Love Katie, not so keen on Jordan

I HAD the pleasure of talking to Katie Price today - and it really was a pleasure.

I found her open, friendly and polite. Katie, as opposed to her alter ego, brash glamour model Jordan, is a sweetie.

The only annoyance was that her publicist cut me off just as I was getting to the juicy stuff. I'm sure Katie would have been happy to chat further, but after only 10 minutes I was informed that she had to go, "unless I had any more horsey questions".

As I'd exhausted our conversation about her forthcoming appearance at the NEC for the Horse of the Year Show, Katie was hustled away. There's only so many questions you can ask about dressage, tack and mucking out.

I guess I was lucky to get to talk to Katie at all, as these days you usually have to pay for interviews with her - partly a sad indictment of the way celebrity works now, but also an indication of her savvy business brain. She hasn't accrued a £30 million fortune without knowing how to exploit every opportunity.

You'll have to buy the Mercury on Sunday to find out what Katie had to say about having more children, how she's going to shock the horsey set, and what item of clothing Peter Andre finds sexy on his wife.
