Katie Price hits out over ‘skinny’ backlash after sparking fears over drastic weight loss

KATIE Price has addressed her drastic weight loss after fans were left concerned for the star.

The former glamour model, 46, has been bombarded with messages from fans fearing for her new, slimmer figure.

Some believed Katie had begun taking popular Ozempic injections or an equivalent in order to shed weight.

But Katie has revealed the "real reason" behind her weight loss, as she attributed it to a change in diet and a more active lifestyle - after gaining weight on IVF and being inactive after breaking her foot in 2020.

On the latest episode of The Katie Price Show podcast, she said: "My go to breakfast is two boiled eggs and soldiers."

Katie continued: "I've noticed, because everyone has said I've got skinny now."

Her sister Sophie Price said: "You've got well thin," as Katie elaborated: "There's a reason, if anyone Google me, I've always been skinny.

"When I broke my feet, I was in a wheelchair, before that I was running all the time.

"Then I've gone through IVF three times and that pumps you and puts weight on - I haven't done anything."

She explained that she's cut out foods that cause bloating, saying: "And now I've realised when I was eating pasta, oats, it bloats me.

"So I can't have the porridge and if I have them protein drinks, even if it's lactose intolerant, I bloat.

"So I've been avoiding stuff like that and not feeling so sluggish and tired after.

"So there you go, that's my go to breakfast."

This is not the first time Katie has addressed her changing figure in recent months.

The star said she has simply 'shrunk back' to her natural size.

Appearing on Disruptors podcast, host Rob Moore grilled her on her weight loss, and she denied taking so-called 'skinny jabs' in order to get down to a smaller size.

"So people have said I've lost loads of weight," she said, to which Rob notes she has, but she explained: "Now there's a programme coming out in January, my IVF journey.

"Anyone you know who's had IVF, you put on weight. I had three IVFs the past 15 months. They all failed," she started.

"It started from when I broke my feet. They said I'd never run again. So I couldn't run, wasn't exercising, couldn't ride my horses, so basically, I was in a wheelchair for 10 months.

"They said I couldn't walk again, this all happened around COVID time, so obviously you're going to put on weight because you're not moving about."

"Then I had to learn to walk again, but slowly, I still can't run now, because I've got screws in my feet," Katie continued. "Then I did IVF, pumped all my stuff, and it takes ages for it to get back out your body.

"But I say to people, if you look at old pictures of me, even after I've had babies, I just shrink back. I've always been tiny, and I think because the past sort of three years, I've been bigger, but they're the reasons why, right?

"Now I've gone like back, now the IVF that's all come out, and I'm more active because I could do more because of my feet, and I'm horse riding again, then naturally, i'm going back athletic again."

When Rob circled back to ask her to confirm never taking Ozempic, she confirmed: "No, but Harvey's going on that. So I've had to sit there with the doctors."

"I think when it comes to things like that, I think because of Harvey and all the medication and that he has, I think people have to be really careful with things like that," she said.

"I don't need the Ozempic. I never have done. I've always been skinny. Look at old pictures of me. Always been tiny."

Earlier this month, Katie showed off her slimmer frame in a burgundy co-ord.

Katie also worried fans when she displayed her small waist in bright pink leggings and some fluffy pink heels.

Fans were quick to share their concern.

One commented: "Katie looks really unhealthy."

Another said: "Katie is clearly not well. Hope she gets help soon as she’s looking skinnier everytime a video gets posted.. so sad."

And a third added: "She's clearly struggling."
