UPDATE: |Katie Price is set to make major career move in acting debut News

The former glamour model is set to be on the screen later this year

Katie Price is set to make a major career change as she’s preparing to make her acting debut later on this year in a film.

Entitled Jackie the Stripper, the film is a modern adaptation of Jack the Ripper, with flashbacks to 19th-century Whitechapel. It’s been written and directed by Michael Head and filmed in south east London, and is described as “an amalgamation of various genres, including comedy, action, horror and even some rom-com scenes”.

The 46-year-old former glamour model will make a cameo appearance in the film, which will also her perform alongside stars Patsy Kensit and Jamie Lomas.

It follows Jackie (Charlotte Kirk) as she leads the fight back against ‘The Court’ – which is a secret organisation once run by Ripper. Jackie and her band of “female assassins” take it upon themselves to disband the court of ‘darkness’.

Charlotte told Southwark News: “On the surface it’s just a bunch of strippers, right? But I love the fact that it’s a bunch of badass female, strong women… taking revenge on disgusting, sleazy men.”

An exact release date for ‘Jackie the Stripper’ is yet to be confirmed, although it is planned to be released in October.

This news comes after Katie was discharged from her second bankruptcy last month, when she owed an unpaid tax bill of over £750,000.

Katie told The Sun newspaper: “I’m so happy. I can finally move on and put these bankruptcies behind me and now only focus on the positive.”

The star expressed her gratitude to everyone involved, as she added: “Thank you to everyone that has supported me through this process.”

Earlier this year, Katie starred in a Channel 4 documentary, Katie Price: Making Babies, which followed her IVF journey.

Katie Price already has three children, two of which (Princess and Junior) she shares with ex-husband Peter Andre. The couple met during the 2004 series of ITV’s I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here.
