She said police had managed to thwart all of the schemes targetting her family, including one in which thugs planned to stop her car by staging a road accident, snatch Harvey and hold him for a £1million ransom.
Katie, 46, spoke in an interview with Paul C. Brunson on his We Need To Talk podcast.
She revealed: “I had three kidnap threats as well. And I couldn’t take my kids to school for three months. I had Scotland Yard do it.
“There was a time where Scotland Yard police formed camped beds outside my bedroom door and outside my property …
“One was a million pound ransom for Harvey, and a car accident was going to be set up.
“They were going to fake being the police and pull me up as ransom and take Harvey and I said to them, if you know all this is happening, why can’t you arrest the people?
“Fortunately, I knew when the group was on my way to the house.
“I was in London, and the police said, ‘Hey, don’t go home. We’re following the gang now from Liverpool.’
“They were on route to my house.”
Katie has previously revealed several different attempts on her family.
Katie Price reveals harrowing ordeal with abusive ex who cut up her clothes
In 2016 Katie took her car to a garage where a mechanic discovered a suspicious device attached to the frame.
It was later found to be an electronic tracking device, and the police were called in.
Two years later, Katie and her eldest children, Junior and Princess, were held at gun-point in South Africa while filming a reality show.
She was filming a reality show when she and the film crew were ambushed driving towards Swaziland from Johannesburg
Katie spent time in a Priory rehab clinic, where she was diagnosed with PTSD after the attack.
She told The Sun in 2018: “The reason I went there was because I got held at gunpoint and sexually assaulted.
“Six men attacked us after we stopped because my son Junior needed a wee.
“We should never have been allowed to make that journey without security.
“It was like something from a horror film. This big man in an adidas hoody was shouting in my face, swearing and demanding I give him everything. And he was touching me down below.
“I grabbed a pillow and launched myself in front of the kids, trying to protect them, waiting for a bullet to hit me. I thought I was going to die. Police said it was a miracle they didn’t kill us.”
In the candid interview Katie went into depth about trauma she’s suffered throughout her life.
She spoke about an abusive ex boyfriend who cut up her clothes.
She also claimed that she’d been cheated on in every relationship she’s had and often felt the women her partners had gone with were worse looking than herself which knocked her confidence.
Taking aim at unnamed past partners, she said: “They’re always jealous, and then I end up being jealous, and then it’s toxic, and then it ends up with gaslighting, narcissist, but that’s all I’ve ever been used to so I’ve never known what a healthy relationship was.”

Domestic abuse – how to get help
DOMESTIC abuse can affect anyone – including men – and does not always involve physical violence.
Here are some signs that you could be in an abusive relationship:
- Emotional abuse – Including being belittled, blamed for the abuse – gaslighting – being isolated from family and friends, having no control over your finances, what you where and who you speak to
- Threats and intimidation – Some partners might threaten to kill or hurt you, destroy your belongings, stalk or harass you
- Physical abuse – This can range from slapping or hitting to being shoved over, choked or bitten.
- Sexual abuse – Being touched in a way you do not want to be touched, hurt during sex, pressured into sex or forced to have sex when you do not consent.
If any of the above apply to you or a friend, you can call these numbers:
Remember, you are not alone.
1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men will experience domestic abuse over the course of their lifetime.
Every 30 seconds the police receive a call for help relating to domestic abuse.
