Jordan joins list of Edenbridge fireworks effigies

What do Tony Blair, Jonathan Ross and Anne Robinson have in common?

In recent years they have all been the big names burned atop the bonfire at Edenbridge's fireworks night.

And this year they will be joined by another notorious figure - Katie Price, aka Jordan.

A 25-foot effigy of the glamour model will be going up in flames on Saturday, complete with the severed heads of Alex Reid (her boyfriend) and Peter Andre (her ex-husband).

Every year around four thousand people watch a huge celebrity replica filled with fireworks get blown up at the Edenbridge Recreation Ground.

In 2008 Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand were the victims after the public outcry over their phone calls to Fawlty Towers star Andrew Sachs.

But event co-ordinator Charles Laver said no other celebrity has grabbed more headlines this year than Jordan: "We hope she doesn't take offence but we are only doing it for the fun of it."

A spokesman for Katie Price/Jordan said 'When I told Katie about this she took it in great humour. Its been a very tough year for Katie so she is pleased that some humour and fun has been taken out of a year full of twists and turns!'

The Edenbridge Bonfire Night starts at 6.15pm on Saturday, November 7,with a procession through the town centre before moving onto the Recreation Ground.

    Whats the big problem with blowing up Jordan. Its not a malisious thing its just for fun. The organizers of the event are very nice people. I work on the event and have done for a few years now.
    As for Harvey being in hospitsal, we all wish him well. Im sure that Katy Price is not offended and that is not the intention anyway! See it for the joke that it is .

    ashamed of kent

    I don't think this is really appropriate when her son Harvey is in hospital with suspected swine flu and might not recover from it.
    Poor girl can't live. And now people have to resort to this. Why not have Bin Laden on fire? Or someone who really deserves it.
    I am ashamed of this country!! I'm surprised she hasn't had a breakdown!!
