Katie Price admits she ‘never pays’ for cosmetic surgery and is offered endless free procedures but insists: ‘I don’t take advantage of it’

Katie Price has admitted she never pays for her cosmetic procedures, despite undergoing countless surgeries over the years.

The former glamour model, 46, has had multiple boob jobs, facelifts, and dental work, with the total cost likely exceeding £100,000 but has claimed she gets it all for free by promoting the clinics on social media.

Speaking on the Disruptors podcast, she explained that by posting about her procedures online, she avoids paying.

She also admitted she had lost count of how many procedures she has had over the years, but settled on ‘maybe eight’ boob jobs.

Katie revealed: ‘I don’t pay for my surgery. I get it free for an Instagram post.’ 

Host Rob Moore asked: ‘So if you share who did the operation, you get it for free?’ to which Katie confirmed: ‘Yeah. I have an open book where I can flick through and have any surgery I want from most clinics.’

She added: ‘I don’t take advantage of it as much as I could. If I did and really let myself go, I’d look like an alien, and I don’t want to look like an alien.’

The mother-of-five often travels abroad to Turkey or Belgium for treatments and said she wouldn’t have surgery in the UK again due to the higher prices.  

Speaking on her own The Katie Price Podcast she told listeners that she has changed her mind about getting another Brazilian Bum Lift (BBL), instead opting to build her figure naturally at the gym before adding that it would take around a year to achieve her goal. 

She revealed: ‘I’ve decided my bum, I’m not going to have filler or implants, I’m going to work my a*** off at the gym.

‘I’ll do before and after pictures mind you it will probably take a year to get my bum to where I want it.’  

It comes after Katie revealed her son Harvey has been ‘kicked out’ of his place at a residential care home for being ‘too difficult’. 

The former glamour model explained the 22-year-old was set to go to a new care home in a month’s time, after losing his place at a specialist college last year.

Harvey is blind, autistic, has septo-optic dysplasia, a learning disability, and is one of the 2,000 people in the UK with Prader-Willi syndrome, a genetic disorder. 

Speaking on the Disruptors podcast she explained that by posting about her procedures online, she avoids paying, before admitting to having a book of contacts that: 'I don't take advantage of as much as I could'

But Katie explained that she now has to find somewhere else for him to live after new management took over the care home and determined that they couldn’t cater for Harvey’s needs.

Speaking on her podcast The Katie Price Show, she said: ‘Harvey is supposed to be moving in four-and-a-half weeks, they’ve changed management and said they won’t be able to cater for Harv, because he’s too difficult.

‘So now I’ve got to find another placement for him… so yeah, more drama to deal with.

Katie later opened up on the stress the sudden decision had caused, with her having only four weeks to find a new home for Harvey and still wanting the ‘best’ for her son.

She explained: ‘We worked months and months for that and he was told four-and-a-half weeks before that he couldn’t go there, and Harvey has been doing the countdown. 

‘Well it’s stressful because you want the right thing for your child and it is a lot of time and effort to go back and do more meetings, more forms, it is very time-consuming because you want the best for your child.’ 

Harvey’s move to a new care home came after Katie was forced to withdraw him from his £350,000-a-year college last summer mid her bankruptcy woes.

Katie was left devastated after her local authority refused to fund her son’s care because he has ‘no healthcare issues’, with an ᴀssessor concluding that Harvey ‘only needs social care’.

He was being supported at the residential National Star College in Gloucester, but Katie revealed in March that she was being forced to pull him out because ‘West SusSєx Council wouldn’t fund him’ at a college too far from where she lives.

Katie was Harvey’s primary caregiver until he turned 19, and in 2021 filmed his moved into National Star College as part of BBC documentary Katie Price: Harvey and Me.

It featured highs and lows for Harvey as he adjusted to living without his mother for the first time in his life, while leading a more independent life and learning new skills.

But in March last year, Katie revealed: ‘I’m having a nightmare at the minute. We were looking for him to stay at his college another year or if not a placement, but [the local authority] haven’t accepted it.

‘They’ve given me three months that he has to find somewhere else by July. With someone like Harvey you need the transitional move, you need to do it slow. I’m trying to find somewhere nearer or something for Harvey but three months isn’t a long time.’

Last month, Katie also revealed that Harvey was to start using weight loss jabs in a bid to help improve his life.

The TV star explained that her eldest, who weighs 28 stone, was beginning a course of an Ozempic-style jab after consulting with his doctors.

A recognised symptom of his Prader-Willi syndrome is a constant hunger, leaving Katie fearful for Harvey’s health without further intervention, after already trying a number of different weight loss strategies over the years.

Speaking to The Sun to raise awareness, she explained that Harvey’s doctors have advised he may be taking the jabs for up to two years.

She said: ‘It’s really, really serious and life-changing for Harvey. He’s at risk of a heart attack, and because of his condition, he’s not getting any smaller. 

‘He’s putting on weight. It doesn’t matter what we do. So the doctors are doing it to give him a better, longer life, and for his health.’

Katie added: ‘The good thing about starting him on the drug is, if it has any effect, you can stop it because you do it weekly. We’ve tried food, he’s had dieticians, it’s just the way he is.

‘They want to try him on it for at least one or two years, which is a long time, but they’ll control what level he needs then up it as they ᴀssess it.’

Harvey’s biological father is former footballer Dwight York, who briefly dated Katie in 2001, breaking up soon after Katie fell pregnant with her eldest child.

The ex premier league star denied he was the father, until a DNA test proved his paternity.

Katie previously claimed that Dwight has barely seen Harvey since he was born, saying: ‘I think he’s seen Harvey about nine times in his life.’

She claimed: ‘I don’t think he liked it that I was with Pete [Andre] before adding: ‘I don’t know whether it’s because he couldn’t have me or Harv, to this day I don’t know.

‘I’ve tried to send him pictures of Harvey on Instagram, Harvey playing the piano, he just ignores everything. He doesn’t want to know. But the door is always open, always.’

WHAT IS PRADER-WILLI SYNDROME?

Prader-Willi syndrome is a rare genetic condition that causes problems including constant urges to eat food, restricted growth and reduced muscle tone.

Other potential issues include learning difficulties, lack of Sєxual development and behavioral problems such as tantrums or stubbornness.

The rare condition, which affects one in every 15,000 children born in England, is caused by a defect on chromosome number 15 – and happens by chance.

Because there is no cure, treatment aims to manage the symptoms – with parents of sufferers urged to get their children to stick to a healthy, balanced diet.

Children with the syndrome can eat up to six times more than children of the same age – and still feel hungry.

It was first described in 1956 by Swiss doctors A Prader, A Labhart and H Willi.
