Katie Price brought the arrivals terminal at LAX International airport in Los Angeles to a standstill last night as she touched down in America.

The former glamour model was swamped by a crowd of paparazzi following reports back home that she is set to launch a bid to crack the US.

Price, who was wearing a white t-shirt with diamanté heart and skin-tight leggings, struggled to hold a phone conversation amid shouts from photographers.

But she was able to sign an autograph for a lone fan who had become trapped in the surrounding chaos.

As Entertainmentwise reported last week, Price is apparently desperate to launch an acting career stateside, despite criticising the country in her recent reality TV series.

“She really wants to act and there should be no problem in making this happen,” a source said.

"Let's face it - the Yanks do seem to have a passion for booby models with a love of plastic surgery."

However, a spokesperson told the Daily Mail that Price's latest trip to the US was for pleasure rather than business.

The former glamour model has left her children with estranged husband Peter Andre.
