Katie Price has opened up about her heartbreaking suicide attempt

Katie Price has bravely opened up about her heartbreaking suicide attempt four years ago after admitting: “I just didn’t want to be here anymore.” The former glamour model spoke candidly about the ‘lowest point in her life’ as a guest on Paul C. Brunson’s We Need to Talk podcast.

Katie, 46, who has five children, admitted she was “self-medicating on coke” to “numb things” before she made the devastating decision to take her own life. With tears in her eyes, she said: “I tried to commit suicide and then I woke up. My phone was down the toilet. I had a black eye, Just didn’t want to be here anymore.”

Admitting she would lie to her family about how she was really feeling, she said: “‘Kate are you alright?’ [her family would ask] and I’d be like ‘yeah yeah I’m fine, I’m fine’ and then I’m in bed depressed, didn’t want to get up, didn’t want to have a shower, not me.

“When really when I did get up to go to work, people would be like ‘are you alright?’ and it was like inside I wanted to cry and go ‘no, I’m not’ but I had to put on the face.”

After her suicide attempt, Katie was admitted to The Priory as a general patient where she stayed for five weeks, explaining: “I thought oh my god, I’ve got to do something, this isn’t me.”

Saying her experience in The Priory has made her more understanding of the seriousness of mental health, she explained: “That’s why I don’t judge anyone or when they talk about mental health, because I think it is an actual, real, serious thing.

“You have got to want to do it yourself, by taking accountability of the situation I was in and owning up to how I felt.”

Concluding that she was now “in control” of her life after being ‘dictated to’ and ‘controlled’, she admitted to ‘hurting’ her family, but was now “better”, saying: “You’ve got to take accountability to people you’ve hurt, you know, your family, yes, you’ve got to own it and realise by getting through it, what doors have opened. It’s like the sunshine.

“Look what opportunities you’ve got now. Why? Because your head’s better. I’m not being dictated. I control what I do. No one’s controlling me. I know where I’m at. I’ve just been in control and communicating.”

Thankfully, Katie is now at least free of her financial burdens after admitting the last six years of her life have been “hell”.

The OnlyFans star was declared bankrupt for the second time last year, owing a whopping £750,000, which forced her to downgrade her home and leave the Mucky Mansion.

However, Katie recently revealed that she has cleared her debts as she opened up about ‘learning her lesson’ on a recent episode of The Katie Price Show.

Speaking to her sister, Sophie, she declared, proudly: “I’m not bankrupt anymore! I’m out of it, I’m out of both of them.

“The last six years have been hell – mentally and personally – everything has been hell. I’ve worked so hard to communicate and get rid of what caused all the trouble and I’m out of it.

“It’s such a nice feeling not to be bankrupt anymore. I’m in control of everything now.”

Kilmarnock’s McInnes says deal agreed for Hearts move

  • 13 Comments

Heart of Midlothian and Kilmarnock have agreed a deal to allow Derek McInnes to become the new manager at Tynecastle, the 53-year-old has revealed, although talks are still ongoing before the move can be finalised.

The former Aberdeen manager will take charge of Kilmarnock’s final two games of the season – including Sunday’s visit by Hearts – before formally succeeding Neil Critchley, who was sacked as head coach after just six months.

McInnes has been in charge at Rugby Park since 2022 and last season guided the Ayrshire side into Europe by finishing fourth in the Scottish Premiership.

His managerial career began when he took St Johnstone into the top flight in 2009 and, after a brief stint at Bristol City, he had seven years at Aberdeen, with whom he never finished lower than fourth and won the League Cup in 2014.

The former midfielder left Pittodrie in 2021 and took charge of Kilmarnock the following January, leading them to promotion to the top flight and keeping them in it comfortably since then.

Former Blackpool boss Critchley joined Hearts in October, with the side bottom of the Premiership after a poor start to the season under Steven Naismith, and steered them clear of relegation – but not into the league’s top six.

Ex-England scrum-half Care to retire from rugby

  • 19 Comments

Former England scrum-half Danny Care has announced his retirement from rugby after amassing 101 Test caps and a record 394 appearances for Harlequins.

The 38-year-old, who called time on his international career after last year’s Six Nations, will hang up his boots at the end of the current season.

Care had previously said he wanted to end his club career after the 2025-26 season, a campaign that would have been his 20th at the Stoop.

“So, it’s finally time. Unfortunately, after 19 years of playing for this incredible club, I’m going to be retiring from rugby at the end of the season,” said Care.

He leaves with two Premiership titles to his name, along with the European Challenge Cup success secured via victory over Stade Francais in the 2011 final.

Care, a promising youth footballer, initially played for Leeds Tykes before being signed by Harlequins in 2006.

A 21-year-old Care made his England debut in June 2008, and was one of Quins’ star performers as they beat Leicester Tigers 30-23 in the 2012 Premiership final.

On the international stage, he was part of England’s Grand Slam-winning team of 2016, while also lifting Six Nations titles in 2011 and 2017.

However, he missed the run to the final of the 2019 Rugby World Cup after being left out of the team for nearly three years by then head coach Eddie Jones.
