"Katie Price said she'd have baby for me and my gay lover"
Jordan's best pal reveals darkest secrets
JORDAN'S closest pal today tells how the glamour model sensationally offered to have a BABY for him and his male partner.
Celeb make-up artist Gary Cockerill reveals both the CARING and the WILD side of the beauty he grew to love as he continues to detail some of her most outrageous secrets.
Gary, 40, says: "Kate has told me and my partner Phill that if we were ever in a position to have children, then she would be a SURROGATE MOTHER for us. She really means it!"
And he unhooks the bra on a Jordan BOOB JOB revelation... one she won't even know about HERSELF until now.
The make-up artist to the stars even confesses he believes cosmetic surgery has turned the model from a DICK EMERY lookalike into a stunner.
"She wasn't the prettiest girl - or a great model," says Gary. "She was actually quite stiff in front of the camera."
He was soon to find out that Jordan - real name Katie Price - certainly knew how to loosen up when it mattered - and she's been surprising him ever since the early days of her career.
But the biggest shock of all came when, out of the blue, she offered to carry a baby for him and TV handyman hunk Phill Turner if they ever decided to become parents.
The couple - who wed in a lavish civil partnership ceremony in December 2005 - have been together for 17 years and are yearning to raise children. Gary says: "We would love to have kids, but as a gay couple you put it to the back of your minds and assume it's not going to happen.
"Besides, our lives have always been so busy. We would have to get a full-time nanny - and I would want to be in a position where I could do the majority of the parenting myself.
"But then we'd be at a big family barbecue at Kate's house, watching all the kids running around in the garden, and she'd always bring it up. 'If you ever want to do it Gary,' she'll say, 'you know I'll happily help you out'.
"At first I used to laugh, but she was being serious. I'm not sure how it would work - perhaps we could give her a cocktail and just see what happens! It's something we often think about. In the meantime we have so many wonderful children in our lives, including Kate's children Junior, Harvey and Princess who is our unofficial goddaughter - Kate calls us her Fairy Godfathers!"
Gary tells of a sensational night when Katie joined him, Phill and another pal on a wild night out during a holiday to Ibiza. "We went to a gay bar called Amphora in which there was a Dark Room," he recalls.
"Kate had never heard of them, so we explained it's basically a completely dark room where men go to have sex or just a quick feel - all very sleazy," says Gary. "Phill and I have never been into it, but Kate got it into her head that she wanted to go in for a laugh.
"After a few drinks and a dance she still wouldn't let up about going in the bloody Dark Room, so eventually Phill agreed to sneak her in. But he warned her, 'Do not, whatever you do, say anything or touch anything 'cos it's meant to be men only and we'll get in serious trouble. Hold my hand and stay close'.
"Well, Kate can't resist, can she? As her eyes started to become accustomed to the dim light and she could just about make out men getting up to all sorts of naughtiness she suddenly gave a girly shriek. It caused a riot.
"'Oh my God, there's a woman in here!', the men were screaming. By this time Kate and Phill are in hysterics, and we ended up getting kicked out of the bar. But that's Ms Price all over, isn't it? She just can't resist a bit of controversy."
She sneaked into a fetish club in a mask and rubber corset
That wasn't Katie's only taste of sleaze. Gary also reveals that in October last year he and Phill sneaked her and cross-dressing hubby Alex Reid, 34, into the world-famous fetish club, Torture Garden, at London Bridge, to escape the cameras.
Gary says: "I'd heard this place talked about for years and admit I had been intrigued. As well as a dance floor and DJs like a normal club, there were also lots of private rooms catering to every fetish you can possibly imagine. Kate wore red leopard print stockings with a matching eye mask and a black rubber corset, while Alex wore a bra, stockings and suspenders with kinky boots, a choker and a hat - he was a sight to behold, I can tell you. Phill was Dr Death in a full surgeon's outfit complete with fake blood and severed limbs attached and for the first time ever, perhaps inspired by Alex, I decided to get dragged up in knee-length boots, black leather hotpants and a corset.
"We had the most amazing night. It felt so decadent, so outrageous - kind of like a kinky Studio 54.
"Kate relaxed, danced and partied the whole night - and no one ever found out she had gone there."
The man who has transformed the looks of many famous faces, like Rachel Hunter and Kelly Brook, says Jordan had more of a "boyish, goofy" look back then. Gary was working with legendary Page 3 photographer Jeany Savage when he first saw a 16-year-old Katie at a shoot for a magazine launch in 1994. He says: "Jeany's nickname for her was Dick Emery after the TV comedian.
