Pretty sure she is broke and reliant on these paid tabloid articles and other base incomes to pay the leccy or raise awareness for obscure TV work etc.
If she's so broke, who pays for her tattoos and tits then?Chubbyross said:

Except curiously age is also a protected characteristic and they're allowed to discriminate based on that. It's all a bit random really.
If they were prevented from doing that, it would become impossible to offer things like health and life insurance. They are generally allowed to discriminate on protected characteristics where they can show that there is a real risk basis for it, with the exception of gender which has been specifically excluded.Deranged Rover said:

Whilst on the face of it her claims are spurious and she is correctly being charged a lot of money for her insurance based on risk, it is interesting that she would be charged less as an author, presumably still disclosing the same driving and criminal history. Is an author who keeps breaking the law and crashing cars any less of a risk than a model who does the same? It's obviously not discrimination, but an interesting question none the less about where the primacy lies in determining the key risk factors.
AIUI the (far) higher price for models/celebrities (and also those in similar industries) is because of the risk that they may have celebrities[1] in their car and in a "fault" claim the insurance may be on the hook for injuries/damages for loss of earnings etc. Which could be massive and hence the greater risk comes with greater cost. Even before you get to the DD, no insurance and accident history! [1] In Katie Price's case footballers, singers and actors!

Given who typically purchases tattoos and tits they wouldn't appear to be expensive things and clearly affordable even via Universal Credit. They're sunk costs anyway from when she was very wealthy. Sadly, she has pretty much binned all her wealth, is in huge debt and her earning capacity has plummeted with age.
To be fair to her, she has totally screwed herself over and looks to be in a pretty dismal terminal decline.

I remember seeing a documentary some years ago where she was, as Katie Price mucking out some horses, not covered in makeup and she just seemed a normal sort of girl, quite pleasant, different gain to the persona but its like Katie has been possessed by her "Hyde side" Jordan.
She could have done all the personal appearances, lads mags and whatever else, and with good advice and some financial planning been set for life, but thats not what seems to be driving her, its the fame and adulation, maybe the infamy.
She is now a middle aged woman, and I know a lot of women think they become invisible once past 40 but I really dont think they do, I think in a lot of cases its self respect and image rather than perception of others, no need to make yourself look like a hastily carved and varnished ships figurehead to retain your youth. A subtle nip and tuck here can work, not anti surgery but massive fake chests and duck lips etc, nope, seems to work the other way and make you look older.
She needs to make what she can and fade into the background, behave herself and forget trying to be who she was 25 years ago, but I feel these incidents are signs of mental health failing, if she carries on like this I cant see her living to a grand old age. Hopefully she doesnt hurt anyone else, can only make so many excuses and crashing a Range Rover when bladdered doesnt ever get excused.
