Katie Price has revealed she was raped more than once when she was younger.

The former glamour model said she had decided to speak out about the incident after reports claimed boyfriend Alex Reid was to star in a film that involved a rape scene.

In her weekly column for OK! magazine, Price said she was “appalled” by the reports, which she said were “completely untrue”.

“Rape is a subject very close to my own heart. I was raped when I was younger, more than once,” she wrote.

“Needless to say, I’d never be associated with anything or anyone so sick.”

Price added: “I’ve never talked about this before, but I feel I have to now because I was so hurt by these accusations that I would not take a subject, which affects so many women, seriously.

“Someone who was close to Alex was also raped and he is as horrified as I am by these claims.

“I urge any woman who has been affected by rape and needs help to talk to somebody they trust about it.”

Price began dating Reid in July following her split from estranged husband Peter Andre.

In a recent interview, the cage fighter revealed that he was in love with the former glamour model.
