Katie Price has opened up on how she got her start as a glamour model – with her first Page 3 experience rather “seedy”.
The mum-of-three was just 18 years old when she went to her first shoot and was so nervous she felt she was “s***ting” herself.

“I remember going in this office building, it looked like a dirty dungeon office building,” she recalled in her new podcast, The Katie Price Show.
“I was thinking ‘Oh my God this looks really dodgy and I just knocked on this door and this little old man answered.

“He opened the door and there were just pictures everywhere of topless women all over his wall and I thought ‘Oh my God, is this really seedy or what?’
“I remember going in his back room – because I used to do my own make up in those days, and he just had so much underwear in there, it was amazing…”
And in the photographer’s studio there was a giant mirror behind the camera so that models could see themselves posing, which helped Katie learn how to show off her body to best effect.

She’s always been comfortable in front of the camera, explaining. “You’re either photogenic or you’re not …I’m just a natural.
“People say when I’m in front of the camera, I’m like an animal. I don’t know how I do it but I do… My eyes change. I just know how to work the camera.
“I love being on front of the camera posing. I would ‘say I’m the best-looking girl out there I just now how to do it.”

The photographer’s huge stores of lingerie came in handy when it came to take the photos that made Katie’s name.
“The first time I did it, it didn’t make the paper,” she continued.
“But then the following week, it was when the Demi Moore film Striptease came out, they were looking for a model from Monday to Friday to start with an underwear outfit on, like a suspender outfit, and each day take a bit off.
“I think that’s what kick started my career because I was in the paper every day”
