Katie Price has publicly shared her weight on social media afterGood Morning Britainhost Susanna Reid questioned whether the former glamour model might be using Ozempic, telling viewers she was 'very, very, very skinny'.
Posting a photo of herself standing on bathroom scales, Katie Price told followers she now weighs 7st 12lb and insisted: 'I'm healthy,' directly addressing weeks of speculation over her sudden weight loss.
The report came after months of uneasy chatter about Katie Price's appearance, first among fans online and then from television presenters who were prepared to say it out loud.
Earlier this year, the 47-year-old mother-of-five admitted she was seeking 'medical help' after photographs showed her looking markedly slimmer, prompting a flurry of comments from followers worried she might be unwell. She later revealed she had undergone a series of tests to establish why the weight had dropped off.
On Instagram, the latest update arrived not as a polished photoshoot but a stark close-up, Katie Price's tattooed and manicured feet, planted on a set of digital scales in a bathroom. Her husband Lee Andrews reposted the picture on his own story, adding the caption, '7 stone 12 pounds I've put on weight.
Everyone mentioning my weight here you go I'm healthy.' It was a deliberately blunt response to a question that had begun to overshadow everything else in her public life.
Concern about Katie's weight had ramped up at the start of the year, when regular listeners to her podcast and Instagram followers noticed how gaunt she appeared on camera. Some messaged to ask whether she was ill; others simply speculated. On her podcast with sister Sophie Price, the reality star addressed the reaction head-on.
'I know I look gaunt, I look like I'm ill – hence why I'm going to the doctors tomorrow,' she said, sounding more exasperated than alarmed.
'I don't know how many times I have to say to people, 'Yes I know I've lost weight and there's obviously a reason,' I said it to the doctor. We all know that we're trying to sort it all out and as soon as I know then I'll let everyone know.'
The speculation reached daytime television in March, when Katie Price appeared live onGood Morning Britain. Presenter Susanna Reid, echoing what many viewers had been saying online, chose to put the question directly to her guest rather than whisper it on social media.
