Katie Price’s looks have been long discussed but recent photos of her sparked concern for her health as she looked ‘gaunt’.

The reality star was braving the rain on a day out with her daughter, Princess, when a photographer snapped the pair.

Sheltered under a bright yellow Moschino umbrella, the pair wore coordinating leggings and jackets, with matching Louis Vuitton bags.

Princess was smiling despite the weather, but fans quickly pointed out how ‘thin’ Katie, 47, looked.

The Mucky Mansion star has now addressed her health on her podcast with her sister, Sophie, revealing she’s planning to go to the doctors.

‘Shall we have a little chat about those pictures with you and Princess at Selfridges because that seems to be doing the rounds everywhere at the minute,’ Sophie asked.

The former glamour model, dressed casually in a grey hoodie and matching sweatpants, was accompanied by a male pal during the outing. Price also showed off her ?kissable? new lips, revealing she plans to undergo two more cosmetic procedures following her recent split from JJ, adding to her long list of transformations.

Katie replied: ‘First of all, we didn’t see a photographer, it was p**sing down with rain, and we were running to the train. When I saw them pictures, I was horrified. They’ve doctored them pictures.

‘My face don’t look bad like that. I know I look gaunt, but Jesus. But yeah, I look like I’m ill – hence why I’m going to the doctors tomorrow.

‘I don’t know how many times I have to say to people, “Yes, I know I’ve lost weight,” and there’s obviously a reason I said it to the doctor.’

Sophie prompted her sister for the ‘actual truth’, mentioning the fact that sources within the family have reportedly spoken to the press.

Katie confirmed that she had booked in for blood tests after being unable to gain weight but promised she was looking after herself.

‘I know what you [and] family say to me, and it’s not what the papers are saying,’ she continued. ‘We all know that we’re trying to sort it all out and as soon as I know then I’ll let everyone know.

‘But because I look so bad, it’s had an influence and I’ve had filler put in my face, which I didn’t want to do.’

She said she thinks her face looks better with the filler but is waiting for the swelling to go down.

Defeated, the former I’m A Celeb star added she just ‘wants put on weight’, and despite eating ‘everything she wants’, it’s just not happening.

EXCLUSIVE: ** PREMIUM EXCLUSIVE ** MUST CALL FOR PRICING BEFORE USAGE ** ** WEB EMBARGO STRICTLY NO ONLINE USE BEFORE 12:50PM UK TIME ON 15/01/2026 ** An unrecognisable Katie Price breaks her New Year?s resolution to quit vaping in less than two weeks as she steps out with daughter Princess in Surrey. The former glamour model, who showed off a very slim frame, was seen puffing on a vape as she was spotted at a train station in Surrey enjoying a mother-daughter day out. Last month, Katie said during her podcast that she was making it her resolution to quit vaping following health fears over the habit. The sighting of Katie and Princess shows their relationship is back on track following their reported feud over the youngster?s reality TV show. Katie was reportedly banned from the first series of the show - The Princess Diaries. She said she was banned from filming at the request of Princess?s management, who also manage Katie?s ex Peter Andre.
