Katie Price worries fans with ‘health update’ after sparking fears over dramatic weight loss

Katie Price posted some worrying snaps online as she shared a major health concern.

Katie’s mum Amy was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in 2017, and went on to have a lung transplant last year. Peter Andre ’s ex recently revealed that while she’d never been a smoker she quickly got drawn in by vapes, and started suspecting something could be wrong with her own lungs.

On Snapchat, 46-year-old Katie shared that she was heading up to London for the day, and soon revealed that she was getting her lungs scanned. The star admitted that she was “nervous” to undergo the tests, but said that it had to be done. She then posted plenty of photos and videos from the medical practice, showing herself going through various exams.

This morning, she updated: “So I thought I’d give an update about yesterday when I went and had my lungs checked. Obviously I had them checked because my mum had a lung transplant, and to see if it’s genetic and to see if vaping has affected my lungs or anything like that.

“But my lungs are absolutely perfect, nothing wrong with them, and he gave me advice how to get off the vapes. So I’m starting to wean myself off the vapes. But yeah it’s all good news, they’re all working well and they’re really good lungs, especially for my age. So all good! I’m all healthy! “

Just after news of her lung check, Katie was spotted at the airport with her boyfriend ahead of a getaway with a twist, joined boyfriend JJ Slater, 31. The couple held hands as she wheeled a pink suitcase around duty free, with Katie showing off her mass of tattoos in a cropped tee and comfy sweatpants.

The loved-up duo is believed to be en-route to Turkey, blasting rumours that they’ve split. The tip isn’t just a holiday, however, with Katie set to have even more cosmetic surgery, just a couple of months after she underwent a dramatic £10,000 face lift.

According to insiders, Katie’s trip to surgery will include a procedure to tweak her ears. A source told Closer UK that she’s on a mission to correct her ‘pixie ears’, a side-effect she blames on a previous face-lift.

“Katie is heading to Turkey in January for her first New Year’s procedure: fixing her pixie ears,” the source said. “She thinks they need correcting after her recent facelift. She’s having her ears removed, then re-stitched in place and pinned back so that they don’t stick out. “

Considering how many major and minor changes Katie has made to her face and body, her pals have reportedly voiced concern that her surgery addiction could be an issue. “Friends think Katie has gone too far. They feel like she’s obsessed and loves the attention – and the money from the pictures – that the surgery brings in,” an insider told the Daily Record.

The person close to Katie’s circle said that her attitude towards surgery was relaxed, rather than seeing the transformations as a life-changing choice. They shared: “It seems to them like she’s locked into a dangerous ugly cycle, but Katie loves being able to reinvent herself and looks at a procedures list like a menu. She wants to try everything. ”

While Katie’s friends are reportedly concerned, Katie herself seems to have suspicions that her attitude towards her appearance isn’t completely healthy. In an interview with Closer late last year after her 17th breast operation, she admitted she might need therapy for her attitude towards cosmetic procedures.

Katie admitted: “I think I need therapy when it comes to surgery. I wouldn’t say I’ve got body dysmorphia, but there’s obviously an underlying something why I feel the need to get surgery, or why I look in the mirror and think, ‘I want to change that, or that’. What you’ve got to remember is that I’m four years away from being 50 so I’m entitled to [do] whatever I want to my face. “

Alongside alarming friends with her need to go under the knife, Katie has also recently sparked concern with her sudden recent weight loss. Due to her ‘frail’ appearance, one source claims that her pals are worried she’s not healthy enough for this Turkey trip.

“She wants to have her ears corrected and her bum lifted with filler, but people who care about her are worried that she’s not healthy or strong enough to be going on an operating table,” they revealed.
