Education Quote by Katie Price

"I didn't fancy any of my teachers"

About this Quote

Katie Price offers a disarming, almost prim sentence: "I didn't fancy any of my teachers". Coming from a figure packaged for years as the embodiment of tabloid sexuality, the statement lands as a quiet refusal to play along with a stock fantasy. British slang makes the point plain: to fancy someone is to feel attraction. The media often invites celebrities, especially women, to drop titillating nuggets about school crushes. Price gives them nothing, and that nothing is telling.

The remark separates the schoolgirl from the glamour icon, drawing a boundary between adolescent life and the adult persona the press helped manufacture. It resists the well-worn trope that casts classrooms as incubators for illicit desire, a trope that flatters the public imagination while flattening the realities of power dynamics. By saying she felt no such pull, she normalizes the mundane truth that many teenagers simply see teachers as authority figures or as background to more urgent concerns: friends, identity, and future plans.

There is also an element of narrative control. Price has long built her brand on candor, but candor does not require confessional bait. The statement is frank without being salacious, a reminder that sexual autonomy includes the right to say no not only to people but to storylines. It subtly redirects attention from the search for scandal to the broader arc of her trajectory: a young woman who left school and pursued modeling, then broadened her career into television and business.

Underneath the simplicity is a critique of how the public consumes female celebrity. Audiences expect omnipresent sexuality from women like Price, even retroactively applied to their childhoods. She shrugs that off with a single sentence. Its modesty becomes a form of self-definition, challenging assumptions about desire, resisting the fetish of the student-teacher dynamic, and insisting that a hyper-visible public image does not retroactively rewrite an ordinary adolescence.
