Katie Price announces acoustic guitar charity album in honour of terminally ill mother Amy
She has made no qualms about her desire to become a singer, releasing an album and two solo singles over the years.
And Katie Price has announced another comeback to the music scene with plans to record an acoustic guitar album, with proceeds going toward the charity supporting her terminally ill mother Amy.
The former glamour model, 40, said she plans to return to the studio next summer and revealed she hopes chart topper Ed Sheeran will collaborate with her.

Close bond: Katie's mother Amy, 64, was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, a rare condition that causes progressive and irreversible scarring of the lungs last year
In the candid interview with Juice Retreats guru Jason Vale, she said: 'I’m going to bring out another album, purely to make money for the British Lung Foundation, and want to do acoustic versions.'
And showing her desire for Shape of You hitmaker Ed to join her on the album, she added: 'Ed, come on!'
Katie's mother Amy, 64, was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, a rare condition that causes progressive and irreversible scarring of the lungs last year.
She has previously spoken about turning down Katie's offer to donate one of her lungs.

Thinking Out Loud: The former glamour model, 40, said she plans to return to the studio next summer and revealed she hopes chart topper Ed Sheeran will collaborate with her
She said: 'I can’t take one of her lungs, it’s ridiculous. I might not survive the operation for a start, so it’d be a waste of a lung and she needs it.
'She’s got her own family and her children. She’ll be like the figurehead of the family when I go.'
Contracting an innocuous cold could have a fatal outcome for the lung condition she is battling.
Amy said that Katie has now come to terms with things and they've been helping one another through it.
Tuneful: She famously competed for the chance to represent the UK at Eurovision in 2005, with single Not Just Anybody
Here we go: In 2006, she and then-husband Peter Andre released an album of romantic covers called A Whole New World, which charted at number 20 in the UK
She said: 'I think she’s accepted it [my illness] and we support each other really.
‘She's quite soft really, and I think out of all my children she's probably taken it the hardest, because she hasn't really got many good friends.’
Amy said her recent check-ups at the hospital have been positive, despite Katie being told back in April her mother could die within a month.
Reality starlet Katie previous forays into the music world have failed to set the charts alight.

In 2006, she and then-husband Peter Andre released an album of romantic covers called A Whole New World, which charted at number 20 in the UK.
Four years later, shortly after the demise of her marriage to Andre, she returned to the studio with dance pop track Free To Love Again, which flopped at number 60.
And she tried to relaunch her music career yet again in 2017 with new single I Got U.
Katie later said her manager had tried to nip the idea in the bud, saying: 'Nobody’s interested, no one’s backing me. My manager wasn’t interested. He said, ‘You’re wasting your time.’'
She is currently divorcing third husband Kieran Hayler, 31, over his infidelity. The star is now dating 29-year-old personal trainer Kris Boyson.
The star has five children, son Harvey, 16 with footballer Dwight Yorke, son Junior, 13, and daughter Princess, 11, with Peter, and son Jett, five, and daughter Bunny, three with former stripper Kieran.
