KATIE Price has vowed to finally name the celebrity who allegedly raped her.
The TV star has long claimed she was attacked by a household name.
Katie, 45, has always masked her attacker’s identity, but thinks times have changed and the Me Too movement has encouraged survivors of sex crimes to speak out.
A source told The Sun: “Katie thinks now is the time, she has nothing to lose.
“After all the me-too stuff she thinks if other people have revealed their sex attackers, why can’t I?
“She vows this will be her most shocking book ever, and she’s ready to name and shame.”

Katie opened up on her ordeal again in an interview with The Guardian.
She said: “A lot of people with status get away with things.
“People cover up for them and a load of people get paid off.”
She added: “When I was in the Priory my therapist said ‘Kate, we’ve never known anyone to have so many traumatic events happen to them.’ And I’m still here, coping.”
The former glamour model, who was declared bankrupt again this year, announced her seventh autobiography on Instagram last month.
Katie’s horrifc sexual assaults
Katie claims to have been raped three times in her life.
She has previously revealed she was seven years old when she suffered the first attack.
In an honest chat with DJ and presenter Annie Mac, she said her life changed following a stint at The Priory which helped her understand the various traumas in her life.
She explained: “My thing that’s always been wrong in my life is men. That is from an early age.
“I was raped as a kid. At seven. That is in my first book. I was in a park.”
Katie said she was also raped by a celebrity – thought to have occurred prior to meeting her ex-husband Peter Andre on I’m A Celebrity in 2004.
Back in 2009, she said about her ordeal after she was asked why it hadn’t been reported: “It happened absolutely years ago and like anyone, it’s just a hard thing to do.
“It’s been done now, what do you do?
“I would say if something happens you should go to the police. It was definitely rape – I didn’t consent to it.”
She was raped for a third time at gunpoint in South Africa when she was carjacked in 2018.
The life-changing attacked happened when she was filming there with kids Junior and Princess and it left them all needing therapy for trauma.
Speaking on Changes with Annie Macmanus, she remembered: “We were out in South Africa with the kids Junior and Princess with ITV. We had no security.
“Junior wanted a wee. We got out the car. And all I remember doing is saying… mum imagine if I jump down here.”
She continued: “Next thing you know a car pulled up, six guys in it, out with their guns.
“They did things to me in front of my kids in the car. They had a gun to my head
“We thought we were going to die.”
