Katie Price could be set for yet another image change with the former glamour model said to be working on a ‘wish list’ of procedures for the new year

Katie Price has admitted being addicted to surgery, and now a source tells NEW she’s got a wish-list of procedures in the run-up to Christmas. “She’ll have more surgery as soon as she can,” the insider says.
“As soon as she finishes one thing, she’s looking for the next. It’s like a conveyer belt. She has a list of what she wants, because she’s never happy.”
The source adds: “Katie sees surgery as a gift to herself. It’s a buzz, like a drug, but she can’t stop. She doesn’t give herself long to recover before she’s back out having more anaesthetic and more procedures.”
With just six weeks until Christmas, the mum-of-five could be under the knife again very soon – and our insider says she’s already planning a raft of procedures for 2026. Top of her wish-list is corrective work on her lips.

Katie, 47, unveiled new fillers back in the summer, but had them dissolved earlier this month, saying in a TikTok video: “This is what I want because I can start fresh.”
Though it dramatically reduced the size of her pout, the source said: “She’s not happy with the scarring around her mouth. She feels it’s very obvious and doesn’t look right.”
After regular trips to surgeons in Turkey and Belgium, Katie is now thought to be contemplating a visit to South Korea, where V-line jaw reduction is all the rage. It involves reshaping the face to make it slimmer and more defined, while reducing the prominence of the chin.
“She has talked about it, and there’s a possibility she might go to South Korea where they’re doing more advanced surgeries,” continues the source. “She wants jaw shaving, and she’s got sagging skin at the bottom of her cheeks from losing a lot of weight, which is another thing she wants. And possibly she wants her nose done again because I don’t think she’s happy with that either.”
Other kinds of ‘tweakments’ taking off in countries like South Korea include limb lengthening, which involves surgically breaking and then extending the leg bones. Elsewhere, a new kind of breast implant called Motiva is gaining popularity too, offering a smoother surface and special silicone gel that mimics natural breast movement, while also being safer for patients.
“Anything that is hi-tech, new or revolutionary, Katie will want,” said the insider. “It wouldn’t surprise me if she has her other breast implants taken out, and different ones put back in. She scours Instagram, looking at people and what they’ve had done. She’s always searching for the next thing.”
Also on Katie’s wish-list is more work to follow up the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) she had earlier this year. The procedure involves injecting filler into the buttocks to enhance their shape and make them rounder, and our source reveals, “I don’t think she likes the way her bum looks, even though she had it done. She treats her body like a car that has constant repairs and topping up.”
In May, she livestreamed herself on TikTok having 500ml of BBL filler injections, saying: “I’ve just had Endo laser and filler, I’m having it put in my bum. It will dissolve over time, but it can last up to two years.” She had two surgeons working on her with 50 needles of the filler, and she added to camera, “Teamwork makes the dream work.”
Katie’s surgical compulsion is said to be of increasing alarm to her family, with her eldest daughter Princess, 18, believed to be especially worried. Both she and her brother Junior, 20, are said to have begged their mum to stop going under the knife, but so far their pleas have had no impact. “Family members are very concerned,” adds our source. “They think she’s not well enough to have more surgery. And you’ve got to look at the surgeons doing this too. They should be saying, ‘That’s enough.’”
In the summer, Katie flew to Turkey with boyfriend JJ Slater, 32, to have her sixth facelift. Photos of her taken during the trip showed her face looking swollen and painful, while blood appeared to be oozing from her stitches. In 2024, she had what was thought to be her 17th boob job, and over the years she has had full body liposuction, brow and ‘fox eye’ lifts, tummy tucks and rhinoplasty. “I will never stop with this surgery,” she once said. “I want to be a Bratz doll. It’s my body and I do what I want to do. That’s how it should be, your body, your choice. The difference is I talk about it.”
Katie’s tiny frame is also a concern, and in September, she revealed she had been to see her GP over her shrinking size, saying, “The reason I’m going to the doctors is because I keep losing weight and I don’t know why. So that’s that.”
In May this year, Katie took part in a TikTok live, when a fan asked why she kept having surgery. She replied, “I think surgery stems from something from when I was younger, and me feeling I’m not validated or good enough. It must have started from there. But to be honest, I quite like having the surgery – it makes me look fresh.”

With no sign of her quitting her habit, it seems further anxious times lie ahead for her loved ones. “She’ll keep going until she feels she looks perfect,” says our source. “But even then she probably won’t stop.”

Alan Titchmarsh has been open about his admiration for his mother and their final moments together during which they said their last goodbyes to each other

