Katie Price has shared her real name and questioned her mum Amy's choice of the unusual title. The former glamour model, known as Jordan in the 90s, chose this name as it was catchier than Katie and to protect her family due to her mum's job in the city.
Now 45, she uses the name Katie Price professionally. However, fans may be surprised to learn her full birth name is Katrina Amy Alexandria Alexis Infield.
As reported by The Mirror, Infield was her father Ray's surname, but after he left when she was four, she took on her step-dad Paul's surname, Price. Speaking on Grace Dent's Comfort Food podcast, Katie asked: "What the hell was my mum on? " She also revealed aspects of her life that people don't know about, claiming she is "very underestimated".

Katie said: "Because, you never hear about the stuff I do for charity, you never hear that I compete on my horses, you never hear about me walking all the dogs, you never hear what I do with all the family."
Katie Price opened up about her life, saying: "There's such a different side and I'm actually quite boring, I'm such a homely person. I love being at home."
Grace then said: "What you're saying is there's a cosiness about you that people don't see or know." Talking about how people might get her wrong, Katie shared: "I think people think I'm proper damaged goods. But I would say I'm a survivor.
"I've had a colourful life, but the sad thing is a lot of people these days, they know Katie Price, but they don't know my Jordan days. And I don't think a lot of people realise I've done a hell of a lot in my life, seen a lot, good things, worked a lot, but I'm still humble and down to earth."
She also told a fun story about her family on the podcast. Katie mentioned that her grandmother used to be a topless mermaid on the south coast.
She sat in a glass tank and people would pay to look at her through a telescope. But her grandma lost her job because she smoked a cigarette while in the tank.
Katie laughed and said: "It's true! ". Now, Katie is dating JJ Slater from Married At First Sight UK. They became a couple two weeks ago.
However, some fans are getting confused. Some think JJ, who is 31, could be Katie's nephew or even her son!
Katie Price looks really happy with her new boyfriend, JJ, even though she was engaged to Carl Woods before. She shared a photo with JJ on Instagram and said: "They say things happen for a reason, the unexpected happened. Fate. Ticks every box. [JJ] you have proved to me you are a real gentleman and completely accept me for me."
JJ also wrote a sweet comment saying: "Fate... thank you so much for being you."
