A Timeline: the rise and fall of Katie Price


Katie Price is undoubtably Britain's most famous glamour model who has had a glittering 12-year career.

She has achieved great success in the entertainment industry with many careers other than her modelling, including Actress, Author, TV Personality, Songwriter, Producer and Business Woman.

However, is her luck about to run out?
