I’ve always been known for my love of all things cheesy, from S Club 7 to all manner of teen American dramas I really should have grown out of by the ripe old age of 27. So, it’s not much of a surprise I have become addicted to ‘What Katie did next..’ – the reality TV show following Katie Price – aka Jordan’s – antic after the breakdown of her marriage. But what is a surprise is that it’s not just me! The more people I talk to the more I discover who are hooked on this. And no, we’re not teenagers who aspire to Jordan’s fame, or people who want to look like her. We don’t think she’s a great role model and we don’t aspire to be Page 3 models.
So what is it that drives this curiosity? This need to watch her every move? Some people have said it’s her straightforwardness – the fact she “says it as it is” and doesn’t care what people say. Others say it’s because we’ve seen her hit rock bottom and we see that she doesn’t have it all perfect at all. I have been wracking my brains wondering what it is. Do I secretly like the fact her fairytale dream didn’t work out? or that despite her good looks on a cover, she still looks rough in the morning? or do I like watching her blossoming relationship with the new man? Maybe I’m just nosy to see what life is like when you supposedly have everything you want? Are we obsessed with what we can’t have – with this fairytale existence of money and treats and the supposed perfect life celebrities lead. The logical part of me says no, I don’t want that life. I don’t want to be her. Not in the slightest.
So, god knows what it is. Maybe it’s just a morbid fascination because this woman is so different to anyone we’ve ever seen before. Maybe there’s no logical reason at all. Sod it, I’ll keep watching until I work it out!
