Katie Price's unusual real name revealed - and the reasons why she changed it

Katie Price . Jordan. At this rate the glamour model has almost had as many names as Cheryl.

Katie wasted no time in changing it when she turned 17 - proclaiming: "I don't know what my mum was thinking!

"I hated [my name]."

When she was born in 1978, Katie's mum Amy had a whole list of favourites that she couldn't narrow down - so instead just gave them all, as the Mirror reports.

As a result, Katrina Amy Alexandria Alexis Infield was born.
