Early Life
Born in 1978 in Brighton, East Sussex, southeast England, Katie Price was the only child of Amy (née Charlier) and Ray Infield. At the age of four, her father left the family. In 1988, her mother married builder Paul Price, after which she acquired the surname Price. She has an older brother named Daniel and a younger maternal half-sister Sophie from two of her mother's other marriages.
Price attended Blatchington Mill School and, although not an academic student, she excelled at sport, swimming for Sussex in regional competitions. During her childhood, she also developed a passion for horses and horse-riding. Aged six, Price was molested by a man in a park's bushes. She began modelling as a child and, at the age of 13, modeled for a clothing line. However, unknown to Price, the project's photographer was a convicted paedophile and insisted on shooting her in her underwear. Price left school in 1994, at the age of 16.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“Some would find fault with the morning red, if they ever got up early enough.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It is no small mischief to a boy, that many of the best years of his life should be devoted to the learning of what can never be of any real use to any human being. His mind is necessarily rendered frivolous and superficial by the long habit of attaching importance to words instead of things; to sound instead of sense.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)
