HUNDREDS of fans turned out for a glimpse of glamour girl Katie Price at her book signing in Doncaster.
But the star, who made her name as model Jordan, kept fans waiting, arriving late for her appointment at WH Smith in the Frenchgate Centre.

Fans had started waiting at 4am. By the time Katie was ready, the queue of autograph hunters reached the main doors of the centre.

Katie was here to sign copies of her latest book, Paradise. She said she was enjoying being in Doncaster.

"It is becoming more characteristic of the sort of crowds that come to see me. It used to be young men, but now it is more families and children. I'm really pleased with the turnout," she said.

Despite the 30 minute delay, fans were excited.

Kerry Caulton, aged 34, from Skellow, said she arrived at 8am. The signing was due at 1pm. She said: "I think she's fantastic. She is a fantastic mum and I think she's a great role model for other mums.

"I watch her all the time and have all her books."

Caroline Youhill, 40, from Stainforth, came with her daughter Danielle Youhill, 23, who has Downs Syndrome.

She said she loved Katie Price and was impressed by her work for disabled children. Katie has a disabled son Harvey from a relationship with footballer Dwight Yorke.

Sisters Maria and Kirsty McQuade travelled from Auckley. Maria, aged 29, said: "I watch all her programmes."

Kirsty, aged 19, added: "I think she's just amazing."

Doncaster seems to be the ideal setting for such an occassion! Shame she isn't planning to visit the other chav/tramp centres of populus - Barnsley and the Vale of Dingle, Chezzy and Rotherham! What a marketing opportunity missed!

You have to hand it to her - she's made millions out of - er, well I'm not quite sure, exactly! But you really can't slag off someone who has got up off their backside and gone out and done something, anything, to earn a living. She's well known everywhere - even if her lifestyle isn't what everyone would wish for - and good luck to her. She's NOT on benefits after all. (She'd have been pilloried if she had been, and she's pilloried because she hasn't been). STOP being so jealous, can't you??! If other people think she's great and want to queue from 4am to see her sign a book she hasn't written herself, who are we to judge? They can if they want to.
