She gained recognition in the late 1990s for her glamour modelling work in British tabloid newspapers, including Page 3 in The Sun and the Daily Star, billed under the pseudonym Jordan.

Price's personal life, including her relationships, financial matters, legal proceedings, and cosmetic procedures, have attracted significant media attention and controversy, and as a result she is regularly the subject of the British tabloid press. Early life Price was born Katrina Amy Alexandra Alexis Infield on 22 May 1978 in Brighton, East Sussex. She is the only child of Ray and Amy Infield (née Charlier). Her father left the family when she was four, and in 1988 her mother married builder Paul Price. She has an older brother named Daniel and a younger sister named Sophie. She is of Italian, Spanish, English and Jewish descent. Price's maternal grandmother was Jewish, but she is not religious. Price attended Blatchington Mill School in Hove in East Sussex. She excelled at sport, swimming for Sussex in regional competitions. During her childhood, she also developed a passion for horses and horse-riding. She began modelling as a child, and at 13 she modelled for a clothing line. At the age of 17, she changed her name, dropping the surname of her birth father Ray, who had left home when she was four, and taking the last name of her mother's second husband, Paul Price. Career 1996–2004: Modelling career and early ventures At a friend's suggestion, Price had professional photographs taken and decided to pursue a modelling career. The pictures were sent to a modelling agency in London, and in 1996 she appeared, billed as "Jordan", on Page 3 in the British newspaper The Sun. As Jordan, Price was famed for her surgically enhanced breasts. At 20, she had the first in a succession of breast-enhancement surgeries, increasing her natural 32B to a 32FF.

In July 2010, Price released "Free to Love Again", a non-album single. About the release, she said: "I'm not a singer, this is just something that I'm doing for fun.

Price also launched a range of nutrition supplements, including meal replacement shakes, that were promoted with unsupported claims about their wholesomeness and benefit. The British Dietetic Association named Katie Price Nutritional Supplements as constituting one of the "top 5 worst celeb diets to avoid in 2018", noting they were expensive and unnecessary for anybody wanting to lose weight. The following year, she released another novel Playing with Fire. In 2018, following online abuse focused on her son Harvey, Price began a campaign to make online abuse a criminal offence. She subsequently took her campaign to Parliament. Helen Jones, chairman of the parliamentary Petitions Committee subsequently commented: "The law on online abuse is not fit for purpose and it is truly shameful that disabled people have been forced off social media while their abusers face no consequences. There is no excuse for the continued failure to make online platforms as safe for disabled people as non-disabled people. Self-regulation has failed disabled people and the law must change to ensure more lives are not destroyed." and went on to make recommendations for legislation. The Government was expected to respond to the recommendations by the end of March 2019. 2019–present: OnlyFans, documentaries and music resurgence In 2019, Price released her next single "Hurricane", next novel Winner Takes All and subsequently launched a YouTube channel, often posting vlogs which featured her children and members of her family.
