For years, Katie Price kept quiet about a dark chapter in her life.
But fresh revelations suggest the television personality might have named the British TV star she accuses of raping her more than 20 years ago — not in private, but during her time on a reality show watched by millions.
A Secret Revealed in the Jungle
According to Kerry Katona, Katie allegedly disclosed the name of her alleged attacker while filming I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! back in 2004.
The confession reportedly happened off-air during her first appearance on the jungle-based ITV show in Australia, but the footage never made it to broadcast for legal reasons.
Years later, during a live tour titled An Evening with Katie Price and Kerry Katona, Katie repeated the shocking revelation before an audience, drawing gasps as she identified the man she claims attacked her.
Kerry, who shared the stage that night, confirmed she remembered Katie mentioning the same name when they were in the jungle together.
Breaking a Long Silence
The mother of five had always insisted she wouldn’t expose the person responsible.
But after the rise of the MeToo movement, Katie admitted she had changed her mind.
Friends revealed she once planned to reveal the name in a tell-all book, saying she felt inspired by other survivors who came forward publicly.
A source close to her explained that Katie believed she had nothing left to lose — that after years of silence, it was time to speak her truth.
Still, when contacted by the press, her representatives declined to comment, keeping the matter shrouded in uncertainty.
Revisiting a Painful Past
Katie first opened up about being raped in a 2009 column for OK! magazine.
At the time, she was responding to claims involving her then-partner Alex Reid, who was accused of appearing in a controversial film that seemed to glorify sexual assault.
She made it clear she would never be linked to such a subject, revealing for the first time that she had been raped multiple times when she was younger.
Her words were heartfelt and deeply personal.
“Rape is something that’s very close to my heart,” she wrote.
“I’d never be associated with anything or anyone that treats it lightly.”
She urged women who had suffered similar experiences to reach out for help rather than endure their pain in silence.
The 2018 South Africa Attack
Tragically, Katie’s trauma didn’t end there.
In 2018, while filming My Crazy Life for ITV in South Africa, she was attacked again during a violent carjacking.
She recounted how six armed men ambushed her and her team, holding her at gunpoint.
The horrifying experience, she later said, left her with severe PTSD and triggered a downward spiral that included a mental breakdown and a suicide attempt.
She told the Daily Mail that the ordeal could have been prevented if there had been proper security.
“If we’d had protection, those men wouldn’t have gotten near us,” she said.
“They held me at gunpoint and raped me. I was terrified.”
Opening Up About Her Mental Health Battles
Katie has since spoken openly about the emotional aftermath of those traumatic experiences.
On SAS: Celebrity Who Dares Wins in 2020, she recalled that police described it as a miracle she survived the attack.
Later, in her Channel 4 documentary Trauma and Me, she shared how her mental health deteriorated after years of trauma.
“I hit severe depression on top of PTSD,” she admitted.
“I didn’t want to live anymore. I tried to end my life — I knocked myself out, woke up with bruises around my neck and black eyes. I just didn’t want to be here.”
What’s Next for Katie
After decades of silence, Katie Price’s willingness to speak out about her experiences marks a turning point — not only for her but for countless women who have endured similar pain.
Whether or not she chooses to publicly identify her alleged attacker again remains uncertain, but her story continues to shed light on the long-lasting scars of sexual violence and the strength it takes to reclaim one’s voice.
