The Loose Women star gave a revealing interview just days after a it was reported she was taking cocaine
Katie Price was forced to put on a brave face last week as she promoted the latest series of her reality show, My Crazy Life.
This came just days after news that she’d confessed to friends about taking cocaine.
The mum-of-five shared: “People think I’m strong and I am gutsy – but I’m also soft and vulnerable and needy and just want to be loved.
“There have been mornings when I don’t even want to get out of bed – I just wanted to sleep. I’ve been having mental health issues, but no one knows because I hide it well.”
Giving an insight into the heartache over split from husband Kieran Hayler, the 40-year-old revealed: “The sad thing about my break-ups is that it always ends up just being me and Harvey.
“My exes never want to know Harvey - they don’t ring to see how he is. They don’t want to see him – no matter what they portray.
“Obviously, I split the kids and share, so it always ends up being me and Harvey in the house in the evenings - but he goes to bed at 6.30pm, so I sit there and I’m like “Oh”. It’s boring.”
Just weeks after parting ways with Kieran, Katie– who has also been married to Peter Andre and Alex Reid - dived headlong into her new romance with personal trainer Kris Boyson.

CLOSER Katie Price husbands and boyfriends
Warren Furman 1997 - 1999
One of Katie's lowest-profile relationships, she was engaged to Gladiators star Ace - real name Warren Furman – from 1997. The 47 year old was engaged to Jordan for two years, presenting her with a £3,500 diamond ring before they split in 1999.
Warren Furman
Warren appeared on This Morning last year to speak about "crashing back down to the real world" after Gladiators ended in the late 90s. He is also a born again Christian,and exclusively told Closer, "I feel God is saying to me, 'Warren, Katie might listen'. She's caught up in materialistic things."
Dane Bowers 1998 - 2000
Katie began dating Another Level (remember them?) singer Dane Bowers during her Jordan days in 1998. Katie has since spoken about how devasated she was after the pair split in 2000. She even revealed in the CBB house that she nearly committed suicide over it and confessed that Dane was the love of her life.
Dane Bowers
After his smash hit 'Out of Your Mind' with Victoria Beckham (who Katie reportedly had a feud with) Dane went a bit quiet on the music scene. Fast forward to 2013 and he reformed with Another Level for The Big Reunion. More recently, Dane has been linked to Love Island star Laura Anderson, who he apparently ended up cheating on. He must have been out of his mind #sorrynotsorry
Dwight Yorke 2000 - 2001
Katie dated the former Manchester United and Aston Villa footballer, Dwight Yorke. The pair dated for 18 months and had baby Harveytogether, who was born with autism and blindness.
Dwight Yorke
Katie has spoken out many times about Dwight's reluctance to be a part of Harvey's life. She recently revealed that he hasn't seen his teenage son in over 10 years. Dwight has since had a second child with another woman, and he continues to work on international football projects.
Gareth Gates 2001 - 2001
Baby face Gareth Gates shot to fame during Pop Idol in 2002. He started dating a pregnant Katie Price when he was 17, and was reportedly a virgin before they met.
Gareth Gates
Gareth went on to star in The Big Reunion with another one of Katie's exes, Dane Bowers. Awkward. Katie has also said that she would totally go back 'there' with Gareth. Unfortunately for Katie, West End actor Gareth is now happily in a relationship with Coronation Street star Faye Brooke and recently became engaged.
Matt Peacock 2001 - 2001
Former Corrie heartbreaker Matt Peacock stirred the infamous feud between Katie Price and model Jodie Marsh. He dated Jordan for a few months, then later married Jodie as part of Totally TV show Jodie Marsh: Who Will Take Her Up the Aisle?. They divorced three months later.
Matt Peacock
Matt married an actress and model called Rachael in 2016. Bizarrely, his photos have also been used in quite a few catfishing incidents. But Katie recently started following Matt on Instagram - what can this mean?
Peter Andre 2004 - 2009
The nation watched Peter Andre fall for Katie's charms on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in 2004. The pair then starred in a string of reality TV shows documenting their life after a fairytale wedding. They even released an album of duets, which we'd all rather just forget about. Katie and Peter had two children together, Junior and Princess, during their five years of marriage.
Peter Andre
Things between Pricey and Peter have soured in the years following their split, after he blasted Katie for her 'wild' behaviour. Peter is now married to Emily MacDonagh, who Junior and Princess see as an older sister figure. Pete also landed himself a role in the Thomas The Tank Engine film.
Alex Reid 2009 - 2011
Katie married cage fighter Alex Reid less than seven months after splitting from Peter Andre. Their wedding was filmed for a TV show, but their marriage only lasted for 11 months. Katie has since admitted that it happened too soon after Peter.
Alex Reid
Before meeting Katie, Alex starred in Sliding Doors with Gwyneth Paltrow (OK, so it was a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment). After they split, Alex went on to star in Celebrity Big Brother and he continues to fight. He's been married to Nikki Manashe since 2013. Most recently, he has been involved in a sex tape allegation - claiming that Katie showed a group of people a video of him performing a sex act. Will the drama ever end? (We hope not.)
Leandro Penna - 2011 - 2012
Katie got engaged to Leandro after a whirlwind romance shortly after splitting from Alex Reid - despite the couple barely being able to communicate thanks to his limited English and Katie's non-existent Spanish (former model Leandro hails from Argentina). Leo said of their split, "Katie's brain is not wired right, or the wires don't connect properly. I don't know what's wrong with her. I was thinking it over recently and one day decided to pack my bags and leave. There was nothing else I could do. She was driving me insane."
Leandro Penna
Since splitting with KP, Leandro has quit fame to return to his native South America and now runs a successful avocado farm and business. Launching in October 2021 he said, "I present my new avocado venture @paltasroyal. Thanks to all the businesses that gave us confidence, to all the avocado-loving customers and to those merchants who have not yet bought them, do not hesitate."
Kieran Hayler 2012 - 2018
It looked like Katie had a good thing going with Kieran Hayler and their two kids, Jett and Bunny. But Kieran had to go and ruin it by cheating on Katie with her nanny, two best friends (while she was pregnant), then again with a 19-year-old shop assistant. Katie kept taking him backbut she FINALLY called it quits in May 2018.
Kieran Hayler
Kieran is now engaged to Michelle Pentecost and shared photos his new family life.
Kris Boyson
Katie started dating personal trainer Kris Boyson within weeks of splitting from Kieran. She celebrated her 40th birthday with him and her family are said to have approved of him. Their relationship lasted a year before split rumours started to circulate, and the pair were on and off-ing since September 2019 until their split in December that year.
Kris Boyson
Kris is still posting insanely buff topless selfies (keep 'em coming, Kris) and his personal training business is thriving. After his split from Katie, he began dating Katie's former pal Bianca Gascoigne, much to Katie's dismay. The couple moved in together within days due to lockdown but split after nearly a year together, citing their hectic work schedules.
Carl Woods - 2020
Could it be fourth time lucky? After months of speculation, Katie and Carl confirmed their engagement in April 2021.
