I know that Katie Price isn't the smartest girl in class (to support my case, may I present to the court her husband Peter Andre), but surely even she must know how people write books. You have an idea, sit down and either scribble it down by hand or type it. Once you've covered the beginning, middle and the end – voila! You are done. That all sound too confusing for you there, Katie?
Apparently so, as with her busy schedule of plastic surgery, OK! magazine 'exclusives' (she's not famous in America, of course it's exclusive to the UK!) and being professionally half-naked, the poor lass doesn't know what writers do. Speaking at the launch of Mermaids and Pirates, her new children's book series, the reality TV star admitted that she doesn't write her own books.
"I don't actually write them, I say how I want the story. Like I've said before in any of my books, even my autobiographies, it's all about me, but it's the bits they add in like 'It's a sunny day and the daffodils were blooming' - things like that obviously haven't come from me. Like Pete would say, it's no different to a producer doing a record."
I'm not pretending that the world is missing out by not having books written directly from the manicured talons of the artist formerly known as Jordan, nor that it is uncommon for celebrities to have their books ghostwritten. But to liken it to a music producer is a bit tacky (I know, I know), especially in light of her Perfect Ponies: My Pony Care Book being nominated for the WH Smith's Children's Book of the Year Award.
Hang your greasy extensions in shame young lady.
