No boob job joy for Jordan

14th February 2008 Print
Katie Price joined GMTV this week and revealed all about her latest book, her recent trip to LA, how she’s coping with bad press, and what she’s planning for Pete this Valentine’s Day.

Speaking to Fiona Phillips and Ben Shephard, Katie told viewers what they can expect from her third autobiography:

“It’s more like a diary isn’t it? There is lots in there, but this book is actually quite a depressing read because, you know, I went through my depression, then my Nan died, then I had the miscarriage, then Harvey had his accident, then Pete’s meningitis, and the cancer thing, and then Princess was born - so at least it ended on a good note. But the reason I do it is to show people, you know, behind all the smiles on the cameras, I was really suffering as well.”

Katie went on to reveal the inspiration behind the character names in her latest book: Katie Price's Mermaids and Pirates.

“My new one’s Mermaids and Pirates – I’ve named them Katie and Peter, and Katie in it – the mermaid – she’s always having a go at Peter, just like what we’re like in life!”

Addressing the reality of being followed by cameras for television, Katie said:

“Sometimes I’m like, ‘Can you just give me five minutes', because it’s like, I am human as well, and people have got to remember as much as it is reality, when you’re being filmed, you still have got to be careful of what you say. But I do enjoy doing them sometimes.”

Questioned whether she misses her privacy, Katie said:

“We do get a lot of privacy. I mean, at home, you know, there are some things people don’t know about me and Pete, but a lot of it is in the open and we don’t mind that. Because if it weren’t for the people out there, we wouldn’t be where we are today.”

When asked if she would miss the attention if it wasn’t there, Katie said:

“I don’t know anymore, because I always say to Pete that when it ends, I’m going to go to a country where nobody knows me and just chill. But I enjoy doing it now, I’m only 29, and hopefully there’s a few more years left in me yet.”

On her recent trip to LA, Katie said:

“Yeah LA - with the new surgery, even though half of it went wrong – so I wish I never went to America and got it done.

“I had a reduction, but what’s happened is, the surgery – I won’t go on into details, it would bore people at home – but he’s put too much of a small implant in for the pocket I’ve got, so they move about. So I’m going to have to get them redone. My nose is the good thing but I didn’t even really need it doing. It’s just, I asked the doctor ‘If you could change anything, what would you do?’ He said ‘I’d do your nose’. Because I’ve always thought it was a bit wide. So while I was asleep I said ‘OK, do it’."
When questioned why she had the surgery if she didn’t need it, Katie said:

“I asked the doctor, and I thought, instead of buying designer outfits I’d rather have a designer body and look good naked. I’m nuts aren’t I?”

Questioned whether she’d ever stop having surgery, Katie replied:

“Definitely. Everyone grows old, everyone gets wrinkles. And when I was in LA they all looked the same. And I definitely don’t want to look like that. I just sort of tweaked it a bit, it’s not as if I majorly needed it. I know some people say, ‘Well why did you get it done then?’ Like I said, I’d rather have a designer nose than a handbag. I do have botox but no, I’m not going to have the face-life and all of that. It’s a bit extreme.”

Katie also spoke of planning to sell her old implants on the internet:

“My implants are in the safe and they are going on the internet,” adding she wants them to go for “a million minimum.”

Even her latest implants may go on the internet:

“These old ones might go on, they’ve still been in me for about 8 weeks.”

Later on LK Today, Katie spoke to Lorraine Kelly about the recent bad press coverage she’s had:

“I’m happy-ish, apart from some of the mags this week saying, ‘Oh look she’s lost weight, she’s gaunt’, and all this, because some nanny done a story on me. But I’ve never had the response I’ve had from that story, from people saying, ‘Oh my God, we want to do a story to say your not like that. But unless you nip it in the bud and sue the newspaper, if it’s not true, then people are always going to do it. We’re taking legal action with them and the nanny because it’s complete lies and is untrue.”

When questioned about magazines saying she’s not a good mum, Katie said:

“Then it’s different. Don’t bring my kids into it. But other than that, everything is going well. Pete’s happy, we’re not splitting up, and I haven’t got my wedding rings on, but it doesn’t mean we’re splitting up. They’re in a safe at home and I don’t know how to get them out. I’d just like to clear that up.”

Speaking about her son Harvey’s accident:

“He’s fine, he can see a lot more. I’d love to bring him on one of these shows to show people out there that if doctors say things, don’t always believe in it because he knows all these shapes, colours, he can read the words like ‘Mummy’, ‘Daddy’, and I’d love to bring him on. I’m not sure what mood he’d be in, but I’d love to bring him on just to show to people, don’t ever be down, always think for the better.

"His behaviour is – even in the car pack on Saturday a woman came up and said ‘Do you want help?’ Because when he gets in his strops and he’s on the floor, he weighs the same as me now – 8 stone - I can’t lift him. My friend and I were really trying to lift him – his behaviour has got a lot worse. We went to Great Ormond Street and told the doctors. Hopefully he might grow out of it but they reckon he’s going to be 6ft 4. So imagine him at 6ft 4 having a temper? I just feel sorry for anyone in his way. But he is quite hard – his temper at the moment.”

Asked how Harvey gets along with his brothers, Katie said:

“He doesn’t really like anyone. We’ve got a tent in the kitchen and that’s where he goes to chill-out. If he wants to know Junior, he will, if he doesn’t, he doesn’t. With the baby he just calls her ‘baby sister’, and might give her a kiss, but he’s not really bothered.”

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, Katie revealed how she might treat Pete:

“Maybe I might cook him chicken Kiev, sweet corn and chips!”
