Katie Price to launch charity

Katie Price at the Duke of Essex Polo Trophy

Katie Price's reputation has been somewhat tarnished by her recent antics in Ibiza.

But the glamour model is set to try and improve her image by launching her own charity.

Price, otherwise known as Jordan, has received nothing but negative publicity since her split with Andre and is keen to distance herself from her party-going alter ego, according to the Mirror.

She is expected to announce launch of the Katie Price Foundation which will reportedly focus on a better quality of life for sick and disabled children.

Price yesterday attended the Duke of Essex Polo Trophy in Epping, Essex dressed in a skin-tight leopard-print dress and high heels but it is expected to be her last official charity fundraiser before she concentrates on her own charity work.

Each of the organisations for which she currently works are, however, expected to receive donations via the Katie Price Foundation.

A source close to Price told the Mirror: "Harvey's condition has caused her years of pain and she understands the struggle parents go through with a disabled child. She wants to help other parents like her who are less fortunate."

While her intentions are admirable, Katie will need to work hard to rescue her reputation.

While her efforts are admirable with regard to taking this step, it is hard to forget her actions over the last few weeks. It may have been peter who left her, but she has behaved appallingly. Going to Ibiza and showing herself up like she has has just shown her for her true trashy colours, drunkenly threatening to cut people and playing knock down ginger in hotels, these are all actions of an immature idiot, not a so called respectable mother of three children that wants to be the heroine of the sick and disabled. She whines that she is the victim, and that everyone is giving her a lambasitng. Behave like an adult then there won't be a problem. To be honest i am so sick of this woman and her selfish attitude. Its all about me me me dot com and how much exposure can i get from my next photo shoot, and who can i include to up my profile.

Well done Katie, at least your trying to do something useful, unlike that parasite of an ex- husband of yours. keep up the good ambitions, you'll make it work, and continue to have a goodtime, enjoy yourself, you deserve it after being married to that creep.

She's worth £40 million. How much will she put in £50,000? if that, all in a sad attempt to get her good name back. Why doesn't she just fade out of public sight and do her do-gooding quietly like other people? She's been worth millions for years and never thought of it until she shot herself in the foot. No, she has to make it all public. Why don't we just ignore her? I agree with Bill, it should be called Harvey's Foundation not in her name.

Absolutely reeks of desperation to try and restore her reputation as a good mother and role model! Not saying its not a good idea but its her intentions behind it that I question. If she was such a good mother then she wouldn't be in all the papers and magazines for her drunken and violent behaviour and she wouldn't flash her boobs and bum off all the time! What a great role model for her daughter!

Of course she names the charity after herself - she wants all the acclaim. She should call it The Harvey Foundation and then she should fade quietly into the background to run the charity to help other kids. However, in all honesty, with her recent behaviour she has shot herself in the foot and not many people respect or even like her any more. She's worth £40 million - how much will she put into the charity I wonder, bet it won't be much.

First thoughts: shes's just doing it to salvage her very damaged and tarnished reputation and she thinks we are all stupid enough not to see through it! Pathetic.

The only thing she cares about is herself and her rapidly fading celebrity staus. She will do anything for publicity, good or bad. She's a dog.
