The documentary 'Katie Price: Nothing to Hide' drops on Sky on Wednesday, made by Mindhouse (Louis Theroux's production company) and directed by Paddy Wyvell. Marina Hyde is effusive: Price has 'nuclear candour,' and there is nothing she would have taken out. The documentary opens with a striking image — a decrepit pink Range Rover with flat tyres blocking a garage door, forcing Price to crawl underneath. Inside the garage: a box labelled 'exes and surgery.' [1] — Marina Hyde "The opening scene of the Katie Price documentary says everything: a pink Range Rover with caved-in windows and flat tyres blocking the gara…" 27:20 The hosts trace Price's origin story — a solitary, horse-loving child who was abused twice by her mid-teens, changed overnight at 14, and by 16 already knew she would be famous. Her Page 3 breakthrough came after someone sent pictures of her taken on Brighton Beach; The Sun renamed her Jordan from a list of oddly normal names. Marina recounts how The Sun told a defiant young Price she had destroyed her career by getting implants — but she had actually foreseen a new model of fame built on self-ownership, a decade before the Kardashians. Director Paddy Wyvell says in an interview that the hardest thing was knowing where to end the film, as Price's life kept generating new drama even during the edit — most recently an apparent romance with a man in Dubai claiming to have been kidnapped and taken to a black site.
The Katie Price documentary on Sky — made by Louis Theroux's Mindhouse and directed by Paddy Wyvell — is remarkable for its unflinching access. Price has what Marina Hyde calls a 'nuclear candour': there is nothing she would take out, no question she deflects, no version of the story she softens. It's beyond 'I Am What I Am'.
The Katie Price documentary 'Nothing to Hide' was made by Mindhouse, Louis Theroux's production company, and directed by Paddy Wyvell.
The opening scene of the Katie Price documentary says everything: a pink Range Rover with caved-in windows and flat tyres blocking the garage door, forcing Price to crawl underneath. Inside the garage, amid pink fun fur and memorabilia, sits a box labelled simply 'exes and surgery.' Even she admits it's a big box.
When The Sun told a 20-something Katie Price she had destroyed her career by getting breast implants, she had actually foreseen a new model of fame built on owning yourself. Keeping Up with the Kardashians didn't launch until 2007 — Price was already there, selling pap shots through a coded agency arrangement and publishing autobiography bestsellers.
Long before influencer monetisation existed as a concept, Katie Price had a coded arrangement with a paparazzi agency: his code on the photo got him his money, her code on the same photo got her hers. Her logic was simple — if someone's going to profit from pictures of me going out drunk after a heart attack, it should be me. Radical self-ownership before the language existed to describe it.
Marina Hyde noted that Keeping Up with the Kardashians only launched in 2007, emphasising how early Katie Price had pioneered the reality-celebrity-commodity model.
