Controversy

Following Amy's win, Katie Price and her management failed to materialize a number of promised prizes. [12] She was asked to pay £10,000 to insure her "free" Range Rover for a year, a holiday in The Maldives turned into Marbella and a cover shoot with OK! magazine disappeared. Ms. Willerton eventually refused to sign the modelling contract offered to her by Blacksheep Management, as she'd lost confidence in their ability to deliver on promises made.
