Before I ever heard of Katie Price, I had heard of 'Jordan', the party-going Glamour Girl, with the breast Implants who was becoming more well-known by the second. She was notorious, you would constantly see candid shots of her coming out of parties clearly having drunk too much. She was the wild girl the press just couldn't get enough of, and she was about to become hugely successful.

It was suggested that Katie should not use her own name, and someone in the Office at the time suggested 'Jordan' as she was a racing fan and that was where the name originated.. Katie loved it and so a legend was born. She was soon on Page 3 of The Sun, doing the topless shots, and becoming increasingly popular. But it was her breast enlargement that put that to a stop.

It wasn't the end for Jordan though as she went on to pose for Playboy among others.. These days, Katie insists that her alter-ego is not gone.. but that it wouldn't make sense for her to be doing the glamour modelling at this time.

The following is some Jordan trivia you may not know:

◊ Jordan was one of British tabloid The Sun's most popular Page Three girls until readers voted Page Three girls should only be 'natural', no implants. The Sun also ran a readers vote to decide if Jordan should get her second breast implant. They voted no, but she opted for the operation anyway, partly because they had already voted her off the page due to the 'real or fake' vote before.

◊ Jordan appeared in six volumes of Playboy's Book of Lingerie from 1997 to 1999.

◊ Jordan has also appeared on the covers of FHM, Maxim, Nuts, Front, Zoo Weekly, Sky, Esquire, Loaded and Ice magazines.

◊ In 2002, she was shooting a cover to run in Playboy when Hugh Hefner invited her to spend three weeks at his mansion. She appeared at a number of promotional events for the similarly named Jordan Grand Prix Formula One team during this time, during a period when they were heavily promoting themselves to the youth market.

◊ In December 2005 she released the best selling fitness DVD The Jordan Workout featuring 'The Juice Master' Jason Vale.

◊In 2006 the 'Jordan At Asda' jewellery range was launched, as well as a follow-up jewellery deal with Argos.
