Katie Price has discussed being raped at the age of seven in a candid new interview.
The former glamour model, 42, admitted male figures ‘have always let me down’ as she discussed the horrifying moment, which took place in a park.
Reality star Katie said on Changes with Annie Macmamus: ‘The thing that’s always been wrong in my life is men. That is from an early age. I was raped as a kid. At seven. That is in my first book. I was in a park.’

The mother-of-five first revealed the incident publicly in her autobiography, Being Jordan, in May 2004.
Katie also detailed the damage the ordeal has caused her during an appearance on Loose Women in 2017, stating: ‘There was the sexual assault and I was later raped.
‘I have discussed before and I do believe it led to me dressing provocatively and becoming a model.
‘I had been training to be a nurse but the glamour modelling world is aimed at men. They can look but they can’t touch. You can say or do what you like in a picture.’

Elsewhere on the podcast, the media personality bravely spoke about being sexually exploited by a photographer, and how her traumas led her to seek help from The Priory last year.
The businesswoman added to host Annie Mac: ‘And then I got involved with this photographer who ended up being in prison. He was obsessed with me.’
‘He took indecent photographs that I thought were innocent at the time. I was 12. He made me do pictures where I was sticking my tongue out. They looked young and girly but to him. It is sexual. He used to make these milkshakes.
‘I never took one because I didn’t like it. The police when they came around.. that’s what he did he made the girls drink them and he drugged them.’
The TV star also revealed ‘someone tried to get me in their car’ before she became a teenager, adding: ‘My mum has had this constant all the time. My dad left although I can’t remember… subconsciously your mind remembers everything. It is there.
‘So they worked out (at The Priory) the reason I jumped in and out relationships.. it is not wanting that father figure… they always let me down .. that has been my trouble in life it is to do with men.’
