What you see above you is a ‘shock fusion portrait‘ of glamour model Katie Price (aka ‘Jordan) blurred with Moors Murderer Myra Hindley.  Pretty harsh, no?  But the artist who put this together, Kevin Sharkey, said far from it being an insult to Ms Price, he’s actually trying to help her in highlighting the ridiculousness of the general public’s backlash against her.

“I got the idea for this piece when I read a newspaper headline that shocked me,” said Sharkey.  “The article described Katie as ‘The most hated woman in Britain’.

“I couldn’t believe that people could really feel that strongly about her when there’s so much evil in the world.

“When I think of ‘hated’ women, the first person who comes to mind is the Moors Murderer Myra Hindley.”
