ROCKY ROMANCES
Katie’s quest for love has seen her tie the knot three times and get engaged eight.

The pair exchanged vows a mere five weeks later with Katie already pregnant with the couple’s first son Jett.

Their engagement was short-lived however as the couple split in November of that year, with Katie admitting to Kris that she cheated on him.
The reality star went on to find love with Carl Woods in July 2020 and the couple got engaged in April 2021.
Three months later her divorce with Kieran was made official and she set about planning her wedding to Carl.
However, it wasn’t meant to be as in November 2022 Carl revealed he had dumped Katie after claiming he found out she allegedly slept with someone else – and admitted to it.

BRUSHES WITH THE LAW
Katie is no stranger to court, having risked jail time on multiple occasions due to various driving violations.
In 2003, Katie swerved a speeding charge after police failed to arrest her within 12 weeks of allegedly clocking 70mph in a 40mph zone in her Range Rover.
Five years later she landed three penalty points after being caught talking on her mobile phone while driving. In 2009 she failed to provide the identity of the driver after her car was allegedly caught speeding in a 30mph zone and was later handed four penalty points after being clocked at 99mph and was handed four points on her licence.
The following year she was convicted for failing to be in proper control of her horsebox after veering into another lane in February and was given three points on her licence, bringing her total to 10.

Later that year she was banned from driving for six months after doing 83mph in a 70mph zone in her home county of West Sussex.
In 2012, Katie was disqualified for 12 months for failing to respond to two speeding tickets in September.
After a quiet few years Katie landed a six-month ban in February 2018 for speeding after totting up 12 penalty points for speeding. In July, photos emerged of her driving while still banned. Then in October she was arrested on suspicion of drink driving and spent 13 hours in custody after crashing into a VW Golf and a hedge on a gated estate at 2am.
In 2019 she was given a three-month ban for driving while disqualified in January of that year and was later handed a five-year restraining order banning her from contacting Michelle Penticost either directly or indirectly after hurling abuse at her during an argument at a school playground.

Two years later she crashed her BMW car on a country road near her West Sussex home in the early hours of the morning after drinking and taking drugs.
She pleaded guilty at Crawley Magistrates of drink driving, driving while disqualified and driving without insurance and is handed a 16-week suspended prison sentence.
In 2022 she then pleaded guilty to breaching a five-year restraining order not to contact, directly or indirectly, Michelle Penticost.
She avoided jail again after claiming she ‘misunderstood’ the rules of a restraining order when she sent a ‘vile and nasty’ message about her ex-husband’s fiancée.

FINANCIAL WOES
Katie was declared bankrupt in 2019 with debts of £3.2m from her failed company Jordan Trading Ltd, that was set up to oversee her perfume and cosmetics line.
She set up the company in 2003 but in 2017 an application was put in to wind up the company as she tried to sort out her finances.
When the mother-of-five was declared bankrupt she vowed to pay back £12,000 a month to creditors of the firm through an individual voluntary arrangement.
The bankruptcy meant Katie, once worth a reported £45million, faced losing her £2million 11-bedroom mansion.
She took out a second mortgage on the property in 2015, but faced monthly payments of £12,300.
In June 2022 the former model had been due to attend the Royal Court of Justice to explain to a judge why she has failed to repay millions owed to creditors.
However, the hearing was adjourned at the last minute with her solicitors giving no reason for Katie’s no show before the court.
Despite being bankrupt Katie has seemingly led a lavish life, including exotic holidays to Las Vegas and Thailand.

Katie also visited The Priory in 2018 when she spent 28 days as an inpatient after her family urged her to seek help following wild partying antics in Mallorca.
At the time, she was confronted by her loved ones after shocking footage emerged of her rapping ‘I love coke’ during a booze-fuelled hen do.

Way back when: In 2020 Katie revealed she had been taking monthly drug tests to ‘build trust’ with her ex-husbands Peter Andre and Kieran Hayler (pictured in 2002)
She later said: ‘My family and friends were hurt, they didn’t know what to do. All these years in the industry I never have [done drugs] but I purely did it to self-medicate, I went to the doctors and told them the truth…
‘Self-medicating on drugs really, it was disgusting, but it was my way of dealing with it. At least I can hold my hands up, if I didn’t speak out now, I would still be in a rut’.
In 2020 Katie revealed she had been taking monthly drug tests to ‘build trust’ with her ex-husbands Peter Andre and Kieran Hayler, with whom she shares four children.
In 2021, Katie crashed her BMW while double the drink-drive limit after leaving her home to allegedly hunt for drugs during an all-night alcohol and cocaine bender.
In November 2022 Katie’s ex Carl Woods reportedly leaked a recording of his former partner speaking about drugs.

THE MUCKY MANSION
Katie purchased a sprawling property in West Sussex for £1.3million back in 2014 with the hope of turning it into a cosy family home.
However the property was left in disarray after various mishaps, including fly tipping, floods, a fire and burglaries.
Renovations kicked off in June 2019, but the influencer was left devastated when the mucky mansion was broken into and destroyed by intruders a year later.
In June 2020, thieves broke in to steal her I’m A Celebrity rucksack and leant the shower head over the ceiling which caused the bathroom to flood and the ceiling to collapse.
Just weeks later, she suffered a fresh blow as thieves broke in again, and she vowed to up security after a neighbour witnessed three men on her private property.
In 2021 the place was ransacked yet again, with thieves stealing old photographs and hard drives.
The following year she landed a £45,000 payday to chart her renovations in the Channel 4 series Katie Price’s Mucky Mansion.
She bagged a second series of the show but filming was allegedly been thrown into mayhem since her ‘filthy’ house is too dirty for production crews to shoot in.

ASSAULT
Katie suffered trauma from a young age, revealing she was raped in a park at the age of seven.
The former Page 3 star detailed the damage the ordeal has caused during an appearance on Loose Women in 2017, stating: ‘There was the sexual assault and I was later raped.
‘I have discussed before and I do believe it led to me dressing provocatively and becoming a model.
‘I had been training to be a nurse but the glamour modelling world is aimed at men. They can look but they can’t touch. You can say or do what you like in a picture.’
The media personality was also sexually exploited by a photographer as a child, revealing: ‘He took indecent photographs that I thought were innocent at the time. I was…
