Katie Price has publicly named the British television star she alleges raped her more than two decades ago during her ongoing UK theatre tour with Kerry Katona.
The former glamour model and reality star made the revelation while appearing on stage at her An Evening with Katie Price and Kerry Katona show in Stockport this week. The 38-date tour sees the pair share candid stories about their lives and careers with audiences across the country.
According to attendees, Price, 47, spoke about being assaulted over twenty years ago — something she has previously discussed but never identified the alleged perpetrator. Her comments reportedly came after a similar discussion at an earlier date in Bradford, where she told fans she had been attacked by a well-known British celebrity.
Price has mentioned the incident several times over the years. In 2009 and again in 2012, she said she would “never” name the man involved, telling fans she wanted to avoid the “drama” that would follow.
At the time, Surrey Police confirmed that no formal complaint had been made, but that an incident had been recorded. “Surrey Police treats all reports of sexual offences very seriously and investigates them thoroughly, encouraging anyone who may have been a victim to come forward and providing specialist officers to support them,” a spokesperson said in a 2012 statement.
They added that the matter could not be pursued further without a formal allegation: “Based on our inquiries and the lack of substantiated information – particularly around locations and dates of any allegations – we have recorded an incident, but due to its very historic nature we are dependent on Miss Price’s co-operation to formally record a crime and continue any investigation.”
Price has never previously named the man publicly until this week’s performance.
The revelation came during a turbulent stop on the tour, which has been described as unpredictable and often chaotic. Earlier this week, Price arrived more than two hours late to a show at Whitley Bay’s Playhouse, forcing Katona to begin the evening alone.
Organisers said the event had been delayed due to “technical difficulties”, though Price later told fans she had been delayed by caring responsibilities for her eldest son, Harvey.
When she finally took to the stage, she performed her 2017 single I Got U before continuing the conversation segment with Katona.
The evening wrapped up shortly after 10.20pm, with fans who purchased meet-and-greet tickets still able to greet the pair after the show.
