EMERGENCY: Katie Price shares HEARTBREAKING UPDATE with Fans From Hospital

Katie Price has disclosed that she was taken to hospital at the weekend due to her dramatic weight loss. In a health update posted on Snapchat, the former glamour model revealed she needed stitches removed and underwent medical tests to determine the cause of her continuing weight loss. Supporters have previously expressed concern about Katie’s shrinking frame, and whilst the glamour model had earlier stepped on scales to demonstrate all was well, she has now confessed she “doesn’t know why” she keeps shedding pounds and required tests to establish if anything was amiss.

Speaking via her Snapchat story, Katie shared footage explaining the situation, captioning it: “Gone to the doctors about my weight.

“I’ve been up early at the doctors so she could do some bloods and because my veins are so s*** they had three attempts,” she began, reports the Mirror. “They could only fill two tubes up, so I’ve got to go back in two weeks.

“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.”

On Saturday (20 September) the former glamour model disclosed to followers that she had been rushed to A&E.

“Not what I had on my Bingo card fro Friday night,” she posted on another Snapchat update, alongside an image of an illuminated A&E sign. While further details remain under wraps, representatives for Katie assured The Mirror that she was “absolutely fine”, explaining her hospital visit was merely for a routine check-up and to have her stitches removed.

Previously, Katie had addressed concerns about her dramatic weight loss, affirming it was intentional. In May, she stated: “Yes I’ve lost weight. Yes that’s what I’ve wanted to do, I’ve wanted to lose weight.

“Because… three, four years ago when I broke my feet I was in a wheelchair for ten months because they said I’d never walk again, and obviously you put weight on being in a wheelchair. And then I did all the IVF stuff, that also puts on weight. So yeah, I did put on weight and I hated it, I felt uncomfortable and it wasn’t me.”

In a candid conversation on the Louis Theroux podcast last year, she opened up about her battle with body image. “I always said I haven’t got body dysmorphia,” she confessed.

“But there’s definitely something, I don’t know what it is. I’ve never looked in the mirror and thought I’m pretty.”

Friends and family have raised concerns about Katie after the star consistently arrived late or failed to show up at a series of events. An insider revealed: “Katie has been turning up late to events – or not turning up at all – and those close to her are worried that she might be getting out of control. They’ve witnessed it before. She’s trying to do it all, but she’s burning herself out. It doesn’t seem to be sinking in.”
