Modeling Career

Katie Price first got into modeling when she was 13 years old. She later quit school at age 16 to pursue modeling full time.

It wasn’t until she was 18 that she became famous in the modeling world after a topless photo of her was put in The Sun, a British newspaper. Afterward, Katie Price went through numerous cosmetic surgeries to look like other models whom she admired.
