Summary

Dropping by this week for a spot of comfort eating is the legendary glamour model turned reality TV star, Katie Price. One of the most photographed and filmed women of our times, splashed across page 3 and lads mags as Jordan 30 years ago, then in six of her own TV series, multiple documentaries and reality shows, everyone thinks they know her. But talking to Grace over a squishy, soft and ‘bald’ dish, Katie reveals a more nuanced picture – opening up about childhood, horses, early photoshoots, love, abuse, men, the media, breakdown and being a proud mum of five. ‘Never underestimate the Pricey’ – it’s a motto to live by and Grace embraces it all – the ups, the downs and snacks in between

1:17.0	Okay, life hacker of the wig.
1:22.0	I think a lot of things you're told you need in life are actually
1:28.0	absolutely free. You do not need a 50 pound a month gym membership. Plus if you do you're stretching at home, you don't need to suffer
1:38.2	the indignity of the public farting. Another guest is arriving in 30 minutes to come for eat with me and
1:47.0	truly I have wanted to meet her for as long as I can remember. Because ladies and gentlemen, this woman about to walk into my living

2:21.0	Since then, there's been six autobiographies, six reality TV series, a Sunday Times best-selling novel, and two appearances on I'm a celebrity. She is one of the most recognized faces in the
