Next year will mark three decades since Katie Price hurtled into the world of showbiz, but she has no plans to slow down. In fact, Katie, 47, tells Closer she feels more driven than ever – and is bringing back her glamour model alter ego, Jordan.
Katie reigned supreme throughout the nineties and noughties as Jordan, beginning her career aged 18 as a Page 3 model in The Sun, and then for magazines such as Playboy, Nuts and even Vogue. In her heyday, she reportedly made millions, with her estimated fortune peaking at £45 million.
Now, Katie has partnered with AI platform OhChat, where fans will be able to ‘chat, interact with and experience Jordan’. Opening up about the comeback, Katie reveals, ‘I have my OnlyFans platform, where people get to see me as my current age, but the great thing about the OhChat is that it uses AI to bring back Jordan. It’s an amazing way to be able to talk to me, 24/7. I’m the first one to do this in the UK, which is exciting.
‘I’ve got so many fans from the Jordan days, and it will also bring in new people. The AI side of things is scary, but you’ve got to go with the times. I’m not worried, though. I made it clear in the initial chats that there would be no porn. Jordan in her day was sexy, sassy and sexual. I don’t ever want to take that away, because at the end of the day, that is me.’ She adds, ‘A lot of people would probably be hanging it up now, but I couldn’t be hungrier. There’s no time for me to retire – I don’t ever see that happening.’
And when it comes to turning 50, Katie says, ‘Bring it on! I feel more myself than ever. Age is truly just a number – I feel sexy at 47, and I’ll be even sexier at 50. It’s not about the number, it’s about the energy, and I’ve got loads of energy.
‘I’m doing what I love, on my own terms, and I plan to celebrate by embracing every moment of getting older. What could be more celebratory than bringing back Jordan? The epitome of sexy and sultry, for the first time in decades.’
Throughout her career, Katie has never shied away about her love of plastic surgery. In 2023, she said, ‘Apart from my boobs, I did my whole career without surgery. I’m now 45 and if I want to have my face done, my nose done, I will. Now I’m as fake as you like, and I love it.’
Last year, she underwent her 17th breast surgery at a clinic in Brussels, which was a corrective procedure after her 16th had gone wrong. Katie also had her fifth and sixth face lifts in 2024, and over the years, she has had liposuction, nose jobs, procedures to address her ears and neck after weight loss, and dental work, including veneers.
Despite the backlash she’s received over her changing look, Katie says it’s only made her more confident. ‘I’ve become like an animal in front of the camera. I just love the camera and the camera loves me,’ she reveals. ‘I know how I look, and I know that being in front of the camera is the best thing I’ve ever done. I love doing it and no one can take that away from me. I’m very good at what I do. I’ve always been confident.’
Katie has certainly been through her fair share of dramas over the years. In April 2021, the star received a 16-week suspended sentence after flipping her car while under the influence of cocaine and alcohol. She was driving while disqualified and without insurance, and avoided jail time by agreeing to check into rehab facility The Priory, where she was treated for PTSD.
But she always comes back fighting. ‘I hit rock bottom, I made it through the other side and now I’m more hungry and driven than I’ve ever been,’ she says.
Currently in a relationship with MAFS star JJ Slater – who she’s been dating since last February – Katie is mum to Harvey, 23, from a fling with footballer Dwight Yorke, Junior, 19, and Princess, 17, from her four-year marriage to Peter Andre, and shares Jett, 11, and Bunny, 10, with ex-husband Kieran Hayler, whom she wed in 2013. She was also married to cage fighter Alex Reid for 11 months until their split in 2011. And before meeting JJ, 32, she was in the process of undergoing IVF treatment with ex-fiancé Carl Woods, which was captured on camera in her Channel 4 show Katie Price: Making Babies, before they separated in late 2023.
Speaking on Paul C Brunson’s podcast We Need To Talk last month, Katie opened up about her past relationships. ‘They’re always jealous, and then I end up being jealous, and then it’s toxic, and then it ends up with gaslighting, narcissistic behaviour. That’s all I’ve ever been used to,’ she explained to the relationship expert.
Katie is now keen to go back on Paul’s podcast, telling us she’s agreed to record part two. ‘Paul has messaged me and I’ve said yes,’ she confirms.
Looking to the future, she adds, ‘I’m looking forward to the next chapter. There are things that I’m doing at the moment that will come out next year, but I’m really excited about the reaction to OhChat, because I don’t know anyone else who’s used a platform like this yet. So, it would be quite hard to follow that.'
