JordanKatie Price has said she was described her exclusion from the Cartier International Polo event last weekend as “pure snobbery”.

The glamour model, also known as Jordan, was refused entry to both the VIP enclosure and the Chinawhite marquee at the prestigious polo event last Sunday even though she’s been a lifelong horse-lover and is learning to play the sport - and fellow flesh-flashing celebrities Kelly Brook, Dita Von Teese and Caprice were invited along.

Writing on The Times’ comment pages today, she explained: “I didn’t want to go to Windsor to meet royalty. I’ve met the Prince of Wales and the Queen before. I don’t need to be photographed with the A-list, I’ve met quite enough celebrities. I wanted to watch the matches and give my family a treat.

“It’s pure snobbery. However good a horsewoman I may be, I’m also a glamour model. That embarrassed the organisers.

“Eliza Doolittle went to the races with Henry Higgins after a few elocution lessons. In Pretty Woman, Julia Roberts went to the polo straight from Sunset Boulevard, but in the 21st century, we have become even more class ridden.

“Unless you are a toff or an aspiring actress, they don’t want you. Polo should be for people who love horses, not a media charade.

“I know more about fetlocks and forelocks than most of the celebrities invited by Cartier and the Chinawhite nightclub. I’ve certainly mucked out more horses.”

A spokesperson for Chinawhite, a London club frequented by Katie many times during her partying phase, insists the ban was just a misunderstanding because Katie tried to book the table so late. Sources close to the club however claim it’s trying to lose its “chavvy”, D-list celebrity image and become more exclusive.
