Her name has become synonymous with the surgery and countless cosmetic operations that she’s had over the years, and insiders reveal that Katie Price shows no sign of slowing down, with six more surgeries planned for 2025.
‘Katie is heading to Turkey in January for her first New Year’s procedure: fixing her pixie ears,’ they tell Closer. ‘She thinks they need correcting after her recent facelift – she’s been saying she’s got Spock eyebrows and the ears to match. She’s having her ears removed, then re-stitched in place and pinned back so that they don’t stick out. She wants them like the Bratz doll, which is flat and back.
‘The second operation is a chin/neck lift as well as tightening the skin around her knees and back because her excess weight loss has left her with loose, baggy skin. Filler will have to be used as Katie has no fat left.’
Open about her love of surgery and desire to look like a Bratz doll, last year Katie – who recently shared a pic of two of the iconic noughties dolls on Instagram, jokingly likening them to her and BFF Kerry Katona – claimed, ‘I will never stop with the surgery… It’s my body and I do what I want to do.’
And the source continues, ‘She’ll then have further surgery on her right eye as she appears to be permanently winking. This surgery is very tricky and might not be successful, but Katie has said how she hates the left side of her face.
‘Later in the year she’s also planning to have a breast reduction – as the left breast is capsulated – and is looking at getting her lips done, as well as considering butt implants again.’
Should all of the 46-year- old’s anticipated surgeries go ahead, Katie – who shot to fame in the late 1990s as a fresh-faced glamour model – will be adding to a plethora of previous operations and tweakments.
Last year alone Katie had a £10,000 facelift and 17th boob job, as part of a catalogue of surgeries that began in 1998 with her first boob job and liposuction treatment, and also consists of a 2019 Brazilian bum lift and tummy tuck.
But after multiple botched treatments – including both her 2015 and 2020 boob jobs, the first of which left her with a hole in her breast, while the second resulted in her being forced to have an emergency procedure when the implants became infected – over the years, the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star’s friends are fearful of her seeming addiction to altering her appearance, especially as Katie’s former surgeon now refuses to operate on her.
Closer’s source reveals, ‘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. 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.
‘Pals say she’s a victim of surgical change and that she’s morphing further and further away from herself to become someone else in her current transformation bid to be the ideal image which, for her, is a Bratz doll. Katie admits she won’t stop until she thinks she’s perfect.’
The mum of five – to son Harvey, 22, from her relationship with footballer Dwight Yorke in 2001, Junior, 19, and Princess, 17, who she shares with her first husband Peter Andre, as well as son Jett, 11, and daughter Bunny, 10, from her third marriage to Kieran Hayler – has also been plagued by criticism on her social media over her constantly changing physique. Not only do her followers feel that Katie has gone too far with the surgery, they’ve also begun raising concerns over the star’s dramatic weight loss in recent months, saying she looks ‘gaunt’ and ‘unwell’.
And Katie’s family, as well as her boyfriend of nearly a year, JJ Slater, 31, are also worried about her.
Indeed, Katie previously revealed that Junior and Princess hate seeing their mum when she’s recovering from surgery, saying, ‘Princess won’t have surgery, she’s seen me go through it all.
‘You’ve got to know the process. It’s not easy having surgery, you have to recover and you do look horrific for a while.’
The source concludes, ‘Everyone is concerned that there will never be an end to Katie’s quest for perfection because she’s set herself an impossible goal – it’s like a deadly addiction. And every operation carries further risks.
‘But Katie insists she doesn’t care if she dies on the table and she jokes about it. But there’s nothing about undergoing operation after operation and risking leaving five kids motherless.’
