In a remarkably candid conversation that peels back decades of media scrutiny, Katie Price has shared intimate details of her life story on Grace Dent's acclaimed Comfort Eating podcast.
Beyond the Glamour Model Persona
The legendary glamour model turned reality television star, originally known as Jordan, joined host Grace Dent for what became one of the most revealing interviews of her career. Price, who first appeared on page three and in lads' mags thirty years ago, has since become one of Britain's most photographed and filmed women through six of her own TV series, multiple documentaries, and countless reality shows.
While the public might feel they know everything about the media personality, this conversation revealed a much more nuanced picture of the woman behind the headlines. Speaking with Dent while enjoying what was described as a particularly comforting, squishy, soft, and 'bald' dish, Price opened up about aspects of her life rarely discussed in previous interviews.
From Childhood to Breakdown: The Pricey Story
Katie Price delved into her early years, discussing her childhood and lifelong passion for horses that has remained a constant throughout her turbulent life. She spoke openly about her early photoshoot experiences that launched her career and the complex relationship she's maintained with the media ever since.
The conversation took emotional turns as Price addressed difficult topics including experiences of abuse, her perspectives on love and relationships with men, and the psychological toll of constant public scrutiny. She didn't shy away from discussing her mental health breakdown and the challenges of navigating fame while raising her five children.
Throughout the interview, Price demonstrated why her personal motto 'Never underestimate the Pricey' has served her so well, showcasing the resilience that has characterised her three-decade career in the public eye.
