Katie Price admits her son Junior Andre keeps telling her he doesn’t need any more plastic surgery ahead of his latest procedure, a £10,000 facelift in Turkey.
On Wednesday, Katie, 46, took to her Instagram Story to confirm she had arrived in the Turkish capital Istanbul for facelift surgery, or rhytidectomy, at the city’s Trio Clinic.
She also shared a photo of herself getting ready for surgery with the accompanying caption: ‘@trioclinicinstanbul surgical tights on!’
Facelift surgery takes on average between two and a half and four and a half hours and recovery takes two to four weeks. Katie is accompanied on her “work trip” by her eldest son, Harvey Price, 22.
Before the facelift, she was asked to… Heat If your five children are concerned about your surgical habits and you say, ‘No, they’re fine.

On Wednesday, Katie took to her Instagram Story to share that she had arrived in Istanbul for her facelift, or rhytidectomy, surgery.
She also shared a photo of herself getting ready for surgery with the accompanying caption: ‘@trioclinicinstanbul surgical tights on!’
“I think they’re used to me doing it. It’s normal for them. I don’t even tell anyone about it, not even my mother, because she complains about me.
“Kids say, ‘Oh, you’re the only one, aren’t you, Mom?’ Junior always says, ‘Mom, you’re beautiful, you don’t need anything. You’re stunning anyway.’ But they know I’m the only person who has that problem.”
Katie has five children: Harvey, 22, whose father is retired footballer Dwight Yorke, Junior, 19, and Princess Andre, 17, both children she shares with her first husband Peter Andre, and Jett, 10, and Bunny Hayler, nine, from her third marriage to Kieran Hayler.
Katie’s trip to Türkiye comes after she missed her recent bankruptcy hearing.
The former glamour model was absent from a bankruptcy court hearing scheduled for Tuesday over a £760,000 estate.
A warrant has since been issued for her arrest as Katie was given “very clear warnings” that she must appear in court, and she has said she is “doing the best she can” to rectify her financial problems.
On Instagram on Wednesday, the mother of five dismissed recent claims that she had travelled to Turkey after being turned away by other cosmetic surgeons.
She said: ‘I’m filming my new documentary. The reason I chose Trio Clinic is because I have friends who have had surgery there and in my opinion they are the best for what I want to do. I can’t wait, they are amazing and they are thorough here.’

Before the facelift, Heat asked the This Is Me author if her five children were concerned about her surgical habits. Katie replied: “No, they’re fine” (pictured with Jett in March).
Katie continued: “I think they’re used to me doing it now. It’s normal for them. I don’t even tell anyone anymore, not even my mum, because she complains about me” (pictured with Bunny in April).

On Tuesday, again on Instagram, Katie shared a statement regarding her current issues.
She wrote: ‘While I am currently aware of the severity of my current personal financial situation with my ongoing bankruptcy, I am shocked today that while working on a documentary about corrective surgeries, I find myself in the news headlines again.
‘In my opinion, the media is once again trying to cause continued humiliation to me and my family. There are much more important and pressing issues around the world and I’m sure most people are bored of reading stories that are constantly distorted.
‘I will continue to cooperate with relevant persons on the matters to the best of my ability, which will be addressed after my return from work.
‘Despite the stories that constantly try to humiliate me for my personal misfortunes, I don’t feel ashamed or embarrassed. I own my situation and I’m doing everything I can to resolve it and make things right.’
Katie added that she is currently going through “a tough time” and is doing “the best she can” for the sake of her family.
She wrote: ‘I have to get on with my job to comply with these bankruptcy orders, which is all I am trying to do at the moment. However, I am not running away from the matters and will continue to take them very seriously.
‘I am doing everything I can to make things right in extremely difficult times. Once again, I would like to stress that there are much more important stories worth publishing.
‘I will continue to work on my mental health issues for the sake of myself and my family and do the best I can.’
On Tuesday, Katie shared a statement on her Instagram account saying she is “aware of the severity” of her financial situation.
In May, Katie claimed on her own podcast that she had been banned from appearing in court due to her mental health, after coming under fire for skipping her latest bankruptcy hearing to go on holiday to Cyprus.
He was due to give evidence about his finances at the High Court in May, but at the start of the hearing, lawyers said he had told them at the last minute that he could not attend due to ill health. A judge described this excuse as “lame”.
Katie then jetted off to Ayia Napa with her MAFS star boyfriend JJ Slater and faced a public backlash after they were spotted sunbathing by the pool together.
On her podcast, The Katie Price Show, which she hosts alongside her sister Sophie Price, Katie said she had been removed from the court because she was “mentally not strong enough”.
