Jordan: I was sex attack victim aged 6

Model Katie Price's tears as she reveals secret trauma

JORDAN: Dramatic confession

By Jennifer Wiley, 28/02/2009

JORDAN will be seen by millions of TV viewers dramatically confessing that she was sexually attacked in a park at just SIX YEARS OLD.

The model-real name Katie Price-bursts into TEARS as she blurts out her secret childhood trauma during a chat show, the News of the World can reveal.

In the interview on Piers Morgan's Life Stories, Katie has just described how she was once photographed by a convicted paedophile as a teenager when she suddenly admits: "Worse things happened to me when I was younger than that."

Emotion

TARGET: Katie at 7 a year after attack

As a stunned silence descends on the studio, Katie, 30, glances nervously at her mum Amy and husband Peter Andre in the audience before struggling to carry on.

"In a park, but yeah. I don't know. I've never really . . . Oh my God, what's the matter with me?" she tells Morgan, her voice shaking with emotion.

Trying to pull herself together, she goes on: "Compose. Hang on. It's alright. I'm strong. Compose.

"Some weirdo. Oh, you know what I'm saying. Just some weirdo in a park."

Asked if the man abused her, Katie nods her head. She adds: "Well, it's never affected me. But obviously it must have done, for me to just feel like that. But I don't know. You just learn to get on with things, don't you?

"I haven't got a problem normally with it so I don't know why I do have a problem with it now. But anyway . . ."

Katie later revealed she was only six when the attack happened in a park near her home.

She had been out with a school pal. Her mum was chatting with a friend on a nearby bench while Katie and her friend played hide and seek in bushes.

A man appeared and promised to buy the two girls an ice cream. The pervert then lined up the two terrified girls and exposed himself. He also touched the girls.

Katie was terrified by the attack but too afraid to scream. She felt she should do what the attacker said.

Eventually some older children saw what was happening and scared the attacker off. Her mother immediately called the the police but the paedophile quickly disappeared and was never caught.

Mum-of-three Katie had already had the studio audience on the edge of their seats as she told Morgan of her ordeal at the hands of the photographer her mum had hired to help launch her modelling career at 13.

He turned out to be a pervert who insisted she pose in her underwear.

Photos of her were later found plastered over the walls of his home.

NERVOUS: Katie glanced at husband Peter Andre in audience

Pictures

Katie tells Morgan: "Muggins here, who didn't know that, then paid for this course. Well, my mum did. He was the photographer on it and I felt really comfy with him.

"He said, 'Oh I've got other jobs for you', and he was friendly with my mum and he was so legit with everything. He said I will take some pictures of you at my house.

"He never let my mum stay. It was at his mum and dad's house he done the pictures. My mum didn't know what kind of pictures he was going to take and neither did I.

"You just wouldn't think. He was with another lady, as well.

"He used to do pictures of me in a bikini sticking my tongue out at the camera and then another time he wanted to put a shirt on me. This is when the woman was there.

"And they said we want to put it on you, but we want you naked. When you are that young you think 'oh, I'll do anything just to be a model'."

The man was later convicted of child sex offences. Katie said: "He had 11 different names and 11 different bank accounts. I always thought he was a bit of a weirdo."

Katie has now largely given up being Jordan the mega-boobed lads' mag model. But she claims during her interview that she partly created the character to get back at the men who had hurt her. In addition to her ordeals with perverts, Katie told how she was also beaten at the hands of her first boyfriend, a man 11 years her senior, who took her virginity.

Then Sunderland footballer Dwight Yorke dumped her shortly after she became pregnant, leaving her to raise disabled son Harvey, six, on her own. Her father, Ray Infield, left home when she was four.

Figure

Jordan, who has had her 32G boobs reduced several times to their current 32C, said: "Sometimes I think the job I did-the Jordan-is to tease at men.

"I can pr**k tease at men but they can't have me. Maybe it was that."

But that's not to say Katie's creation of Jordan was entirely a ruse to tantalise the opposite sex. Even as a young teenager, she loved showing off her blossoming figure in tight-fitting clothing.

She told Morgan: "I'm an exhibitionist. I always have been. I remember at my dad's 30th I think it was, I was 13.

"My mum gave me some money to get an outfit and she probably thought it would be a nice little outfit. It was a PVC all-in-one . . .

"The looks on their faces!"

When asked whether or not she likes men in general, Katie said of hubby Peter: "Oh, I love my man."

PIERS Morgan's Life Stories is on ITV1 tonight at 10pm. Virgin mega-mogul Richard Branson is tonight's guest. Katie Price features next week.

love you katie

By bourny. Posted May 27 2009 at 4:40 PM.

i think katie price is an emotionally damaged individual who granted is a very good business woman and knows how to sell her brand but sadly she will sell her modesty, pride and her soul for the right fee. Ps; im not jealous, but think she should get out of the limeight and enjoy her fortune and raising her kiddies.

