The director and producer of a new documentary series about the former glamour model Katie Price have revealed what she was like when they first met
The director and one of the producers of the Katie Price documentary now appearing on Sky have spoken about what it was like meeting Katie for the first time.
The new production, called Katie Price: Nothing to Hide, follows Katie’s career from the start to the present day. It is directed by Paddy Wivell alongside producer Laura Wadha.
Both appeared on Katie Price’s vodcast, which she co-hosts with her younger sister Sophie Price, to discuss the new documentary. One of the questions Katie asked was what she was like when Paddy and Laura first met her at her house.
Whilst Paddy admitted to being a little nervous and began speaking about the importance of creating a connection, Katie interrupted, wanting the question she’d originally asked to be answered: “Was I welcoming?”
Laura replied: “You made us feel very at home and welcome. Kettle on, chatting. I think you said, ‘Yeah go on, make yourself a tea’. I think we all took turns to making tea.”
Katie replied: “Whoever comes to my house, make it your home.”
Paddy added: “You made it so easy because it is so relaxed. There’s no prima donna stuff. It’s just very relaxed. It doesn’t always start on time, I would say that.”
Paddy had earlier in the conversation admitted to being a little bit nervous, but that was in part because of wanting the final product to feel right.
He explained: “Whenever you meet someone that’s going to be in the film, you’re just a bit nervous, aren’t you? It’s like, it’s tentative beginnings. You’re like you want to make sure you get on, you want to make sure you don’t offend someone.
“You’re starting to build an actual real relationship. So what you hope that people get from the series is the sense of quite an intimate and authentic relationship between us as the filmmakers and you, Kate, as the subject.
“Because it becomes much richer for it and the more like, the audience feels like they’ve got that relationship between you and us, and us and your family, and all the key contributors has depth to it, is authentic, it’s real, it’s relaxed, it’s intimate, the better the series is going to be.
“I think people unconsciously, subconsciously, plug into that and go ‘I’m going to go with these people. This is going to be a great story. It’s going to be told in a way we’ve not really experienced it before’.”
This isn’t the only time Katie has spoken about her documentary, with the podcast revealing how her children Junior and Princess had said they would only appear in the series if they could be honest about their experiences when Katie was having a breakdown and on drugs.
Appearing on This Morning, Katie said: “They said: ‘Mum if we’re going to do this, we’re going to be brutally honest … and I said: ‘I want you to speak from your heart.’ And Junior said: ‘I proper broke down’ and Princess said: ‘So did I’ and I was like ‘Why?’ …
“I never knew because obviously I wanted to kill myself and I did try … That period of my life, I don’t think people realise when I said when I said I had a breakdown, I wanted to die, didn’t want to be here.
“And so as much as I thought I was being a mum, I wasn’t. I was vacant. For young kids like that wanting their mum. I was trying to be the perfect mum and obviously I wasn’t. It kills me I put them through that.
“Obviously we’ve come through the other end and they’re like: ‘We’ve got our mum back’ but what confused them is that I was such an amazing mum, had the breakdown, didn’t have the mum that they needed and wanted.”
