Katrina Amy Alexandria Alexis André (Price, previously Infield; born 22 May 1978), also known as Jordan, is a former English glamour model, television personality and businesswoman. Her personal life is regularly featured in British tabloids and celebrity-based magazines.

Born Katrina Amy Alexandria Alexis Infield in Brighton, England, where she was raised. Her maternal grandmother is Jewish. She took the surname Price after her mother remarried following the split from her biological father when she was a child. Price has an older brother named Daniel and a younger half sister, Sophie Price. She also attended secondary school at Patcham High School which she later revisited for a TV show called "With a Little Help from My Friends".

Her decision to start modelling came after a friend suggested she have some professional photographs/movies done. The pictures were sent to a modelling agency in London, and to her surprise, the agency invited her into their studios for a photo shoot and to discuss a contract. She began appearing on 'Page 3' of the The Sun newspaper (topless modelling) It was at this time that she assumed the name "Jordan" because posing for Page 3 can be detrimental to future modelling work. The name Jordan was coined by someone in the office of her manager.

Although with frequent appearances on Page 3 and in men's lifestyle magazines, Jordan was insecure about the size of her breasts, believing that breast implants would make her look better. Despite protests from friends and family, Jordan underwent the operation, increasing her cup size from a B to a D.

During the 7 June 2001, British General Election, Jordan ran as a candidate in Stretford and Urmston under her real name using the slogan: 'For a Bigger and Betta Future'. As part of her election campaign, which was intended to bring a little fun into a dull election, she promised free breast implants, more nudist beaches, and a ban on parking tickets. In the end, Jordan won 713 votes, 1.8% of the votes cast.

As her career began to blossom, Jordan embarked on several brief relationships with celebrities and sports stars including footballers Teddy Sheringham, Dwight Yorke, singer Gareth Gates, and the TV Gladiator 'Ace' (real name Warren Furman). Jordan had a much publicised relationship with Dane Bowers of the boy band Another Level. She had an abortion after discovering he had cheated on her.

On 27 May 2002, she gave birth in Brighton to her first son. The child's father is the Sunderland footballer Dwight Yorke, the relationship ended soon after the child was born. Jordan has said she had intended to have at least one birth shown live over the Internet, but changed her mind later and decided to keep it private. Her son Harvey was induced as he was two weeks overdueHe was found to be blind, having a condition known as septo-optic dysplasia, meaning that his optic nerve was unpredictable. As he has matured, she has also discovered that he is on the autistic spectrum, gains weight easily, and finds walking difficult.