By sarah. Posted May 25 2009 at 11:16 PM.

people talk kate let them cause they will anyway, seeing is beleaveing. i no. i have been in your shoes many times and at 52 years old it stills hounts me .i am tring to sort things out now,love its never to late ha ha so they tell me love you kate ,keep your chin up love we dee xoxoxox

By denise lennox. Posted May 25 2009 at 2:25 AM.

Of course child abuse is a terrible thing. I read her autobiography and it wasn't even mentioned.Piers morgan interview saw her talk about this and even her mum looked shocked. Why would she (the biggest publicity seeker on earth) mention it after all this time on tv in front of thousands of people but not in her book.I know of and have heard of people that have gone through this terrible experience but don't believe she is one of them.Her acting debut was far from earning her an oscar.I use to admire her but these publicity stunts have gone too far now.If this claim is as untrue as I think it is all I can say is ...shame on you jordon.Who wouldn't you sell out for some cash.

By lorraineford. Posted May 24 2009 at 11:09 AM.

what was she doing in the park by her self at 6 yrs old? where was her mother, considering she is always in the frame in the tv program? couldn't have affected her that much considering she behaves like a tart.....

By elaina. Posted May 24 2009 at 8:20 AM.

you say you love peter but how come you can kiss another man i think he is better off with out you. as you will always hurt him one way or another he deserves better and for you to go clubbing wen peter was probably sat home felling god knows wat he was feeling all i can say is peter move on and find some one better

By sha . Posted May 17 2009 at 7:53 PM.

Katie Price is my idol!!! She isn't afraid to be herself she can be a bit moody on some occasions but she is never afraid to speak her mind and that is an awsome thing to be able to do. She is so prittey and her past is terrible and it's wrong that it is happend but she isn't ashames because obviously she has nothing to be afraid about. Iloveeyou KatiePrice

By Becca. Posted May 16 2009 at 10:50 PM.

i feel sooooo sorry for her x.x.x

By Rachel x. Posted May 7 2009 at 3:17 PM.

aww u can never change your past but u can always change ur future and thats wat u have done x

By sam. Posted April 23 2009 at 4:36 PM.

katies amazing ! shes an inspiration.

By joanne. Posted April 17 2009 at 4:22 PM.

I like Katie and Jade. I thought Katies interview with Piers Morgan was really good. I think Katie is a really honest person and speaks her mind. I dont think she intentionally brought up about the weirdo in the park and when she did she really didnt want to talk about it....she really does need to speak to a councillor about it as this has had an affect on her. I like Katie and think she is a lovely mom to all three of her children but, especially to Harvey. She is a very clever woman. And i like her.

By angie. Posted March 21 2009 at 9:11 PM.

Whatever her past, whatever her future; a) she's very beautiful under all the crap b) has an amazing body c) is an exceptionaly clever business woman while raising three children. Fair play to her. If she's saving a tale or two to spin out the story, why not? I'll be buying it.

By Miss Marvel. Posted March 3 2009 at 8:25 PM.

Lots of children get abused and it's awful. It happens a lot more than people think and it's important to be able to face it and to admit it to yourself and to then move on as much as you can. I'm not sure what can be gained from admitting it to so many people that you don't even know though. It's hard enough telling the people you need to tell, and unless I knew I was going to get some much needed feedback from someone who's opinion I valued, I would never risk feeling that exposed. Everyone's different though I suppose.

By Gina. Posted March 3 2009 at 6:37 PM.

I think everyone with nothing good to say on here, needs to grow up. OK she's been a topless model, SO WHAT?? I'm sure you've ALL looked at her and your comments are just jealousy. She shudn't have said what she did abt Jade, but everyone makes mistakes. Give her a break, I think she deserves it. I think she's lovely and has a tough nut exterior because of all the crap she's had to deal with in her life.

By sam. Posted March 3 2009 at 2:41 PM.

All i can say is there are some very jealous people out there.I envy katie for being so brave to speak out publicly.I hope she holds her head up high and ignores all the nasty comments these jealous people have made and sticks two fingers up to the perverts out there that took advantage of her so many years ago!!

By Gemma. Posted March 2 2009 at 1:37 PM.

I cant believe that some people on here actually think that someone would make this up, your either just jealous or extremely ignorant to think like that. Lets just hope it never happens to you people, and if it does, lets just hope you're believed!!!

By imalwaysright86. Posted March 2 2009 at 12:59 AM.

i think shes a very strong lady with all the stuff she has been through and raising three children and one with a disability i admire anyone who can do this as its a very tough and tiring job. a working mother who loves her children i think the people who have left horrible comments should leave her alone

By Daniel Prosser. Posted March 2 2009 at 12:47 AM.

Just goes to show, you can't be too careful.

