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.”
