Fans of former glamour model Katie Price have voiced mounting anxiety for her wellbeing following a recent public appearance with her eldest daughter, Princess Andre. The mother-daughter duo were photographed during a shopping excursion in central London, where Katie's notably slender physique became a focal point for concerned followers on social media.
A Chilly Shopping Trip Under the Spotlight
The outing, which took place recently, saw Katie Price, 47, and her 18-year-old daughter Princess braving the cold, huddled together under a distinctive bright yellow Moschino umbrella. Documented by Princess on her social media channels, the pair travelled by train and taxi to the luxury department store Selfridges, later leaving with numerous shopping bags.
Photographs from the day showed both wearing form-fitting leggings, with Katie completing her look with a black cropped puffer jacket and a large Louis Vuitton handbag. Observers noted Katie's obvious cheekbones and slim frame, with her tattooed eyebrows and hand inkings visible alongside her signature eyelash extensions.
Social Media Reaction: From Admiration to Alarm
While Princess captioned a vlog of their day with "This was fun", prompting many fans to praise their close bond, a significant portion of the online commentary shifted to Katie's appearance. Comments on the posts ranged from expressions of worry to direct questions about her health.
One fan commented, "I've always been a KP fan... But is no one talking about how painfully thin she is?" Another simply stated, "she looks ill", while a third asked, "Oh me Katie what happened". This public concern mirrors private anxieties reportedly held by Katie's own family.
Addressing the Weight Concerns Directly
This is not the first time Katie Price has faced scrutiny over her weight. She has previously addressed the issue head-on, notably during an appearance on the Disruptors podcast. She denied using 'skinny jabs' and attributed past weight fluctuations to a combination of significant health challenges.
Katie explained that she underwent three failed IVF treatments in 15 months, a process known to cause weight gain. This period coincided with a severe foot injury that left her in a wheelchair for ten months during the COVID pandemic, severely limiting her mobility. "They said I’d never run again," she recounted.
She insists her current weight is natural, stating, "I’ve always been tiny," and attributing her slim figure to renewed activity like horse riding now that her feet have healed and the effects of IVF have subsided.
Family Fears and a Plea for Privacy
The visual concern comes just a month after a source close to the star revealed to The Mirror that Katie's family are worried about her health. The insider described "open, honest conversations" within the family regarding her wellbeing, including her mental health and weight loss.
"Those conversations come from a place of love, care and support," the source said, emphasising the family's priority is her welfare. They also criticised recent sensationalised reports from alleged friends, calling them "cruel, hurtful and deeply insensitive" and a reduction of a "very personal journey into a sensationalised narrative".
As Katie Price navigates life after her split from JJ Slater, the focus from both the public and her loved ones remains firmly fixed on her health and recovery from a series of arduous physical and emotional trials.
