TV personality Katie Price has told how she would be prepared to tie the knot another “40 times ” despite two failed marriages.

The former glamour model, who is plugging her new reality show, said that she was not put off the concept.

She told Radio 5 Live’s Richard Bacon: “It could take me nine times, 20 times, until I find the right one – or 40 actually. I’m not put off marriage.”

The star, who arrived 45 minutes late for the radio interview and missed a planned appearance on TV because she was “stuck in traffic”, said she was putting her relationships with Peter Andre and Alex Reid behind her.

She denied she was dating a friend of boxer Amir Khan and said of her new squeeze Leandro Penna: “We’re just getting to know each other. We get on well. We’ll just see what happens.”

Ms Price said she would like to teach pupils about fame, a subject she knows a lot about, in schools.

She said: “If I could have it my way I would go to schools ... and say it’s not all it’s meant to be.

“The plastic surgery, the fame ... it’s not as glamorous as it looks. I would like to speak to schools to educate people.”
