Page 3 star Katie Downes looks unrecognisable after marrying Arctic Monkeys guitarist and quitting glamour modelling
SHE once graced the pages of every lads’ mag and The Sun’s iconic Page 3, but these days Katie Downes leads a very different life.
The 37-year-old is now a married mum of two, who goes by the name of Katie Cook after tying the knot with Arctic Monkeys guitarist Jamie Cook.

Gone is her bright blonde hair as she now sports a very chic cropped bob with fringe.
Her Instagram pictures show she often wears minimal make-up and lets her natural beauty shine through.
Katie, who now raises money for charity, has embraced a bohemian dress sense and can be seen wearing floating dresses in her stunning images.
Katie featured on the covers of Loaded, Maxim, Nuts, and Zoo Weekly during her heyday and in 2008 she was ranked the 11th sexiest in Nuts Hottest Blondes.

The stunning star started dating Jamie in 2006 and they tied the knot in May 2014.
They have a son called Forrest, born in 2015, and a little girl called Bonnie, who they welcomed in 2019.
As well as modelling, Katie appeared in the film Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo – where she plays a window cleaner wearing a wet white T-shirt.
She also had a very brief stint doing reality TV when she appeared in Poor Little Rich Girls, which saw her swap lives with toilet cleaner Michelle McManus (not the one of Pop Idol fame).
Katie said at the time that she was keen to take part so people could see she wasn’t a typical glamour model.
"I don't wear pink clothes, I haven't got my hair dyed bleach blonde and I don't have fake boobs,” she said.
