Katie Price signed some 90 copies of her new book, Make My Wish Come True, at WH Smith in Week Street, Maidstone

Model turned author Katie Price made fans' dreams come true in Maidstone this afternoon.

The mum-of-five who can count model, fashion designer, TV presenter and author among her talents, was at WH Smith in Week Street to sign copies of her latest book, Make My Wish Come True.

And for many fans who queued for half an hour to see the star, she made their day too.

Dressed in a sparkly black and white rugby shirt, a black leather skirt and high heeled black patent boots, she signed dozens of copies of the book bought at the store.

Among those to get their copies signed was Sandra Savage, from Cranbrook, who was there with her daughter Maxine.

Sandra had her copy signed with "Happy Birthday" as her birthday is a few weeks away.

A fan for more than 10 years, she said: "It was amazing. I've liked her right from the beginning, but I'd never met her before. I didn't know what to say though, I went all stupid."

Mike Perry of Leeds village also brought an oil painting he had done of Ms Price some years ago, which he thought she would like to have. "I saw this and just thought I'd give to her. I don't mind what she does with it."

Super fans Paige Tomlinson, 21, and Craig Capp, 22, travelled from Bournemouth and Scunthorpe to see her, bringing with them presents for her new baby, Bunny, born just two months ago.

Paige said: "She is such an inspiring person. I love how she is."

Craig is so devoted, he has her autograph tattooed on his foot. The pair have travelled around the country meeting her over the last few years, but going to the Maidstone store was the first time they had met eachother.