"Kate's slightly awkward posture and trademark outfit of skinny leggings, low-cut tops and ridiculously clompy high heels reminded her of when Emery dressed up as a busty blonde woman."
Gary tells how he was one of many who tried to talk Katie OUT of having a boob job when she was determined to increase her original B-cup breasts. And he reveals that, when she went for her first boob job, she didn't get exactly what she bargained for.
Katie used to be nicknamed Dick Emery
Photographer Jeany was so concerned she would do herself damage she secretly convinced the surgeon to give Katie new breasts SMALLER than what she wanted.
Gary says: "Once Kate gets an idea into her head it's frankly impossible to talk her out of it, so Jeany introduced her to a surgeon who had worked with other models. "Kate was adamant that she wanted to go several cup sizes bigger, so had asked for a 470cc implant.
"But just before the operation Jeany secretly told the doctor to only go up to a 360cc implant, as she was worried the bigger ones wouldn't suit her tiny frame. Kate probably doesn't know that to this day!
"Which is why soon after she'd had them done the first time she went under the knife again."
Since then Katie has undergone five boob jobs, surgery to her nose and repeated Botox injections to smooth out wrinkles in her face. But Gary says: "Although I do think she sometimes goes a bit mad with the Botox, in general I do think the work she's had done has improved her appearance.
"She's always been beautiful, but - speaking as a make-up artist - her face is better now. It's more symmetrical, more balanced. She has a bit of filler as she's so tiny and if she loses any weight at all she can look gaunt quite quickly.
Outrageous
"Not that Kate will ever be happy with her body because what she sees when she looks in the mirror is so different from the reality.
"The only thing I nag her about is that she uses sunbeds too much. I think you can get away with it when you're young, but once you hit your thirties the damage starts to show. And if she's been using them intensively it makes my job harder as the foundation doesn't sit right and ends up looking a bit dirty."
Gary reveals things haven't always run smoothly between him and Jordan. For five years he and Phill, 46, deliberately distanced themselves from her as her behaviour became more and more outrageous.
He says: "People probably think that Kate and I have always been close friends, but that's certainly not the case.
She became a sex-crazed party animal
"We drifted apart when the whole bad-girl Jordan thing really exploded. Kate had always been up for a party, but she became notorious as this sex-crazed party animal, frequently snapped flashing her t**s or stumbling out of clubs looking a right old state.
"She wasn't taking care of herself and had put on a lot of weight. She was making a name for herself, but it wasn't really a good one.
"By this time my career was taking off. I guess I became a snob. We'd speak every now and then... but it was obvious we had drifted apart. I'm sure she thought I had turned into a w****r. I thought I was better than she was.
"Nobody knew about the s*** she was going through with Dwight Yorke and Harvey's birth, what she went through with her ex Dane Bowers. She's not the sort of person who would ask for help, but all the telltale signs were there in the headlines and photos.
"I should have been there for her during what was a really tough time for her - and to this day it's one of my biggest regrets that I wasn't."

The children hardly ever appear on Katie Prices show and when they do they are not over excited.
When the children are on Petes show there is lots of footage of them, lots of fun and laughter and it shows Pete clearly loves his children.
Pete is a much more loving parent than Katie Price will ever be. Why? Because his children are his no.1 priority and rightly so too!!!

@truthfairy
Your obviously watching a different show to me then.
You hardly see the children on the katie show, presumably the nanny works overtime now.
Junior seems far happier on Petes show, not to mention katies berating of Petes management team infront of the children that sparked Juniors comments about claire.
By Somedude.. Posted July 29 2010 at 9:46 AM.
I know nothing about Jordan or Andre but watching both shows Junior looks happier and more relaxed with her and Alex and not so with Andre, my opinion, wait till he grows up and he can tell us if that was right!
By TruthFairy.. Posted July 27 2010 at 8:27 PM.
Jordan needs to find some new REAL friends....
By Anita.. Posted July 26 2010 at 6:21 PM.
Welldone Gary for sticking by your mate, good Karma coming to you darling.
By Bren.. Posted July 26 2010 at 10:20 AM.
Hope it wont be too long before this woman is forgotten and left by the wayside. Board to death of reading about her. You made your biggest mistake when you let the LOVE of your life go ( Peter )
By Kipper.. Posted July 26 2010 at 1:04 AM.
yes gary and phil are dishy..too pretty to be gay, but there you go.
