'Promises weren't kept'

Winner of Price's modelling show hits out at star...

The winner of Kate Price's television model search has hit out at the glamour model and her team.

Amy Willerton won Sky LivingÂ’s Signed By Katie Price in December, but claims she has yet to receive any of the prizes promised.

She revealed to the Sunday Mirror that she is still waiting to receive a modelling contract, the use of a Range Rover and a luxury holiday:

"I never expected overnight fame, but I don't believe the promises from Katie or her team were kept. I gave up my job, was encouraged to turn down a place at university and had to put my life on hold."

However, now Price's Blacksheep Management have responded. In a statement they said that Willerton refused to sign the contract offered to her and that a Range Rover had been made available to the winner, but she had been unable to secure insurance for the car.

It added that a five star villa in Marbella had been made available to Willerton but she had turned this down.

The statement read:

“Amy is beautiful and bright and will doubtless have a number of opportunities. However, it was made clear to her that if she wanted to work with us she would need to do so on an exclusive basis and that we would not try to make quick money from her but build her a long and sustainable career.

"The point was not to recreate Kate - which would frankly be impossible - but rather to develop Amy into a long-term brand in her own right.

"Clearly this is not something that will happen overnight and would take considerable time and effort on our behalf... Naturally, with Amy refusing to agree such, it undermined our ability to manage her in the way envisaged. This was Amy's choice."
