Katie Price effigy to be set alight
Model Katie Price has been unveiled as the inspiration for a celebrity guy which will be burnt at the stake at a famous bonfire celebration this weekend.
Wednesday, 04 November 2009
The 27ft-tall firework-filled effigy, complete with a replica of her generous cleavage, will go up in flames in front of more than 10,000 people in Edenbridge, Kent, on Saturday.
Dressed in a pink, low-cut top, the figure also features her wearing white jodhpurs and riding boots in acknowledgement of her passion for horses.
In one hand, she holds copies of OK!, Hello! and The Sun and in the other she grasps by their hair the heads of ex-husband Peter Andre and current flame, cagefighter Alex Reid.
Each year organisers at the Edenbridge Bonfire Society choose a topical, publicly-vilified celebrity figure to torch at the popular event.
Last year Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand were the focus of the fun following their shaming over obscene telephone calls made to Fawlty Towers actor Andrew Sachs.
Previous targets have also included Saddam Hussein, John McCririck, John Prescott, and Diana, Princess of Wales' former partner, James Hewitt.
This year Katie Price, 31, emerged as the only candidate after organisers deemed BNP leader Nick Griffin had already had "too much publicity".
Price, also known as Jordan, recently finalised a high profile split from Australian singer Andre.