By Deus_Ex_Mechanica. Posted March 1 2009 at 11:51 PM.

The people who r asking why she hasnt said anything till now well try reading her first autobiography as it is in there

By Naomi. Posted March 1 2009 at 11:08 PM.

Being abused is not something to mock,having been abused as a child myself,i know!Thought i could deal with it,only realised after having my own children how badly it actually did and still does affect me..My heart goes out to all victims of abuse.

By joanne. Posted March 1 2009 at 10:33 PM.

Jordan is the biggest loser ever!!! I dont understand why her husband is still with her. She really really needs to grow up!!!

By Carley Brown. Posted March 1 2009 at 8:06 PM.

Oh for heaven's sake. Whatever your opinion of Jordan or her statements, automatically doubting her makes it that much harder for other victims to come forward.
It's unbelievably hard to talk about abuse because victims feel shame. Frankly, shame on you lot for talking about her like she's less deserving of support.

By Kay. Posted March 1 2009 at 7:07 PM.

I think katie is missing the attention and its took all this time for this to come out. I use to like katie but after what she said about Jade the poor lass is only doing this for her kids so they can have a better life than what she had YOU GO JADE XXX

By saeah knight. Posted March 1 2009 at 6:38 PM.

Whats wrong - is Jade getting too much attention and Katie needs to find a way to grab some back?

By Shelley. Posted March 1 2009 at 5:35 PM.

for gods sake leave katie alone,i didnt like "jordan" until i watched get me out of here then i discovered shes a normal girl whos made good thats why people slate her. well i think shes lovely and peter.

By tracey. Posted March 1 2009 at 5:13 PM.

I totaly agree with mmfifi,
This tarts name says it all (She will make up any story to be in the media) "But for what PRICE"

By ste53. Posted March 1 2009 at 5:00 PM.

Sigh!!!! I've just about had enough of these celebrities...ANYTHING for attention and limelight...Give me real people anytime..I'm sick of plastic and tinsel...
I really do feel that the rest of the public has also had enough...enough of celeb reality shows...enough of 'news' articles...
We would like real life again...please...

By Maria Moon. Posted March 1 2009 at 4:08 PM.

Katie Price certainly does have a huge problem - She comes accross as an attention seeker. Why has all this time passed and she is only making this public now? I really hope she is not trying to make up for her harsh, evil words about Jade.

Lets face it, even if she has been abused which OK might be true, but she is healthy unlike poor Jade. There are times when no matter how difficult your past has been, you should just sit back, shut up and thank god you still have a future instead crying about it on TV to make money out of it.

I like Katie but she needs to calm it down and show a bit more selflessness.

By emma. Posted March 1 2009 at 4:28 PM.

She is not the brightest person on this planet. Were it not for her t-ts she would be a nobody.

By Sherri. Posted March 1 2009 at 4:02 PM.

Oh jordan. Please stop. Do people really still fall for you 'pouring your heart out' in the pretence its to help others other than what it truly is- self publicity!
I like katie, i think she has done well and got what she wanted from life by her strong determined will and also that she has a lovely family and is a great mother. . However, i think she doesnt really need to try so hard, she has a great fan base and the constant media attention seeking is a bit wearing.

By Martin. Posted March 1 2009 at 3:10 PM.

IS IT JUST ME OR DOES ANYBODY ELSE GET THE FEELING JORDON IS TRYING TO WIN BACK PUBLIC FAVOUR - VIA SYMPATHY - AFTER HER DISGRACEFUL BEHAVIOUR TOWARDS THE DYING JADE GOODY....?

By suzie teabag. Posted March 1 2009 at 2:43 PM.

are u kidding lets get something straight if this is true fair enough, but that hasnt stopped her from getting everything out for every paper, mag going. why now she always on about trying to help others and just thought to tell the world now.

By t . Posted March 1 2009 at 2:30 PM.

call me cynical but this seems like a publicity ploy to know jade off the papers and her mother was not exactly a great person in protecting her daughter. I used to like jordan but have gone off her since she slagged jade off and i think she knows this so is trying to claw back sympathy.

By sharon. Posted March 1 2009 at 1:25 PM.

it takes a strong person to share this with the orld and i hope she has a happy life and to those of you who have posted nasty comments it leaves me to think you believe abuse of anyone is ok if so you dont deserve to breathe gods air

By sj. Posted March 1 2009 at 1:42 PM.

Poor Kaite, she is a truely strong character!

To those people who say she deserved is/its not suprising etc, well lets see you say the same thing when its a member of your family/a friend. Nobody deserves being abused.

Its not suprising she kept it out of her autobiography! I wouldnt want to publish it in mine!

By Becci. Posted March 1 2009 at 12:33 PM.

"my heart goes out..." and your in my thoughts blah blah blah , you must be the same stupid people that bought the 3 copies of her book. what a load of crap, talk about do anything for publicity. this woman is nuts

By david stickland. Posted March 1 2009 at 12:30 PM.

