Katie Price has appeared on numerous reality shows including I’m A Celebrity and Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.
But her most successful stint on the show came in January 2015, when she entered the Celebrity Big Brother house. Joining the show on Day 10, she would go on to be crowned the winner, beating out Hollywood royalty and vile trolls alike to take the top spot.
Whilst Katie, 45, seemed to be level-headed during her stint on the show, she did have quite a few ups and downs regarding her experience. These ranged from secret confessions to outright arguments with fellow housemates.

The Pricey joined the show much later in the series than the other remaining housemates. Katie entered the house in a live show on Day 10 of the series.
Those already in the House were taking on a task of their own to pander to King Perez Hilton and Queen Cami-Li. Entering as the fairy godmother, Katie’s entrance stunned her fellow housemates as they rushed to welcome her to the house.
However, no sooner than she arrived did she have to immediately punish three contestants by sending them to the gilded cage to sleep in for the night. She chose Perez, Cami-Li and Loose Woman Nadia Sawalha.
Katie’s entrance boosted the show’s ratings immensely, with over 3 million people tuning in to watch the model enter the house. This would be third most-watched episode of the series, with the overall average viewership for the series being 2.72 million people.
Breast implant woes
Going into the show, Price had secretly been seeking medical attention during her stay in the House. It was later revealed that she was having issues with her breast implants at the time, and that the breast implants were falling out of her.
Reflecting on her time in the house in a video uploaded to her Youtube, she explained that was trying to make money by doing the show whilst trying to recover from her boob job. “I was given the option to go back to Belgium to sort my boobs out or to go on Big Brother – me being me, I tried to do both,” she recalled.
Katie revealed that whilst she was in the House, she was receiving medical attention three times a week from her surgeon to stop her breast implants from coming out. “As soon as I did come out, I went straight to Belgium and had my implants completely taken out for six months, so during my time in there, I was actually a bit poorly,” Katie said.
Following her Big Brother stint, Katie would continue to have multiple breast implants, with her going under the knife for the sixteenth time for her boobs in 2022. Friends and family have since raised concerns about her well-being with so many surgical procedures, but Katie hit back and said she could do what she wants with her body.
Heated debates

During her time in the Celebrity Big Brother house, Katie clashed with former Sun columnist Katie Hopkins. Hopkins had made digs about Katie and her lifestyle in the run-up to the Pricey going into the house, and as they grew to live together, tensions would grow.
Emotions finally boiled over in a heated argument over Katie Price’s disabled son Harvey and his treatment for his various illnesses. Hopkins blasted Price for letting taxpayers pay for his treatment, which she said would cost £1,000 a day.
Price, however, was quick to defend her child, who is blind, autistic and suffers from septo-optic dysplasia. She argued back saying that as she pays taxes, she should be allowed to use the NHS to treat her child, something that continued to bug the showbiz legend for the rest of her time in the House.
After Katie Price pipped Katie Hopkins to the post in the final, Hopkins had some choice words to say about her fellow contestant. Immediately after leaving the show, Hopkins branded Price “boring”, while in a 2021 interview, Price called Hopkins “vile” for her comments on the show.
Awkward run-ins
Going into the House, the businesswoman was asked by producers who she believed she would get on well with. She responded with model Calum Best, whom she revealed she had previous history with.
Katie admitted that at one point, she was certain that she and Calum had had a cheeky snog. However, she could not remember it herself and jokingly quipped: “He might have said, ‘No, you spat in my mouth, you didn’t kiss me’ – but I did one or the other.”
The pair would eventually address it when Katie Hopkins whether the pair had gotten it on, to which both confirmed a snog had happened. As Calum recalled they were both “wasted”, Price asked whether spitting was actually involved.
The hunky model replied: “Yeah, I asked her to spit in my mouth, just naughty stuff.” Professional loudmouth Hopkins was left stunned at the information and recoiled in horror as the pair reminisced in detail on their one night of fun.
