What else has Katie Price been up to?
Meanwhile, Katie recently revealed her plans to take the surname of her fiancé Carl Woods.
The former Love Island star popped the question with a seven carat diamond ring last month.
Katie, who has been married three times previously, has not taken any of her former husbands’ names.
Speaking to Notebook magazine, she said: “I have never changed my surname for anyone – but I’m going to change it legally and be known as Katie Woods.
“I’m proud of it. It’s going to be a new me and a new era.”
Earlier this month, Katie and Carl appeared on Good Morning Britain to discuss their engagement news.

Furthermore, Carl insisted Katie has “changed” for the better.
