Katie Price was told by a photographer that her natural boobs were “too small” and could hamper her glamour model career, according to a new TV show.
The 42-year-old reality TV star began her career aged 19 and did topless shoots with The Star and The Sun, as shown in Channel 4’s documentary Page Three: The Naked Truth.
While the curly-haired teen was blessed with many natural attributes, Katie’s mum claims she was told she had to get a boob job if she was serious about glamour modelling.
Her mum Amy tells the show: “I knew from the very beginning she was ok with her body.

“But the photographer at the time said ‘your boobs have got to be bigger if you’re going to succeed or get on in your career because they’re too small.
“And I can’t tell you how many times they rang her up and booked her in to get them done and I used to ring up and cancel it.
“In the end, what she did do, they persuaded her to have them done and she went in and had them done without telling me.”

Katie, then aged 20, quickly went up a cup size and then had a second boob job to go up a further cup size.
Although her mum blames an unnamed photographer for her daughter’s desire to get cosmetic surgery, Katie herself confesses in an old TV interview that she’s “always wanted bigger boobs”, as revealed on the C4 show.
Katie, who was given the name Jordan by her agent, went on to become a successful Page 3 girl for The Sun – until the paper asked its readers if they prefered natural or surgically-boosted boobs.
The readers overwhelmingly voted for “natural” which ended Jordan’s 10-month Page 3 career, according to the documentary.
Katie still went on to have a successful career as a TV personality, appearing on I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here and Katie Price: My Crazy Life.
But her love life has been very up-and-down.
In a recent heart-to-heart with her fans, the divorced mum-of-five said she was not going to have another relationship with a “fame-hungry” man.
She said: “I’ve learned my lesson, I’m not rushing into relationships.
“I’m definitely not gonna go out with fame-hungry people. I’m just sick to death of men hurting me.”
