Exclusive By Ian Ray
There will be plenty who’ll scoff as Katie Price launches a bid for chart glory with her first solo single this week.
The artist formerly known as Jordan is herself under no illusions she’s a Lady Gaga-in-waiting, but you can’t help feeling she’s not doing herself any favours in owning up to a less-than-inspiring singing voice.
“I don’t think you have to be a good singer these days,” the 32-year-old model says, days after her return from a Thailand honeymoon with cage fighter and Celebrity Big Brother contestant Alex Reid (one of a number of items I was told she wouldn’t be talking about during a seven minute, 11 second phone interview organised to promote the single).
But it seems record-buyers don't agree with her - chart figures suggest she will fail to even make the top 40.
The glamour model was on a publicity blitz this week with interviews and TV appearances to drum up interest in her dance track Free To Love Again.
But midweek chart placings show she is on course to make only number 59 following the release of the single on Monday.