Gary's from doncaster? and katie from Sussex?
I won't knock doncater, I loved it there also,BUT they come from different backgrounds?
How could you two fall out with Pete,because of the breakup, when you know you helped go to parties,and in my mind,IF? she did betray Pete, you woudnt have told him.What kind of real friends are you? You make katie up like a painted doll sometimes, and yes her spots stand out?
I used to like katie,but no more, even though Pete left her, I feel she drove him away, he idolised her and anyone could see that?katie on the other hand moved on very quickly with alex,that to me it seems false.
You know pete's book( for kids?) but he's holding his head up and caring and feeding his kids, who come first with him
By sandie.. Posted July 25 2010 at 11:17 PM.
What is happening in this world. Do people really want to burn in hell? Repent while you can. You have been warned.
By sophie.. Posted July 25 2010 at 11:11 PM.
`Fresh faced` is something katie price has NEVER been. She was ugly and spotty then and she`s even uglier and spottier now.

By marie j.. Posted July 25 2010 at 7:05 PM.
Gary and Phil need a show of thier own they are adorable and sincere, lucky Katie to have them in her world.
By Brenda.. Posted July 25 2010 at 6:02 PM.
Gary looks too clean cut and conservative. His boy from next door good looks make him a real dish but regrettably scandal not happy friendships are what sell books and papers. I'm a critic, not admirer of Jordan but I take my hat off to her ability to milk the media machine. And, if I ever met her I'm sure she would completely eclipse and outwit me. Wishing you God Speed Gary and Katie.

By Ahmed.. Posted July 25 2010 at 8:52 AM.
I will buy his book, i love Katie and her 2 gay friends, wicked. It just shows how kind and caring she is towards her real friends, to offer to have a baby for someone is truly wonderful. Keep going Katie against all the disgusting witch hunt, we know you will come out on tops, just like always. PS Peter Andre looked a deformed idiot last night on tv, please get him off our screens, he's useless.
By Victoria.. Posted July 25 2010 at 8:19 AM.
Has this man no pride. All he obviously sees is money but I doubt this book will sell. Jordan is obviously calling all the shots. Do they really believe the public would be taken in by this claptrap!!!!!!
By Jack.. Posted July 25 2010 at 7:41 AM.
He's a make up artist, and approves of Ms Price looking like she does? He needs specsavers.
By Carol.. Posted July 25 2010 at 7:29 AM.
I wonder how much she is paying this guy to bring this out at this time .
By terry Dalley.. Posted July 25 2010 at 6:03 AM.
LOSER LOSER LOSER LOSER LOSER LOSER
By H.. Posted July 25 2010 at 5:35 AM.
This android is the make-up "artist" responsible for making her look like a a drag queen; for the eyebrows alone he should be sacked immediately. I'd love to know what other 'celebrities' he works on - Alice Cooper perhaps?. The quicker she dumps him and hires a real professional the quicker she might start resembling a human being. The extract reads like a semi-literate 13yr old's first diary. Hilariously abysmal (like the cover shot).
By Pamela.. Posted July 25 2010 at 4:12 AM.
i think thats a very unselfish act for katie to give gary a child is a wonderful offer a gift of a child ,thank god theres people like katie reid around ,why cant people stop being jelous of her.
By sara young.. Posted July 25 2010 at 2:01 AM.
That's the great thing about having gay friends, they will never tell you you look passed you best.
By C Nick.. Posted July 25 2010 at 1:56 AM.
Please give us a break from this drivel. Anybody mad who wants to buy the book should wait a couple of days cos IMO that's all it will take for it to be flogged off at bargin basement prices.
By Justabloke.. Posted July 25 2010 at 1:36 AM.
Good god do you think we are so stupid?
By Rach.. Posted July 25 2010 at 1:34 AM.
Sickening bloke - writing PR clap trap for a sickening woman. Talk about his master's voice - or mistress in this case. Seriously pathetic. Hope the NOTW paid him sod all for this tripe.
By Joan.. Posted July 25 2010 at 12:58 AM.
Looks like Gary has become Jordan's latest "ghost writer". No way has this latest load of tripe been written without her say so. It makes him look like the fawning fool he is and KP ever more desperate to be in the media. How much is she paying you for this Gary?
By Sam.. Posted July 25 2010 at 12:35 AM.
