at the time and they're with him did they like he got them the covers of the magazine them their status and now they want to slag him off that i don't understand it nice guy shrewd guy and i had some of the best times with him and though i didn't have sex with him although i was in the room when it all happened what was what age was he then when he was shagging he's always looked old to me no idea yeah he's looked about 100 for fucking 50 years i wouldn't be fucking my granddad what was it like though when he was having orgies and shit was that not strange were you not seeing okay this is a bit much or were you just thinking i'm living the life went along with it went along with it do you think you accepted a bit too much than what was normal i've seen a lot like when i was trained to be a nurse dead body seen him cleaned him up like things i've witnessed seen you know even like great ormond street seeing ill kids and seeing mums and i've seen it's weird like i've been in so seen so many surreal situations like the kidnap threats, the hijack, Harvey Gray, I don't know, all these dramatic situations.

1:37:25And I think I've survived it. I'm a survivor. And now I'm in a good place to reset that button, like I say. And now I know what I've learned. Just don't make the same mistakes again. What's your biggest trick of it? Eurovision.

1:37:43That fucking out. I would say some of the men I've been with but then I wouldn't have had the kids I did but like I say I didn't know I just didn't know I had to cut I was just one to the other to the other relationship to the other that's all I did because it's all I knew What do you think you're best at? Being a mum love it and talking and talking and talking I'm good at giving advice but shit it's taking my own I'm the fucking same but I am I'm best at being family and caring I love it I like to care for someone just love that's it you think you're starting to look at life a bit differently even though it's took you 45 years same with 45 years but yeah I want to do like more travelling like with the kids I like them to see now they're at the age to see things and experience things because they're lucky and like my dream holiday now so I don't even know how to book it would be like an Amazon rainforest but you know them tree houses you get on the side of the cliffs or whatever like one of them like adventure love it stuff like that because your whole life's been full of chaos but where do you get the chaos then i like peace but how do you then separate the two now no i can i easily do always have done like as soon as i go home i'm like everyone else kettle on jam was on what we having for dinner i'll cook or get a table it's i'm very so normal um and that's another thing i think that confuses people when they meet me they're like she's done all this and she does and everyone knows her but like we're with her and she's so normal it's like well what do you want me to be at home with a ball girl drinking champagne no when's the last time you cried um

1:39:25skiing what happened what happened because i fucking can't ski and i tell you what oh i looked like i could ski i had all the gear i no idea trying to get um get up with my bum filler and tits as well as my body when I'd fall over trying to get my feet out the skis and then lifting myself back up I was literally like I fucking hate this I hate skin and then when it's a normal slope oh I like this now and then I see a hill and then I start throwing I fucking hate this why are we doing this then because I was getting exhausted crying like disappointed in myself i'm like i'm such a fat fuck i can't even get up on these skis my tits i'm like that pulling then it's my fucking ass and then where i broke my feet i've got no um i said full of screws no stability in them so it's so fucking annoying i'm not as flexible as i used to be would you have any more kids yes i think my eggs are a bit old so i think i have to do ivf if i want more and i will have more no one's telling me i can't how many more would you have as many as i can have shut up yeah i would love it that's for me that's what it's all about fame i love it jewelry cars houses it's all bullshit no i have family i've been there done it had the cars the watches the stuff i've got two kids i want more i'm 40 i want another but you have it all for people to go look at their car oh look at that so what would you get married again yeah yeah you're there you're fucked you're fucked katie you're fucked in i'd love to give you some motivation and advice but it's the same pattern you've gone to podcast in three years saying another divorce another kid but i've just met someone and it's no red flags no live as you go on i'll be 46 in may um i'm hoping to do this misfits boxing fight as well I've just had all my brain scan, blood tests and all my things done so...

1:41:26Who would you fight? I think they want me to fight an American girl from Jersey Shore. Who? I don't know, they show me pictures. Just got them. Has it high? Got them to do for that. Because I've already got my saying if I lose. My saying would be, well I should hope you lose. I'm fucking 46 with five kids. How old are you in your twenties? I should hope you fucking have won. That's if I lose. How do you feel going over your story? Again and again and again. it helped you? I think it's interesting for people but I could sit here all day because so much has happened I possibly couldn't just do it all in an hour or two hours because so much so people have to just find things they want to talk about because I could sit here for hours and hours I've got so many stories so many places I like it's literally I'm like a story yeah everybody knows your story and you can see you're a decent bastard you can see your sound you can see you can sit and have dinner and have a laugh and there's no bullshit absolutely with my country but then my w8 smith bag over there and the other hand you can see you're a mad bastard as well do you think i am oh fucking mile away yeah you're off your fucking rocker do you think oh no because i try and say what is it you lot always i always said do you think i'm nuts or great so you don't see it no That's when you know you're gone.

