Big hits: Every one of Katie Price's novels have been huge sellers and Paradise is no exception
She's a woman who's used to getting what she wants - but Katie Price took divadom to a whole new level when she demanded an entire sunbed salon be cordoned off so she could get a £5 tan.
Glamour model Ms Price decided to top up her fake glow during a short respite from her whistlestop tour of the UK to promote new novel Paradise.
After meeting hundreds of fans and signing copies at Silverdell Books in Kirkham, near Preston, she went to the Lancashire town's Sun Centre last night for some bargain bronzing.
But rather than simply use a lockable cubicle in private, she demanded the whole shop be emptied bar herself and her entourage.
The phenomenon also known as Jordan then arrived at 7.45pm and stayed for 15 minutes. She had a 12-and-a-half minute session on the sunbed during that time, costing her a measly fiver.
Kirkham Sun Centre's day manager, Pauline Brierley, told Mail Online that the ruthless self-made businesswoman had not even left a tip for the staff - despite the fact that no-one else could use the salon's four other tanning units.
Future's bright: Did Katie cover-up because she'd over done it on the sunbed?

She said: "Jordan didn't even talk to anyone. She just came in, used the sunbed, and went. They wouldn't let in anyone else, they wanted the entire shop shut. We even provided her with goggles."
Bizarrely, Ms Price insisted covering her head and torso in a jacket when leaving the centre, despite the fact she'd spent the whole day being photographed to promote her book.
Today, the motivated mum of three managed a Doncaster signing at 1pm, before motoring over to Lincoln for another at 5pm.

The signings are to launch her latest ghost-written novel, Paradise - and arguably the only words she's written in any of her books.
Nevertheless, thousands of fans have turned out to greet her so far, and her book is currently No. 1 in the hardback fiction charts, selling twice as many as its nearest rival.
There had been scenes of pandemonium in Kirkham before Katie hit the sunbed, with security having to hold back the hundreds of screaming fans who'd turned up to meet her, and queues for the signing went around the block.

This time, Katie had ditched the sparkly skimpy swimming costume with her book title emblazoned across it from earlier in the week for a baggy t-shirt and trousers combo.
Today, she was even more dresssed down in a pale grey - but still low-cut - jumpsuit made of sweatshirt material, coupled with strappy sandals.
Tomorrow, she heads east to meet her adoring fans in Norwich at 11am and Lowestoft at 3pm. It remains to be seen whether or not another tanning stop is on her itinerary too...
