Katie Price has landed back on British soil after previously stating she was stranded in Dubai. The former glamour model returned to Gatwick Airport on Saturday, amid a dispute with a Dubai cosmetic clinic over unpaid bills and allegations of botched procedures.
Return to the UK
The 47-year-old was pictured strutting through the terminal at Gatwick, wearing black joggers, a tight-fitting grey crop top, and oversized sunglasses. She was greeted by friends who helped her with two large suitcases and a carry-on bag onto an airport trolley.
Earlier this week, Price claimed in her podcast, The Katie Price Show, that all flights back to the UK had been cancelled due to missile launches and bombings in the UAE. She told her sister Sophie on a video call: "I don't know if you can hear but I can hear thumping noise going on. I'm supposed to be flying home tomorrow and we've had alerts all day and this evening we're hearing a lot of activity going on."
She added: "So, all flights have been cancelled," before explaining that despite the missile attacks, she actually felt safer in the UAE than in the UK.
Dispute Over Cosmetic Treatments
Price and her husband, self-proclaimed millionaire businessman Lee Andrews, have become embroiled in a dispute with an aesthetician at Mistr Aesthetics clinic in Dubai. The couple allegedly refused to pay for treatments including liquid rhinoplasty and facial contouring, blocking the business owner despite multiple invoices.
Andrews shared a screenshot of the practitioner's Instagram page, writing: "This man is operating an illegal practice in Dubai South from his villa without license charging clients and using products not listed by the authorities he augmented my wife and myself terrible results that needed further qualified corrective surgery be careful guys."
Clinic's Response
The clinic broke its silence with a cryptic statement on Instagram Stories, denying the accusations. It read: "Regarding the accusation that has been made about me and my business, I can confidently say that the claims are completely untrue, and it's disappointing to see private matters being spoken about publicly. My business is not affected in any way, and I won't be going back and forth online trying to defend or justify myself."
The statement continued: "The people close to the situation know the real reason behind these false accusations and understand they were made to take attention away from what actually happened, as the version being shared publicly is far from the truth. No further information or statements will be shared regarding this matter."
It concluded: "I'm staying focused on my clients, my work, and moving forward positively." The business declined to comment further when contacted by the Mirror.
