Katie Price's younger sister Sophie has promised to promote a positive message with her new range of swimwear.

The 18-year-old has been approached to design and model her own collection, which will be aimed at teenagers. She hopes that her curvy image will encourage young girls to maintain a healthy figure rather than admiring size zero stars.

"I told the company all my ideas for what I wanted, then they went off and came up with designs," Sophie told the Daily Star. "Next week we're going through them together to see what I like. Of course, when the bikinis and swimsuits get made I'll be modelling them. So keep your eyes peeled!

"But what I really want to do is show teenage girls they don't have to be twigs to look good. I want to set an example and promote a healthy lifestyle. I eat well and I run, go to the gym and swim to keep in shape. It worries me when I see young girls refusing to eat because they're scared of putting on weight."
