A Daily Mail Entertainment YouTube documentary says Katie Price arranged for paparazzi to wait for her while she was admitted to a rehabilitation clinic in 2019 and again after a 2021 car crash.
In the programme, titled "How Princess Andre’s New Reality Show Reignited a Family Feud," Mail columnist Katie Hind said it was common for celebrities to organise photographers to capture and sell staged images and that Price had a track record of doing so. Hind said such arrangements often involve the celebrity knowing when pictures will be taken and receiving a share of the proceeds when the images are sold to media outlets.
Hind told viewers that "at times, paps are told by the person they are taking pictures of where they are going to be, when and to take the pictures," adding that "in that instance, it's very usual that the celebrity takes a cut of the profits that those pictures take from whatever media organisation they are sold to." She said celebrities are typically aware of publication timing because they are part of the set-up.
According to the documentary, Price arranged for photographers to be outside The Priory, the rehabilitation clinic where she was being treated for depression in 2019, and again after a drink-driving crash in 2021 when she was recovering from post-traumatic stress disorder. The programme links these incidents to the ongoing public feud between Price and her ex-husband, Peter Andre, which it says was reignited by the new reality show featuring their daughter.
The documentary purports to offer "a rare insight" into the dispute between Price and Andre and to examine how family dynamics and media attention have intersected in recent years. It presents Hind's account as part of a broader narrative about manufactured celebrity images and the commercial incentives that can drive staged encounters with photographers.
Price has had a long public history of media scrutiny, including widely reported mental health struggles and legal incidents. The documentary frames the alleged arrangements with photographers within that history, noting the potential financial motive for staged images and the role such images can play in sustaining public profiles.
The claims in the programme are sourced to Katie Hind and the Daily Mail Entertainment production. The documentary is available on the outlet's YouTube channel. The article and film do not present on-the-record confirmation from independent witnesses of the specific instances described, and no response from Katie Price or her representatives was included in the programme's coverage.