Alan Titchmarsh wrote about his final heartbreaking conversation between himself and his mother. Alan, 76, wrote in his book ‘Knave of Spades’ about his final interaction between him and his mother Bessie and how it was a moment in which they both opened up to each other.
Speaking about the beginning of the moment, he said: “From above the sheets only her head and her right hand were visible.
“Her hair was still dark, even at 78, though she had never in her life coloured. Hair dye would be for ‘that dame’. After an hour or so I got up to go and she opened her eyes. ‘You going?’”
Alan said that he replied: “‘Yes. Will you be alright?’.” The Gardeners’ World presenter went onto explain that historically members of his family had never been fully open about their feelings, but that during his interaction with his mother something changed.
He explained: “She nodded. We had never, as a family been especially outspoken in our sentiments. We kissed and hugged every time we met, but we never said anything.
“You just didn’t do that in Yorkshire. Not back in the 50s and 60s. But now it didn’t seem to matter any more. I squeezed her hand and told her that I loved her very much.
“She squeezed it back, with as much strength as she had. ‘Not as much as I love you’, she said. I kissed her forehead and got up to go.
“At the end of the hospital ward I turned round and looked back at her. She slowly waved her fingers above the sheets, and winked at me. It was the last time I saw her. Two days later she died peacefully in her sleep.”
Alan added that with the money his mother left him he bought a summerhouse. In it he said he added a little tribute to his mother. He said: “I had a plaque made for the back wall of the summerhouse, which is open on three sides, just as she would have wanted.”
This isn’t the first time Alan has talked about his family. On James O’Brien’s Full Disclosure podcast in July 2023 he talked about how much he disliked being away from his family and the heartbreaking question his daughters would ask him.
He said: “It’s not something I wanted but it was at a time in my career where I knew it had to be done. The girls would be sort of 10,11 that kind of age.
“I would go away on a Sunday evening and come back later in the weekend. I do remember the heartbreaking thing of kissing one of them goodnight and them saying ‘will you be here in the morning?’
“I knew I wouldn’t and that was really hard of course. I did say, I mean every weekend, it’s not as if I’m in the army going away for three months or a year or whatever, so that was my excuse.”
Shortly before he joined I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, Jack Osbourne was caught up in a feud with a huge rock star who had some harsh words to say about Ozzy Osbourne’s death

I’m A Celebrity’s Jack Osbourne was recently feuding with a very famous rock star, after the musician had some harsh words to say about Jack’s dad Ozzy following his death.
The Black Sabbath frontman died in July this year, and his death hit his family very hard. Following his father’s death, Jack took to Instagram to share his feelings: “My heart has hurt too much. I’m gonna keep this short because he certainly hated long rambling speeches. He was so many things to so many people, but I was so lucky and blessed to be apart of a very small group that got to call him ‘Dad’.”

But not everyone was grieving Ozzy’s death. Pink Floyd bassist Roger Waters told the press that he “never did” care about Black Sabbath and “couldn’t give a f***” about Ozzy Osbourne.
Talking to The Independent Ink, he said: “Ozzy Osbourne, who just died, bless him in his whatever state that he was in his whole life. We’ll never know. The music, I have no idea. I couldn’t give a f***.”
Waters added: “I don’t care about Black Sabbath, I never did. Have no interest in biting the heads of chickens or whatever they do. I couldn’t care less, you know.”
This sparked a feud between the bassist and Jack, with the latter sending his retort via social media. In an Instagram story, Jack wrote: “Hey Roger Waters, f*** you.
“How pathetic and out of touch you’ve become. The only way you seem to get attention these days is by vomiting out b******* in the press. My father always thought you were a c***. Thanks for proving him right.” He ended his words with the hashtag: “#f***rogerwaters”
Ozzy Osbourne died aged 76 after suffering from a heart attack. He had previously praised Pink Floyd, telling Rolling Stone in 2004 that Money was one of his favourite songs.

Jack has not interacted with Roger since slamming him on Instagram. The podcaster is on this year’s series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here.
He has joined the show alongside some huge names, including Martin Kemp, Lisa Riley and Kelly Brook. Jack is rumoured to be the second highest paid campmate on the show, banking a reported £200k.

Amy Childs has taken to social media with a health update after fans were concerned by her dramatic weight loss. The star recently lost two stone and has urged fans not to be negative online.

She opened up about comments she’d been receiving recently about her weight and told fans that she’s spent the past few months “focusing on my nutrition”.
“For the past few months I have been really focusing on my nutriton with @jon_jkphysique,” she wrote, referencing Jon Kirk, a health coach. “I have been really honest with you all, after losing a lot of weight, I realised I needed to understand how to eat the right way and to eat the right foods.
“It’s been tough but I have started to gain healthy weight back( a little way to go) but I have been going gym, focusing on weight training and working on being more toned.”
She added that she had also been having body treatments at an aesthetics clinic that specialises in non-surgical treatments. “I have also been having my weekly body treatments @3daestheticsuk (will be doing another reel soon) about this treatment.”
Finally, she urged fans not to be negative in her comments section: “This is not an over night thing and it’s taking time but a journey to be my best self for the family. So please no negative comments please…”
Fans paid attention and filled the comments with positive words. One wrote: “Well done lovely, getting strong.” Another said: “So proud of you Amy, you look stunning.” A third added: “Keep going Amy you are doing amazing. I dropped to 4st after being unable to eat for a year and had to have a feeding tube for 6 months. It took me 2 years to get to 7st. You got this.”
In September, Amy had a tummy-tightening treatment. She shared a video of herself on Instagram and told fans that she was on a “journey to feel my most confident self”. The 35-year-old said having four children and dealing with stress put her body through a lot.
Amy has four children in total and shares two, twins, with her partner Billy Delbosq, who she started dating in 2021. The pair are engaged and had to move their wedding date to next year.
They were supposed to be married this year, but had to cancel the wedding. In September, she wrote on Instagram: “Today would have been our wedding day, woke up feeling very sad and upset. After having a very tough few months we had to make the decision to cancel our dream wedding, we planned, we visited our dream venue, we was so excited. BUT i know that 2026 is our year and I can’t wait to Marry you @billydelbosq8. I’m so excited to get planning.. eeekkk.”
