Jordan falls short in book signing record attempt

Katie Price has fallen short in her bid to set a new world record for the biggest turnout for a
book signing.

The glamour model was attempting to break the world record of 1,951 books signed in a
single session, which was set by former world chess champion Anatoly Karpov in 2006.
Unfortunately ‘Jordan’ was unable to break the champion’s record during a signing session
at the O2 Academy in Leeds.

A spokeswoman from Katie’s publisher, Random House, said there was ‘a terrific turnout’
of fans who wanted copies of her new book, The Comeback Girl. They did not, however,
reveal how many copies were signed, as it was ‘standard practice’ not to release the
information if a record attempt fails.

Katie said: ‘Wow. That was amazing. What a shame we didn’t quite break the record but
we were close. Thanks so much to everyone who came along to support me. It’s been a
really brilliant day and I loved every minute. My fans really are the best and it was great so
many of them came out to try and help me do this. Woohoo. The Comeback Girl is already
at number one.’

Liz Smith, Records Manager at Guinness World Records, said the reality star had
shown ‘real passion and determination’ in her attempt.

She added: ‘Unfortunately on this occasion Katie did not successfully achieve a new
record, but we hope to welcome her for another record attempt in the future.’

Price, who was recently snapped in London filming for her new Sky Living modelling show,
said her latest book was set ‘around the celebrity world’.

She described the plot as: ‘A singer who has fame then falls and has men who do kiss
and tells on her then she gets a job on an X Factor type show, then she becomes famous
again and meets men again but it is a happy ending.’
