Katie Price lands yet another TV role as she joins RuPaul's Drag Race UK

Katie Price has landed yet another TV role after swerving jail and amid her row with ex Peter Andre's wife Emily.

Despite her recent controversies, the former glamour model's professional life is on the up, with her landing two new reality shows and now a spot on RuPaul's Drag Race UK vs The World.

The contests will return to BBC Three on February 1, on the day the channel returns to TV after moving online six years ago.

Announcing her role, the show's official Twitter account described 43-year-old Katie as a "pop culture icon".

A tweet read: "As you may have heard in the press, pop culture icon @KatiePrice will be joining Michelle Visage to play the Snatch Game. #DragRaceUK"

One fan was incredibly excited, replying: "Amazing but we need to give this icon a seat at the end of the runway not just snatch game!!"

While another joked that they hoped show bosses were going to "get her a taxi" to the studio.

And others simply begged for the cast list rather than guest appearance announcements.

"The cast baby, we need the cast," one posted.

Meanwhile, former Coronation Street star Michelle Keegan and Spice Girls' Mel C will be stepping in as guest judges.

Little Mix's Jade Thirlwall will also return to the show to offer some tips to the queens as part of a singing challenge.

Bridgerton's Jonathan Bailey, comedian Daisy May Cooper and Radio 1's Clara Amfo are also set to take a seat on the judging panel.

It comes after Katie landed a Channel 4 documentary all about her Mucky Mansion as she attempts to transform it.

She said: "My house has been called the Mucky Mansion in the past, but it’s not that anymore, I’m making it a home. I’m getting my hands dirty and doing a lot of the work myself and, with the help of my amazing family and some brilliant friends, I’m putting the past behind me and rebuilding.

"My house is a bit like my life, it’s being put back together like I’m being put back together."

She's landed a second documentary, Katie Price: Trauma and Me, which will detail her relationship with drink and drugs in the run up to her drink-drive crash that saw her narrowly avoid jail.
