Former glamour model Katie Price has proudly revealed her recent weight gain following fans' concerns about her health in recent months. In an Instagram post from Tuesday, the mother of five shared a picture of her pedicured feet standing on the scales. She captioned the post, also shared by her husband Lee Andrews: 'Everyone mentioning my weight here you go I'm healthy. 7 stone 12 pounds, I've put on weight.'
Health Scare and Hospital Visits
The 47-year-old has concerned her followers with her slender frame recently, checking into hospital last year after experiencing weight loss. After seeking medical treatment following an accidental stabbing while preparing food in the kitchen, Katie revealed she had been readmitted to hospital in September to investigate her unexplained weight loss. 'I've been up early at the doctors so she could do some bloods – and because my veins are so bad. They had three attempts. They could only fill two tubes up, so I've got to go back in two weeks,' she explained. 'The reason I'm going to the doctors is because I keep losing weight, and I don't know why. So that's that.'
Ongoing Investigations
The investigation continued into January, with the Mucky Mansion reality star stating on an episode of her podcast The Katie Price Show that there is 'obviously something wrong' with her. She insisted she eats everything in sight but still fails to put on weight, and knew she looked 'gaunt'. However, in February, Katie shared a video on social media revealing she had gained weight while in Dubai with Lee, whom she called 'a feeder'. She said: 'I've actually put on half a stone. So it goes to show, that when you're happy…' She also turned to Lee for his input after saying she 'can't stop eating', with the businessman adding: 'You eat a lot.' 'I'm just comfy,' she responded.
Plastic Surgery Journey
The 47-year-old has undergone multiple plastic surgeries over the years at an estimated cost of over £100,000, including six face lifts, 17 breast augmentations, three Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBL), dental work, and a fox eye procedure. She also underwent 'butterfly' lip tweakments in Dubai last month but complained the results looked like a 'cat's bum hole'. In her latest vlog, friend Ben told her she needed to 'pack it in' regarding any more surgery and learn to love herself. Katie replied: 'But that is not exactly surgery, that is fixing a problem.' She also claimed her lips looked 'wonky' and 'like a cat's bum hole'.
Self-Love and Acceptance
Katie went on: 'I do [love myself] I am the best person ever inside, I just don't like what I look like.' The star continues to navigate her health and appearance in the public eye, with fans closely watching her journey.
