'Wonderful role model' Price voted Mum of the Year

Glamour model Katie Price has been named the Foxy Bingo Celebrity Mum of the Year - for a second time.

The mother-of-three, 33, triumphed following a public poll to regain the title she won five years ago.

Also in the running were Holly Willoughby and Victoria Beckham, and Price edged ahead of Amanda Holden with whom she had been neck-and-neck in the voting.

The model said: "Being a mum is one of the most rewarding jobs in the world but it can also be very hard work - especially juggling a busy career with three kids."

Her former husband Peter Andre - who is father to two of her children Junior, six, and Princess, five - is a current Celebrity Dad of the Year.

Price also has another son, nine-year-old Harvey.

Mark Segal, director of marketing at Foxy Bingo, said of the winner: "She is a wonderful role model for mothers faced with the difficulties of juggling work and motherhood, especially with the challenges she has faced with Harvey, and we at Foxy Bingo congratulate her wholeheartedly on winning."

Price added: "Even when you have friends and family to support you, it makes a huge difference to hear someone say you're doing a good job and winning Celebrity Mum of the Year for the second time feels like a huge triumph, especially because it's chosen by the public."

Collecting her title at a central London hotel, Price said: "When you know there are so many celebrities that have been put up for it, to be number one is brilliant."

But she was not sure about displaying her prize at home - suggesting it may just go in a box.

"My house is very modern and I haven't really got things like this about," she said.

"If I put it on the side, if Harvey is in a bad mood, he would probably pick it up and throw it - lob it out of the window or something. So I'll probably put it in a box with the rest of them."

Price said she hoped she was an inspiration to others that you can balance a career with motherhood.

"You just have to balance everything in life - that's what I do. You have to find time for your career, time for the kids, but you make it all work like any other working family or single mum.

"Hopefully I can inspire mums and families that just because you have kids, it shouldn't stop you having a career and living your dream. I'm a single working mum, that is my job and I just want to give my kids the best life they can have."

She said she was immune to the pressures of being in the public eye.

"To be honest, I've been in the industry for so long now the pressures don't bother me. I am what I am, and I don't do things to please anyone.

"Obviously in the media, you get good things said, bad things said. I know I'm a good mum, I don't have to prove it and be pictured with my kids and stuff to show I'm a good mum."