Such class!

and to cap it all - some children want to growup to be like her i.e famous for being famous

By Tye. Posted March 1 2009 at 11:44 AM.

hearing about jade is terriable !!! and is a total different situation to what katie is in or was in! Katie or anyone out there who as been abused didnt ask for what as happened to her its just the sick sort of people we live with on this earth and to stand up and talk about being abused on telly or not is a really big and brave thing to do!! katie is the best girl in the line light these are not about star its really life what happens every day too normal people!! there just normal like the rest of us this will make more people that have be abused to stand up and speek out to family and friends because we look up too them!! if a little girl look that looks up to katie knowning that shes where she is now a big star , it says life goes on and it can not end your life it will only make you strong just like katie price x.x.x.x

By Amy. Posted March 1 2009 at 11:32 AM.

love you katie

By brian. Posted March 1 2009 at 11:40 AM.

well yes - she would have abused wouldn't she ?

By rikkidelreeko. Posted March 1 2009 at 11:10 AM.

I like Katie Price is her honesty - even when telling the truth isn't in her interest. I'm therefore sure that this is true. Those who say they don't believe it probably have other motives for disliking her or have very unhappy lives that make them think the worst of everyone. I hope things improve for them.

By Suzy. Posted March 1 2009 at 11:10 AM.

Here we go again another so called "celeb" owning
up to being abused or had one of those experiences as a kid.Is it only so called celebs who go through this sort of thing.I for one dont believe anything that comes out of that females mouth.Her and her ilk disgust me.

By bridget park. Posted March 1 2009 at 11:14 AM.

Does she have a new book coming out? Believe that you will believe anything.

By Jonathan. Posted March 1 2009 at 10:48 AM.

I can't stand shallow people who jump straight to accuse someone of lying. Who gives you the right? Could you imagine if it had happened to you and people were saying you made it up?
Katie/Jordan is outragious but give me one example in her many years of fame where she has told a lie? She is brutally honest, caring and lovely.

By emily charlotte. Posted March 1 2009 at 10:39 AM.

I like Katie, everything i read on here from her interview is in her book, you don't lie about your past in a book and on tv where millions will watch, and with your mum watching from the audiance. So i believe her.

By sarah. Posted March 1 2009 at 10:38 AM.

Why would you revele that on a CHAT SHOW!!!. Whats up jordan you loosing the limelight.

By ellie. Posted March 1 2009 at 10:22 AM.

god is there nothing this woman wont do or say for publicity .... i dont beleive her she probably gutted coz jade all over the papers but she doin it for a valid reason ...her boys ....

By anne. Posted March 1 2009 at 9:37 AM.

sometimes it's not easy to tell the world what happen to you when you where child and lots of people will not unsterstand never

I support you Katie

xxx

By mary. Posted March 1 2009 at 9:37 AM.

emily - I understand your comment, and your situation is very sad. however, why would you use the first time to disclose such a private and emotional secret on telly? on a new show, that most will watch if it's not for publicity???

By buzzinbee003. Posted March 1 2009 at 9:36 AM.

Jordan is now ranked third in the publicity battle with Jade and Katona. She must not be happy with that at all. Maybe she will get Peter to say he played football for Australia before hitting the pop scene.

By Jimmy B. Posted March 1 2009 at 9:32 AM.

I quite like Katie, and i hope this isnt a made up story as i think that would be a terrible thing of her to do. I like her now, but i did think she was a scruffy tart when she was pregnant with harvey. It's sad if this really happened, but as said by 'mmfifi' poor Jade will get pushed off the front cover for the 'dramatics' of Kate Price!!!

By mariad85. Posted March 1 2009 at 9:31 AM.

There is no need for nasty comments, this poor girl whether famous or not, had buried what happened to her all them years ago, but inevitably if you don't get help, it will rear it's ugly head sometime in your life.
I was abused by a family member from ages 6-9 & i blotted it out for years till i started having flashbacks, now i am having counselling & getting through it.
Unless you have been there, you don't know how it affects people.
Personally, i think all you Katie haters are just jealous. This is a serious issue but you just spout your jealousy instead of even commenting on the real issue

By Emily. Posted March 1 2009 at 9:21 AM.

KATIE WILL TELL EVERY NOOK & CRANY made up or make beleive about her life...
to push jade off the front page of the paper...
This women is always the hard done by
remember she was still taking men back to her house 6 months pregnant after partying the night away in a club.....
Nice i dont really believe half the things she sais...and thats that

By mmfifi. Posted March 1 2009 at 8:42 AM.

Having been abused as a child . My heart goes out to Katie. The thoughts never leave you.

By Trisha. Posted March 1 2009 at 8:39 AM.

So this very private young lady kept this little tale back for the third volume of her autobiography
