KATIE Price has been forced to slash prices on her new book This Is Me after a drop in the charts and a surge of bad reviews.
While the book debuted as a Sunday Times No.1 bestseller, sales have dwinled since and it has currently plummeted to 1400th place on the amazon book sales charts.
As a result, the online retailer has slashed the price of the tell-all book by a whopping 25 percent.
That means the hardcover version of Katie’s latest read is now selling for £16.49, down from the original RRP of £22.
In the autobiography the 46-year-old detailed the highs and lows of her life and past loves including her volatile relationship with ex Carl Woods.
The newest tome about the former glamour models tempestuous life was only published four weeks ago and became an instant bestseller.
Back in April Katie made an announcement about the book on Instagram, she said: “This book just tops all others for so many years I’ve hid behind what I’ve learnt, the mask, because that’s my way of dealing with things.
“It gets to a point where it becomes noise. I had a breakdown, the worst thing ever. Now I’ve learnt not to be afraid.
“In this book people will get to see really what it’s like to be me.
“There will be uplifting moments and there will be dark moments where I can put the truth right in a lot of things.”
Her publishers also leaned into the idea that the book would be an ‘explosive’ chronicle, they said: “For the first time, Katie will reflect on her journey through therapy, PTSD, trauma and the trials of living her life in the media spotlight.
“It’s a true tale of survival during a career that has seen her become a household name – sometimes for all the wrong reasons.
“But though this is Katie in her most reflective book to date, it’s also punctuated with the very real drama she’s been dealing with in her life at the moment.”
This heightened the anticipation for excited fans so much so that the book reached the top spot on Amazon’s ‘Movers and Shakers’ chart in the UK before it’s release.
But since it’s release readers have given the book 3.2 out of 5 in the review section of Amazon with many complaining the work did not live up to its hype.
One reader wrote: “I am a big KP fan and had pre-ordered this book. Very disappointed. I found myself skipping over chapters. No detail and not like her previous autobiographies.

2024-present: After weeks of rumours, Katie confirmed her relationship with Married At First Sight star JJ Slater in February this year.
I went to her show and she marketed it by saying it would blow your socks off the things she was disclosing. I found nothing like that.
“It’s her choice what she tells us but it was marketed completely differently to what was produced. More like a reflective piece of writing, sort of a dear diary.”
Another fan added: “I’d start by saying I’m a KP fan, I’ve read every autobiography she has done. I was really looking forward to hearing about lots of things the press have speculated on, that she would ‘put right’.
“That’s not the case. The book skips over major events with little to no detail. “
And a third person penned: “I think she is one strong woman and has always been brutally honest and forthcoming. I loved all her previous biographies but this one falls very short.
“This book instead glosses over her life. I’m not sure if that is because she is censored. I felt it wasn’t worth the money and doesn’t measure up to her previous books. This is definitely no explosive read.”
