Katie Price: ‘People get MBEs who’ve done less than me’

‘As a child I was happiest riding horses and chopping their carrots. It’s why I’ve had so many kids’: Katie Price.

My earliest memory is my dad buying me a pair of royal-blue high heels. I was seven. Before that I’d shoved tissues in Mum’s instead. I was obsessed with the noise they made when you walked in them. I’m not into fashion – I wear what I like – but I love that powerful sound.

Mum must have had a lot of gas and air during my birth, with the number of names she gave me. Katrina Amy Alexandra Alexis Infield? It’s a lot. I hated them so, at 17, I changed it. Katie Price suited me better, thanks very much.
