Katie Price undergoes blood tests after unexplained weight loss raises alarms
Katie Price has been spotted with a large white plaster covering part of her hand after a hospital visit over her rapid weight loss.
The mum-of-five, 47, has sparked concern over recent weeks thanks to dropping several pounds. Katie, who already had a slim frame prior to this health crisis, admits she doesn’t know why she is losing so much weight.
But the reality TV star is determined to get to the bottom of what is happening to her body. Stepping out on Monday, Katie could be seen with a plaster on her hand after undergoing a series of blood tests.
She arrived half an hour late to her meet and greet event with Kerry Katona at Theatre Severn in Shrewsbury. The two women have been touring the country since the start of this month for An Evening With Katie Price and Kerry Katona shows.

As she broke cover on Monday, Katie opted for a casual look, donning a loose-fitting grey cardigan paired with leggings and white trainers. She swept her hair back into a messy bun and hid behind large sunglasses in an attempt to keep a low profile.
Over the weekend, Katie expressed confusion over her significant weight loss during a health update on Snapchat, having previously denied using weight loss medication. While at the hospital, she mentioned needing to have stitches removed after accidentally cutting herself while cooking a curry.
‘I’ve been up early at the doctors so she could do some bloods and because my veins are so rubbish they had three attempts,” Katie admitted on her SnapChat story. “They could only fill two tubes up, so I’ve got to go back in two weeks.”
Katie continued: “And I’ve got to have my stitches out then because they looked at my little stab wound that I did. The reason I’m going to the doctors is because I keep losing weight and I don’t know why. So that’s that.”
Previously, Katie had addressed fans’ concerns about her weight loss, affirming that it was intentional. In May, she stated: “Yes I’ve lost weight. Yes that’s what I’ve wanted to do, I’ve wanted to lose weight.
“Because… three, four years ago when I broke my feet I was in a wheelchair for ten months because they said I’d never walk again, and obviously you put weight on being in a wheelchair. And then I did all the IVF stuff, that also puts on weight. So yeah, I did put on weight and I hated it, I felt uncomfortable and it wasn’t me.”
Last year, she also opened up about her struggle with her weight and body image during an episode of the Louis Theroux podcast. “I always said I haven’t got body dysmorphia,” she confessed.
“But there’s definitely something, I don’t know what it is. I’ve never looked in the mirror and thought I’m pretty.”
