Katie Price's new documentary, Katie Price: Nothing to Hide, offers a raw and heartbreaking look at the star's life, revealing for the first time the full context behind her tumultuous public persona. The first episode, reviewed ahead of its release, details a childhood sexual assault that Price says fundamentally altered her life.
Childhood Trauma Revealed
In the Sky Original documentary, Price, now 48, recounts being sexually assaulted by a stranger in a park when she was seven years old. 'I remember it clear as day, his face, the feelings of what he did,' she says. 'The police were talking – I don't know what they asked – but I remember they took my knickers.' She describes the incident as 'disgusting' and says it led to a pattern of abuse: 'Through the years there's been abuse from men against me. Taking advantage of me from a young age for their self-benefit.'
The documentary juxtaposes images of a young Price in her school uniform with her adult reflections, underscoring the long-term impact. Price explains that the assault created a coping mechanism where she craved male attention but feared physical intimacy. This, she says, led to the creation of her Page 3 alter-ego, Jordan, whom she now calls 'ugly, ugly, ugly.' 'I wanted people to want me. I wanted people to want to f**k me, but the most powerful thing about it is they couldn't touch me, it's just a picture,' she states.
A History of Troubled Relationships
The documentary also explores Price's well-documented love life, which includes four marriages and nine engagements. She admits to a pattern of vulnerability: 'I'm such a strong person, but when I've been in love, I've been blind. I've always needed a man, always been vulnerable and needy.' Her recent marriage to Lee Andrews, a suspected conman and AI enthusiast, after knowing him for only a week, is presented as another example of this pattern.
Despite the heavy themes, the series includes lighter moments that showcase Price's humour. While rummaging through her garage, she discovers a box of memorabilia from her relationship with Peter Andre and quips, 'Oh, that's not a good one to pick up…' She also mocks Victoria Beckham while recalling a past fear that her then-boyfriend Dane Bowers was in love with the singer. In another anecdote, she admits to breaking into Bowers' flat and stealing the right foot from all his Nike TN trainers after suspecting he had moved on.
Public Perception vs. Private Pain
Critics have long dismissed Price as a publicity seeker, but the documentary aims to reframe her narrative. Producer Louis Theroux's Bafta-winning Mindhouse production combines unseen footage with first-time testimony. Price herself acknowledges her past mistakes: 'I've never had time to reflect, and it's about time I look at what I've really done – I know I've hurt people and I know I've made mistakes.'
The series, directed by Paddy Wivell, includes interviews with family members such as her siblings Amy, Paul, and Sophie Price, as well as her children Junior and Princess Andre. Other figures from her life, including Gareth Gates, Alex Reid, and Kerry Katona, also appear.
Katie Price: Nothing to Hide airs on Sky and NOW from July 8, 2026.
