Katie Price fans have expressed concern for the former glamour model, who recently got candid about her surgeries during an episode of The Louis Theroux Podcast.
The TV personality is known for her love of plastic surgery, having undergone 17 breast augmentations, eyelifts, a nose job as well as various other 'tweakments'. And although she gives off an air of confidence, Katie has admitted that her obsession with such procedures could stem from a heartbreaking insecurity.
Speaking with documentary maker Louis, in an episode filmed back in June, mum-of-five Katie reflected that she has gone "too far at times". "Sometimes in the past, I have looked in the mirror and thought: ‘OK, you’ve gone too far, just get it back out.’ So I can recognise when it’s too much but I don’t know, that’s another thing that I have to get to grasp with myself about the surgery thing."
She admitted: "I don’t know what it is, I think deep down there is something. I always said I haven’t got body dysmorphia but there's definitely something."

Katie shared: "Even before I was a model, I always wanted my boobs done, always. And then when I was 18, I had them done so I've always liked that look but I've never looked in the mirror and thought: 'Oh, I'm pretty'."
Describing her pre-surgery self as 'disgusting', 'awful', and 'rough', Katie revealed: "When people show me old pictures, I'm like: 'Oof'." Last month, Katie declared 'the Pricey was finally happy now' after revealing the results of her summer facelift, with the OnlyFans star having gone under the knife in Turkey.

This week, Katie was swamped with worried comments from followers after she uploaded a clip of herself clad in a red shirt with leopard print trim, with her tattooed legs on show. A number of users thought she looked 'unwell', which one person commenting: "I didn’t want to post negativity, but actually concerned she looks unwell." Another wrote: "What's happened to her legs?" Sharing a broken-hearted emoji, a third person fretted: "Oh Katie, this breaks my heart. Where are the people meant to be looking out for her?"

Back in August, Katie's former plastic surgeon Dr Jeya Prakash, who gave Katie her first two boob jobs back when she was still known as Jordan, spoke with the Mirror of his fears over his former patient's plastic surgery addiction.

The second one I did when she was 65, then when she was 80 - three months ago. She is fit and healthy. The health of the patient is the most important thing. Ideally, a patient would spread out their lifts 15 years apart to give their body the chance to recover and heal."
The medic, who turned Katie away from his office in 2022 after she asked for a facelift, added: "Katie is addicted to having so many surgeries, but I am not blaming her. I am blaming the surgeons that keep on doing it."
