Katie Price hospitalised over worrying weight loss as stitches removal looms

Katie Price has been to hospital amid concerns over a worrying weight loss, as the former glamour model also revealed she needs stitches removed from a recent injury. The 47-year-old mother of five posted the health update on Snapchat over the weekend, saying she is undergoing tests to determine why she keeps losing weight. She also referenced an upcoming appointment to have stitches removed after a small stab wound.

Price told followers that during a recent doctor’s visit for bloodwork, she faced multiple challenges with drawing blood. She said: “I’ve been up early at the doctors so she could do some bloods and because my veins are so poor they had three attempts. They could only fill two tubes up, so I’ve got to go back in two weeks.” She added that she expects to return for further testing while noting the need to have her stitches removed when that visit occurs. “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.”

The update follows a night in A&E that Price documented on social media. On Saturday, she posted a photo of an illuminated A&E sign with the caption, “Not what I had on my Bingo card for Friday night.” In a follow-up post, she showed herself undergoing eyebrow lamination and quipped that it had been “a day” and that she did not plan to end up in A&E on a Friday night. The star has not offered further details about the medical evaluation or the reasons behind the weight loss.

Price’s public concerns about her weight have persisted for months. In May she addressed the issue directly, and in June she shared a post showing her weight as part of a broader conversation with fans about body image and health. She has previously discussed her relationship with her body in depth, including remarks on past body-related challenges. During a previous appearance on The Louis Theroux Podcast, she acknowledged ongoing discomfort with her body and suggested that body image has been a long-running issue for her, even as she has occasionally embraced periods of weight loss.

Representatives for Price did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The Daily Mail’s coverage of the health update notes that the publication reached out to her team for a comment. As the situation develops, fans are watching for additional details about the cause of the weight loss and the outcomes of the ongoing medical tests.
