Katie Price's four-part Sky documentary 'Nothing To Hide' is tragic viewing. After so much surgery she is unrecognisable from the mesmerising glamour model who was discovered at 18.

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 one-woman phenomenon is typically outspoken in her new documentary series. But don’t expect much in the way of insight from this carefully manufactured show‘In 10 years’ time,” muses 30 Rock’s Jack Donaghy as he watches his employee Kenneth the page walk back to his desk, “we’ll either all be working for him or dead by his hand.” I have always felt much the same way about Katie Price, AKA Jordan, née Katrina Infield, the 90s glamour model turned celebrity turned businesswoman turned cultural behemoth who has dominated headlines, airwaves and, increasingly, television documentary slots over the last 30 years. Her ruthless commodification of herself and others around her, the vaulting ambition, the fortunes earned and spent, the battles fought, the sloughing off of abuse that would have broken any lesser being, the belligerence, the keen intelligence, the dead-eyed stare down any camera lens presented to her, the bizarre vulnerability when it comes to men, the flat monotone voice daring you to poke the basilisk … all of it together is as terrifying as it is fascinating. If she ever chooses to slip her tabloid bonds and turn her attention to wider world domination – well, I for one shall be the first to swear fealty and avoid a much more fatal kind of fate.The latest documentary about the Price phenomenon is called Katie Price: Nothing to Hide. The Beckhams have done one each since Price’s last major outing, the Vardys have a reality show, Coleen Rooney is on the up and up – the correct pecking order must be restored. So here is Price again, on a giant sofa, vaping or chomping through snacks with her luminous giant veneers, swathed in a giant sweatshirt and pants, 10 days after her latest facial surgery and avowing honesty. “You can talk to whoever you like,” she tells the film-maker Paddy Wivell, who generally focuses on non-celebrity subjects (most recently, in Hell Jumper, on volunteers in the war in Ukraine).

Katie Price is opening up about her "rollercoaster" life in the public eye for a new documentary seriesKatie Price’s new four-part documentary, Nothing To Hide, is about to burst onto our screens.The new Sky series – made by Mindhouse, Louis Theroux’s production company – mixes previously unseen footage with commentary from the Celebrity Big Brother winner’s friends and family.Contributors, some of whom surprised Katie herself, include Alex Reid, Dane Bowers, Gareth Gates, Kerry Katona and her two grown-up children Junior and Princess Andre. In a statement, Sky said that Nowhere To Hide would “go beyond the headlines to deliver a revealing portrait of one of Britain’s most enduring celebrity figures”.Speaking to HuffPost UK about Nothing To Hide, Katie teased: “I’m going to take you on a rollercoaster journey. And at the end of it, you will be mentally exhausted.”In the lead-up to its release, critical reception to Nowhere To Hide was mostly positive, with many praising its more “vulnerable” moments.Others, however, felt that it leaned too heavily into the “leering quality of noughties tabloid journalism” rather than a more sensitive documentary.Here’s a selection of what critics have been saying about Katie Price: Nowhere To Hide so far...Metro (4/5)“Katie has surprised me. Not least by retelling the most turbulent years of her life so sincerely, but by finally adding some context and honesty to her weird and wild antics. As a woman, I found it heartbreaking to watch her unravel...“Her rollercoaster life has been entertaining banter for us all for decades, but seeing Katie’s striking vulnerability and accountability has been a long time coming.” The Independent (3/5) “While Price is charismatic and her story full of shock value and cautionary tales, it feels like a parochial entertainment, replicating some of the leering quality of noughties tabloid journalism, rather than the social history it might’ve been.”The Telegraph (2/5)“Family and former lovers speak candidly, but Sky’s series still struggles to reveal anything we haven’t seen before.” Financial Times (4/5)“By showing multiple angles, the documentary takes us beyond the tabloid caricature and towards the woman herself. And in her frankness, Price leaves a lingering sense that she is still, somehow, the one in control.”The Guardian“Could there really be anything left to know about the woman who has, we are told, ‘sold every aspect of her life’? The answer is yes, actually, and it is, remarkably, as fascinating and exhausting as its subject.”Grazia“Entertaining as it is, with juicy new insights into old news stories... it’s impossible to escape the sense that what has been billed as a ‘candid and unfiltered account’ of its subject’s fame is ultimately just an exercise in reputation management – an attempt to soften Price’s image and, presumably, smooth her way back into the mainstream after years on the periphery.”The Journal “One gets the sense that when the camera is on her, Price is well able to be herself, but that perhaps her own complexities are difficult for even her to understand.“Still, this documentary gives the closest look yet at what makes Katie Price ‘Katie Price’. But if we’re honest, the only person who knows who Katie really is is the woman herself.”Katie Price: Nothing To Hide is now streaming on Sky and Now.Related...Katie Price: ‘I Was So Young When The Media And The Public Turned Against Me’Katie Price Blasts Critics Who Branded Husband Going Missing A 'Publicity Stunt'Katie Price's Diesel Advert Banned For 'Objectifying' And 'Sexualising' Women
