KATIE Price says she is “shrewd but acts stupid”.

The former glamour model appears in a new BBC documentary about reality television and celebrity.

The Brighton-born mother of five, who grew up in Patcham, said “she actually knows what’s going on” when it comes to her drama-filled life.

Katie made the claims during an episode of new BBC Two series Celebrity: A 21st Century Story.

The series looks at fame in the early Noughties when tabloid culture was at its peak.

Katie first shot to fame at the age of 18, appearing on Page 3 in The Sun under the pseudonym “Jordan.”

She later appeared as Jordan in FHM, the British edition of Playboy and Vogue.

Commenting on that period of her life, she said: “I was going out clubbing, getting p***ed, falling out of nightclubs.”

“I’ve always been me and there’s just always been a drama.”

Katie’s celebrity status reached new heights following an appearance ITV’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2004.

During the series she started a high-profile relationship with Australian singer, Peter Andre.

The pair married in 2005 and had two children, Junior and Princess, before divorcing in 2009.

Katie said: “There’s not many people you can say in this world who have their whole life documented .”
