Short Biography

Katie André (ne Katie Infield) was born on May 22, 1978, and grew up in the seaside town of Brighton in Sussex, England. The decision to embark on a modeling career came after a friend suggested a session with a professional photographer. The pictures were sent to an agency in London and to her astonishment, she was invited to participate in a photo shoot.

Katie Price becomes page 3 girl
Katie soon signed a contract and became a Page 3 sensation, changing her name to Jordan shortly thereafter. As her popularity grew, her relationship with an electrician began to decline and the couple parted in 1997. Other alliances included football (soccer) star Teddy Sheringham and showjumper Oliver Skeete.

In 1998, she began dating Gladiator "Ace" Warren Furman of British-television fame. The relationship soured, however, when Furman became envious of the attention Jordan received while entertaining British troops in Kosovo. One of her more publicized relationships was with Dane Bowers, former lead singer of Another Level, whom she shacked up with.

Jordan auditioned for a part in Baywatch in 1998, but was unsuccessful in landing a part. Although she had become an established model, Jordan was insecure about her chest size. Believing that implants would help her cause, she decided to have plastic surgery. The result was an increase in size from B to D. The dramatic journey leading up to the procedure was chronicled in every tabloid newspaper in the UK.

Following the successful operation, Jordan decided never to pose for Page 3, although the Sun in particular had long since instituted a policy of using only natural girls.

Jordan has since shifted her focus to a career in music, training with a vocal coach and utilizing her contacts gained via her relationship with Bowers to land a record deal. And she put her hot body to good use, posing on the cover of Playboy`s September 2002 issue. Thanks to that pictorial, fans could get a glimpse of her now FF breasts, after a total of three implant operations.

In 2002, she also released her very own calendar and became the proud mother of baby Harvey in May (who she named after her grandfather); Manchester United star Dwight Yorke is the father, but they are no longer together.

Famous for being famous, Katie Price was the subject of a trilogy of documentaries (directed by BBC filmmaker Richard Macer), starting with Jordan: The Truth About Me (2002), followed by Jordan: The Model Mum (2003) and concluding with Jordan: You Don`t Even Know Me (2004). The films follow Jordan from her modeling days, to her pregnancy, to the birth of her child and separation from her boyfriend, all while seeing her life played out in the British tabloids. Unfortunately, Katie learned that her son, Harvey, was born blind, as his optic nerve didn`t develop properly.

Throughout her career, Katie Price has appeared as herself in British TV shows such as The Frank Skinner Show, Dream Team and The Dunphy Show. But she generated the most buzz with her stint on the celebrity reality show, I`m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!, in 2004, when she began a highly-publicized relationship with her "costar," Aussie singer Peter Andre. They had their first child, Junior Andre, in June 2005 and were married on September 10, 2005.

In 2004 she penned her first book, Being Jordan, which received positive reviews and has sold 500,000 copies as of September 2006. Her second book, Jordan:
