Katie Price ‘names the British TV star she claims raped her more than 20 years ago’

Katie Price has named the British TV star she claimed raped her over 20 years ago after previously vowing not to.

Having previously said she would not name her alleged attacker in 2009 and again in 2012, Katie reportedly changed her mind last year.

The revelation was reportedly made during an An Evening with Katie Price and Kerry Katona, on Tuesday night. 

According to The Sun, Katie, 47, named the star and the crowd gasped in response.

A source told The Sun in 2024 that the mum-of-five was spurred on by the MeToo movement to reveal their identity.

‘Katie thinks now is the time, she has nothing to lose,’ they said. ‘After all the me-too stuff she thinks if other people have revealed their sex attackers, why can’t I?’

Katie previously claimed in a magazine column that she was ‘raped by a famous celebrity’ and had said: ‘I was raped by a celebrity but no, I’ll never name him, I just don’t want the drama.’

‘I don’t even know if he knows that I’ve spoken about him, I doubt he does.’

Last year Katie revealed in her memoir This Is Me that she’s been a victim of sexual assault once as a child and twice as an adult.

She wrote: ‘I have been a victim of sexual assault on two more occasions. The second was with a celebrity, but, though I want that acknowledged, I’m not going to be naming them here.’

While Katie didn’t further comment on the celebrity in question, she did recount her horrific assault as a child in ‘the middle of the day’ on her way to a park in Hove, East Sussex.

‘If I close my eyes, I can see his bald head with wisps of ginger hair,’ she wrote. ‘He was a complete stranger who was in my life for no more than a few minutes 39 years ago, and yet I can vividly see him like it was yesterday.’

Katie relived her ‘nightmare of sexual exploitation’ in her memoir, noting the lasting impact it has had on her mental health.

She continued: ‘It was from that moment on that I felt men were always looking at me. I suppose having your innocence shattered from a young age does that to you. The police never found the man with the ginger freckles.’
