Price 'to front US reality show'

Katie Price has reportedly landed a £1m (€1.2m) deal to present a US reality TV show.

The 32-year-old former glamour model – who travelled to Los Angeles last month for screen tests – will front the eight-part series ‘Make Me A Hunk’, where she will help transform a geeky guy in each episode.

A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “It is a huge deal for Kate and she is thrilled. It is the biggest gig of her career to date and the first time she will have fronted a TV show.”

Katie – who recently filed for divorce from cage-fighter Alex Reid after 11 months of marriage – is said to have won over producers with her acerbic wit and British charm and now the show is the focus of a bidding war between three big US networks, ABC, E! and CW.

The insider added: “Contrary to other reports, this deal was the reason she was in the States. American networks love all things British at the moment.

“They feel viewers will warm to Kate’s-larger-than life personality and blunt put-downs – although producers were startled at how sarcastic and rude she was to the guy in the pilot episode. But it worked, she toughened him up and worked her magic.”
