When it comes to reality TV, many people think of American shows such as "Walking with the Kardashians" and "Beverly's Wife". Hollywood's ladies and ladies are indeed the most famous reality TV stars on the Internet.
In the United Kingdom, reality TV shows have actually been very popular, with various dating reality shows, wilderness survival reality shows, etc., and there have been many very controversial characters. Among them, the sexy model and Internet celebrity named Kaite Price is the most representative one.
The sister, born in 1978, has been active in the pages of major British gossip magazines for more than two decades, and there is a news every few days, and the degree of frequent appearances is similar to that of the Kardashian family on the other side of the Atlantic.
Unlike the Kardashian-Jenna family group marketing towards a rich life, Katie has always been a bit of a loner. Her breast augmentations, public marriage and divorce, five children with three men, and the raising of her disabled eldest son alone are often the news flashpoints of controversial life choices.
Her evaluations were mixed, mocking her for being trashy, addicted to plastic surgery, and cheap images. At the same time, some British people who know the direction of her life for more than two decades support her and respect her, she also said
"Although she has done many strange things, I still think she is great!"
Today, let's talk about the queen of the British drama reality show, Katie Price.
Katie was born into a working-class family in Brighton, England, as the only daughter of the family. She has Italian, Spanish, English and Jewish ancestry, was born beautiful from an early age, and is also quite athletic, in addition to her love of horseback riding, she won the swimming competition in Sussex when she was in middle school.
Katie began modeling at the age of 13, sent photos to a modeling agency in London at the age of 18, and soon became active in the variety section of The Sun under the model stage name "Jordan Jordan".
Young and beautiful, daring to show herself and dare to shoot, she soon became a red person in the tabloids. At the age of 20, she underwent breast augmentation surgery, rising from 32B to 32FF, and quickly became a sexy model.
British versions of Playboy, Maxim, Esquire and other magazines all looked for her to shoot, and Katie became a sexy goddess in the heart of British boys. At that time, although she had a breast augmentation, her appearance and figure were natural.
A few years later, at the age of 24, Katie gave birth to a son, Harvey Harvey, a player who had played for Manchester United. The arrival of her son completely changed Katie's life.
As soon as Harvey was born, he was diagnosed with a variety of diseases. He suffers from optic nerve dysplasia, autism, and Pradwelly syndrome. Most of the disease comes from partial deletions of the paternal chromosome (as is also in the maternal line), and is a genetic disorder in which newborns experience symptoms of muscle weakness, myopia, and stunting.
In addition, growing up, sick children will be obese and type 2 diabetes due to overeating due to continuous hunger, which is also accompanied by intellectual disabilities and behavioral abnormalities.
After the birth of his son, his father ignored him and cheated on other women, throwing all the burden of child-rearing to Katie. This year, Katie's fingers were also diagnosed with a malignant tumor called leiomyosarcoma, and she was finally removed and saved her life.
After shouldering the burden of raising a disabled son, Katie took on a variety of shooting jobs, from a sexy model to a single mother raising a baby alone. However, there are no few tigers and wolves in the circle, and she said in a 2009 interview that she was raped by a very famous man in the circle (without revealing who it was).
But in order to raise a son, Katie has to work. Sexy and beautiful in appearance, unmarried and childless, she has her own eye-catching points. Tabloid magazines sent people to follow her every day, and over the years captured several photos of her driving unruly, using her mobile phone indiscriminately, and repeatedly breaking traffic rules. These have become the focus of Katie's public criticism and insults.
The more scolded, the more red the more scolded, katie's "cheap" public image slowly established.
In 2002, the year Katie gave birth to her son, she also began her career as a reality TV star. The reality show of the same name related to her began broadcasting, and it did not stop for the next ten years.
Having children, meeting new husbands, having babies, plastic surgery, travel records, etc., are all the trifles in life.
During this time, she participated in the show "I Am a Celebrity... Let me out! 》。 This show can be said to be a long-lasting show, from its inception in 2002 to the present. The content of the program is to invite celebrities into the forest wilderness to survive, creating various physical challenges, such as climbing mud pits, hanging tree ropes, and even challenging snakes and spiders.
The show gave Katie, who was originally just a sexy model, a more popular one, her blonde big-breasted image deeply rooted in people's hearts, and the emotional line between Peter Andre, the male guest of the same season, was also talked about.
After participating in the show, Katie and Peter also officially confirmed their relationship. Peter began appearing in Katie's reality TV series, doing for the first time what other British reality TV stars didn't do: synchronizing, proposing, getting married, adopting Katie's eldest son, having two babies, and so on.
Katie is very good at using people's attention to monetize. She played with tickets to participate in singing competitions to produce albums, released autobiographies and novels she wrote, and children's books. Fitness videos, perfumes and apparel products are also catching up.
As the disabled eldest son Harvey grows up day by day, Katie also begins to take the child to the camera for interviews, telling the bitterness of raising disabled children, hoping that her appearance can bring a little hope to families with the same situation.
Katie Price became a brand, and she also earned millions of pounds for her ability to run and increase exposure. But maybe Katie was born with her own drama cells, and her private life still stumbled and didn't settle down.
In 2009, Katie and her ex-husband Peter announced their divorce. After the divorce, she quickly became engaged to actress Alex Reid and flashed her marriage in Las Vegas in February 2010. Katie's team, as always, made the relationship a reality show for British audiences to gossip about. The good times didn't last long, and the second marriage ended quickly in 2012.
Before the audience could react, in January 2013, Katie married her third husband, Kieran Hayler. In August, he gave birth to his fourth child (son).
However, during this 5-year marriage, the man cheated on him several times, even cheating on the nanny when Katie was pregnant with her fifth child. Katie went on a talk show to reveal her experience, saying that her husband has a sex addiction and is getting him to be treated and temporarily forgiven.
As a result, katie and her third husband's rip-off has once again become the theme of paparazzi actively watching. Katie, who has been living under the camera, seems to have no other way to escape the public eye except to personally come out and respond to her husband's ass again and again.
In 2018, after finding out that her husband had cheated on her again, Katie couldn't bear to appeal for divorce.
After 20 years of fame, several relationships, five children, and various controversial reports of crazy plastic surgery, at the end of 2019, Katie broke big news again, and she went bankrupt and owed £3.5 million in debt.
With five babies and unable to get a lot of work due to the epidemic, Katie became the head of the YouTube up, filming and the children's daily life, and also cooperated with the BBC to shoot the public welfare documentary "Harvey and Me".
In front of the children, Katie faded the "cheap" packaging and mingled with the children. In order to make her 19-year-old son independent, she also rented a house next to her home and arranged everything.
When a disabled son broke the walls of the house because of his frustrated temper, she also patiently reassured and calmly told the camera that her son was only her, so she tried her best to make him live well.
Katie's tolerance and patience with her eldest son moved the audience in the comments section:
With the broadcast of "Harvey and Me", the film was nominated for the relevant awards, and Katie will also bring her son to the documentary awards ceremony this week.
From a sexy, shiny magazine model to a mother who works hard and struggles to take care of her children, Katie Price, who turned 43 in May, has had enough ups and downs in her life.
