Katie Price has revealed that a sexual assault at the age of seven influenced her decision to become a glamour model. The 38-year-old former model, speaking on ITV's Loose Women, said the experience 'led to me dressing provocatively' and pursuing a career in glamour modelling.
Price, who rose to fame in the 1990s as Jordan, told the panel that the assault gave her a sense of control through modelling. 'You could be all sexy,' she said. 'Being a glamour model is a trade for men, so it was like, you can look at me but you can't touch me.'
She appeared alongside Karen Danczuk, who was raped by her brother as a child. Price previously spoke about a rape claim in 2009 on Piers Morgan's Life Stories, stating that 'some weirdo' attacked her in a park. She has also alleged she was raped by a 'famous celebrity' but has never named them.
On Loose Women, Price added: 'I've never gone into actual detail about what he did. I've been abused and raped since then, I'm not going to say who.' The discussion highlighted the lasting impact of childhood trauma on victims' life choices.
