Katie Price has revealed she still dreams of being a paramedic – despite previously quitting her training to become a nurse to pursue a career on Page 3.
The former model has never shied away from chasing her ambitions and has been known to branch out over the years, launching a career as a model, dressage rider and an attempt at becoming a singer.
But she's explained she still hopes to become a paramedic one day after talking about hitting "rock bottom".
Speaking candidly to Nigel Farage on his GB News Talking Pints show, the 44-year-old explained that people rarely get to see the real her.

She said: "I still want to train to be a paramedic, I was training to be a registered nurse before I got into this industry, but I didn't finish it.

"So I am a caring person, I love people but people don't ever get to see that side."
Elsewhere, the star spoke about her drink-driving hell, which saw her flip her car over after driving under the influence of drugs and being banned from driving.
Reflecting on the incident, Katie told the former MEP: "There's no excuse, I'm just thankful that I didn't hurt anyone.

"I did hit rock bottom, I've tried to kill myself, I could not have got any more bottom than I did.
"But I've come up and am sorting myself out, there's more to come from me, and I plan to be bigger and better."
Katie was taken to hospital after being arrested at the scene of the incident near Partridge Gren on September 28, 2021.
A drug wipe gave a positive reading for cocaine and she also tested positive for driving under the influence of alcohol following a roadside breathalyser test.

But following her ordeal, the star has vowed to come back bigger and better than ever and is heading out on a theatre tour and will be selling memorabilia.
Most recently, she was flogging used underwear to fans for an eye-watering £350 with personalised messages.
Sharing the news with her social media followers, Katie said: "So, through the years I have literally bags and bags of underwear, bras, knickers, suspender belts, stockings, you name it, I've got it.

"So, instead of them being in bags, I get requests all the time for signed memorabilia, so this is basically what I'm gonna do.
"If you just want a suspender belt, and then I'll personally sign it to whoever, then you can have bras and knickers or a set so I'm gonna start off with that.
"If there's a request for anything else like books, because I've got loads of my books still, posters, clothes, shoes, anything, I will personally sign it for you."
