Signed by Katie Price was one of the first shows to be produced by Price's own production company Pricey Media.

Episodes
Episode 1
Contestants audition for the three judges at their local shopping centers in front of the public. Each contestant had to walk down a catwalk before having their photo taken by a photographer. This image was shown to the judges while they interviewed the contestant. If the judges want to see more of the contestant, they are instructed to change into swimwear or lingerie before walking the catwalk again. Each contestant then received feedback. Only 50 contestants were chosen from the live auditions to attend Bootcamp.
Episode 2
The 50 selected contestants from Episode 1 (Auditions) headed to Bootcamp. They had 48 hours to display their marketability using their personality, creativity and flair.[4] The first task set by Katie Price during the Bootcamp workshop was for the female contestants to remove all makeup and strip down to their underwear. The male contestants had to strip down to black and pink underwear. The judges then chose their top 12 contestants. These were Rehea Watson, Nathan DiCarlo, Tayla-Jay Harris, Melissa Reeves, Susie Whiteley, Billy Harding, Jemma Henley, Jamie Roche, Sarah Meade, Kirsten Van Terheyden, Rylan Clark-Neal and Amy Willerton.
Episode 3
The twelve contestants moved into a luxury house for their first assignment, to participate in an equestrian-themed photo shoot on Katie Price's ranch. The second assignment in the episode was for each contestant to be interviewed for the UK newspaper The Sun. The goal was to learn the art of "No Comment" when dealing with the press.
Nathan DiCarlo and Rehea Watson were eliminated from the competition, leaving 10 contestants.[5]
During the eliminations, a wildcard entry (Ben Sissman) joined the competition, so increasing to 13 contestants.
Episode 4
The final eleven contestants' next assignment was to create the ultimate campaign poster, built around a product with a brief provided by the judges. Tayla-Jay Harris was eliminated after failing to impress the judges, and the wildcard entry (Ben Sissman) left the competition.[6]
Episode 5
The remaining nine contestants were given the next assignment by Katie Price, which was to generate self-publicity through an online video campaign about themselves. To reward the contestants for their efforts, Katie invited them to a party where she watched them as a hidden challenge.[7] Melissa Reeves and Susie Whitely were eliminated from the competition for failing to impress the judges.
Episode 6
The final seven contestants are given the assignment to have a complete makeover. After the makeover, each contestant must have a photo shoot and sell their new image with confidence.[8] Billy Harding and Jemma Henley are eliminated, leaving the remaining contestants to form the final five.
Episode 7
The final five contestants are given their next assignment, which is being secretly judged by a handpicked focus group. Each contestant listens in as they are judged. Each contestant is given a score out of ten by the focus group, after looking at their recent photoshoots and watching their video. The final score will count towards their chances of elimination. The next assignment they are given is to sell themselves to the directors of Blacksheep Management (Danny Infield and Andrew Antonio). Danny Infield is Katie Price's brother who has handled her finances for the last 15 years, and Andrew Antonio has handled her business affairs for the last 9 years. During these challenges, Katie is judging contestants on their ability to promote themselves. Jamie Roche and Sarah Meade are eliminated, leaving Kirsten Van Terheyden, Rylan Clarke and Amy Willerton as the final three.[9]
Episode 8
During Episode 8, the final three contestants have to shoot a campaign. The winner will receive their own perfume, and the campaign photos will be used to promote their upcoming perfume. Once the winner is announced, they will participate in a press launch for the perfume. The second assignment is to participate in a photo shoot that is directed by Katie, and the winner will use the photos for the press after being crowned the winner of Signed by Katie Price. Katie eliminates Kirsten Van Terheyden in a final interview with Katie at her house,[10] leaving Rylan Clark and Amy Willerton as the final two. During a press call, each contestant explains their perfumes and photo shoot for the campaign, and also participates in a Q&A session with the public and press.
During Episode 8 the judges deliberate, and Katie announces the winner as Amy Willerton leaving Rylan Clark-Neal as the runner-up.[11]
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.
