Katie Price’s claim that she has bagged a big-money deal with Netflix following the success of fellow Brits David Beckham and Robbie Williams has been denied by the streaming giant.
Netflix has scored hits with documentaries on major celebrities, including Beckham, whose docuseries "Beckham" received 2024 Emmy nominations, and former Take That star, Williams, who also brought in the big viewing figures with his offering.
Price boasted that she was set to become the latest British star to feature in a fly on the wall series about her life on the streamer.
On Friday, July 19, morning, the 46-year-old visited Hits Radio and said that she’s already signed up for the new series and has a superstar producer at the helm.
"I’m doing a Netflix series about my life," she announced, adding that filming will begin "at the end of the month."
She expressed her excitement, saying, "I can’t wait to have my life on Netflix as a three-parter."
Price also hinted at a high-profile producer being involved, though she kept the name under wraps. "I can’t tell you who the producer, director is but when my sister told me I said 'Are you joking? What? He even knows who I am?!'"
However, Netflix has since told The Standard that this is categorically untrue.
“Netflix is not doing a documentary with Katie Price,” said a spokesperson.
The Standard has reached out to Price’s representative for comment.
Throughout nearly three decades in the public eye, Price has been very open about her personal life in her autobiographies and numerous reality shows, which would beg the question of what more insight Netflix could give a viewer in a documentary about her life.
She was a glamour model in the Nineties and became famous after falling pregnant with her first child Harvey - born with Prader-Willi Syndrome, autism, and septo-optic dysplasia - with former footballer, Dwight Yorke.
Yorke, 52, initially denied paternity before taking a DNA test that proved Harvey was his. He has famously been an absentee father to Harvey, now 21, and Price recently revealed the ex England star has only seen him nine times since he was born.
Price’s resilience and caring for her disabled son as a single mother gained her an army of fans and public support.
She later saw her fame boosted when she appeared in a string of TV reality shows, most notably, I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!
Her personal life, including marriages to Peter Andre, who she met on the ITV series and then did a fly on the wall series about their dating and subsequent marriage, with, became well documented in the tabloid press.
Following their split, she married boxer Alex Reid, and then Kieran Hayler. Her relationships, including one with Dane Bowers, and her ongoing legal troubles, recent home eviction and bankruptcy has kept her in the spotlight.
