WHERE DID THE MONEY GO? CHANNEL 5 ANNOUNCES NEW DOCUMENTARY ON KATIE PRICE

Once upon a time, Katie Price was reportedly worth £45m. She was the ultimate ‘living brand’ – a one woman media empire who mingled with royalty, married celebrities and dominated red carpets across the world.



But now it’s all gone… and then some. The tax authorities are making her pay them back via her Only Fans account, and a long list of creditors and exes are demanding payment. So how did this iconic ‘living brand’ manage to spend money like it’s going out of fashion?



This topical documentary goes beyond the headlines to explore the financial pitfalls of fame and what it’s like to navigate and manage bankruptcy so publicly. The programme charts Katie’s humble beginnings to bursting onto the glamour modelling scene at the age of eighteen, creating the Jordan persona.


She became a regular on Page 3 in the Sun, a star of lads’ mags, and even a Playboy cover model, but that was just the beginning. A stint in the jungle on I’m A Celebrity… brought Katie to a wider audience, and with it, fame and fortune.



The programme look in detail at the spending excesses and the bad decisions that have got her to this point. Now, as she stares down the barrel of an unpaid £750,000 tax bill, and, having already been arrested for failing to appear in court for a previous bankruptcy hearing, Katie’s being forced to face the music and her fairytale is turning into a grim tale.


Katie Price: Where Did The Money Go? airs Sunday 8th September at 9pm on Channel 5.
