Katie Price is ready to get her 'twenty thousandth' boob job amid the stress of her husband Lee Andrews' ongoing disappearance. The 48-year-old glamour model has been through the wringer since their whirlwind marriage in January, with her new beau accused of being a conman and scammer who is unable to leave Dubai due to a travel ban.
Since May, Lee's whereabouts have been the subject of mass public speculation when he first went missing. He eventually reappeared after a stint in prison – which he falsely claimed was due to espionage – and had an emotional reunion with his reality star wife. But it didn't last long, and he was shipped back to jail once more. Although there were reports at the end of July that he had been released, his radio silence tells another story.
Stress of a missing husband
During his freedom, he couldn't stay off social media, constantly posting on Instagram, making cameos and promising tell-all interviews. All this ended on July 9, and we've heard neither hide nor hair from him since, nor has the mum-of-five offered any updates. After removing her wedding ring, she recently put it back on again, implying he's still in the picture.
Naturally, the stress of having an essentially missing husband seems to have taken its toll. In a recent episode of her daughter's ITV reality series, Princess Diaries, when asked by the 19-year-old if she was going to get her 'twenty thousandth' boob job, she confirmed she had an appointment for September, as one is 'a bit smaller' than the other.
Meanwhile, appearing on Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection, the prolific plastic surgery user shared: 'I've realised there's a reason why I do it all. And it is to do with men. I've always said I haven't got body dysmorphia, because I didn't think I did. But I realise I do.'
Old habits creeping in
It seems as though old habits are creeping in once more, with a source telling The Mirror that she's having work done because Lee has left her 'all over the place'. The insider continued: 'When Katie's stressed and doesn't know what to do with a guy, and her confidence is low, she goes for surgery. And she's all over the place with Lee – she knows the world hates him and her family don't like him.'
In the same conversation on Olivia's show, she speculated that she must have had somewhere between 30 and 40 surgeries up to this point in her life, adding she could have spent up to £40,000 in total. So far it's understood she's had 17 breast augmentations, multiple facelifts and a fox eye operation.
Katie's defence of Lee
Although Katie has barely spoken about Lee's current status in recent weeks, she has addressed various accusations as she continues to come to his defence. Lee has been accused of misleading claims of being a multi-millionaire business owner, being banned from leaving Dubai, being jailed and reportedly arrested again in Dubai, teasing a fake pregnancy, scamming a string of women, and faking a kidnapping.
Last month it was reported that Lee Andrews attempted to flog an alleged sex tape of him and Katie for £250k before backtracking and claiming it was a 'joke'. Katie has doubled down on this in a recent podcast: 'He said it as a joke, in a voice note to someone, and I sent it to my sister because the email came through to us. I said: "Look Soph, he's said it as a joke." I said: "I haven't even done a sex tape and then it's come out."'
On the same podcast, recorded on July 27, she said that she 'thinks he comes out [of prison]' on that day, although it's unclear if that actually happened.