1:42:46That's Jeffrey. That's some Jeffrey Dalmer shit, Anna. My sisters are doing that. Do you remember? I need to know this from you. Yeah, go. It's English. Go. You spent, what, an hour, two hours with me? How do you know I'm not some nutty bastard? It's just because. What can you tell? It's the actions from the years. But again, that's all the trouble. No, that's what interests me. I want you to tell me. It's all the defense mechanisms. It's all the tap. It's all the fidgeting. It's the smoke and the vape. was to being allowed the singing before the cameras are on the fucking married to three men five different kids it seems normal being in South Africa fucking it's mad but again you're going to be tapped that industry makes people tapped you're still here telling the tale so what it also tells me is you're one strong bastard you're one strong survivor yeah definitely and you've come through a lot no doubt you're always going to be up there in the UK everybody loves the Katie Price show everybody loves Jordan whatever act people buy your books 54 books or 56 books you've been involved in perfumes, make-ups it's all coming back yeah you've done amazing and some people don't realise and this is why these long formats are so good because people get an understanding of you they can tell you're a bit loopy but you can also tell like I said it's that loopy, I love it you can also tell it's that I think I agree I don't know I'm just me, I don't know you're a great fucking mum to be there for your kids I love my kids especially when the fathers have been in and out some have been non-existent and we can sit and slate the men as well but you've got to take some responsibility of putting yourself in these predicaments these situations and you wouldn't be because i would imagine sitting with you here we go go on yeah no but with the stories and that because i've seen you retaliate and when you do retaliate it's fucking it's dark it's toxic yeah poisonous but i don't anymore i know but that fucks with men's because we've all got pride we've all got yeah but men have still got to understand what they were getting involved and they knew exactly what they were doing coming into your life damaged goods yeah i am damaged goods but i've got heart and there's still always a way forward and there's always a way I can get through things but at least I admit I am damaged goods but you can't blame me for saying I've been through so much but good damaged goods yeah where do you go for the future Katie fucking hell I've told you it's that reset button there's more to the price each coming I fucking smile because there really is I've turned it all around never thought I would from that moment uh the darkest moment I never thought I never saw the light but I have now and I know the triggers and that to never let me get that way it's a scary place to be and what about only fans i love it oh i love getting my kit off because there's no magazines i am not going to get my kit off on instagram or any of that when that's what i've been paid to do and all like a lot of the older fans and there's some newer ones who love all the jordan stuff so i do it on only fans i absolutely love it i my favorite thing is being in front of the camera i'm like an animal come alive I love it Would you want your daughters doing Onlyfans?

1:45:40They wouldn't do it But would you? No I said she could do Love Island She'd like to do that But I said they need to do The Jungle Junior Princess That's where like The dad was like It'd be iconic to do that If it's still going Junior could do it now He's 18 What's your greatest memory? Apart from having kids I would say The first 20 years Of my career Were the best These last 10 Have been shocking Awful Like damaging, awful, testing, damaging. But the first 20 years, amazing. For anybody watching that's maybe been in a life of struggle or struggling right now, you've came through suicide attempts yourself.

1:46:20Everything. What advice would you have for them? Communicate. You're not alone. You'll be surprised how many people go through things. It doesn't matter how big or small that is to someone else. What's small to me could be massive for someone else in the head, magnified. which where I could probably think fucking hell is that all you're moaning at but you can't judge people like that everyone deals with things different and how they cope with it in their head um like my therapist said Kate you really have real life events so you're understandable the way you are some people might have something small but it affects them like you've just got to talk and I really really have to talk communicate get yourself up the rock because if you don't you'll keep getting further down that hole further down that hole until you will end up being suicidal or losing everything or but whether you've got an addiction or a problem doesn't matter how many people go on you do this do that the only person you can help is yourself you've got to want to do it yourself no one can make you do anything and as soon as you wake up one day and go do you know i am going to do it i am i am i believe you're going to do it you can that's yeah that's the only way the advice I could sort of give yeah good on you man and no one's perfect I'm a pure example of that yeah I'm nuts apparently yeah but like I say man listen you're still here and like you say you're a survivor and for everything you've done and going forward for the future I wish you nothing but the fucking best thank you I think I'll be a good therapist myself no doubt man listen you've lived that life Katie listen would you like to finish up on anything else no I've really enjoyed it actually going back to my roots yeah you've no go ADHD have I told you that was lying split personality bipolar maybe ADHD is fucking life for you you're fucking psycho oh I know I fucking love it no but listen would you like to finish up on anything else I just hope everyone enjoyed listening to the podcast it's been a pleasure not a chore yeah listen unbelievable again thanks for coming on today thank you very much nothing but the best for the future keep being you keep doing what you can and if you want to hear more about me go to the katie price show which is my podcast which i do with my little sister who's a victorian compared to me what is all your social medias and youtubes and stuff for people to get on board yeah don't worry about that you can just find me tapping my name listen absolute pleasure i wish you nothing but the best for the future god bless and take care Thank you.
