Katie Price lands job as a reporter on Steph’s Packed Lunch and starts filming tomorrow
KATIE Price has signed up as a reporter for Steph's Packed Lunch, The Sun can exclusively confirm.
The model turned reality TV star begins filming for Channel 4's lunchtime chat show tomorrow.
Katie will make four short films for the show looking at different issues close to her heart.
The first film is about online trolling - something her disabled son Harvey, 18, has suffered from for years.
"Katie looks forward to reporting on current affairs that are close to her heart," her rep exclusively tells The Sun.
"She is delighted to be joining Steph and the team on the show."
The Sun previously revealed that Katie, who used to be a regular panelist on Loose Women, entered talks to join the daytime magazine series last month.
We can now confirm her first day on air will take place tomorrow as she begins working alongside host Steph McGovern.
Katie, 42, will host her own segment on location every two weeks or twice a week, following a similar vibe to presenter Miquita Oliver.
It isn't her first turn in front of the camera, as she's had a number of non-reality TV jobs on telly since shooting to fame in the 90s.
The success of the film has lead on to talks of her new role, with one source telling the "Katie went down a storm with bosses during her appearance on the show last month and producers are looking to make her a regular on the show.
The mum-of-five's CV includes fronting her own documentary with disabled son Harvey about his hunt for a residential college.
She's also appeared on Victoria Derbyshire's show to discuss her campaign for Harvey's Law, and has regularly been interviewed on the news.
Katie is also set to front her own autism-only chat show following the success of her BBC documentary with Harvey.
Other TV gigs include her stint on I'm A Celebrity in 2004, competing in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2005 and starring in her own reality shows.
