Loose Women viewers have noticed a certain someone has been missing from the show - but why HAS Katie Price not been on?
The real reason why Katie Price has been missing from Loose Women has FINALLY been revealed after months of speculation.
Pricey, who is normally a regular on the panel show, hasn't been seen since 24 January in an appearance to discuss the online bullying petition she was taking to parliament.
But after nearly two months off the show, fans have been starting to wonder where she's got to.

For her stint in the jungle in 2004, Jordan opted for practical corn rows and clear skin, but those shower scenes relaunched her career and set her firmly on a reality TV trajectory

Fresh out of the jungle and with a new man in the form of 90's pop sensation Peter Andre on her arm, Katie was all about the matchingoutfits. She ditched the braids and slap-free face for a more high maintenance look.

A new mum to second son Junior, Katie was quickly back in her knickers on the red carpet, sporting a noticeably slimmer nose and smoother skin.

As she prepared to welcome baby number three (her first daughter, Princess Tiaami), Jordan was looking more than a little like her impending arrival. Weird or what?

Now mainly known as Katie Price, she admitted after confirming her nose job, "I've always had a thing about my nose."I haven't had a full 100% nose job. They shaved the bone – they didn't break my nose. In fact, I liked my nose before and now. If I had a cupboard with both noses, I'd alternate between them!"

At 30, Katie was still young but already a fan of fillers."I get my forehead and around my eyes Botoxed every six months and I love it. You can't beat it," she said.

She's not been shy about the work she's had done on her teeth, either. "I didn't do it for cosmetics, I fell off a skateboard and cracked my teeth when I was younger," she admitted."They were so expensive. When I was in the US, I watched Extreme Makeover and went to see the dentist on there – $150,000 my bloody teeth cost me."

She was also one of the pioneers of lip fillers, sporting the plumped up pout that's so very mainstream these days.

By 2014, the boobs were most definitely BACK, as was a painfully taught-looking face.

As her facial muscles relaxed back to normal, her hair followed suit and Katie looked happier and more natural than she had in a while when she got together with Kieran Hayler.

Katie went into the CBB house in 2015 and admitted having her boobs reduced – but that things hadn't gone exactly to plan."They were going to take them out on Monday," she told her shocked housemates. "My implant was hanging out in New Year's Day. But it hasn't stopped me coming in, because I'm not running around."

We've lost track of where Katie's boobs were in 2016, but this is the year she seemed to become seriously addicted to fillers.

A botched botox job left Katie feeling 'ugly' in 2017."I absolutely hated it... the only thing I could do to sort it out was to remove the threads and then have a face lift. I never ever wanted a face lift at my age - I would have had one in years to come, but I didn't want one this young,"

She eventually returned the Brussels-based surgeon who fixed her botched boobs back in 2015.

By 2018 her face was back to normal, but not before shocking pictures emerged of her post surgery in Belgium, her face wrapped in bandaged and surgical fluid tubes hanging off her head.
Taking to Twitter, viewers have expressed concern over Katie's whereabouts and have demanded that she resurface.
Of course, she's made it clear that she's been suffering after a "botched" facelift left her face "f---ed up," and has shied away from the limelight since then - apart from an appearance at the Cheltenham Races, where she wore huge sunglasses and appeared with Kieran Hayler.
But rumours of "diva" behaviour along with lateness led many to question whether she'd been fired.
An ITV source told Mirror Online that Pricey's behaviour was causing her to fall out with the other Loose Women, adding that she would always make the conversations about herself.
HOWEVER. This has all been put to bed by a source, who told the publication that it was all down to other commitments.
They said: "It's purely a case of diary clashes - particularly as Loose has been off air last week and will be again because of the racing.
"It just means there are limited days she could go on, and then on the days Loose Women have a spot for her, she's got other commitments. It's not a case that she's been sacked."
They also said that the show doesn't schedule the panelists so far in advance, and added: "I don't see why Katie wouldn't appear again at some stage."
So there you have it!
