Sex and drugs scandal: the dark secret that threatens to tear Katie Price’s life apart

Eight months after claiming she was “clean” of drugs, Jordan was last week forced to admit she had relapsed after her toyboy ex Charles Drury, who she dated for two months, gave a damning exposé of her personal life.

In a shocking tell-all, builder Charles, 22, claimed the mum-of-five was regularly using cocaine, leading to her behaving erratically and “disappearing for days on end”.

He also revealed that during the two months he was seeing Jordan, her Sussex home was “filthy and unlivable”. He revealed how the star – real name Katie Price – would obsessively organise and reorganise piles of clothes, while also alleging she had been “sexting” famous married men.

Charles claimed, “I woke up in the morning and the party was still going on for her… [When on drugs] she disappears for days at a time and she’s all over the place. The worst time was over a period of four days, when Katie wasn’t sleeping.”

He added, “Bags of clothes got dropped off at the house. She was ripping them all apart and organising them into piles, then reorganising them into piles of colours. It was weird to watch.”

Her spokesperson denied she “takes drugs every day”, adding, “She’s made significant steps to being drug-free. There have been lapses in the past but they are just that – not a regular event. Katie is still in recovery and is making progress.”

Jordan has previously admitted to taking cocaine weekly for six months as she struggled to cope with her mum Amy’s terminal lung disease and her ex-husband Kieran Hayler’s cheating last year.

While critics say there’s little that Jordan, 41, could do to shock any more, insiders say she is concerned about the impact such revelations could have and that her fans and family may struggle to see past it.

A source says, “What Charles witnessed was the tip of the iceberg. In their very short time together, he’d already seen enough to reveal intimate details about her. When she goes on a partying binge, she often can’t remember everything she’s said or done.

"It’s one of her darkest secrets that even she’s not sure what’s happening when she’s in her lowest moments. She knows she’s been reckless and is capable of almost anything and is worried more could come out that she’s not prepared for.

"She always worried Charles would blab, but she’s panicking other people could come out of the woodwork. She hates the not-knowing, especially what it would mean for her children to read about it online later.”

Jordan – whose recent bout of surgery has seen her undergo a facelift and a boob reduction, leaving her with some shocking wounds and scars – has endured a turbulent relationship with alcohol over the years, which affected her relationship with ex-husband Peter Andre, who previously said, “If she’s been drinking, I know she’s capable of anything. The devil gets inside her and she’s a nightmare.”

And on/off flame Kris Boyson revealed their romance had briefly crumbled last summer over alcohol, insisting, “We drifted apart because I was stopping her drinking.”

Extracts from her autobiography, Jordan: Pushed To The Limit, reveal her battle with drugs has spanned 13 years. She confessed Pete drove her to The Priory clinic after she took cocaine at their home when their son Junior, now 14, was a baby in 2006.

Her outrageous behaviour while under the influence has regularly hit headlines. After a wild night out together in September, Geordie Shore star Chloe Ferry, 24, moaned she “couldn’t keep up with the Pricey”.

And in August, she missed one of several court appearances for driving convictions, instead partying in Turkey where she drunkenly stormed a stage at a club, telling revellers, “I went with Peter Andre because he’s Greek, and they say once you go Greek you hit your peak – but I didn’t, so maybe I’ll go Turkish.”

She also told the crowd to have unprotected sex as it’s “more exciting.”

Last year, Jordan was filmed rapping “I love coke” during a wild after-party in an apartment with two strangers, leading to her checking into rehab on her return home. It was around this time that Junior, 14, and his sister Princess, 11, moved in with their dad Pete.

Jordan has also committed multiple driving offences, and was charged with drink-driving last October after she was seen vomiting in the back of her pink Range Rover, found crashed in a hedge. She was let off with a three-month ban after claiming someone else had been driving.

In 2016, she vowed to quit alcohol for a year after outrageous antics, particularly during a PA at EnergySave’s Christmas party, where she is said to have stripped off in the toilets, groped party guests and called other women “s**ts”. It was also claimed she’d criticised her disabled son, Harvey, 17, saying, “I love all my kids, though Harvey… whatever.”

Insiders reveal Jordan – also mum to Jett, six, and Bunny, five, with ex Kieran – is most concerned about her children hearing new claims over her sordid behaviour.

Jordan started messaging Charles on Instagram, and they met up for sex – which he humiliatingly rated “one out of 10” – while she was still engaged to personal trainer Kris Boyson, 31. He even detailed their first date in August, which he claimed ended in a drug-fuelled sex session at a hotel.

The source says, “Katie can’t remember exactly what she’s said to people or what she’s done, and is now worried about things from way back in her past coming back to haunt her. She knows she can handle it, but she is concerned about the impact it could have on her family, especially the kids.”

Since Charles’ big reveal, Jordan has been hellbent on portraying a “mumsy” image, littering her Instagram with pictures of her kids, but pals say she fears that may not be enough to limit the damage that’s been done.

The source says, “Junior and Princess are at an age where they have their own phones and computers with access to social media and news sites, so the family are aware they could be exposed to the full extent of what their mother’s been up to."

“After spending so long in denial, Katie is now extremely scared, and it’s started to sink in that there is a very real possibility of her pushing away her own kids.

"She’s gone from laughing off warnings and thinking she’s invincible, to being overcome with fear that her life could be torn apart and she’d lose everything.”

Last week, Junior exposed a “catfish” who was posing as him and asking his young followers to send “inappropriate pictures”. It’s another example of the way he is being negatively exposed to his parents’ fame.

The source explains, “It is upsetting, but having social media is a catch 22 – his friends could see things anyway, even if he doesn’t go online. It’s a cruel situation to be in at that age, and Katie knows she has to sort herself out because she’s so scared she’ll push Junior and Princess away.”
